I did a lot of cable management, including smaller sli bridges, sleeves, organization and other things. debating whether to blue sleeve the h100 fan inputs on the crosair water block for the fans. changed to blue fans(mathced compents better), replaced one matrix due to temperature issues. like the way the matrix looked so i kept one

"cable management cable management cable management ! your numbers will go way up! see mine gigabyte black and blue first page and i don't have as much room as you do."

thank you for being polite about it, i did update the top portion of the case with much better cable management. the motherboard cord cant be tucked away unfortantly, but i did alot on the top portion. bottom part still needs work.

it dose take time i know good luck.

kevindb1234 · Aug 13, 2011

they do sell extensions for the 24 pin just for that reason

rfowler30 · Aug 13, 2011

i need an extention for the 8 pin motherboard cord, so i dont have to connect it over the graphics card and motherboard. its too short to loop it from the back. could you post a link if they have em.

side note, gonna order that 8 pin extension cable asap. the h100 liquid cooling system is working great, average temps on idle are 33c while most games play at 54-58c, its really great with sandy bridge cpus when overclocked. amazed at how effecient h100 is, never going back to air cooling again.

kevindb1234 · Aug 14, 2011

my next build is going to water cooled im going to go all the way probably gonna cost a fortune?

DC87 · Aug 22, 2011

wow

its a very good computer... what are the 580s temp in games?

rfowler30 · Aug 23, 2011

the temps for the 580s were redicuously high. had to return one of my gtx 580, exchanged it for an evga gtx 580. temps were still high on the first card. first, i turned up the evga gtx 580 fan to 85%, crysis 2 averaged around 83c after 30 minutes of gameplay. finally got an antec spot fan. lowered my temps for the first gpu as much as 18c while playing crysis 1 series and crysis 2. long story short, if you wanna run two gtx 580s in sli, you gotta get really good cooling for your gpus, fans on the side of your case wont cut it.

side note: took your comments and ratings into HUGE consideration. ordered 2x 8 pin extension cables for the cpu, ordered blue ties to help with organization, bought a lot of blue fans, got antec spot fan for first gpu, returned one matrix and exchanged for an evga. ill upload better pics and MUCH better organization for the computer.

looks like everyone is ordering out tonight. When it comes to those asus mainboard(sabertooth) everyone is getting those like ordering a pizza. So is it a intelligent decision?
