Switching to a new case

Hello DS Community!

I am about to switch my recently acquired vanquish v1 level 4 build into a new case (thermaltake core v71 so i have more room and this new case looks pretty uber). I have been having some issues with airflow and gpu temps. i am going to use my water loop to cool the system from now on as the h60 included and air cooled gpu is not getting me temps i am comfortable with. I was hoping to get some thoughts about switching cases such as anything commonly overlooked with moving whole setup to a new case or any tips the community may have.

i have noticed when moving parts around a couple very minor things amiss with my DS build like fan cables from h60 fans poorly routed and kinked under the motherboard. (i actually had to cut a fan lead and replace it :()

Do i need to do anything special with backing up the MB settings to save the overclock applied and tested by DS?

since i am about to have a spare H60 laying around I am thinking of using it to cool the GPU. any thoughts with this? or has anyone done this before?

any comments/warnings/tips anyone has are welcome.

Use a grounding strap while working connected to the case. I generally wipe everything down with an old t-shirt (read lint free cloth ;-)). If you are changing the CPU cooler, you will need to a new thermal interface material. There are plenty of youtube videos for instructions.

Before you start turn off the switch on the back of the power supply. Leave the power supply plugged in while working so that it will provide a ground for the case. So the power supply should be the last thing out of the old case and the first thing in the new case.

As bprat22 says, pay attention to cable routing. I use plastic wire ties (aka zip ties), you can get them at most hardware stores.

meant 10 - 20 on full load. im guessing when the thermal paste fully sets this will either increase or settle or somewhere in the middle.
