Post your "rate my cables" here

murdermod's site says they have been out of stock for quite some time hasn't it? I have checked a few times and they were always out.
 
I guess so, but I buy all my sleeve from mdpc-x anyway. BTW if you're only getting 30-40 meters, the shipping is a very reasonable 11 euro from Germany to US.
 
Here is my new corsair 800d. Should i Sleeve the 8pin and the two 6pins or do they look fine like they are?

not really sleeving or wired related, but why did you put anti-kink coils on the tubing? IMO it looks much better/cleaner without it (to each his/her own i guess)
 
Eh, I wouldn't bother sleeving them. The stock Corsair cables look good, and there's not a big area there, so minor visual impact.
 
Here's my rig. The First one I ever built.

Heres mine ... I'm expecting more sleeving soon to finish up the ugliness in the upper right corner and also mix in some grey and red sleeving in there too ...

go to the international mdpc site instead. use paypal for the conversion. i waited aprox a week and a half for my sleeving to come in.

some people go the easy route...of course you don't get the customization of colors...sata sleeving...or entire psu sleeving.

nzxt is another alternative

the.ronin, that mass along the middle (from the ATX connector I'm assuming) looks pretty bad. Is there no way you can re-route that?

Thanks for the feedback, silent ... I can’t tuck it through or behind the drive bays cos they’re all full. What I think I’ll try is to weave it back through the square hole behind the PSU then out again to the ATX plug. Right now there are bails of wires back there which I planned to clean up hopefully making some space.

What temps are you getting with the megahalems on that overclocked 930?

maxed out at 69c on the hottest core after 20min of prime95 small fft's (heats CPU up most in my experience). I am amazed by the temps to be honest. under 70c at full load with an i7 at 4.2ghz with an air cooler is pretty damn good. ambient temps for the test were about 74f.

here's a screen shot

Run it on Intel Burn Test with full memory if you really wanna see how hot it can get.

i have. prime95 ran about 2c higher.

edit: just ran intel burn test at max.

during

after

i know 3 tests but still ran for a good 10minutes which i think is enough to get load temps settled. i also have quite a bit hotter ambient temps now as well since spring is here in full. my travel alarm is reporting 27.5c (81f) but i think thats a little high so lets say about 78f. i still maxed out at 69c so that was nice.

Added a YateLoon up front and installed a CPU cooler too. Temps dropped 55*f (31*c). Anyways, what do you think of my cable job?

IMG_4401.jpg
 
Re-routed the cable for the rear and front fans, removed the floppy drive panel and moving the dvd-rom drive there, and lastly replaced red sata cable with blue sata cable ;P

Gah and the mess in the back.

You should run most of those sata cables and whatever else you can behind the motherboard tray. It would clean it up in a BIG way. Instead of doing one of these > go straight up in back then wrap around the edge of the tray.

There's too many -- it'd be a royal pain to get 7+ SATA cables under a motherboard and out where they need to go.

Oh I've definitely thought about doing that, but considering this case there isn't much room behind the motherboard tray unless I make some cuts behind it to somehow route them. I'd say there's like 3/4 or less of an inch of clearance behind it in order for me to put the side panel on correctly. Besides, my computer is next to a wall on my desk so I don't see anything. I do hate how my sata ports on my motherboard are situated at the bottom of the motherboard instead of to the side (towards the bottom).

Truth be told, Falcon NW actually did a very good cabling job, BUT their was still alot of room for improvement. I swapped out the fans, sleeved some cables, rearranged some drives and rewired it to my liking.

NO WAY, as much as they perform i wouldnt buy one to save me. Only the paintjob which you is not on that case :confused: ??
 
Yeah, I wouldn't buy a FNW system unless I had money to splurge and absolutely no time to spend building and tweaking my own rig... If you're gonna mess with it why even bother? To each their own though. They're still one of the finer (and original) boutique builders... I will admit I did lust after a FNW during the Pentium II days, ended up buying a Dell and upgrading the heck out of it for 2-3 years. I think I went thru more video cards on that one system than I did in half a dozen years after that. :p
 
The SATA cables are a left over from a build that was all green. They have little clips and connect funny so that it looks like they are not right. I have some white ones on the way
