QUOTE(marfccy @ Apr 8 2013, 11:58 PM) Try route the SATA cables under the motherboard instead of thru the holes And the 8pin power cant be hidden behind?  Try look for extension then 1. I see, im not sure whether its safe for the cable to be route under the motherboard? since you suggest it, so i guess it is, will try it when i i have the time. 2. yeah well, ive tried and it can, the cable is too thick to be route behind the mobo and the spacing is too small. well i manage to tidy it up by carefully route it on top of the mobo and under the graphics. ill snap a picture later when i had a time. thanks!

QUOTE(dlwl @ Apr 9 2013, 02:22 PM) may i know what casing is that? NZXT Vulcan QUOTE(marfccy @ Apr 9 2013, 02:55 PM) As for the SATA, you just have to make sure it doesnt interfere with the board or flexes it. Otherwise its okay to proceed got it, will see later if it could be done

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Apr 11 2013, 09:50 AM) the cabling does seem nicer already, still got room for improvement but good job nonetheless. but I notice your CPU cooler fan is blowing into the chassis from the back?? Thanks! emm, imma bit confuse regarding that myself, looks like it but when i feel the air physically it does blowing out to the back of the case. and i manage to ge temperature oft 35-39 degree on idle, so it is good right? or no @@?

AFTER:   NOTE* Sold of my GC in preparation for 7950 / GTX660 Ti hence the emptiness  ** Total of 4 drive, 2 black Sata 3 cable and 2 red Sata 2 cable, all free cable lol.

QUOTE(Lucassss @ May 20 2013, 11:17 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Bro, your CM 212 layout is fine at the moment but wouldn't it suck the hot air from the GC once you have one installed?  well, didn't think bout it, still the hot air outtake from GC is through the back of the case right, should I add another 80/92mm fan as exhaust? well i guess ill see how much the difference when the GC is on. If the difference is just around below 10 degree then ill just let it be XD currently running temp: idle - 35-39 degree normal usage - 43-55 degree 100% load INTEL Burn test - 70 degree.

QUOTE(Lucassss @ May 20 2013, 03:27 PM) Wow. That's pretty good compared to mine. Back to your rig, hot air rises. I believe it'll be below 10 degrees but still, why compromise? oh well. mostly because of my laziness will change its position when im getting the new card most probably

QUOTE(lucidlts @ Jun 2 2013, 12:55 PM) it's a 300R with Seasonic X660  personally thinks that the strap did better than standard cable tie because of its flexibility. i've seen some custom back routing plates from a forum (corsair 800D) which blown my mind away, totally. [attachmentid=3467512] what the freaking fish dat routing plate yeah i totally digging the strap, since if I failed to route properly can always take it off and use it back XD. *still my back of mobo cable is so mess, i didnt even dare to open the case. no idea how to do it lol This post has been edited by CheaTeRz: Jun 2 2013, 01:06 PM
