Swapping to a new case

Spankymcbob1 · May 8, 2014

Hi, I'm getting my new case tomorrow which is the nzxt h440, and I wanted to know if I should wait until I buy my new power supply to swap everything or wait. I will be getting the new power supply on the 20th, I did order an RM 850 series because of the nice flat cables, and the fan that shuts itself off until it gets a heavy load. I also order 4 noctua NF-F12 fans with a h100i rad. Please no advice on components, they will just be ignored. I just would like to know if I should swap everything over as soon as the case comes, or if I should wait 12 days. I am very used to installing hardware.

You say you're used to installing hardware, so it really boils down to whether or not you feel up to doing half the work twice. If your computer is running in it's old case now, I would recommend you simply wait the twelve days until you can set up everything in one shot.

Side note: I've been using a NZXT Phantom for nearly two years on my current build. The cases they make are of fairly good quality. I'm not sure how similar the case you've ordered will be to the one I've been using, but the back allows for fairly easy wire management, and rewiring it for a new PSU wouldn't take very long.

It doesn't matter whatsoever except for what you want to do lol. Do you want your new case setup right away? Then swap everything into it. Just don't tie any cables or do fancy cable management to make the swap easier.

And I know you said no advice, but be very careful with the RM850. They use small, cheap capacitors, and aren't good for stress. So just be careful.
