That white carbon fibre looks really nice. Just wondering why you didn't use the 2 2.5" HDD mounts on the rear of the motherboard rather than have them almost scattered around. I know you have 3 but you could have put the last on int the 5.25 bays or something. Would look alot cleaner and improve the look even more! biggrin.gif

No room, sadly. Barely managed the cables neatly enough. I'm using 2 extensions and 2 sata+data cables, in addition to all the peripherals (total of 3 drives, H100i that needs to be powered with a SATA connector, fan controller that needs to be powered, and the case's own fan controller that also needs to be powered. Making all that neatly routed and fitting was annoying, and I definitely had no room for 2.5" drives after that. But I might put one of the drives up into the top optical drive cage at some point.

By the way, I keep reading people talking about noisy hard drives or "slow" notebook drives... I'm using a 500GB Hitachi Travelstar 7200RPM SATAIII with 32MB cache drive that's smaller than my SSDs, and it's inaudible. So loud larger mechanical drives can certainly be avoided without sacrificing performance.

what do you have your CPU clocked at? i have an ITX rig and currently my 3570K @4.4 is about 76c after 5 minutes of Prime Small FFT. maybe your pump isnt running at max RPM?? I have the same fans and im having no issues with mine. i would check your pump speed and make sure your core clock isnt whats causing the high temps. i would say 4.5Ghz MAX. thumb.gif
