    The above is the only acceptable response.

    Anyway... hello...

    Time to start NC client DL.

    Also, I haven't installed the mobo and GFX drivers that cam in the box(es) yet. Should I bother with them or go straight for the ones online?

    Fine .



    Most of the top cables are coming from the front of the case, USB3, USB2, power, reset, LEd and fan controls. The fans (not the CPU cooler) are not powered off the mobo, but off the case, which takes power from the modex line.

    The unused cables weren't actually a problem, they're tucked away in the drive slot space. One can be seen, the other is just out of shot. The rest are doing something but need to go in all sorts of different directions.

    What fan setting do you usually use? I've got it at 7V but with my GFX card, can I go down to 5V?

    The simple answer is that should be fine. The deeper answer is it depends on your thermals, and what fans are connected to it.
    Your GPU fan can not be connected to it, so don't worry about that. Your CPU fan is probably connected to your motherboard, but double check.

    The best thing I can tell you is devices these days are built with a thermal profile in mind. If temps breach that profile, it will either clock down or power off to prevent permanent damage.

    I run two 120mm closed-loop water coolers (one cpu, one gpu) and an exhaust fan from those leads. Usually, I run at 7v since I can't tell much of a difference between that and 5v. I only take it up to 12v when benchmarking or pushing hardware for another overclock milestone.

    I've seen alot worse. I used to build PC's for a living .

    Lovely looking case. Nothing worse than a case with sharp edges but everything appears to be beveled.
