Nice setup you hav there . Why dont get SB ?

If changing to SB, i need to change mobo and proc which is quite over my budget . Just the 2 card cost me RM1.8k already

And from what i know SB mobo runs on x8 / x 8 PEG bandwidth when SLi

But I thought sandy bridge uses pcie 3.0 which has twice the bandwidth of 2.0, so if you're running at x8, it's the same as running x16 in x58 .

PCI-E 3.0? You sure about that? As far as i know all P67 chipset still using PCI-E 2.0.

Example as Asus P8P67 and Asus Maximus 4 Extreme also stated they are running PCI-E 2.0 . You think Asus typo on those spec?

The only 3.0 i think of is the Revision 3.0 for fixing the SATA issue

Just assume that I'm wrong . But how about tis

My rig & it's cable management. Not sure if it's ok or not. One thing for sure though, the back cover is sure hard to close after finished with the cable management lol.

Is it alright to bend it like tat?

nice casing, my cable management so messy

Everything is quite nice , just the sata cable which should can be improve more .

Oyaji, the sata port on your board really make your sata cable not nice, others than that is awesome.

what to do, that's the board that I could afford at the time when I want my first desktop (still a noob at that time lol). To upgrade to a better board might not be feasible at the moment.

Actually the sata cable initially already looked nice to me until a friend of mine who's helping me cleaning my rig start to make the cables curly-ish so I had to 'uncurly' it back when I redo my cable management.

Try to bind those sata together with cable ties, might not look so messy

like this cable setup. nice spiral on sata cable..

Alright, just tied the sata cables with cable ties. I think it looked much better now. Thanks bro for the advice.




sata cable-close up.

Looks a lot tidy thn previous . Well done bro . Btw , are cable ties = zip ties ?

thanks bro. yeah, cable ties & zip ties are the same thing.

My ugly case

Why dont spend some time and do better cable management ? For example , I can pretty sure that the 8pin for mobo should can be route behind mobo tray and most the cables such as 4pin molex at hdd tray can be hided as well .

8 pin cpu cable not long enough i think..

Long enough la

ya, my 8pin power connector not long enough to go through the side panel and come back to mobo, force to pass through below gc.
