Joe_Miner 254 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 In reference to my build discussed here. I added my extra USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports to the headers on the Z77 MB and have them going to the back. This gives me 4 additional USB 2.0 ports and 2 additional USB 3.0 ports. Both are working well. Both add-in had plenty of cable to reach the ports and I ended up looping the USB 3.0 cable to the header and using a cable tie to keep it from whipping around in the case. You'll also notice I've installed the additional Segate 3TB's and the WD Green 2TB. Here's a pic of one of the Seagate 3TB with the Lian-Li anti-shock mounts before I plugged it into the HD Cage. You can see the other Seagate 3TB already mounted in the bottom of the cage. All the new stuff in and the case buttoned up again Link to post Share on other sites
pcdoc 114 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 This is an awesome build. Nice job on this. One suggestion, you might want to throw in a nice aftermarket cooler or a Corsair Hxx in lieu of the factory heatsink. May not help but it would look cool through the side window....

timekills 32 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 The H80 just so happens to be on sale at NewEgg this week... EXTRA $6 OFF with promo code EMCNDNB25 (expires 06/14/2012) P.S. link is HSS affiliate link to NewEgg, not directly to Corsair's H80 on the site. I don't know how to link directly to a product on NewEgg using HSS's affiliate linking. Link to post Share on other sites
