building my rig into the ft01 really reminds me how good the build quality of the 800d is. but thats too big and has to go.

IINexusII · Jul 6, 2010, 06:20 PM

temps are much much better. 52c while playing games. it used to get to about 68c with the 800d. ambient droppd abit too since theres now 2 intakes.

sneekypeet · Jul 6, 2010, 08:28 PM

Got bored and wanted to mock it up. I still plan to add the chipset block and get the rest of the loop in the case, but this is fine for now

(FIH) The Don · Jul 6, 2010, 08:32 PM

that 24pin is just stunning alongside that GB board imo

but that SLI bridge should be black instead

sneekypeet · Jul 6, 2010, 08:35 PM

I have a gold flexy one, just threw this one on to help with spacing. If you have a black one I'd gladly install it

and yes Crys1s Gamer did a very quality job on that 24-pin for me, well worth the price IMHO

(FIH) The Don · Jul 6, 2010, 08:38 PM

you just need this

sneekypeet · Jul 6, 2010, 08:44 PM

Even tho it is a simple solution, I dont see myself painting it.

(FIH) The Don · Jul 6, 2010, 08:55 PM

oh well

is that the UD7 or 6 your using there?

is it only the UD7 that has NF200 chip on it?

sneekypeet · Jul 6, 2010, 08:56 PM

UD7
my UD6 does not have the NF200, AFAIK the UD7 is the only one.

Nice chair.

Chairs are as important as any other component, cause if your ass ain't comfortable...you're not gonna have a good time.

MT Alex · Jul 7, 2010, 03:27 AM

God, I need a new chair. Been looking for the right one, but I don't want to spend over $250.

sneekypeet · Jul 7, 2010, 04:13 AM

I love the deal staples offers. If you have one local, go plant ur bum in the chairs.

I got a nice chair last month, $200 and leather

Plus they offer an unconditional warranty...for like $25 you can call a number is anything goes wrong in like 2 to 3 years. SO say the strut goes bad, or the chair begins to annoy you with squeeking, just call em up, they send a giftcard for the amount spent, less the waranty, and you go get a new chair. Plus you get to keep the old one and pass it on to someone with a worse chair than yours.

Radical_Edward · Jul 7, 2010, 04:14 AM

I love my chair. Got it for free from a friend who got a $400 one that's constantly falling apart. Mine to this day only has wear and tear from my old desk, which some tape fixed in a jiffy.

DaveK · Jul 7, 2010, 02:57 PM

My cable management is always an improvement, but the end result is never that good, I'm blaming the DVD drive, I really need to get a SATA one. Man my PC was all over the place, both side panels were kept off, bottom front and the rear fans were off and the CPU fan was off, and still is. Later I might add it back and am going to put my cathodes back in. I can't wait to build a new rig later in the year.

Been looking for the right one, but I don't want to spend over $250. __________________ “growing up, i always wanted to be a vet. til i learned there was more to being a vet than just putting down cats all day.” -digibucc My 700D

If you have one local, go plant ur bum in the chairs. I got a nice chair last month, $200 and leather Plus they offer an unconditional warranty...for like $25 you can call a number is anything goes wrong in like 2 to 3 years. SO say the strut goes bad, or the chair begins to annoy you with squeeking, just call em up, they send a giftcard for the amount spent, less the waranty, and you go get a new chair. Plus you get to keep the old one and pass it on to someone with a worse chair than yours. __________________ Hers: ASUS Maximus V Gene / i7 3770K / Swiftech H220 / 4X8GB Corsair Dominators / ASUS GTX660 / Corsair AX-760 / Windows 7 64bit / Fractal Design ARC Midi R2 Test: Gigabyte Z68X-UD4-B3 / i7 2600K / A lot Of Coolers / Ripjaws Currently / HIS HD7950 IceQ Turbo / Silverstone SST-ST85F-G / Windows 7 64bit / InWin D-Frame Limited Edition

Got it for free from a friend who got a $400 one that's constantly falling apart. Mine to this day only has wear and tear from my old desk, which some tape fixed in a jiffy. __________________ My heatware My FS thread Solaris Utility DVD TacticalHandleGaming

Man my PC was all over the place, both side panels were kept off, bottom front and the rear fans were off and the CPU fan was off, and still is. Later I might add it back and am going to put my cathodes back in. I can't wait to build a new rig later in the year. Before: After:
