QUOTE(kueckcinx @ Oct 8 2013, 06:26 PM) same case as u CM Elite 431 Plus lols.. cable management has been headache among all cases that I have ever bought.» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I might go with Phantom 530 with some cable extension. As far I see from review space isn't much issue in both casing as front modular cage can be removed. It's a hundred bucks diff >< This post has been edited by gxthelord: Oct 8 2013, 06:35 PM |

QUOTE(kueckcinx @ Oct 8 2013, 06:44 PM) wow i tot im the only one lol ikr~! such a headache case but oh well u get what u pay for I guess. I'm thinking of 530 cuz one of my mobo pin is needed to be routed from top left of the casing. Aside of that I wanna set up push pull config for my radiator on top. Here's my latest update on my current case. U can see if using push pull config is impossible to mount on top(the Z77 box thingy) is blocking, and if u see closely got one cable beside that box that needed to be routed. For 410 seems to be very tight on top.Cable management sucks in this case. And its pulling my 670 down This post has been edited by gxthelord: Oct 8 2013, 06:51 PM Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE(kueckcinx @ Oct 8 2013, 06:56 PM) i never planned for WC lol.. Just air cooling with Hyper 212 EVO XD lols basicly right as long ur input>output then okay already(positive pressure). I don't think got much difference and not to say much fan the better. I rmb reading in one test they just have one or two exhaust and a input does the well than other config(need find back that link).Btw how many Celsius drop if i swap case? As long got good airflow its sufficient imho. Maybe 1C - 3C temp drop but our country so hot so yeahh Edit: Found one of the linky Tomshardware This post has been edited by gxthelord: Oct 8 2013, 07:13 PM |

QUOTE(kueckcinx @ Oct 10 2013, 11:49 PM) Power supply to DVD Rom cuz according to linustechtips it's hard to use ribbon type sata cables unless extension lol. So probably buy a extension. Btw how much u buy this case? Any add ons? haha the price I bought is 499 from a friend. Can do a tutorial about how u install everything into ah ? So far nvr add anything inside yet, tried to add LED strips but it wasn't that nice. |

QUOTE(kueckcinx @ Oct 11 2013, 12:10 AM) I still wondering how to put hdd and other stuff since it's my 1st time put my cpu into another case haha dun worry laa just be careful and apply force when needed. but I think your new casing don't need much screws cuz mostly are tool-less d. My case also never use until screw except screwing the SSD and PSU only. other don't need screws Refer to user guide |

QUOTE(kueckcinx @ Oct 11 2013, 12:21 AM) Ermm only thing that need screw would be the Mobo I guess, GPU mine came with those thumb screw just can unscrew with hand HDD are tool less just snap in, same goes to DVD room. Nowadays casing are so good unlike last time all casings need screws to screw in every component. |
