are u using modular PSU? if not, u can hide some cables right behind the PSU that side got a small space can hide a cable or two. the rest can cable tie to the back of the casing. u see my previous post in front i managed to do all cables hiden with a non modular psu.
also reverse your hdd tray so you can hide the SATA cables

for the older post

for my rig after channging to modular + other changes:

hmm..dat makes sense man..bt also gotta prevent getting warm air pockets trapped in the midst of doing dat..bt this case abit hard to get positive air pressure leh..

reverse the top fans to become intake causes cpu temp to rise..i've already added another front intake at the dvd drive bay..unless we add a much much stronger fan..

or for my case..
make the cpu heatsink's push pull config a south to north orientation and change the top exhaust closer to the front panel to be intake..so the farther back top exhaust removes the cpu heat and the nearer to front one contributes to the positive air pressure..bt i dunno if dat would trap heat..

K62 casing is big enough, if we will to divided into 2 half by the gpu card and we put the cpu heatsink blow toward the front and back casing, the pressure will create the air to move to the lower part.

We just need to change to a strong the bottom front fan to blow out. plus we 2 air dust filter for the 2 top fans.

1.28v on 4.0 ghz look a bit under voltage loh...

even without oc, most of the i5 core already at 1.30 V
Well, golden chip ma.. so can OC till 4.0ghz and run at 1.280v stable.. lol

And 1.3v is stock voltage right? lol.. If yes.. then different case la... lol

no, every chip has different stock voltage
just like how every chip has different oc headroom
You sure? lol i thought all chips of the same steppings will have the same stock vcore, just that different batches will have different overclocking headroom? o.o

i read from here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/255958-29-core-stock-vcore-voltage
btw my stock voltage is ard 1.28 =_="

I think instead of the chip deciding what's its stock voltage, I think it's the mobo instead? See how kia si the manufacturer is? DFI set my stock voltage (with turbo on) @ 1.32v :s22:

Cos I remember I passed my chip to ionicle88 and he told me my stock voltage was 1.26v when he left it at auto. I was like huh, not 1.32v meh :s13: So I think is the board manufacturer that decides...

To my understanding, the range on the Intel's spec sheet is more like a safe range where it wont damage the chip.

for ur info my chip is same batch as his:)

im able to pass 10cycles of 10IBT high stress with 1.288v
:(
wat was your old batch? mine is L939B763
where did u find this chip?
now my only chance is 760, heard they are quite gd clockers

my chip sux, need 1.424v for 4ghz:s22:

Are you sure need that high or not :s22: How about other stuff? VTT, clock stews, dram/pwm switch frequency etc etc etc? OCing not just about voltage... and rams alot affect alot also, especially on high bclks. Or how about temps that you never monitor? PWM, Northbridge etc etc? Had they reached the breaking point?

Very recently I was still wondering why my chip can't stable even at 1.45v, but it turned out there's nothing got to do with voltage or switch frequency at all or any options in bios at all, it's because my PWM temps hit 112 degree, and 112 degree is the exact breaking point for my DFI as I soon found out afterwards :s22:

Or slightly awhile (last week) back I was discussing with terrence on why my chip refuse to stablise on 3.8ghz, turns out it's not a voltage problem (even though a higher VID seem to help, extended my occt hours from 1h to 6h when I cranked it up to 1.35v), all I did was to lower my dram/pwm switch frequency by 15% and I got it stable 11 hours linpack @ 1.3v.

for ur info my chip is same batch as his:)

im able to pass 10cycles of 10IBT high stress with 1.288v

How about 12 hours of OCCT linpack :) Before I switched to OCCT linpack I was doing 300 rounds of IBT on maximum stress. Somehow I only succeeded once, though a couple of times I get 299/300 passes.
