Hi all
Some superb builds on here , gonna share some pics of my new build
comments welcome of course

 

some more

 

all those 90degres, isnt that making the flow slow down ?

 

haha , everyone says that , it really doesnt affect it , the D5 pumps are so bloody powerful , when I pictured how i wanted it I was unsure myself how the flow would be and wondered if I might need another pump but its working really well and temps are great and also super quiet.

 

Looks good, but where are all these random one-post-user crazy rigs coming from all of a sudden?

 

Trying to win rig of the month no doubt and who can blame them.

 

True. They do look a damn sight nicer than my rig does atm

 

Does it matter which way you face the fan on a bottom mounted PSU? I've noticed most cases have vents on the bottom where the PSU is meant to be mounted, yet I've seen many people mount their PSU with the fan blowing up towards the expansion slots (mostly video cards).

 

PSU fans almost always suck in. It's better to have them sucking in from the bottom through those vents than from the air in the case, otherwise your feeding hot air to your PSU.

 

Ah so is that the reason why people these days prefer a case with bottom mounted PSU's?

 

That and less hassle with having spare cables dangling down from above, though TBH if you have any sense you buy a modular PSU anyway.

 

new partes:banana:

 

also putting the psu upside down is to suck in less dust, that's my reason tbh
