[Case Gallery] X58 Rev. 1

I voted 4/10 because:

good

Get a life man. How many accounts do you have now? That makes at least three.

I like how you rate your own computer super high multiple times under different accounts and then rate people who catch onto you poorly multiple times under the same variety of accounts.
 
There were no mods at first.

It is nice hardware tastefully selected and assembled in a pleasing package.

I understand that you think the rating given to my computer by the community here was way too high in your opinion, but please at least give me an honest rating based on artistic and thorough assembly; not a 2. I know it is fruitless to state this, but your role here is to vote on the overall quality of a computer based on your opinion of that system. It isn't your duty to vote very high or very low just to affect the overall score of a computer just because its present score isn't what you would want it to be.

Since I originally posted this system, I did make some mods.

I installed the Corsair H50 instead of the V8 cooler. I made a push-pull setup with the H50 and in order to do so with such a small case and such a large vreg heatsink on the motherboard, I had to make a spacer out of a tupperwear container. You can see it in the pic if you look for it. It isn't a large or difficult mod, but it was a finicky mod and it is a done mod.

Then, I modded 275 backplates to make them fit on my 285s and installed them.

Finally, I volt modded (physical mod) the 285s.


You volt modded on stock coolers!?!? o.O

Yes sir.

I only bumped up the core voltage ~0.1v. The core temperature only went up ~2c under FurMark load.

I have a custom fan profile going so that the fan reaches 100% ~80c. The core temperature doesn't go higher than 82c.
