I don't know if its installed by default. But it lights up when the rig is on, so I guess it's properly connected.

Excellent rig sneekypeet! I love these cases, so many options for water cooling and the slick exterior design is so sexy! So whats the deal with your rad at the bottom, is it just sitting there un-mounted?
just lays on its side. it's also just a touch long and why it sits on the slight angle

I need to update my system little with some changes.
I want three color inside, black, red, white, motherboard black-red, sleeve black/red, graphic card black/white with red fonts and fans black CORSAIR with white rings. And only little white led.
Better three than only two colors inside.

That should take you quite some time to find hardware with those exact color scheme's, but I am sure it is going to turn out awesome if you stick with it! Are you goin with a black or white exterior colored case? dare I say red case?

No I know exactly what I need only fans to decide and LED.
I have red/black motherboard, My Force GT SSD is red, my H100 is black with white LED on controller, PSU have red/black sleeve and red fonts... graphi card black white, like this only different wider model



red fonts



RAM with little white LED, only fans to decide, Gentle Typhoon or CORSAIR SP120(probably because I can change ring color on red or white sometimes) or this new SP120L from H100i and probably one or two little white cathode 6" or 8", one between PSU and side panel and one behind H100 radiator.
It will be one of best looking PC in mid class with some excellent components.

black/red is excellent but black/red/white is even better and not so usual like only black/red or black/white.
And I will use black/white SATA III cables from CH4F package, better is round from Z77 FTW package but I need with white details, it will be visibly because one graphic.

I had a chance to slap on the new cooler so I could overclock my Phenom 920. However this heatsink was so big it didn't fit in my Thermaltake V3 case, so I pulled out this Ol' bench table that I bought from bogmali years ago (never used it till now . I performed a small oc of 3.10ghz w/stock voltage and got her up and crunching @95% 24/7.

Here is my old PC

Yeah, you nailed it. Good eye! Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of my brother's rig, but next time I'm at his place, I'll be sure to take a few pictures.

It's actually an H100 I have in there but you are right, they are very good coolers.

I've played around with the overclocking and got 4.6 GHz so far. Going at 25C on idle and 65C full load on Prime95, so I'm pretty happy with it

I am sure top mount psu case are still popular, but I personally have not seen any in ages. In my opinion the bottom mount with psu intake entering from underneath the case is more efficient then the opposite solution.

the case I use is very good to keep the top mount psu cooled as it has an open vent manufactured for water, but the psu sucks in the cool air from the top expelling at r3ear. also the bottom mount id build the same in my case I would use bottom mount, but was running three way sli on rampage II board and the PCI-Ex slots were shifted down for this board by one slot each to make room for the sound card that comes with rampage II which used a PCI-Ex x1 slot on the top. an ideal case for this board I found would have been a ten slot case by lian Li or Tt Xaser VI, but I ended up changing the board plus with the top air vent I have no probs

In a low-noise low-airflow setup, a PSU helping out with airflow should work best when mounted on top though

was my situation with my last case ( enemrax phoenix neo) with only front and rear fan because the side monsterfan was too big for my cpu cooler but i prefer from now on botto mounted psu + cable management so my fractal design arc midi is great xd.

Oh well that is cool! I never thought about flipping the psu to intake from cases with top ventilated holes. Great idea!

Yes, your right when it comes to low-noise profiles, thank you for enlightening me.
