Hi everyone, I bought most parts of the x99 gaming rig video but I have some trouble with the Cooler Master Silencio and EVGA X99 classified motherboard.
Did they fit OK? I installed the motherboard and I see almost no room for cabling and even the power cable from the PSU may not fit here.
I assume you meant to attach a picture but I do not see one. As for cable routing, if you are having troubles with the cables it might be important to have the 8 pin CPU cable and 24 bin motherboard cable re routed before placing the motherboard in the case. This is a guess though as I cannot see how you have everything set up.
Pictures look fine. The EVGA board is E-ATX and the case is made to accommodate ATX boards w/ cabling.
Just tuck cabling under the board, if you want, or take it around through the space where the hdd cages are. I would take the 24 pin around, as it's such a thick cable and you'll be putting a lot of stress on the connector if you tucked it in.
It doesn't really matter. Using an ATX case with that board just means it hangs over the cable management holes and you can't do 4-way SLI/Crossfire (which is stupid, anyway). Other than that, it's not a problem.
Nice, then I just should dismout the motherboard and try to route that cable... But yeah, I really got scared with the comment as this is the first time I build something like this without help.
How about using additional mounting screws? If you double the spacing would you get the desired clearance? This would, of course, cause issues for the IO panel. I'd be inclined to build the rig outside of the case and opt for a new case or motherboard.
No, the problem was the whole drive area as you can see. Once removed all was fine. I had no plan for blu-ray or something like that so all worked nice.
