Also, for anyone with a DS3 Mobo, how do I short the 2 jumper pins to reset bios?
 
Nice system....to clear the bios....

Unplug the computer, remove the little watch battery from the motherboard, and set the jumper pins from 1-2 to 2-3 for a couple of seconds, then put it back to 1-2, put the battery back in, plug the computer, and turn on the computer.

Try to clean up the wires a bit.
 
Looks awesome, those sleeved cables look great, and the Zalman means serious business. :p Don't you wish they'd come up with SATA connections for Optical Drives too? Then you could get rid of that IDE cable.

Nice case too, good to see how it actually looks (and it looks great).

I don't have a DS3 motherboard, but on most others, there is a jumper that you move over one space to reset the BIOS. Your manual should have information on that.
 
if you use the jumper you dont need to take out the battery, that creates the short, thus acting like you took out the battery because the connection to the battery is no longer there.

taking out the battery works if you dont have the jumper. some older motherboards dont have this jumper so you have to remove the battery. your manual will tell you what to do.

nice build btw, like the case.
 
The manual says to short these 2 pins temporarily that are directly under the PCI-E card. However, I don't know how to "short" them

And yeah, I do need better wire management. :)
 
Is there a jumper covering the two pins? Actually, it should not be covering them, just sitting on a "dud" pin next to the pair, or simply somewhere else in close proximity
 
there will be 3 pins, its connected to 2 of them, move it over 1 set of pins.

..U < make it look like that


like my drawing :) lol hope it helped.

power it up, wait a min, put the pin back the way it was and your cmos is cleared.
 
Excellent drawing. :D Yeah, its exactly how he showed it, although the pins might not be clearly visible, since you're looking at them dead-on.
