guts thread!!my baby is finally FINISHED! I'm super happy with the results!
r8s?
why have a optical drive if you don't even hook it up
also
>filename
yeah right m8
>>51269243
Should have bought gentle typhoons for the CPU heatsink. Also, G. Skill is a better choice for RAM imo. Other than that it looks good.
>>51269243
7/10
Big case for a small motherboard, disconnected optical, and a few cable routes I would have done differently.
Overall it's nice and a respectable build.
Likewise, just built today. Already had GPU and drives, there's an SSD on the other side of the case.
>>51269243
>>51269819
whats the name of the cases?
>>51269884
Both are Corsair. OP is a 650D I believe and the other one is an Air 540.
Evening /g/ents
Built last summer, haven't cleaned the dust since
Not bad honestly for over a years worth
>>51269943
it's a 750D
>>51269662
>>51269274
I'm deciding between taking the optical out all the way or plugging it back in, still haven't decided. kinda just laziness at this point.
>>51269293
I like the a e s t h e t i c s of the sp120s, and I've had those Corsair modules for 4 years and they've been great.
>>51269984
How's the CLC holding up?
>>51269983
Disregarding my personal dislike for MSI, the only way this could be improved is with a custom water loop. 9.5/10.
>>51270027
Great, got it on sale for $50, just replaced the stock AMD fan that had a really annoying whine to it
I don't overclock much so it keeps the CPU around 38c give or take 5 degrees
>>51269819
Looks pretty solid. Hella lot of grommets in that case! Where's the PSU?
>>51269243
Keep going with that color theme nigga. Make all the fans blue, get a blue psu and blue vapor x 290x
I see black and poop is here too

>>51270057
Thanks man, I was a little apprehensive about the MSI board, but it ticked all the boxes so we'll see how it goes I guess. I've only really used Asus and Gigabyte in the past.
Really wanted to do a custom loop, but I'm in accommodation, away from home (and tools) so I thought it might be a pain draining and refilling the loop every 6-8 months. It's an option for the future though.

That's pretty good man, where about do you live if you don't mind me asking?

Got my 3770k build up for sale at the minute.
>>51270213
>What's the bottom card for?
Maybe I should add something to my picture to explain, as someone's always interested!
I run GNU/Linux on the metal. I have a Windows virtual machine running with QEMU. I passthrough the Fury to the windows guest leaving the GTX760 for the linux host. This way I use linux most of the time, but when I want to play a game I switch inputs on one of my monitors and play on the windows VM. Gaming performance is as good as native as far as I can tell and I don't have to close everything to dual boot, so I really like to do my computing this way.
>>51270156
This looks like some Frankenstein monstrosity with the multiple clc's and shit led fans. What the fuck are you doing?
>>51270349
Looks good with a consistent theme. The cpu clc is standard, the card clc is because it was a reference 290.
Did I insult your build?
>>51270330
That's a cool setup man. I'm running the opposite to you - I run win10, then set a Hyper V instance of debian to run a full screen virtual desktop. Ctrl+Win+Arrow allows me switch between full screen desktops instantly.
I'm doing it this way as I am trying to slowly transition to Debian for everyday computing needs, and it's nice to be able to flick back to a familiar environment if I'm having problems in the debian install.
hi
>>51270294
Want to downgrade and go to mitx, I've realized I don't play video games to justify a $1000 PC.

>>51270501
That poor fucking dog. Hate seeing fat dogs, because it is completely in the owners control.
>>51270440
What's the CPU cooler?
>>51270387
Yep, virtual machines are good fun. I feel more at home on my linux system than Windows so it's always nice to have the OS you're most comfortable with on the hardware.
>Hyper V
How speedy is Debian under that? I use the reference time counter from hyper v in QEMU because windows guests seem to behave better if you make them think they're being hypervised by Hyper-V (things like event timers drift otherwise, which caused stuttering in some games until I enabled hyper-v's counter).
>>51270530
Looks like a scythe shuriken to me desu
>>51269243
Where are your SSDs?
>>51270530
>>51270557
yep, big shuriken
>>51270542
It's nice and fast, I haven't used any advanced settings to set up the environment, just the wizard. I've allocated it two cores and 4GB RAM.
>>51270213
I have the same board as you, and I was hesitant.
But the price was right and I've owned an MSI laptop in the past, it was okay.
>>51270330
Would this work well with one GPU?
>>51270651
Yeah, my thinking was the same. Half price of all the 'gamer' or 'premium' boards but with 99% of the features.
>>51270583
Cool. I don't know much about VMs with a windows host. Does it use the hardware virtualization acceleration on the CPU (VT-d on Intel) like KVM does on the linux side?
>>51270651
>Would this work well with one GPU?
It would not work at all with one GPU, when the GPU is passed-through the host can't use it. However, you could use the 'integrated graphics' GPU on the CPU for linux and give windows the discrete GPU.
Gatsu! People keep asking me what case this is so let's get that out of the way, Nanoxia Deep Silence 6.
>>51270688
With three high pixel count monitors and Haswell-E I think I'll have to pass on that option, but thanks for the info.

Looking for a good quiet non-ricer case that can cool 2x R9 fury airs and has at least 6 3.5 in internal bays.
Suggestions?
>>51270844
2 open air design cards will run pretty hot, my top R9 290 ran 10°C hotter than the bottom card easily, both were TriX cards. Just keep that in mind.

>phanteks ph-tc14pe
The non-windowed one is £10 cheaper.
Same guts. Really hung up on if I should go buy into x99 now or wait for Zen. Apprehension is killing me. Just want to reach a decision already.
So far the only thing I have concrete is I want 2 4tb drives.
>>51271796
Why do you want to go from z97 to x99?
Do any of you guys with dual GPUs have SLI issues? I think I'd like to add another 780. If I do, how big of a PSU should I get? I know 760 watts probably won't cut it for two Kepler cards.
Otherwise, I could just get a 980 Ti and sell the 780 while it's not completely worthless. I'd really like to supersample Battlefront and Fallout.
>>51271907
Encoding times. I do a lot of dvd and bluray ripping and encoding. Handbrake uses as many threads as you can throw at it. Encoding times on a cpu with 12 threada will bw significantly faster than my 4 core i5. I also game of course and I know the extra threads won't be of much use there but as it sits now, a single 50gb bluray rip takes an hour with only mild compression. I usually daisy chain rips one after another up to as many as 8 files. 400gb is a long time for me to wait and all 4 cores are locked at 100%.
With a 5820k i could have handbreak in a VM using obly 8 threads and use the remaining 4 for casual browsing and gaming.
Not to mention benefit of ddr4, quad channel memory, and proper nvme ssd support because Ive had my eye on a samsung 950 pro m.2 ssd. Z97 needs a bios flash for it to work right and even then it is iffy. X99 supports nvme natively.

>>51272052
I think x99 stuff is haswel-e currently
>>51271988
Waiting for Zen is a sensible option.
>>51272155
highest I've recorded was about 80c on both the gpu (3dmark firestrike) and cpu (prime95) In any modern game I get about 75c gpu and 65c cpu at the most
>>51272339
Yea i know. Just impatient. Almost like i want to see if i can get a buyer for my 4690k so i can grab a 4790k for the time being.
I'm a big fan of amd. I came from an overclocked fx-9370. That thing churned through encoding like mad. Just lagged behind in newer games. Ugh. Decisions. The other option of course is i could sell my z97 setup and go get an 990fx amd board and put my 9370 back in service.
>>51272500
I feel you. I've had the itch to upgrade for a while.
This is my guts: >>51272156
I was going to get a 970 when they came out, but I waited and I'm glad I did. I'll probably do a rebuild in a year or so when Pascal is out.
I have never built a pc. Have they made them retard-proof or I am bound to fuck something up unless I watch 10h of YouTube instructionals?
>>51272551
Nice. How are palit cards? Never used them. Are they like UK only cards? I actually came from 2 liquid cooled Zotac gtx 670s. The 670 is a very stout card. Even though mine were reference cards I managed to get them both to 1250mhz on core easily.
>>51272556
they've pretty much stayed the same. As long as you don't have incompatible parts everything just sort of fits together. The only thing I could see someone messing up is applying thermal paste or not grounding themselves and killing the mobo with esd
>>51272662
Never had a problem with it, but I haven't tried OC'ing yet. I'd actually say it's too hot for that at the moment anyway, it gets up to 86C under full load.
They're not UK only, I'm in Australia.
How do they go with SLi? I was looking at getting a cheap second hand one off ebay, but every bastard seems to think they're worth a fortune.
>>51272800
Very good. Easily gtx 980 tier with games that properly use SLI. Only drawback is the. Vram. 2gb just isnt enough for most games.
Then again i play at 1440p. My 8gb r9 390 is amazing.
>>51272831
Sleep tight, pupper.

Gskill looks like absolute trash but continue spreading that cancerous looking ram
>>51273573

Yeah, because that's what's important. I bumped the FSB clock on my motherboard in the BIOS by a few MHz and the Corsair RAM shat the bed, my G. Skill handled a FSB OC and lower-than-spec timings with ease.

>I thought it might be a pain draining and refilling the loop every 6-8 months.
Where are you getting this 6-8 months figure from? The last time I drained my loop, it had been sealed for almost two years. It was a non-issue. I opened my water blocks to check them in the name of being thorough, and then put them right back together.
>>51271706
>GPUs not in loop
>Spaghetti tubes
Step it up, son.
>>51274059
So use GPU core blocks. Still better to get them in the loop.
>>51272662
>Even though mine were reference cards I managed to get them both to 1250mhz on core easily
Mine are reference MSIs. I've yet to actually attempt a manual OC on them, but they're hitting 1250 on GPU boost anyways.

Would probably help if I remembered to attach my guts.
