Is this enough cooling for this machine?

NDX_WARLORD · Jan 18, 2006

Feel free to have a look, there's 12 fans in total including CPU and Video card and PSU.

What should I do? Get wireless connections for my mobo?

Zip tie, cut and solder, tuck behind the motherboard...anything goes as long as it gets out of the way.

gonna say the wires again but maybye if u could get them behind your mobo? or some how make them aerodynamic lol

darksparkz · Jan 18, 2006

Definitely try to fix up the wires, their hindering intake air from the front of your case.

BokiOverclocker · Jan 18, 2006

well according your pictures you are running ~26c=79F and that is good.
as above said ^*wires are killing your performance and look of your PC*

BTW nice looking rig with little work it will shine

Your cooling looks like it should work well for you. Now for a little wire management and a better CPU HSF setup.

Is that behind ur mobo?

NDX_WARLORD · Jan 22, 2006

Alright I rewired everything to the back and ever since I did that my SATA drive seems to have suffered a file structure smack to the face. I checked it with a Seagate diagnostic tool and it told me there's errors with the file structure and I am unable to boot from it, I'm booting from my Samsung currently. I'm not sure how to fix it since the tool only tells u if there's errors, doesn't fix them -_- I'm currently backing up my SATA drive onto my Samsung drive and preparing to format the SATA. Before this long and tedious task is complete, maybe you guys have some suggestions to save me? I'd greatly appreciate the help ASAP

Thanks.

Safe mode possible? Then system restore?

Also nice Pics with or without wire tangle

NDX_WARLORD · Jan 22, 2006

It turned out that I plugged the SATA drive into the wrong SATA plugs on the mobo =\ I think they were SATA 2? or something (Red) and the working ones are black and rounded ones.

Anyway it's a lesson well learned and a terrible waste of time

NDX_WARLORD · Jan 22, 2006

I just added a picture of my wires at the back to http://www.angelfire.com/crazy/overclocker/index.html have a look

Also I removed the extra PCI cards at the bottom

It decreased my temperatuure SIGNIFICANTLY, around 10c lower =O I'm shocked.
