Sorry its just I never actually took the time to organize them this much! I ran the wires through a hole in the case and behind the metal plate. So most of the wires that are connected to the board are running through the back
It's a wonder that Zalman didn't cut the sata cables. Wait a tick. Your Zalman is backward? Drawing air from the back? The fan side should be facing the front of the case, pulling air into the rear exhaust.
It was facing like that, not anymore because I had another fan before which would suck through the bottom and exit out the front I found out the Zalman was the other way around. It isn't like that anymore so you can take your post about me being noob since ther are fans that suck air front different directions.
So please a little respect (Conumdrum)
Look at the first picture from the After pix and see for yourself the fan isn't pointing the wrong way anymore.
P.s
I had the Cooler Master Turbine Eclipse which draws air fron the bottom and shoots out of the fan

Just saying your a noob at cable management. Spend a while at the links I posted and see what more than a few zip ties will do. You might think it's great. I've seen better and done better. And I wasn't looking at the CPU HS, I was looking at the wires.
Try google for things like 'computer case wire management'?
Aha! Man, I coulda done this....and this.... etc etc.

I did use zip tags I can't hide the main power cable and the other cables are too short to put through the computer's back...this was the best I could get out of the organisation. If there is something you can do plz enlighten me because I was limited to what you see....
as for seeing a difference. maybe the picks are really bad but I had all the wires coming over the card and over and under...so now I have alot more room and no abstraction of the fans. Cpu dropped from 45-49 to about 32-35. Mb went from 38 to 32-33. so I'm happy with the results
but if you see something wrong tell me what you think...I dont need sites to learn from lol tell me your opinion.
thank you lol it took a long time because I didn't want wires to stretch and become a hazard plus I need more room ahah. I might get a capture card and if I have cash this summer another PSU

Hell I have my computer under my desk and the window faces toward the wall so when I look down all I see is a smooth aluminum case. I suck at cable management but I kinda like all those wires. It makes the computer look much more interesting. If I show it to family or friends who know nothing about computers and they see all those wires etc. they are really impressed.
Hehe. Good first attempt at your build. I would recommend tiestraps for next time as they can help tidy the wires a little better. It can take quite a few times to get the hang of wiring your system. Many of the forum members here have been building systems for years, and or have worked for a system builder so they are a bit "Snooty" when it comes to wiring their systems. This is because it comes naturally to them because they have done so many times(and some are just perfectionists). Very good first attempt (after your second correction), and keep at it! I have attached some picsof my rig for your review (nothing special).
It also takes the right case, matched with the right motherboard connector placement sometimes to achieve perfect "neatness".
Good luck with your next build!

When I show the inside of any of my rigs to my friends or family, they are also very impressed (and it's not messy) . Generally people that know nothing about computers are just fascinated by all of the chips, and lights.. and just to see the inside of a computer. I find it's easier to explain what certain things are when I don't have to move wires out of the way.
Okay, someone posted a better wire management pic. Bet you learned already. Those urls I posted have hundreds of wire management pics, build threads, all sorts of things. IF you want to do your own thing fine. Stay in the dark and refuse to learn and expand your horizon..... Have a nice day. Still a 2 on a scale of 10, the other poster gets an 8. Bet he is a member of those other places or has heard of them.....

Yea, I'm a hard butt. Sorry. But so many have seen more. become one where you see what you can do. Glad your temps are better, thats a big accomplishment. And thats the best part. But try these other places to see what you could do. And never forget the ultimate mod ever. The DOOM case mod. Be amazed.

Ahhh I think I see some dust on your sound card there. Better get out the old dust buster.
