Xigmatek Balder & Thermaltake Element G Unboxing and Install

[derkman127]

my fans don't light up or spin at all. what can be wrong? first it worked but the bios didnt so i sended it back and they fixed it. now the fans don't work. Can be a mistake but where do you connect it or something? and is there only 1 cable 3 pins to connect it?

[SucesorDeJigsaw]

This case comes in a CM V6 GT?

[dembowns]

@SucesorDeJigsaw if you mean will the CM V6 GT fit in this case, then i dont know, i dont know the dimensions, look up the dimensions of the xigmatek balder cooler and then dimensions of the V6 GT, and go from there

@dembowns - This could be a dumb ass question on my part, but I'm a little perplexed by the sideways drive bay, you have to put the drives in a weird way in which the sata cables go out the right side... how much wiggle room is there? I'd be worried about the ends of the cables getting bumped and breaking.

[dembowns]

@WiiClassic2usb all good mate, plenty of room for cables, and if you are still unsure, you can always get 90 degree sata cables, the wire routering holes through the middle of the case next to the motherboard tray, is actually on a slight angle, so it gets you depth behind the hdds

hey guys.. does radeon 6950 2gb edition fit in this case?

[dembowns]

@franzferdinandable i cant answer that because i dont own one, but i do know a 5850 fits perfectly fine with some spare room

[seri267]

just to make sure, does it fit perfectly with the side fan in? because i have that case and i want this cooler

[acogscopepwn]

does the xigmatek balder come with rubber mounts for a second fan?

[narutofanz4]

Question: i am building a custom computer for the first time with help from my friends and i was looking forward to getting this exact case, but i would like to know if this ASUS P7P55D-E Pro LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard would fit inside this case. please respond back i would greatly appreciate it.

[dembowns]

@narutofanz4 if its ATX or mATX form factor it will fit

[narutofanz4]

@dembowns thank you very much!:) i appreciate it

[narutofanz4]

[blakeyon2asd]

how does it mount on an amd board.... front to back...or up and down

[dembowns]

@blakeyon2asd looks like from the user manual, with AM2/K8 its a simple rentention arm and then for AM3 you replace the amd backplate with the balder's and then screw it down through the 775 mounts on the cooler, thats what i could make out anyway

[dembowns]

@blakeyon2asd if you jump onto the xigmatek site you can look up the user manual for it

[TheKuhschubbser]

that sounds nice^^ then ill get it as soon as i get money left lol

[TheKuhschubbser]

does the Balder fits in an Antec Ninehundred ultimate? and hows its cooling? i mean is it nice? or just like standard nothin for Overclocking? cuz im searching a Cheap an nice looking CPU Cooler for just a lil bit of Overclocking and this one seemse to be very nice for this use.

[dembowns]

@TheKuhschubbser i dont know for sure if it'll fit in a 900/902 but its not that huge, so id guess so, i was playing around overclocking the i5 750 under the cooler a few weeks ago, i found the temps to be reasonable for the voltage i was using, a lot better than a stock cooler, and seemed to do better than the corsair h50

@dembowns

Do not forget this case Power LED is defective!

Super Video else! Thank You

[dembowns]

@Excellence2012 the power led works on trents element g, the silly kid just didnt plug it in properly :)

[wigione]

Does that come with thermal paste? Please reply! :)

[dembowns]

@wigione i didnt notice at the time, but i dont think it does, we used Arctic cooling MX2

[RemnantsOfBeauty]

does the side panal fit back on with that big cooler ? or does it not fit?

[dembowns]

@RemnantsOfBeauty fits perfectly fine, no clearence issues at all

[TheAlphaMale316]

Whats wrong with the V9 case?

[dembowns]

@TheAlphaMale316 from what Trent has told me, its cramped and wasnt good for cable management, also his top fan died, i honestly cant say really whats wrong with it, because i hadnt worked with it or owned it, but from what Trent says he didnt like it and was fed up with it, but thats his opinion, im not a big Thermaltake fan so i can be bias

[WestCoastMods]

Nice rig, keep up the good work.

Cheers

LazyMan :-)

[dembowns]

@WestCoastMods i think Trent is very happy with his new case and cooler, already out performing his old Corsair H50
