Running the system only with one cabinet/chassis fan??
Add at least another.

@ ilikecool1 - congrats and change the cabby name ( edit your post ) from Corsair 431 to CoolerMaster Elite 431.

Nope .. a "normal" user/member should get the chance to edit his/her post .

^^ it's so far the best cable management I've seen s far in a CM Elite 430 - looks neat

^^ I second that..Its amazing..Having a beast of a config. but still such a clean management.I have got my inspiration now.Will start work on it soon.
Thnx

2 different rigs...

wow!!! That too with a TX750. I want to see the management on the other side of the case now.

Contrary to what review site has said about CM Elite 430 - heplayer has proved with the cable management that Where There's a Will There's a Way

Use the space behind the hard disk trays to hide the wires.
good luck

Unfortunately forget to take photos before closing the back of the case, but I'm waiting for an Asus HD7970 when install will take pictures of that side.

Nice ! Cable management. Unfortunately, my PSU cables are short but still your cabinet looks amazing. Reviewers should definitely see it and change their opinions.

 

[rouble]

@heplayer Thnx dude!! Will do it soon.

saved the image - I'll try to do something like that next time I open up my cabby ( did this couple of days before ) but with 8 fans ( sans 2 cpu cooler fans ) installed this might be a bit tricky

Hi everyone, I have a question:

I recently bought a pre-built desktop. I usually get 40-45*C when idle, and around 55-70*C when playing games like Skyrim or Crysis 2. Is it normal?

CPU: AMD FX-4100 Quadcore 3.6Ghz

Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 Midi Tower black, 1X 120mm fan, Blue LEDs

Motherboard: M5A78L- M LX V2

GPU: Sapphire radeon 6870

RAM: 4GB 1333 Mhz

OS: Windows 7 home premium service pack 1

Power supply: Silver Power SP-SS500 500W

Should I get a Hyper 212 Evo? Can it fit in there? Heres my case:
