wire management NIGHTMARE!!! HELP!!!

[anime_dude07]

okay so basically running the cable where I have it is bad, right? and basically ANYTHING I can do to change this is appropriate? even to the point of drilling a hole in my brand new case?

and another question... I need help w/ a new L.C.S. what brand would you recomend? I already have a suggestion from b1gapl, he says to get it from petrastechshop.com. I need some other suggestions, and also anything else I should get for OCing my Intel...

But anyway, if you know how to use a jigsaw, you can cut some holes in the motherboard tray like I did, so you can route some wires through.

okay... thanks for the help. I will try to find my camera so that I can put up pics of my new rig (once I get that sweet new graphics card in my sig in green) and my very first build and let you all critique it for me...

but I still need suggestions on the liquid cooling system to replace the thermaltake in my sig.

I installed 2 120's and took out my 3x 80s and it was actually a lot quieter. Not sure why.... but they just were nearly silent in comparison.

For some reason, 120 mm fans tend to run quieter than 80 mm fans in general, I think it has something to do with the angle of the blades, because they're angled differently between the 2 sizes.

larger blades, therefore can push more air, therefore don't need as high speed

But even at high speeds they are very quite. I believe it has something to do with the larger blade size and spacing that actually result in less turbulence or audible buzz. I should ask my professors if there's any truth in that. It seems probable.

What case do you have Apokalipse? Looks like a Lian-Li.

Also, just to make my curiosity happy, comp specs too?

No, he's right. It's just that they have larger blades so they don't need to spin as fast.

Turn a 120mm fan as fast as an 80mm fan and trust me, it's going to sound like a vacuum cleaner.
