Love the case/lighting. How is the overclocking on that board? I am considering getting one.
by BigD6997 (May 13th - 11:30 PM) - Reply
meh the overclocking isnt very good on the motherboard... very easy to do minor overclocks, it doesnt have alot of options... id stay away from it, im going to pick up a DFI LP board dono if i want to go sli or crossfire in the future

Ehh, just some n00b who's jelous... anyways, nice man, and good job at hiding the wires. I heard it's hard to do that in this case.
by xylomn (May 14th - 11:52 AM) - Reply
yeah don't listen to them. same happened to me, great work man. They just jelous and need to grow up a bit.
by BigD6997 (May 14th - 2:48 PM) - Reply
yeah it is pritty hard to hide the wires becasue the come up on the opposite side of the mobo so you cant put everything flat behind the 5 1/2 bay, but yeah i spent some time on it

She is a nice lookin machine there.

Its not "upside down", its BTX form factor instead of ATX, which is basically reversed of normal mobo/case designs. I dont see major advatages, but i may be wrong.
by Azn Tr14dZ (May 14th - 11:16 PM) - Reply
No, it's not BTX, it's still ATX, just upside down. There's a difference in placement of PCI/E cards and such on a BTX.

yeah its soposed to isolate heat sources and cool them seperatly, wich it does a very good job at, except the the grfx card wasnt getting any fresh air, so i put the 2 80mm fans in, im getting almost the same temps as water cooling now!
by Azn Tr14dZ (May 15th - 12:55 AM) - Reply
Yeah! Go BigD! i wish I had the same temps as water cooling but i have a pentium D @3.3 GHZ and it's hot as hell! So, water cooling here I come!
by BigD6997 (May 15th - 1:58 AM) - Reply
yeah water cooling is great, but on my bigwater 745 the pump broke and the resivor cracked.. lol, and they wouldnt replace it cuz they said they dont know if i dropped it or sumthing cuz its "physical" damage

I think it should be named, "the fishtank," cause thats what it looked like until I zoomed in.
