April 10, 201115 yr Author My video card water block is not installed yet, and I havent finished sleeving, but I figured I'd show the build in progress...Ryan,Even though you say you have not finished yet, it looks great with the HAF case, which I am very partial to. Color is great.Kind regards,
April 10, 201115 yr Thank you SpiritFlyer! I did everything myself, like both side windows, paint, even the graphics on the side windows. Ive had that case for a long while, and it's time to replace it with an 800D. Getting all those wires and hoses to fit in there AND look half decent was a task and a half, and I'm still not happy with them. It'll do for now though, especially considering the 1.34GHz overclock!

April 10, 201115 yr Hi guys,I thought I would pitch in with my modest system Before the transformation. A bit cramped a quite hot. And now it has been complet. lot's of space. the front panel connectors really hate me.....they are just impossible. Anyway, it's running 4,2ghz very stable now with low temps (max 70C in a hot room otherwise 65c) Bear in mind I am going to change the GPU cooler and I'll add another HD. So next week I'll pitch in with some FSXmark11 data from my i7Martin Martin DahlerupMy rig contains a random selection of computer parts working in perfect harmony....

April 11, 201115 yr Amazon now sells the White 600T. Can't wait to get this so I can start ordering my other hardware. Here's the link. Corsair 600T Limited Edition
April 14, 201115 yr Hey Ryan nice setup! How do you like the case? I am stuck choosing the Obsidian 650 vs. the Corsair Graphite vs. keeping my old CoolerMaster Stacker EVO. What I like about the Corsair cases are the ease of access to the backplate for the CPU. Also, how well does the H60 work for you?Sorry for not responding earlier, I was out of town for a funeral :(I love the Corsair case! There's sooo much space, and it's perfect for a non-organized cable guy like me. The back of the case makes it nearly impossible to NOT hide your cables lol! In fact you see I connected the video card cables in the front (it's because I was lazy LOL). The hard drive bays are tooless, the only thing I had to screw in was an adpater for my 2.5in SSD drive. They all face backwards so its perfect to hide the cables again. I end up running the fan controller on high and it's actually quieter than low and med RPM for the main fans. The only bad thing was the price - maybe a tad overkill - you're basically paying for convenience.The H60 is so far excellent, I mean I think it is - I get about 62C under OCCT 1 hr load. FSX makes it run about 57, and this is on core #3 using RealTemp. Installation wasn't too bad - I needed my wife to help hold the backplate on the rear of the mobo while I used the thumb screws on the front. Overall I'm impressed with the cooler, frees up space, especially if you have tall ram heatsinks like me | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
