The cables management was a bitch since my PSU has a TON of cables that I never use. But I did my best.
<snip the many pictures>

So tomorrow I will be doing 4Ghz I guess, see if I can stand the noise.. Right now my GPU is being the loudest thing in my rig and I am wondering if I dare to turn down the fan speed, it's running around 80C at load overclocked. Also I managed to cut 3 of my fingers on the h100, woops! I was just curious as to why it was blasting 100% when I booted my computer, any of you guys know if that is on purpose or?

LOOKS REALLY CLEAN!!!

What table is that?
Also, what Protput said. That PSU scares me. =S

**Booteh** · 2012-09-19, 12:43 AM

Hah it's because I cleaned it for stickers and I missed the one obvious one.... But I didn't realize till I had already installed it, I might remove it at some point if I can do it without too much hassle! It's an Energon. Don't hate. It runs great, I've had it for 3+ years now, no problems.

Thanks, I did what I could with the massive overkill of cables and the table is a table I had special made, it was originally made for housing 8 people LANs but now it's just a huge ass work table!

**DeltrusDisc** · 2012-09-19, 12:59 AM

About the Power Supply... never even heard of Energon. x_x

About the table, niiiiice!

**Booteh** · 2012-09-19, 01:05 AM

It's a decent PSU, if I were to buy one today I would probably buy something else, like a Corsair. But back then I didn't earn all that much and my uncle who is a top of the line tech guy recommended me this PSU since he had only had good experiences with it. While not the best it has worked for 3 years, so I don't mind it. I hope it will bring my cpu to 4Ghz though

And I am loving the table right now, I used to hate it, but since I moved around in my appartment it is now really great, allows me to have 2 monitors, a TV and a lot of work space for studies, I suppose you know how much it increases productivity having more than one monitor, let alone 3, it's awesome!

Oh Energon.

Boy am I still haunted by the constant coil whine, when a PSU is 75% cheaper than others on the market you know there's something wrong -.-'

Energon is a really bad PSU.

Not automatically, but it should ring a warning whistle.

**tetrisGOAT** · 2012-09-19, 08:38 AM

Let's remember to keep it slightly on-topic, shall we?

**Drunkenvalley** · 2012-09-19, 09:28 AM

Done enough pictures of other stuff I have. Don't think I ever really took a picture of my headphones. First picture from me here that is also noticeably larger than normal. (Hence posting a thumbnailed link.

Chose to try out a deeper depth of field. :'3

**Konijntjes** · 2012-09-19, 09:43 AM

I also have that headphone i really love it inc a Denon avr 1611 and asus xonar hdav

How do you feel about the Corsair K90 Drunken?
Considering K90 and M90.

Funny. I never had a problem with it, no coil whine no nothing. There are different people behind different versions of the PSU though, so that might be why some of them are bad. But I will stop this from derailing, will probably post something in the future on the overclock! And try to find a way to not make the h100 do 100% startups..

I quite like the keyboard, but I'm finding the keys sometimes gets stuck on repeat for some odd reason.

Known issue. I have the issue and I think Marest has it, as well.

oh damn, another 690 owner added to the club!!

**mercs213** · 2012-09-20, 02:17 AM

Yup

Was thinking about taking the heat-sink off (if it is possible) and applying some Prolimatech PK-3 thermal paste to it. Should I even bother...?

You certainly could and also clean the fins and fans.

Only warning I have though is... GPU heatsinks are a BITCH to put back on, in comparison to a lot of other internal computer hardware work. So be prepared with time and patience on your side.

**mercs213** · 2012-09-20, 02:26 AM

Cool, cool. I've taken off a few GPU heat sinks and cleaned / reapplied paste before and they are a pain. I will find some time to do that tomorrow. Maybe I can find a video in the mean time...

**spaace** · 2012-09-20, 02:29 AM

That thing is huge... case mods sold separately?

**mercs213** · 2012-09-20, 02:37 AM

It fits fine in the HAF 912. If you had the extra hard drive bay installed you have to remove it. Attached is a handle so you don't have to touch the PCB at all. It is a 1k dollar card :P
