Computer Setup

Why replace the side panel if it is going to be stuck in a compartment like that?

Because I replaced the panel a couple months ago and got the desk more recently

Makes sense. How is that desk? I think I may have had the same desk at my old house and it wasn't that bad actually.

Its great so far. I got this one because it was actually made of wood and would last a long time. Compared to the other composite desks out there. Plus for 40 bucks you cant go wrong.

Congrats on the house and the new gaming setup! My only thought is do you have a vent in the cabinet behind your case or something to help with the airflow? Either than that looks pretty good!

That was a worry of mine as well. The back is open and the main vents are on top and in the back. So far my temps are very good and I haven't noticed that much of an increase!

I just ordered my GTX 770 yesterday... can't wait for it to get here! Iooking over your specs, I realized that we have pretty similar systems, do you have your SSDs in a RAID0?

I don't. I don't know much about RAID but I was thinking about if I should look into that. I only use my ssds for my os and battlefield 4

Recently picked up one more 120Gb for video recording and one 250Gb for games, love it :)

That keyboard is lookin mighty dirty.

Definitely. It hasn't been cleaned since I got it 6 months ago :-/

I'm curious about your H55 setup, I've got the H80i in the same spot but with 2 fans in a push pull config. I've been considering moving down to one fan pulling in air. How are the temps? Great setup i just recently got the EVGA 770 ACX and its an awesome card.

I have mine set up to suck air through the radiator and out of the case. My temps are great being in the 40s under load. Then low 30s at idle. My GPU gets a little hotter at 80c under full load. But I've heard the blower style gets a bit hotter than the acx fans. I don't mind though as 80c isn't dangerous for the gpu and I prefer the blower style anyways.

Oh gosh, please, clean that keyboard!
