Okay, I got finished... almost. If you check out to the right of the motherboard you can see the big cable mess at the bottom. It looks like I could fabricate a cover. Just a flat piece of metal to screw on and it would hide it all.

Yes it looks like the slots that you remove when you add something to the 5 1/4 bay are such it allows for fans to mount. I think though I will stay with 2x fans in front along with the optical drive. Even though I rarely use it. Some times I still burn audio CD's for my hooptie.

Thanks. I am going to get something to wrap the cables in and see what I can come up with. Cable management has never been my strong suit. :) There isn't any vent in the side panel. The side panel is tempered glass. The side panels they list on Thermaltakes site for the Core x5 replacements...

Hello, I am wondering how other owners dealt with the poor cable management options and which way to have the fans that mount on the side. Currently. I have (2x) 200mm on top blowing out, a 200mm in the front pulling in, and 140 radiator mounted in the rear blowing out and 3 fans on the side...

Oh. Dang, will de-lidding and and replacing the stock TIM on the die with liquid metal stop the blips?

Thanks. Yes, I've messed with a custom curve and the fan doesn't spin up on blips. The silent setting on the Corsair software also works for that too. I just wanted the temp spike blips gone. The spikes aren't as high as the quote in my OP. The max spike has been +8c but I don't think it should...

Thanks I am also an ASUS fan. Ever since way back. Ironically I just swapped to the Gigabyte . I had a 270 TUF Mark 1 in there but the Fan Xpert never worked also the NVME would get crazy hot under the armor. I tried different BIOS versions but still no joy. The temp spike doesn't seem to be...

Hello, I have a couple of questions about the best way to position the case fans as well as Kaby Lake CPU temps and the Corsair H80i v2. I haven't messed with overclocking or customizing since Ivy Bridge and before that, since the BX440 chipset was Intels greatest. Corsair H80i v2 I've...
