Noctua NH-D15

G.skill Ripjaw V 16Gb 

EVGA 1070 FTW

3 Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB

Now, I'm a older Gent that has been building computers since the 8088 days. This is my first build since I build my i7-2600k in 2011. Even back then i wasn't to worried about cable management vs getting it done. The  power supply I purchased barely allowed me to get the 4+4 cable to the top of the motherboard on a mid tower Cooler Master HAF 912. 

 

My experiences with the new build,

 

My first thoughts when the Case arrived was OMG this is a beast. I actually had to rearrange my shelves for it to fit.

 

Power supply:

Installing the power supply was easy but confusing. I figured that the bracket for the power supply would simply slide on, this was not the case. The bracket had to be gentle forced into place as it's a snug fit. I enjoyed the power supply being completely modular this allowed me to not have the cable always in the way. 

 

Motherboard:

Easy as 1, 2, 3, I have never in the past had a computer case already have the ATX standoffs attached. This just allowed me to slide the IO Shield and slide the Motherboard in place securing it with the screws. 

 

Drive Bay:

This was a joy to work with, the only thing that could have made it better was not having to use screws to support the drives. 

 

 

The only issue I had with this case is that I was trying to figure out the best way to run the cables and power for the SSD's to make them as clean as the rest of the case. If anyone has images of how they ran theirs with this case that would be helpful.

This should be written in the cases manual. On the corsair 88r manual it showed where which cable should run. So i think your case should say that too.

That case is amazing indeed, here is the PC I built last year in it:

Unfortunately I didn't see it in the case manual but i will check again.

Nice, I went air cooled instead, my temps at full load is 65ish degrees
