Thanks, but I think the cables are fine at this point. I realize it's been ages since I've updated this with anything even though I do have the new collets to finish the cutting and polishing, though it's really loud cutting aluminum and I don't seem to have the motivation. It was nice back in the b...

Hey guys, all is well. I put rubber things between my case and the rear fan and picked up a new Vantec Iceberg 4 Pro, which is technically a VGA cooler but with some modding it can be a great chipset cooler. For now I used two brackets it came with to put the Iceberg CCB-A1C back on. North Bridge is...

Cables look pretty neat in the later pics, but you might wanna try running them flat against the empty section next to your motherboard with some cable ties and anchors rather than bundled in the air... of course without the front fan now, the airflow difference is probably negligible. Hmm, I might...

I tried rotating the North Bridge heatsink but it pressed against the NV Silencer fan. I really like the Scythe so if I wanted to have the High Riser fit properly, would it be a good idea to polish away some of the Scythe a bit? What's a safe temperature for the North Bridge? Mine's 46C with either ...

Nicely done, considering that you don't even have a fan on the Ninja. Well, I may put a fan on it at some point but I was tired of not sitting down at my PC and relaxing to music so I just installed what needed to be and put it back together. The Scythe can be run passively which is the first time ...

Ok, major update. Scythe Ninja and ThermalRight High-Riser received and installed, with a slight hitch, but more on that later.

4:11 AM... am I ever tired... Off to bed after this post. I redid the elastic suspension of my HDDs, though I didn't do a very god job. Picture . I also redid the elastic suspension of my rear fan which I like a lot better and is much more snug. Still missing the rubber grommets between the fan and ...

Just a small update, I just ordered a Scythe Ninja (on sale for $11.40 off the regular price!) and Thermalright HR-05-SLI High Riser from the guys at NCIX (based in BC). I should have the parts next week sometime.

@ WussBoy - I realize how it seems I'm giving my quiet parts all the attention while ignoring the louder ones. I supposose this is both true and false. While I haven't focused on the loud hardware, I was merely being adventurous with elastic suspension of the HDDs and fan and etc. I do find the CPU ...

Remember this? http://jeremy.zxian.org/Screenshots/Small/Fubared.Metal(small).jpg I removed it altogether. It doesn't add structural support and was only there for appearance and allow the drive holder to be screwed in, which I didn't do. I grabbed the same pair of pliers and tore it out in 5 minute...

Why not? Once you rip out the HDD mounts, the extra 5,25" slot, the bottom fan holder, the divider between the compartments and a few other bits and pieces you have a very nice case :wink: Doesn't that design ensure that the cool/warm air from the upper chamber doesn't mix with the cool/warm air fr...

I do need to work on my metal cutting skills. I have a rotary tool and cutting disks but I don't know how to use them really. I mean physically attached the disk to the tool. I've already redone the cables as you can see from previous posts I don't see how the cabling could be improved further. I ca...

I got some metal cutters, foam and elastics tonight. I suspended my HDDs and cut out the rear and front fan grill. I've realized my case no longer suits me. It is overkill. I'm seriously considering and after a recommendation from Nick to get an Antec P150 and a Seasonic PSU. The case and PSU I have...

Nice job. I don't think you need that bottom fan as the PSU likely does a good enough job drawing the warm air from the HDDs at that distance. Perhaps increase that by using a dremmel tool or tin snips to cut away some of the aluminum to widen the space, though to ensure proper airflow you may want ...

that rear 120mm fan has a pesky power wire that cannot be tied back due to its length. Here's what you can do; unscrew the fan and rotate it 90* counter-clockwise to give the power cable some extra length. Then you should be able to tape it or you a cable tie and secure it to the rear of the case a...

Lowering the temperatures, contrary to all the overclocking websites out there, does not help with anything except extreme overclocking. Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you.
