/guts/
Post guts, specs, etc. Be sure to h8 and r8.
Pros:
Awesome at video encoding
Cons:
Needs more PSU.
Pro: Plays video games really well
Con: only video game I find fun is gta 5, and even that's starting to get boring
>sometimes I feel I would have been better off with an Xbox and a laptop
pros: does everything I need/want it to do
cons: fallout 4 isn't out yet ;.;
Pros:
Runs cool as ice, makes kids on /g/ sperg out
Cons:
GPUs will need most likely need replacing for VR.
>>50780472
Pros: It can pretty much do anything.
Cons: Loud, case has a big footprint.
Pro's: cool and silent, can watch all my anime at a steady 48fps
Con's: overkill, hardly ever play games anymore. VR and waifu AI probably won't be out for a few more years.
Pros:
Media powerhouse
Kills games at 1080-1440
20+ TB storage
Nice and cool, even overclocked
Generous anime figure capacity
Cons:
Not X99
No room for future upgrades
The fuck do I do with all this RAM?
Have to pray that future GPUs will also be available with white coolers.
>>50780472
Pros:
Good for Photoshop
VMs
Games w/good framerates
Temps
Cons:
Wish I had an IPS monitor
Psu is a little overkill and not modular
Lots of fans=lots of dust, I need to get some filters
Pros: Looks good with no effort
Reasonable spec
Cons: Not high spec enough for me.
>>50780472

>>50782108
9/10 good job /g/
>>50782110

7/10 bit of a mess
>>50783989
9/10 I knocked a point off because weaboo
>>50784077
7/10 It just looks a bit meh
Based purely on looks
>>50784184
I hate this guy.
>>50784298
I love you too /g/
>>50780472
I wish I could build people computers for a living or even for just a part time thing, I'd love it.
Pros: I like it's looks, it's quiet, runs everything
Cons: It needs quality of life upgrades (SSD, better fans, dust protection)
>>50783989
>Not listing 970 SLI as a con
>>50780472
Pros:
Does everything i need flawlessly on two gorgeous 27"1080p IPS LED monitors.
Cons:
Needs a dedicated 4TB for media instead of a 2TB. Won't play new games at max settings.
I hate doing rates out of ten, so I'll just tell you what I think
>>50780472
bit of a weird combination visually, not sure what you were trying to achieve. Otherwise nice, I like the case and cpu cooler especially.
>>50780886
love it, it's almost a perfect in terms of looks. Why not a white cpu cooler like a cryorig h5, though? Also what are you doing for front intake?
>>50782105
i still think you should paint your fan rings, still very nice.
>>50782108
i just love this compact little demon! The only critique I can make is on the colour coordination.
>>50782110
Amazing, I've always loved it.
>>50783569
I don't understand your air flow arrangement or choice of colours. Personally I'd paint the fan rings yellow and set the corsair logo yellow. And put that rad on the exhaust instead.
>>50783989
Looks yummy, very nice work
>>50784077
doesn't have that top-tier feng shui that a lot of other builds here has, still looks like a tough practical build
>>50784102
Major theme clashes here, plus I'm not personally a fan of those cable sleeves.
Pros: - Tiny
- Runs cool despite size b/c AP181 fan
- Preforms well for anything I throw at it
- Looks like a piece of nice stereo equipment rather than ricer-l33t-gaymer shit.
Cons: - Absolute pain in the ass to manage cables, took me 3 complete disassemblies to get it this efficient (although that's partially due to this being my first PC build & inexperience).
- Bought a too-big PSU initially, bought a still-big-but-fits PSU the second time.
- Not friendly to taking apart and making adjustments (nothing is toolless), had to buy thumbscrews for the back just to make getting inside easier.
I love this case but it's been very time consuming... welcome to PC building, I guess.
>>50783989
What fans are on your cpu cooler?
The stock Corsair fans get pretty loud, are those better?
>>50784641
Your build looks awesome!
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qWWCYJ
Ordering the parts soon, what do you guys think. Any suggestions?
>>50784899
- There's no reason not to get Skylake for a new build
- Get Arctic MX-4 instead
- Get a better psu, CX series is mediocre
Pros:
x99
5960x
970ti
24TB raid
64gb ram
Cons:
not SLI
cost
blah blah need cabling
>>50784628
>put it as the exhaust instead
The rad is just too big to be mounted right at the back. It's got a pci grille in the way. I get better temps at the front anyways, and its not like it heats up my card where it is. I'm not sure whats wrong with my airflow though, I went for positive, so the back fan stays off and the top run very low. As for painting the fans yellow, I'd then have to paint the HDD mounts aswell. Plus, I know I'd only end up butchering the job. I like it how it is, but I appreciate hearing what you think. Which guts are yours?
>>50784960
What are your load temps?
>>50784936
Will that cpu cooler be able to keep the i5-6600K cool while overclocking?
>>50785027
Yeah, it will allow for a good overcock
>>50780472
Pros: Videos is gr8, I can run almost anything.
Cons: As another anon pointed out, I should have gone with dual channel RAM. Also maybe an AIO cooler.
>>50784996
cpu hits 71-73 @ 4.2ghz, gpu has never gone over 40.
@4.5ghz it hits just under 80, but i never need that much :\
>>50785114
That seems a little high for the cpu on a custom loop
>>50785139
5960 seems to run hot for any bump in oc. if i run it stock i can barely get over 48.
also i blame it partly on running as a hackintosh without 100% speedstep/oc support. havent yet done a extended load in windows
these are my guts. there are many like them, but these are mine
>>50784822
NZXT radiator fans, purchased from the NZXT store. I like them better and think they're quieter than the stock Corsairs. Rubber screw mounts help reduce vibration. They also allow more light through, which was a nice bonus.
Pros:
-Runs everything I throw at it at max settings
-SLI
-Based rog armor
Cons:
-Not 98Oti
-SLI
- the hdds ruin the aesthetic
r8?
Pros:
>pushes my 970 with no issue in any game
>quiet
>good aesthetic
>current motherboard still allows for upgrades
>no side window or ugly side fan mount
Cons:
>limited in terms of rendering and converting
>finger prints
>120GB SSD
>>50787233
I really haven't felt constrained with a 120gb ssd, but a 250gb would be nice, especially since prices have fallen so much
Been thinking of picking up a 500gb for my laptop
>>50787301
500GB would be comfortable. Would be nice to one day, load GTA V from an SSD.
She's tiny. And seems to be able to do everything I could possibly want. Not too loud either. wifi built in for those times away.
>>50787650
pros:
plays vidya really well
cons: loud
Pro: Tiny and CPU/GPU never go above 50c
Con: Case is sliiightly too small to fit the 240mm radiator in. Next step up in size is a huge jump.
Pros: Dunno, performs reasonably well I guess
Cons: Can put out a shit load of heat under heavy load, no SATA III or USB 3.0, no audio output on the motherboard, PSU fan is the noisiest part of the system
>>50780472
>Needs more PSU.
Didn't get a chance to reply in the Specy thread. If your getting blue screens and you can narrow it down to a power issue (so not something like drivers) then either the power supply is faulty or the power regulation on the motherboard. The power supply would be the cheapest to replace so test with that first, but don't feel that you need to get an 800w+.
thread is stale as fuck, disappointing
Pros: looks sexy runs Borderlands the pre-sequel on max
Cons: crashes playing witcher 3 and metro last light also freezes alot still working on the issues
>>50790385
Forgot pic
pros: Cat seems to like it
cons: Cat seems to like it
>>50782105
I wish mods would stop banhammering my dorm because some fuckboy is using a VPN...
>>50790460
Cons: You bought a case marketed at teenagers.
>>50790722
well, all the hardware I bought to that moment was black and red, had to make it match somehow, I also like the silence and overall looks of the case. Guess I fell for it
Pros: Very fast, can run any game maxed out. Never runs hot.
Cons: After upgrading to an i7 from an i5 some of my benchmark scores have actually gotten lower
>>50788136
>sli 970
>>50791041
Which Phantek?
>>50791548

>>50792421
Show us yours
>>50792421
nice computer you have there
>>50792421
who's this anus demon ?
i mean semen
>>50791041
How are phantek builds? I've been looking for a new case and I noticed yours. After doing more research the Phantek Pro M caught my eye. Are they nice sturdy and strong?
>>50782110
Case?
>>50792464
Very sturdy and spacious. Can be a little on the heavy side but it's worth it.
>>50792421
>Brands I no like
>>50790402
Why does your cooler look like Devastator
>>50784960
>Pros
Looks like it's cooled by cum
>>50784511
What do you have against 970 SLI?
>>50793455
Because I need the power!!!! But I just got a hyper 212 and put a second fan on it
pros
can probably run anything i throw at it
cons
i spent a a lot of money on a CSGO machine
Pros:Video games look great, everything boots and runs faster because of the SSD in the back.
Cons: I only play league and Diablo 3 atm, I just can't find a fun game to play.
>>50793477
You are putting together two overheating meme GPUs on top of each other and you are using SLI with 3.5GB cards
>>50793506
Paint a chopstick black, break it in half, and use it as support for that GPU.
I have a 980ti with a +200 core clock, it can run anything.
>>50793543
it isn't sagging actually
picture was taken as a fucky angle, along with the motherboard not really fitting the case that well
ty for the idea though
>Pros
It's quiet. Case looks nice.
>Cons
Not nearly enough cores/threads. Not nearly enough RAM. Can heat up a room right quick. Want to add more storage, but I can't be assed to put the HDD racks back in.
>>50793515
The open beta for Battlefront 3 just closed yesterday unfortunately. it's a battlefield clone with Star Wars all over it. I had fun.
>>50793709
Yeah I missed the beta, pretty much waiting for Fallout and Battlefront and then I'll play something else aha
>>50784936
The 6700k costs nearly the same as a 5820k and it performs worse. The 5820k has soldered IHS instead of the fucked up one of the 6700k.
Skylake is a meme architecture
>>50793626
Specs?
>>50794048
>>50794006
Faster IPC and clocks higher, despite the crap TIM. The 6 core is only faster in an application that can use 6 cores.
And if you aren't a complete idiot you can find one for the same price as an unlocked Haswell.
>>50792601
Not him but I have the same one I believe
Corsair air 540
It's big but pleasant to work in
>>50793626
mobo upside down ?
>>50794150
It's a reverse ATX case. It's not that uncommon.
>>50792430
>>50792435
>>50792459
>>50793417
>>50793477
2/10 replies. Well aren't you guys boring. FWIW that Corsair/10 job is a nice pc.
>>50792464
I would recommend a Phanteks over almost every other brand. It offers so much flexibility for how much it costs. The Pro M is a really good case that gives you just enough of what you need, I'd actually recommend it over their regular Enthoo Pro.
But stay away from their ITX case, it's a cheap, oversized, heat-trapping POS not at all worthy of an ITX build.
PROS:
-R9 290 is fast as shit
-Very silent even while gaming
CONS:
-Gpu gets hot hot hot
-Cpu idles at like 35 on max
-Hard drive is the loudest component beeps and shit
-PSU looks ugly
>>50794813
Any build that has at least one 290/290X should have a custom water loop on it.
A 980 and 970, not so much.
alright reddit I did it, gpu came in this morning
>>50795235
2/2 SPECS
cpu now runs 5C hotter with gpu in it
Probably will get another fan to replace cardboard airflow management, which is to prevent the top fan from just recycling the air.
>>50789741
>Lian-Li PC70
my nigga
I used a black one of those for literally ten years
>>50795598
This one's at least 12 years old. I think it was released some time in 2001 but the earlier ones seem to have different front panel buttons so this one isn't quite as old as that.
>>50795704
The very first models (which I think was indeed 2000-01 or so) had three 40mm fan holes above the expansion slots, instead of just a vent, too
>>50795275
>no fan shroud
You could have shaved a few degrees with an old case fan, a saw, and some sandpaper...
>>50795780
I have no old fans but where would you put this shroud?
First time building here /g/, how'd I do?
Any suggestions?
>>50796116
Right behind the fan on your heatsink and using niggerrigged clips to mount them both onto your heatsink.
I have fan shrouds on my radiator fans and the temps went down by 4 degrees at load.
>>50796155
other side
>>50796187
a lot of people are gonna rag on you for having such a big case but don't pay them any mind. Looks good
Pretty casual tbh. Runs silent as fuck tho.
just havnt placed the LED yet, might not even secure them
i have better LED's coming in the mail with more lights on them 36>24
>>50796158
The problem is that the sapphire tri-x coolers have an opening at the end (since they extend past the PCB) and blow hot air straight up in front of the cpu cooler. I think.
>>50796300
Thanks. Can't say I'd blame them though. Damn thing is over 50 pounds of metal, but that space is nice.
Thinking im doing something wrong with my fan setup though, that or could be doing something better with fan power. Im still setting everything up but these temps seem a bit above average for little to no work load going on at the time,
>>50795275
is that 34 idle?
>>50797384
nearly, yes
How bad is it /g/?
>>50794167
Are those wheels?
>>50796155
Interesting PSU mount going on there. Is that like 4 inches of room?
>>50798665
looks like a normal sized psu to me
his case is just massive
>tfw have to use a full tower to fit in the 290x.
Old guts
Pros:
Cool
Silent
Stable
Front Panel on top for easy access under desk
Cons:
Ugly cables
Common heatsink with average performance
>3.5
Don't have it anymore
Who makes those chromed /polished heatsinked RAMs I've seen in few of these threads?
![20151007_225154[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/KNnpEh4.jpg "20151007_225154[2].jpg")
Pros:
-Quiet minus the CM fan in the back
-Plays everything I like at 1440p
-i7 is gr8 for productivity
-small case
-sexy cooler
-16 Gigs of ram
-8 gigs of Vram
Cons:
-CPU cooler sucks warm air from the GPU
-Airflow is trash due to restrictive filters
-CM fan
-Little cable managment space
All in all I'd give it a 8/10
>>50798928

>>50798955
Something like that was the first thing that came to mind, however I haven't really noticed anyone else with anything similar (although I don't check out the memory in every photo).
Got mine from Scan for a quid each, wasn't expecting such a high polish for that price. They're copper but look more like brass with a gold colour.
>>50799065
Does those witnesses have make & model?
>>50798579
They sure are
>>50799217
Witnesses? I'm going to assume that's an autocorrect and you heatsinks. They're these: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/xclio-xtreme-copper-memory-cooler-spreader-for-ddr-ddr2-3-with-3m-thermal-bonding-very-hi-end
PRO:
I love it, it's awesome.
CON:
It doesn't suck my dick.
>>50799264
It was planned to be witty remark to mad max fury. The chrome side of things
>>50799285
Did you buy an 850w PSU thinking it would suck your dick?
>>50780886
We have very similar builds haha
>>50801826
No. You don't.
>>50801838
They're quite similar. You butthurt that someone decided to get same case, cpu cooler, and ram as you?
>>50801896
That's not my build, Mr. Insecure. And no, they are not similar.
>>50793626
> Case looks nice.
from what i see you're talking about any other case than the one in your picture
>>50800531
it looks pretty nice, only shit thing is the disgusting thing in your front
>>50801896
That's not me, but our builds aren't that similar. Everyone and their brother has an s340 and an evo, they're the perfect combo for lower priced builds.
Considering this whole rig cost me essentially nothing, except for the ssd (worked some mix of gypsy and jew magic)...it does alright, but I plan on upgrading in the next few months.
Going to use this 290X as a stop gap till Pascal/Arctic Islands...but please somebody end my suffering..the stock cooling is so fucking loud...
>>50793515
did that cover come with the motherboard?
or was that a modded one.

*Pros:*
GPU cooler like a bro.
*Cons:*
CPU cooler not like a bro.
>>50785027
The CPU you currently have picked out isn't made for overclocking. If you are wanting to overclock then don't get that CPU. Get a "k" processor.

My friends, I need your advice. I want to build a gaming pc on a tight budget, but my last machine I built about 7 years ago and been using laptops ever since. They suck and I need a desktop.
So I have 500$ and no knowledge of parts compatibility. What I got so far:
GPU: Sapphire AMD R7 260X - 140$(with discount)
M/B: MSI 1150 MSI H81M-E33 - 55$
Power: Corsair Power Supply Vs550 - 50$
RAM: 4GB DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz - 2x21$
CPU and frame are yet to be chosen, and everything else I have a.i. HDD, mouse\keys\monitor\wi-fi etc.
What do you say?
>>50804087
Thermal paste will eat up about half your budget.
>>50801896
Your chinksquint eyes sure make it hard to differentiate colors, huh?
>>50803927
That must've been a bitch to install.
>>50804009
I hoped you don't see.
*Fucking cable sleeving in progress*.
>>50804087
That looks like a good start to play Quake max settings.
New builder here:
I was wondering how this CPU cooler set up looks? Are the tubes ok? Is it ok to have the tubes going up?
>>50804216

>>50804216
>>50804226
Read the installation booklet if you don't know you dip.
Heading into winter
The non-sauna days are upon us
Got a new case on the way, it should get here by the end of this week.
In the mean time, I've been dealing with this piece of shit for about 5 years. However, I didn't pay anything for it, so at least I don't have buyers remorse.
>>50783989
Anon, your pc looks like a brothel.
>>50791602
Looks nice, anon. What PSU is that?
>>50786472
I'm thinking of changing out the fans on my h110 as well. The nzxt fans you got hooked up and just werkt without any fiddling?
>>50803927
Best use of space I've ever seen.
>>50802351
Jewpsy?
>>50793626
What kind of heat sink is on your GPU?
>>50800494
>>50800531
Nice. Those red cables are sexy as fuck.
>>50804216
If there's any bubbles inside the loop you'll have them going round and round, flip that rad 180 degrees
>>50785101
What cooler is that?
Also, when is intel gonna fkin release octocore I7s that arent outdated?
Pros:
Humongous case for tons of airflow
Runs cold as ice (temps in Speccy are under load)
Handles massive amounts of recorded and synthesized audio with tons of insert effects without bogging down
Churns through video like a hot knife through butter
Cons:
Corsair fans on the AIO are dogshit awful and loud, need replacing
Would like to switch from these old dual monitors to a single ultra-wide
Only has one open SATA port, which I need to attach a 4 or 6 gb HDD to for media... currently using 4tb of external USB 3 storage, which sort of sucks.
>>50798793
I kno! its a big fucker rite? i have a big antec 1200 and it still barely fit in!
What benefits do these gaming keyboards actually have?
>>50807621
They look cool.
First pc tbh made it Sunday runs everything mostly maxed out at 4k buttery smooth. Sure beats playing dota on a Dell laptop cost around 4k dollars
>>50807823
If that box cost you 4000 you did it very wrong anon....
>>50786629
would be 10/10 if the fans weren't red
>>50799264
Damn you pound exchange rates, if i order 6 it will cost me over 45 €. Damn postage.

Some have clackity
Thermaltake has dancing strippers who sell their keyboards
>>50791602
Looks like a messier >>50791041
Really like it, quiet and stable. Only wish i would have taken the 850watt PSU instead of this one. It does work now but who knows if the next generation of cards in either sli or crossfire (would probably be fucked with dual furys as well) will be alright with this amount of power.
>>50809627
CPU?
>>50809850
Cooled
>>50809850
5820k at 4,5.
>>50809988
Nice, can you get any higher
IS 70C ON CPU TOO HIGH WHILE PLAYIG VIDEOGAME?
>>50810266
Depends on what game, I have an H100i GTX and it never goes above 40C
>>50810259
Probably could if i delved deeper into it. I just got up there and was happy. It is plenty for most stuff.
>>50810287
it happens to me in any game i play.
>>50810299
Then it's a problem
>>50810316
i hate my life
>>50810340
Are you using a stock cooler or are you using an aftermarket.
>>50810369
stock 4690k, and I only tested it with csgo, arkham knight and da inquisiton
>>50810423
Get a better cooler, check in your bios to make sure you aren't overvolting your CPU
>>50810423
Have you checked the heatsink contact with the CPU
I know it's a meme but try more thermal paste
How come X99 boards get more space between GPU's in SLI while Z97 only has one slot space?
Pros. It works and does everything I want it to do.
Cons. It's not a laptop
>>50792464
I went and checked the Pro M in a store to see the build quality and it was top notch. For a 'budget' case it's really a nice unit. Lot's of metal and high quality plastics.
>>50791700
The PSU and GPU are sick pieces of kit.
>>50809627
>>50809988
Just don't ever run stress tests lol
[email protected] consumes 400~450w running prime small fft
980 ti consumes 400w+ running occt
Pic somewhat related, except the cpu is only running linpack since that's the occt default test so it's consuming 150w~ less.
Gaming power is much more reasonable at 450w, although that'll probably change with dx12.
>>50811589
I did run Aida64 for an hour, granted the system did rev up quite a bit but the air pushed out from the PSU was not all that hot so i figured i should be alright!
I got a suspicion these things often can handle a bit more than they are specified for!
>>50792464
My Pro shits all over the previous Antec I had.
Only thing I don't like about the Pro M is the cutout for the drive bay in the front. I wish it was grill all the way up.

It's not unheard of. My 850W Seasonic for example (M12II EVO, so not even silver rated) can put out around 960W before shutting off.
Pros: Can Run stuff I guess
Cons: Ugly, and has a i7-5930k
>>50811784
10 minutes cleaning up the cables and it could not be ugly.

More like cons: RM Corsair power supply.
Get rid of it, man. HX or up, cause the RM builder's shit is a fire waiting to happen.

Thats the best of my abbilies.

The aida64 cpu test is kinda worthless and doesn't generate much heat, the fpu test on the other hand is insane and is even more stressful than prime.
I'm just giving you a small heads up on what your components are capable of consuming because I happen to have the same. Those evga 1200w gold units often goes on sale for like $90 so it's something to think about next time you see it.
>>50811819
Thinking of buying a new one, if i buy another 980ti.. dunno if i have to or not tho

Really? Your case fan cable is draped across your GPU. Your SATA cable still has the recycling sticker on it. It looks like you used a 6+8 pin for your motherboard power for some reason and the 6 pin is just hanging there.

I wish i lived with those prices, the 1000W G2 runs close to $220 here and it is one of the ones that gives you most bang for the buck still. Fucking Yuroop.

If you are refering the the 4 pin that is just hanging there, thats for the cpu, the mobo has slots for 8 pin concectors there, but i just stuck a 4pin in and it works... and the other one doesnt fit

In the us if you register an evga product they give you a 50% off coupon for their psus. Don't know about europe though.

Thanks for the laugh.
>>50811994
True story tho.
>>50812013
you're retarded. Rotate the 4 pin till it does fit.
>>50812020
I doesnt, the little groves in it doesnt line up correctly, it works, so why mess with it. I dont even know if it should have all 8 plugged in or not.
>>50812059
lel. You should.
>>50812059
The 8 pin connector will allow your motherboard to draw more power without catching shit on fire, so yeah you should probably plug it in. If it doesn't fit then it's not the right connector, you're probably trying to jam a PCIE power cable into it (should be labelled either EPS or CPU).
