    Core X5 Thermaltake

    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.

    Core X5 Thermaltake

    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.

    Core X5 Thermaltake

    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...

    Core X5 Thermaltake

    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...

    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...

    Out of the loop. No pun intended

    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...

    Out of the loop. No pun intended

    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...
