Cable Management Tips/Screenshots/Ideas
Pic/Info credit to AirBorn:

Routed USB3 under motherboard for safe hiding.

Lets start with the bottom of the case, As you can see the bottom 3 arrows, There is a gap between the psu and the back of the case which allows for one to route excess cables there, (the 4 pin cables).
Secondly in the front of the case at the bottom of the hdd cage there are some gaps that one could route some cables through. I haven't used them for any of the psu cables but i have for the lighting cables.
Thirdly i routed the USB3 cable behind the mobo to hide it.

Otherwise from that all that is left is the 24 pin and the 8 pin pci-e and the 4 pin sata power and sata data and finally the two 4 pin mobo cables. All showed in green and then the sata data cables showed in blue.

Pic/Info credit to Coreda:

Routed the SATA cables into the base hole of the cage, through the SDD bay hole, then up the middle. The power connectors I also routed through the SDD bay in the side by removing one of the side grommets that wasn't being used.

Just need to get a cable tie and hook the main PSU cable to the base of the drive cage.

Pic/Info credit to Rprice06:


Hide unused cable behind PSU, using the indentations from the case to hold the cables in place

If you think we should make notes regarding the cpu coolers we can.

I think for the Noctua NH-C14 it may be worth noting it's large size, especially as it requires one of the top fans to be removed to fit. Certainly not slowing down it's use in builds, though

Isn't much of a build lol.

The beginning along with some refreshments.


Replacing a few fans.


The mess that will be the wiring and yes that is stock cooling for now

I threw something together as a Christmas present for my son. I never even took any photos of the thing completed but after I finished the quick build I have been severely tempted to upgrade this thing a lot.

Good Question, like I had said before... hehe, I'm new to this

I'm really indifferent where this is, but if you guys want I can ask to have it moved to the SFFs forum.

I honestly looked for a few cases and they seemed to be listed in the Computer Cases Forum. (Bitfenix Prodigy was my example for where to list)

Still....welcome. I'm sure your son was very happy! We look forward to seeing more of it. Which heatsink is that btw?

That's completely up to you my friend. I know the TJ-08 is a NICE case. We'd be glad to have you if you make the switch.

Curious.... is this confirmed for every motherboard?

Embarrassed to say it but that's just a stock AMD cooler for right now. Replacing that and giving him my 560 ti 448 core are going to be the first upgrades I do.
Gonna be a little tricky replacing that cooler with how close it is to your DIMM slots and PCI-E. What cooler did you have in mind?

Do to the restrictions I am dealing with and to make this a mostly EVGA build I am thinking of going with the EVGA cooler.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835288003

I am not overclocking this build and the stock cooler seems to be doing fine so the EVGA one should work no problem.

Installed the Noctua U9B SE2 today, had to remove the mobo again just to fit the heatsink and fans on. Everything is very close to each other in this case, so I had to calm myself a number of times

Booted up and boy, what a loud system. Ended up putting the low noise adapter on the Noctuas as they're voltage controlled rather than PWM (why Noctua doesn't use PWM is beyond me). Still is noisy and can't target what is causing the most noise currently - the PSU or the top fans.

Any tips for a more silent build?
 
#22 ·
I have that heat sink, and I used a Sunbeam Rheosmart fan controller to make the fans respond to PWM. I got the PCI slot one, removed the slot plate and taped it to the inside of the case. Make sure the switch is set to PWM and ignore the knob.

My guess is going to be the top fans, but the problem with noise is that everyone's definition of "loud" is different. I don't think this case will ever be considered truly silent - in a quiet room I can hear the PSU fan even at idle. But I certainly wouldn't call it loud. Under load, I don't hear the PSU fan over the other fans in the system.
 
#23 ·
Thanks for the tip, I might look into it
thumb.gif


I think the main thing is an annoying whining frequency, and it could be the PSU. The fans themselves aren't too bad, although far from being completely silent.

Edit: I'm also hearing awful squealing noises from the Hadron's headphone jack. Tried repositioning the HDAUDIO cable but to no avail. Anyone experienced this?

I don't think it would affect the integrity of the case, I'm thinking of doing the same mod as well.
