Cooler Master Elite 430/431 Discussion Thread

[mrcool63]

coolermaster is very misleading... how do u expect to place a long card in the pcie slot with hard disks protruding out??? where do the connectors go???

this compared to a gamma... definitely a gamma!!!

@ mukherjee and @topgear thanks!

The price is 2.65k +
Elite 430 without transparent panel costs 2.45k, but I prefer with t side panel.
I will post pic soon, one question: which is the best way to instal PSU? fan facing down or facing up?

I was confused about installing my PSU. But I carefully notice all the posted pic in this thread and decide to instal it fan facing down.

My cable management is real bad.
those red sata cables are looks very ugly I have to change those with black, but I dont have any.

I add top and back 120mm fan for exhaust and one fan side as intake.
but I like to off my side fan and add it as intake in bottom and add another fan to top as intake.

whats your suggestion?

nice pics ....

keep two 120mm fan at top as exhaust.

One side and one bottom fan as intake. One front fan as intake and the rear fan as exhaust.

BTW, where from you purchased those bling bling 120mm fans ( did you purchased them with the cabby ? ) What's the price of those ?

I already mention about my cable management in previous post. ya its bad..

and mulicoloured fans are not CM, they are Amigo. A little noisy with huge flow..better air flow from CM led fans but costs almost half of CM. In kolkata I only found Multicolour.

No, I purchased those fans separately last year for my old cabinet.

Now add those with my new

Thanks topgear for your suggestion.

There is no dust filter in side and specialy bottom. Thats why I dont add any fan there. In my room dust is a great problem.

Can I buy dust filter separately? is it avalable?

 

[mukherjee]

^^Well,actually i wanted the same,but no dealer could tell me abt it.

I think we need to improvise maybe?

 

[topgear]

take a look at this post for how to make a dust filter

^^ now it's looks more neat and clean ! What CPU and gfx card do you have ? Have you noticed any temp improvements in the new cabby compared to the previous one.

BTW, that Faber Castell Multimark 1523 pen is really great

 

[digibrush]

Thanks topgear.

You are very observant man yes faber castell markers are really nice.

I like to compare my temp in april, not now.

My processor is core i3, Dh55tc mobo, 2x2gb corssair ram, Sapphire 5670 gfx card, 160 and 500 gb segate Hdd and 460w CM real power pro.

 

[topgear]

^^ Ok .. thanks for informing.

Damn this cabinet looks awesome. I'm planning to ditch my shitty Mercury Vertex cabinet in favour of it. But , I have a question regarding my current heatsink. This is the one I'm using :

Cooler Master GeminII S Review Page 3 - Specifications & Features - Overclockers Club

Please check the dimensions and let me know the best fan arrangement. That cooler is huge and comes with a 120mm fan mounted on it.

 

[topgear]

^^ it will fit - go ahead and buy the cabby with transparent side and of course and if you can add a led fan onthe top of gemini and show the complete rig pics in here.

^^ Nice and congrats !

 

[digibrush]

congrats for your new system..
and thanks for sharing

I hope zebronics bijli has better cable management....

 

[topgear]

^^ I've used both and I can say that CM430 has better cable management and interior space.

Bijli can be counted as the best VFM cabinet around ~1.2k - it's damn cheap but has good airflow and design !
