Okay, let me first of state that I blew up my 4770 and I am just using it as a mock up in this little photo shoot.

Now then on to business

Here is my window

And the back

1. I'm not saying your cpu heatsink fan NEEDS to push through the heatsink instead of pull, but without ducting I wouldn't think it's as effective.
2. Those sata cables, while you can't see them from the side window, are screwing up your intake airflow. You need to route those so they're not right in front of your intake fan(s).
3. Most of your pictures are so out of focus I can't tell what the mods are that you made on the case.
4. Soundcard - you're gonna have to explain that one. Are you protecting it from EMI that the rest of the components generate, or are you protecting the rest of the components?
5. Cathode switches - take a look at some aftermarket ones - check performance-pcs.com for cool looking ones, radio shack for cheaper ones. I like the idea, just trying to give you more options.

Just want you to know, I'm not trying to put you down, but I'm about to disassemble my 300 for the third time and bust out the dremel, so looking for more ideas.

Why did you put the hard drives backwards? The SATA cables are right after the fans, blocking some of the intake air.

OmegaAI · May 30, 2009

I did that to my SC because of static and hissing. Afterwards I had none

Also I still have good air flow and my temps haven't gone up at all <.<

error8 · May 30, 2009

The temps haven't gone up, but your SATA cables are blocking the air flow. It's a fact. Put them backwards and conceal the cables in the special place that the Antec 300 has just for cables, that is if you really want to do the cable management thing right.

There is till plenty of air flow so I am good. Besides the guys at Overclock.net said it will do just fine. There is plenty of room for and air the fans in the front only move 74CFM. There is some turbulance caused by the cables but nothing that is really bad. There is a load of negative pressure in this case so I have no reason to worry about it (and those back vents have been removed)

OILFIELDTRASH · May 30, 2009

Why would you want loads of negative pressure?

TridenT · May 30, 2009

Ok, just some advice: FOCUS THE CAMERA.

That's all I can give right now.

Word.

Are you using a phone 2mp camera? Decent digital cameras are cheap as balls these days.

No a 5MP piece of junk and I have only enough to get a new GPU since my 4770 blew up (not from overclock it just stopped working) e_e

Oh, by the way I did my best with those pics. I do not take a lot of pics since I only want to give people and idea of what I have. If you want to complain, do to to my butt because no one is going to listen. I am in college and do not have much money nor do I have the time to do a pro job you guys want. If you want pics that good, come over here to Ohio and do it yourself.

And as for negative pressure:

Positive pressure = turbulence and trapped heat

negative pressure = Heat being pulled and limited turbulence. The more air you get out of your case, the quicker you are getting the heat out. Try having a + pressure case with 2 GTX295s, a Core i7 @ 3.8 (on air with the TRUE) and a Classified. Then tell me if it is bad. There is too much heat for there to even chance letting sit.

Not calling you a liar or anything, but thats a hard sale when everything in your signature sells you as an OC'er.

RallyMaster · Jun 1, 2009

No one cares about your cable management. Go back to your Overclock.net cave where people actually look at shitty photos and judge them.

OmegaAI · Jun 1, 2009

LOL. Sorry you feel that way, but I am here to stay.

You got banned?

OmegaAI · Jun 1, 2009

Nope

I have been at both sites for some time now and people (most newbies anyway) enjoy my help!

1. your HSF is on backwards
2. you need steadier hands or a better camera because those pics are fuzzy as balls

Yes I am an overclocker and the card was flashed with Asus top bios, but the damn thing blew up for some reason and it wasn't that high.... I had it at an 875/850 and things ran fine ten I shut down my PC and went to restart it the next day and the screen was black... D:

I have had the card to 915/1000 but it ran fine and it was only at 1.75v. The max vcore for this card is 2v.... I only ran it like that benching. So I am going to be getting a new GTX260 to replace my old one. Also, the mobo is going bad (which load-line in on the UD3R will damage your mobo if turned on. Well I did that and it has been funky since) so I am replacing both e_e

I do believe we have a prime example of PEBKAC.

OmegaAI · Jun 4, 2009

It worked just fine from the time it came out (which I got it then) to about 2 weeks ago e_e Ever since I had it it acted kind of funky...... Also, there is not need to be rude.

You are joking here, right?

hahahahaaaa...someone misread his card's specs. Probably said something like PCIe x16 (2.0v) and he thought that was the max card voltage.

Max on those is what, 1.3v?

Rifter · Jun 4, 2009

you are insane! period. If you were running your card at that voltage no friggen wonder it blew up. I dont even think the power circuit can provide more than 1.35V and at that you will probably need water to keep it cool. There is no way that thing would run at 2v.

The overvoltage protection should kick in at a much lower value that what he said he was using. It's impossible to have 1.75 V, without desoldering some transistors on the card. Maybe the software ( if he used one ) let him adjust the voltage to 1.75 V, but the real value was much lower. Pretty messy anyway you take it.
