Performed Mods:
or cooling the 8800GTX: THERMALTAKE CL-G0099 TMG ND5 NVIDIA COOLER AKASA AK-455-5G HI PERFORMANCE THERMAL COMPOUND 5GR W/ SPREADER CARD .......fan controller: AEROCOOL GATEWATCH II BLACK.......fans: AC RYAN ACR-BF8973 BLACKFIRE4 UV LEDFAN 120MM UVBLUE-GREEN / 4X UV LED x2
I removed the bottom HDD cages and installed 2 x A.C.Ryan green-purple fans, and then I installed an fan with a preinstalled thermostat for the airflow output, which shows inflow while running. Then Getting all the controller wires in place was a pain.... I setup 3 fan controllers (2x4 fan wires + 1x1 cpu fan wire) and thats not including all the thermometer wires ...I first used a cable canal (like the ones we use on walls) to hide the cases' cables and then tried to route the others...Left power cables for last. Anyway, what I really hoped for, is finally a reality.... low temperatures all around inside the case.for example e6420@2.13ghz idle temp: 12 C, e6420@3.2ghz (oc) idle temp 18 C, 8800gtx@565/1350/1800 idle temps gpu:55C, mem:42C ................................................................... I was a bit worried about the heat spread inside the case instead of out of the case, when using this cooler ...according to reviews, anyway! But, with all this airflow, I soon found out that this was not a problem. Not with this case! and about 300cfm maximum air intake!and 250 outflow!

actually, after reading a couple of reviews I knew that temps would drop, but I was a bit worried about all the heat flowing inside the case. But I believe that I proved that with the right case the heat does not build.... So for a drop from 68 to 55C on that card, and no heat building up in the case, I am really happy!

as for the wiring...forums.techpowerup.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12670&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1204582476

9/10 from me...

Excellent on everything including the cable management which is a massive factor I take into account. The reason it wasn't a full 10 is due to me being a git an not into large chassis. Apart from that, it's really is an impressive rig.

You must be extremely pleased.

Great stuff!

I ´ve built two rig with the Armor + case...one black and one silver. They both look fantastic.
huge space, cable management features, great air-tunneling.

hexsolutionsNETnice rig! looks like you really thought about the airflow in such a big case.
thank you...

my main problem what the fact that after changing the GTX cooler all the heat generated by the gfx card was pushed into the case... so I had to be careful and create a really good airflow....

From the temp readings I get, it seems that I did a fairly good job!
