Default New Q9550, New XFX4890, cables managed
Traded my 280gtx for a brand new 4890, then bought a q9550. Same old antec 300 lol its kinda cramped but good enough cooling for sure. Hows this cable management. I tried pretty hard. Keep in mind this is COMPLETELY UN MODED. Stock case


BEFORE:




AFTER:

HARD DRIVE and OPTICAL DRIVE CABLES HIDDEN


RESET POWER AND ALL THAT ROUTED BEHIND MOBO

Yeah but it keeps the Q9550 overclocked at 31c idle and 44c gaming load. Cant argue with that

Temps are amazing already i cant warrant removing everything just for a remount. 30c idle and 44c load at 4ghz? ridiculously good cooler. I just wondered if something simple like adding another fan would do anything.
