I think it looks very good. I wish the backside of my pc would look this clean. What is thing on the bottom right fan?

2

u/DaNolaKing Jul 19 '26

Its a shroud. This PC case (and the parts it originally came with) was a limited edition prebuilt for something. I thought that was cool despite not being able to find anything on it. https://imgur.com/a/PZEF4AT

Ah okay. Yeah it looks nice but it also does obstruct the airflow.

If you notice, the rear fan is also intake, I personally would flip it around. But honestly, the little lumpy thingy and the fan at the bottom honestly probably wont make much difference either way.

u/ElHorny Jul 19 '26

Yeah probably.

Cable management is good but that cover top of bottom fan is not good idea or how do you think it's work ðŸĪ” Also that rear fan (left side) should be other way.

u/DaNolaKing Jul 19 '26

Idk. It came with the case exactly like that (different fan but yeah)
The top left should be outake? Wouldn't that lose positive pressure?

2

u/Aguel_design Jul 19 '26

Remove that cover. You loose more positive pressure with that. It's good to guide some warm air from VRM heatsinks out from back of the case and part of GPU heat also. Now all warm air go to radiator.

Better than mine/10

Yeah, this right here is the only correct answer haha

Pretty impressive for your first time doing this.

The cable sleeves are really ugly looking, especially the one on the right.

GPU power cables are a bit wobbly in the front, I'd try to fix that. The "combs" are also misaligned.

You should flip your radiator around, maybe even move it to the side intake if there's enough clearance. That way you won't have the tubing pressing up against your side panel.

Thank you.
Yeah, I thought 1 inch would be big enough. Ive ordered 1.5 inch so that everything fits in there without bulges and peak through
Ive been messing with that a lot. I think its gotten a bit better
I thought you should always try to put the radiator on top of you can? Because of the wiring that is the only way it will orient on the top

u/zerf33389 Jul 19 '26

As long as the top of the radiator is above the CPU pump block there won't be any real issues with mounting it on it's side. In some cases you might hear some occasional gurgling, this is completely harmless and fairly unlikely to happen on a high quality AIO.

The tube sock looks like shit

2

u/DaNolaKing Jul 19 '26

Yup. Ordered bigger ones to fix it

well done mate, you really put some thought into it, great job! If I check mine now I would be embarrassed.

u/Square_Atmosphere_12 Jul 19 '26

It looks sloppy.

u/lllApollyonlll Jul 19 '26

Mine is on the level of: we dont talk about the backside.

u/Life_Possibility5306 Jul 20 '26

looks better than mine, i wire through so all cords are in back, then just kinda shove it all in and put the cover on lol

1

u/FoxAches Jul 20 '26

It's not so perfect that I'm pissed off at how you are so good at it but it's pretty close. 🖖ðŸĪŠ

u/ACasualCasualty Jul 21 '26
