[jewie27]

Nice pussy, cat.

[SBaral2009]

ma boi...you and your cat, you guys look alike

[MaxEmbregts]

i got haf x to with gtx 580 , sabertooth x58 and i7 950

[FedoraFTW]

cable management is horrible, makes a waste of the HAF X

[FoxeoVideos]

@FedoraFTW Do you mean the case itself or my particular setup? In my setup I have only one cord visible and that's because it's not long enough to loop it around back. Other than that, all over cords are hidden behind the baseplate for the motherboard. It's actually really great, especially since they included a plastic piece to cover all of the cords coming off of the power supply on the bottom. I love it, and it's great cable management for me.

[FedoraFTW]

@FoxeoVideos oh alright, in the vid you can see cords everywhere. i plan on buying this case

[FoxeoVideos]

@FedoraFTW Really? I'm not sure how you can see "cords everywhere" since they are all behind the motherboard base plate and hidden. The only visible cord to the front is the one power cable to the motherboard. Other than that, the only thing you can see is the very beginning of the cord as it is threaded into the back, but that's how it works with any case.

[FedoraFTW]

@FoxeoVideos at 1:02 i see cords, it's all good tho.

i have an antec 902 but i am upgrading to this case, im stoked

[OpiumWarz]

@FoxeoVideos couldn't you have route you cord behind your mobo itself? or didn't you use standoffs?

[TheOneAndOnlygab195]

Personally, I don't like the HAF X. I've never owned one ,and no offense to anyone who's bought it, but it's just ugly. The HF 922 looks better and it's practically $100 less. In my cases I like a clean look, not a bunch of pieces of plastic sprouting off of it to make it look "muscular". In my opinion the NZXT Phantom is just plain beautiful.

[FoxeoVideos]

@TheOneAndOnlygab195 This case is definitely designed to look like a piece of equipment that you might see in a movie, with some utilitarian features. It's designed to look "buff and tough" and I like it, but not everyone will. The aesthetic aspect of the case is the least important, IMO, but I still enjoy a good look. While the NZXT Phantom looks sleek and smooth, I find it somewhat barren and bland looking.

To each his own when it comes to aesthetics, for sure!

[TheOneAndOnlygab195]

@FoxeoVideos Geez, I didn't notice how offensive and negative my comment was haha. Let me rephrase: The Haf X is good looking, no doubt it's bad ass, but I think its not the best. I think the Phantom looks better. There that sounds a lot nicer haha.

[FoxeoVideos]

@TheOneAndOnlygab195 I wasn't offended, I just like to follow up on comments.

[ArniieeCDJ]

THat case is fucking dreadfull.

[unknownwrestler]

Meg: give it to me

Neil:what,s that

Meg:give it to me Neil

Tape Recorder: give it to me Neil give it to me

Niel: yeah that will work just fine

[SVTFilms]

GPU bottleneck much?

[FoxeoVideos]

@SVTFilms Pure power isn't my goal. I want a machine within a decent price range that meets me where I need to be met. I can jack up the settings on pretty much any game I play to Ultra High, or at least High, and that's plenty for me. I have never made it my goal to have the most powerful machine. This rig works with and renders HD video very well, and it plays games as well as I want it to...

[Pr0jectRAiN]

i just watched this for the cat

[Clarensee]

Why is this case even good?

[trifire6970]

I'm loving the build and the videos! Specially hackintosh tutorials!!!! Come by my channel when you have free time and pls subscribe if that's ok...that'll be much helpful! Thank youuuu and take care at Japannnnn

[WhiterDeath]

Press 9...

Nice build man :)



[nikanj]

KItty!

[EasttSideCustomZ]

[nuthenry2]

cat!!!!

[matt56037]

Garageband?

[Cursecut3r]

Kitteh :D

[trentborchard]

DUDE UR SIDE FAN??????????? hes gonna suficate

[FoxeoVideos]

@trentborchard I've run extensive 30+ minute stress tests on my machine, and I've never been able to push the temps even into the "yellow" zone, as I call it. I'll have to wait until the summer to see if it's possible to push it hotter.

[XmortdreadX]

@trentborchard for a 200mm fan a little more room than your pinkey in all directions should be enough to keep it flowing nice

on another note

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GET A BAD ASS CASE IF YOURSTUFFING IT IN A CORNER

[FoxeoVideos]

@XmortdreadX That's just the way it happened. I'd love to get this machine more out in the open, but my small one-bedroom condo just doesn't have the space for it.

[XmortdreadX]

@FoxeoVideos damn, that sucks, pretty nice computer though

[7lightsaber69]

@XmortdreadX mine is in a corner what's wrong with that

[XmortdreadX]

@7lightsaber69 whats the point of a bad ass case, if no one will ever see it

[asus3571]

ah bro give that chip some luv and get a good cooler what temps u gettin at 3.3 with the stock cooler

[MicroTerminator]

like the desktop background.

[Baugher117]

Cute Cat

[TheDJGabizz]

It is waste buying a 950. Get a 920, and overclock it :)

[asus3571]

what kind of overclock are u getting with that chip

[FoxeoVideos]

@asus3571 I'm not overclocking it much, just pushing it to about 3.3ghz

[asus3571]

@FoxeoVideos yea thats a safe overclock u can keep ur mem at stock multi's what kinda n/b temps do u get with that board

[1966caprice]

Im building the exact same rig

[Trun187]

intel stock coolers are known for locking up and running low RPMS after few months. has happened to me with at least 3 processors. either way ill never use stock fans again

[GamingXenia]

you look like doctor evil being all smug with your haf x case and your cat. jk :)

[craig20vt]

check out a film called 40 year old virgin, ull love it

[FoxeoVideos]

@craig20vt I've heard of it. I watch almost all movies with my wife, and I don't think she'd be interested in that one.

[craig20vt]

@FoxeoVideos haha nice one man, love the way you came back with a witty comment rarther than just f**k you maaan or something feeble, got a coolermaster storm case myself, thought that was pretty big till i saw your haf

[mathias921]

@FoxeoVideos

You pwned him dude, great build!

[alle71]

@FoxeoVideos haha he got pwned

[TakeYouToSchool]

@craig20vt

annihilated 

[darkrobroy14]

@craig20vt LMAO priceless ... I bet his wife is fat

[FoxeoVideos]

@darkrobroy14 Not at all. I have a beautiful wife, and I'm lucky to have found her. We both value exercise and (generally) healthy eating habits. Being overweight is a huge burden on a person's body, and causes quality of life issues.

[johnchristian0131]

@FoxeoVideos May i rape your wife?

[pigeonpsycho]

@johnchristian0131 LOL

[gsdsl]

@craig20vt I bet his schedule and lifestyle is way more productive and on point than yours.Your probably some insecure broke POS that still smooches off mommy because your too impotent to support yourself and on top of that your schedule is so off track like WTF,you can't even time eating your breakfast,lunch,and dinner at a certain time.How about that?Scum of society and not one benefit to our nation.All you know how to do it talk shit behind a computer and probably masturbates to bestiality.

[craig20vt]

@gsdsl dude the conversation came and passed a month ago

[FoxeoVideos]

@craig20vt I've been pretty busy, haven't had a chance to keep up with my YouTube accounts. As you can see!

[COMPOWERPC]

I definitely recommend the Corsair H70 or H50! Cools very well and stays around 35-39c under load on my intel i7-950, not to mention it cleans up your case clutter and is totally quiet.

[gerardbiteme]

please tell me you've changed over to an after market cooler now instead of the stock intel one?

[KingDragon92]

nice. i thought it was a bad idea to sit your computer on your carpet. im still tryin to find a desk with plenty of airspace and hold my HAF X off my carpet. if you got any info please help

[MERCENARYVII]

im thinking of building a new computer build to replace my 775 pc

new system

Asus Sabertooth x58,

Intel Core i7 950,

CoolIT Eco A.L.C. 240mm Radiator CPU Watercooler, Corsair Dominator 6GB, GeForce GTX 570

2x Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA3

what do you think ????

[COMPOWERPC]

@MERCENARYVII NICE!............Got that system for around $900.00 and it is a MONSTER!

[acogscopepwn]

are they going to replace the lga 1366 with sandy bridge or are they going to replace the lga 1156

[pointblack1000]

nice rig but please , change your heatsink .

i don´t like the stock coolers ^^

[FoxeoVideos]

@pointblack1000 A lot of people don't like the stock cooler, but I'm not sure why. Is it an aesthetic thing? I monitor my computer's temperatures and it's running nice and cool even under load (during an intense 3D game). Why would I spend money on an expensive CPU heatsink/fan when the one I've got works perfectly?

[pointblack1000]

@FoxeoVideos the thing is, with the haf x you have lots of space.

and a big nice led cooler would make your nice rig look even better :)

[bganightfire]

@pointblack1000 hes not going to overclock so no point lols. most people like to get sweet heatsinks but only because ither there going to overclock or there intel fan does not work no more.

[pointblack1000]

@bganightfire i agree, but a new cpu cooler is not a big deal ^^.

you can get good coolers for under 60 bucks. and btw the stock

cooler seems pretty noisy to me.

[bganightfire]

@pointblack1000 stock intel fans are not even noisy there mad quiet but then agian im not sure what one your talking about for stock i know the core 2 duo and up all are quiet unless your overclocking then i can see why. but they do get noisy if you overclock (same with high end fan cpu fans) but i get your idea on what you mean.

im not sure what your room temp is but mine is 27-29C so thats maby why my pc's stock intel fan was not noisy :S.

[bganightfire]

@pointblack1000 but only thing i hate just as much as the next person when it comes to intel fans.. there ugly lols.

[pointblack1000]

@bganightfire :D yes they are.

[Cyberbronco]

You remind me of Dr. Evil with your kitty. Cool build. I am doing a similar one this weekend with the Corsair 600T. I love the Corsair 600 T but I will need to get a side panel fan as the graphics card needs more cooling.

[TehNevs]

I have almost an identical build that I got this month, with 6gb of corsair dominator ram and the Haf 932, which is the size under the HAF X, I dont think I'll ever need another type of case again as long as coolermaster keeps making this type of case, its the best case I've ever seen and has perfect airflow, at full load my PC doesnt even let off any heat.

[viana10rodrigues]

This kit is good for my motherboard.

Patriot PV7312G1600ELK Memória Patriot Viper II Sector 7 Edition 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

and in the future if I buy another kit like this will have 24GB, maximum capacity of the mainboard?

[viana10rodrigues]

I would like a suggestion.

What is memory (or kit) install on my Asus motherboard x58 Sabertooth, reasoning processes i7 950.

I want to go installing gradually, in the future (2 or 3 years) to achieve maximum memory capacity of my Asus motherboard for x58 Sabertooth 24G.The montherboard comes with Double Date Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.

[LogiForce86]

That's what I wanna get soon! :P

[You2TheWorld]

hey nice build check out mine

[megamindstorm101]

you really love that case :P I was considering it, and then considering the azza hurrican 2000, and then I ended up going with the armor a90 because I didnt want to spend so much money and the a90 is really awesome. :) i love the look and the blue/black.

[wrathattack]

hey man, we got a similar build. You should check out my new PC video.

[rock962000]

Nice 007 James Bond music.

[shaun2312]

Are you still running your hackintosh on your new build?

[FoxeoVideos]

@shaun2312 Trying to get it up and running, but for some reason it cannot recognize my HDDs. I've tried everything I can think of, but still no luck. Gonna post a vid and see if anyone has a suggestion.

[COMPOWERPC]

@FoxeoVideos I had same prob with the Sabertooth....3 drives. (only recognized my primary) Once I installed Win 7 I had to power off and switch the drives to different ports....rebooted and wah-lah. Hope this works for ya!

[littleguy6741]

wow that case is a monster!!! your right dude i am jealous of that
