Flipped the HHDs around in the cage and pulled out the standard 120mm fan in order to route the wires around the front. Now they are all hidden and out of sight. Installed a slim 120mm fan on the outside as an exhaust fan to tidy things up. I'm lovin' it
Special thanks to animal0307 from OCN for coming up with the idea.
MDPC Sleeving kit should be here sometime next week so I can get busy on that psu.
Thanks, and good choice! I have typically used ROG stuff...Crosshair III, Crosshair IV, and most recently a Crosshair V Am3+ in preparation for BD...but the UD5 was my first Gigabyte product. I'm not sure if it's my imagination or what, but the PCB seems thicker on the Giga. I've also found the board to be extremely stable...and the completely neutral, black color just does it for me. I really like it! BTW, the CrosshairV has a really mixed bag of reviews, but I flashed in the lates BIOS right off the bat and I've had zero issues overclocking the Phenom 970 to 4.1 stable on air.Originally Posted by OC Maximus
Didn't scrap it, sold it
Why ask why? Its a great board. Smaller than a full ATX and perfect for my build. Plus, you gotta love them ROG boards with all the bells and whistles.
BTW, I like this build of yours...nice and small and functional. Huge cases have thier place, but your options are so much more limited with those monsters. I don't know if people realize how challenging (and fun) stuffing a smaller case with WC can be...keep up the good work!
