No it doesn't. And you really shouldn't be commenting considering how dirty your setup looks, and how unsafe it is.

v2
Starting to come together now, very very nearly finished over this past week. (when i had some spare time). It has taken quite a while atleast the past 2 weeks to get everything just right. Well nearly just need some LED's for the side and one of those EVGA v2 3 way bling bridges.
Plus yeah ignore the wallpaper, had to move the 900D into the spare room due to it being massive and had to mod the desk to fit it on. The thing weighs an absolute tonne. so that wallpaper will be gone soon
.Gpu's idle at the low 20s and maxed out running in the mid to high 30s. So far love the system and with the fans on slow speed it is nice and quiet aswell.

Says the person who doesn't know why they should use a case.. And how is saying someones heatsink looks dirty (when it clearly isn't), being nice?
I did this build for a client to run AutoDesk software (AutoCAD and so on).

The cable management features of the Fractal Design Define R5 are excellent! Firstly there is a lot of room behind the motherboard tray to route cables, especially if you use a power supply with flat cables like the Corsair RM650 which I used. There are Velcro straps that can be used to hold cables in place as well as those white metal plates which can act as cable holders, like above, or you can actually use them to mount your 2.5" drives, like an SSD! Impressive for less than £100! Solid case!

Yes, I know about the static issues but I was careful to ground myself, I wore shoes and I didn't actually put any of the components on the carpet. When I wasn't using them they were either in their boxes or on top of them, so it was fine. I've built plenty of systems like this now and have had no issues. It's not as big a deal as people sometimes make it out to be (and don't forget stuff is fairly tough these too and not too static sensitive).
As for the stock cooler, they're not overclocking and the airflow in the case is good. The budget was pushed enough and I stress tested it for over 12 hours with no issues so it should be fine. If it does end up running hot an aftermarket cooler can always be added later.
I noticed somebody here also did a build in the Define R5 recently and liked it. I noticed it was dead silent too! Really good case and amazing value for less than £100! Would have used the windowed one for the build I did too, but they were out of stock.

Actually I was thinking more about the noise level. I've tried Intel's stock coolers before and they weren't very quiet. Maybe they've improved since I last tried one. How's the one you installed?
Pretty silent but like above I've noticed the R5 is a quiet case! I slept in the same room as the PC for 12 hours with the CPU running at 100% during a Prime95 test.

There was actual dust that compressed air/my mouth couldn't blow off the wings, and I didn't bother taking a rag and cleaning them.
Why are we being mean to Calin for not having a case?

Im actually curious. Is that Corsair fan bolted to anything? Or just hanging there?

It was from before Bitcoins were impossible to mine with GPUs. Had the fan just lying there to provide additional cooling
Tried connecting some bridges and see if it could game. Didn't work so well
PS: Spent about $40 worth (estimated) of power on getting $30-40 worth of coins. Then coins rose to $300 value - and then I send them to an old wallet in a stupid hangover. BB BTC

Maybe this isn;t the thread for it, but how does mining bitcoins work?It was from before Bitcoins were impossible to mine with GPUs. Had the fan just lying there to provide additional cooling
