Hi guys,
I been poisoned by the bling bling and had decided to take my first step to WC my rig. One reason to make the decision to WC is due to the heat and fans placements of the Corsair 800D. This is a project log of mine which is done up in VR Forum.
Comparing to my previous casing HAF X, Corsair 800D lacks of front intakes which had caused my rig to rise in temperatures. To make matter worst, I am running 7970 Crossfire setup which had increased the temperatures a lot.
So to solve the issues, I had decided to WC my rig. Firstly I would WC my CPU then GFX at a later stage.
