I saw wrong anon I apologize.
>>51588163
Didn't think of it that way. Looks good then anon :3
>>51588176
Its funny, amazon sent me the wrong case, and since it was a fractal design case, I kept it. The brushed plastic grew on me.
how long until Pascal?
>>51588205
>I saw wrong anon I apologize.
>>51588202
I agree. Aesthetically it was.
The AIO is pretty decent cooling wise though. With the big fan it would top off at 60c, now it tops off at 40c under full load.
>>51588247
After getting a white case i am actually starting to like white components a lot more.
shitty psu designed to be top mounted so i ended up having to run the 8-pin across the gpu, not to mention tinycase

>>51588452
Because there's nothing wrong with Seagate and the the Backblaze testing methodology was flawed as fuck. It would be like me saying I haven't had an issue with any of the 4 Seagate drives in this build in the 2.5 years I've owned it, so no one should have an issue with any Seagate drive within 2.5 years.
>>51587609
Hoping AMD beats out Intel with Zen so the AMD badge on this ancient case means something.
When I do go Zen (or Haswell-E X99) I'll go full custom loop along with swapping video cards since these 390x's don't have full pcb blocks available. *sigh* Shoulda bought the PowerColor 390x's.
Still haven't got my custom cables. I think they got lost in the mail because they arrived at the sorting station and that's it.
>>51588499
No, because standard fans are 25mm, and slim fans are ~12mm. Then you need the rad itself, the thinnest of which are 25mm.
>>51588589
Fucking resizing program ruined this pic. Original was 12mb. gimmie a sec.
>>51588479
I like that extra fan blowing air on the GPU, how'd you do it?
Also, I can tell you've re-bent that hardline many times, must be a bitch to manage :\
>>51588565
What are your GPU and CPU temps when you stress them?
>>51588565
Ooh, I like, I'm nitpicking here since you've achieved skunkworks level quality but have you thought of a custom decal on your PSU? It doesn't match the scheme so you could pull the sticker off, make a stencil of whatever you want then spray paint it, or maybe redo the color so the "AX" is blue.
>>51588611
I hope you learned your lesson about that case anon.

I found some PCI chink mount on ebay. It was meant for a waaay older build with a video card that got into some lethal heat regions.

The fucking hard plastic tubing is such a bitch. And the "howto guides" miss so many important little tips that'll keep you from wasting tubing, cracking tubing, and developing leaks. But it looks kewl.

Supermicro, jeesus Christmas swift key get your shift together
>>51588623
It's been a long time since I stressed them. I think the GPUs wind up in the low 60s, but I honestly can't remember what the CPU runs at. Certainly nothing high enough to be worth thinking about.
>>51588648
>skunkworks level quality
If you're referring to the build by JayzTwoCents, then that's high praise. I don't think it's anywhere near that level. The next upgrade for this system is going to be new GPUs, hopefully with a new PSU at the same time. That will most likely be a HX850i. I'm not going to do anything with the PSU until then, especially because you can't see it with the side panel on.
>>51588664
Not that anon, but I have that same case collecting dust in a box in the living room. Leaning heavily on taking it to the dump and getting $5 for the metal.
>>51588697
whers ur ram?
>>51588611
I really like this build for some reason.
>>51588664
I specifically bought this case because nostalgia.
I have no regrets about purchasing this ancient case.
Why should I have learned my lesson anon?
Not to be snark but enlighten me.
>>51588724
On the other side, had to keep me all in one place for triple channel support
>>51588760
Uh, why? You've got two sticks per channel there. You'd have been better off with one stick per channel per CPU.
>>51588760
so you have tripple channel for one CPU and other CPU has no ram.
>>51588787
Memory controller on cpu 2 has issues, and it makes cooling easter (I only have 2 fans and the nearest electonics store is 150 miles away back use alaskafag)
>>51588796
It still works the same, modern operating systems have no ducks to give, also nalhelm shares the memory between the proses or it is not separate so no worrys
>>51588176
>who uses bottom fans though
Case has filters on the front and bottom for intake. Got 3 exhaust, 2 on top one in back, so I want 3 intake, hence the one on bottom. With my controller on the 2 front intakes I can change the case to go between positive and negative pressure. Need 3 fans to do that.
>>51588611
if you were to match the motherboard heatsinks/gpu accent color on the ram (or just paint it black) and get a new case, it would make it 8/10+

You'll be fine. Match the arrow on the corner of the CPU with the corresponding triangle on the motherboard,drop it in carefully and you're good to lock it down

>>51590215
Not bad, you could have removed a cage for more airflow and spent a little more time on small cables. Great case though.
>>51590268
Yeah I was thinking about getting rid of the middle cage, putting the lower cage where the 5.25" bays are but I was lazy

Is that board pulled from a HP/Dell system? It looks familiar
>>51594324
>>51594285
>>51594275
The board stays cool from a decent sised fan and nalhelm isn't effected by memory placement (also those slots don't work due to what I believe is cpu2 memory controller not working
>>51590268
i think your ram is put in wrong, is it dual channel?
>>51594008
I bought a x99 mobo with cpu and some delish ddr4 a couple of months ago it still hurts my wallet.. I'm not sure if it can ever recover from this.
>>51593519
Post related my current rig.
Would like to acquire some more monitors desu. Only using one atm but I can't be arsed to make another major purchase in 2k15. Will call in 2k16 with 2x dell u2715h just becouse I already have one.
>>51594727
Nalhelm ep is triple channel, it's Olds chook qpi instead of standard fsb in modern systems
>>51590697
True...but gaming machines are already a hobbyist niche, in which 3rd party cooling (whether air or closed loop liquid) is already a further niche that fulfills nearly anyone's need for overclocking headroom for typical usage.
If you're not comfortable setting up an open loop cooling system in your rig, and don't have the funds to replace damaged parts...why even bother with the loop to begin with? The only real point, if we're being perfectly honest here, is e-peen by having a higher OC than other guys on forums. It really has minimal practical impact.
So again, if you don't have the skills to make it happen why do it at all?
>>51594008
I have that combo anon, It's solid, I even have the same GPU's you do, 2X R9 290's. You'll be sad to learn you're only going to get a minor boost to your 3dMark score, I think I have a score of 15,200 on Firestrike.
Will you be able to reuse one of the cold plates on your new mobo?
>>51594787
That's a pretty nice monitor there senpai, have you checked Craiglist to supplement it?
I'm still all happy about snagging a 30" Dell Ultrasharp 3007 2560x1600 for $100. Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 are delicious. I wish I had more desk space and money because another guy near me is selling a Yamakasi Sparta 301 30" 1600p for $150 asking. It kills me, but I just don't know where'd I'd put TWO 30" 1600p displays.
>>51596435
>Will you be able to reuse one of the cold plates on your new mobo?
You mean the CPU blocks? If so then yeah, they're 1150/55/56 compatible so I'll reuse one.
I'm not looking to make huge gains (although it should be better in applications with weak mulithreading support), I'm mainly doing it for some modern features and less heat and power.

How would you know? You've clearly never attempted it. If you had done even the slightest bit of research into how it's done, you'd know how to leak test your system while it's powered down so that nothing gets damaged, and you'd know that if it doesn't spring a leak immediately, the chances of it ever leaking are basically nil.

It's the OG Antec 300, not the revision. Bought it in like 2009 for under $50. It's gone through several iterations by now and is covered in stickers. That pic isn't even current - the build was parted out and sold off. PSU and cables are now in pic related.

>>51600347
Thinking about building in the NCase. Would you recommend it? What pros and cons does it have?
Building my first custom (i5/970/8gb ddr3) and got the Carbide 100R for $40. It looks pretty good, the metal is thinner than oem completes I've had in the past but that seems common among Corsair. Can't wait for the other components to ship.
>>51597932
How's that cooler? I'd upgrade to a simple 120mm like that since they're showing up for cheap but I'm curious about the dB's.
Having it mounted in the rear would seem like the quietest orientation. A top or front mount single fan liquid cooler doesn't rev up too loud do they (1,500-2,000rpm fans)? Having a fan right up against a rad whether push or pull must affect the sound but probably not by much to have a preference.
i'll post, be gentle.
And yes I'm aware my RAM is in wrong in the pic. It wouldn't originally post when I first put it together but I've since moved the second DIMM to the correct slot and haven't had a problem.
>>51594352
It was originally a pre-built from Best Buy. I replaced the psu, gpu, and the case. The wifi chip thing was designed to fit with the original case, hence, the hanging wire shit.
Bought a Raijintek Triton watercooler in this black friday, but I heard that it leaks and cracks a lot. Is it true?

You just have to be really careful with component choice to make sure everything fits, I love my NCASE build but in retrospect unless you REALLY need a case this small, I'd go M-ATX

That's a good case at a good price.
>>51600981
That's a good PSU. Great choice.
Your cable management is terrible. Is that your USB 3.0 header dangling there? If so, why isn't it plugged in? That motherboard supports it.
I just took a look at your motherboard's manual, and as far as I can tell, your memory isn't taking advantage of dual channel. If it supports dual channel and you have two sticks, then why not? You almost always skip a DIMM. Like this: 1x1x instead of 11xx
Go here and read section 1.4.2: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/Z170-PRO-GAMING/E10719_Z170_PRO_GAMING_UM_V2_WEB.pdf
Can you take those HDDs out and put them up top and remove that cage for better air flow?
Check out this guy's build below yours: >>51601150
That's what you should aspire to.
Could be a solid build with some work. Clean it up, bro. Good luck!
>>51600981
Haha, sorry for that lengthy post about the RAM. I didn't even read your text until now. My bad.
Getting a new motherboard and CPU soon.
>>51601761
I know about my terrible cable management lol. It's one of the things I need to work on. As for my USB 3.0 header dangling, turns out I somehow managed to ham hands something and bend a few pins on the USB 3.0 connector. I tried to fix it but to no avail. I was pretty much done at that point and was just itching to turn it on to make sure it worked and I didn't really care about lacking 2 more USB 3.0 ports on my case. Maybe I'll fix it one day if I can. And yeah no worries about the RAM thing. It would not for the life of it POST it was weird. Only would work when 1 DIMM was inserted or they were in separate channels. I've since corrected the matter and it turns on and I see all my memory. As for the HDDs I could probably mount them in the back of the case and remove the cage altogether. I just like the easy access I have to my drives.
>>51603751
No worries. As for the bent pins, you can straighten them back out with needle nose pliers. I've done that before, and what do you have to lose?
>I just like the easy access I have to my drives.

Never understood why the basement on that case has a hole for routing cables. If anything, it's on the wrong side.
Nice clean build. I'd probably put some cable ties around the PCI cables to clean them up, though.
>>51604295
Its to run PCIe power cables through. Straight up in line with 95% of GPU power connections.

I guess you can't see the psu in there but it's a 1000w evga supernova fully modular gold
>>51599676
I love angles like this that show off those glowing fans. Is that purple or white led? Try to stabilize your camera better next time, family.
>>51604978
They're white but they kinda look ice blue sometimes.
I took like 100 shots and this was one of the most stable ones, it's some shitty canon point and shoot.
>>51588247
what PSU is that? Also what card are those backplates for?
>>51588565
Sick
>>51605641
PSU is a Seasonic Snow Silent 1050.
GPUs are Asus 970 Turbos

i recently added some e22 cable combs.

I want to do a small build at some point too. Can you post specs?

>>51588247
Do you have a picture without the LEDs? I want to see the red/white under normal colors.
I'll bite.
>>51606279
This is fucking nice. I love white electronics. I just wish they were more popular. How long did it take you to do those cables?
>>51606279
Huge fan of this. I'm getting the same ram, psu, all white cables and the same gpu and custom painting the red on it purple for my build. I'd suggest getting 2 red sticks of ram and alternating for maximum color synergy. Also this would look so good with a white internal case.

>>51604111
Sorry for the late reply. I used my GS5. They're pretty good for it being a phone, I guess. It only takes good pictures with ample amounts of natural light, hence the outdoor pics.
>>51606330
I had an EVGA SC+ 670 with the backplate in my last build and I really miss that card. It was absolutely wonderful, and easily EVGA's best looking card to date. I'd have no use for it now, I just wish I still had it so I could look at it.

The MSI bridge lights up red and white, but only on 9XX boards that use the reference PCB. The Asus Turbos are unfortunately based on a custom PCB. Here's the MSI bridge on my reference 970 build.
>>51606390
I sent an email to moddiy specifying the color setup I wanted and they replied with a paypal invoice. I'm very happy with their work.
look at my SUPERIOR RIG

Got my hands on an AMD sempron 3850 and asrock am1 motherboard for $30.01 today. Both brand new in their boxes from Microcenter. Chip was $30 while the board was $35. Their bundle deal automatically deducted $40 off the motherboard lol. Even the cashier was confused. Manager honored the price.
Suffice to say, this is my every machine. Gaming, server storage, etc. Plan on moving this motherboard, cooler, card, PSU and SSDs into a black NZXT S340.
Make my R5 build my file/print server and personal VPN.
>>51588479
Are you going to include that graphic card in the loop any time soon?
I need to take a new photo, I have an Asus GPU 670 now. Stable 100Mhz core clock offset so far. 1149 Mhz overall.
getting a 980ti soon
Just stuffed a 600W power supply into an HP Z400 case, wouldn't recommend it.
I had to build an adapter since the HP board didn't use standard ATX and needed 12V+ on pin 12 and 23 as well as a ground on pin 10.
>>51607903
Sorry, that's a ground on pin 20.
>>51607903
for what fucking purpose? Why do OEM companies make their shit unique special snowflake? Is it all just to milk money from you for servicing fee?
ignore the shitlel cooler
>i'm getting a Be Quiet! Shadow Rock
how can i improve?
>>51607943
>milk money from you for servicing fee
Exactly, why let people fix their products when you can do it for them for a large fee. The 600W HP Power Supply is near $600 last time I looked into it, the 600 that I put in was laying around and the adapter cost $10 for parts and took five minutes to build.

>>51607978
that just burns my ass. You want to toss sub-par parts into a box, mark their worth up 50%, slap your logo on it, and make a profit? fine. Don't fuck everyone over with stupid shit.
>kind of like the nameless machine I worked on for an ancient customer. If the CPU fan was unplugged so you could remove the cooler for a re-paste, you had to flash the CMOS back to stock using a special jumper sequence. Otherwise even after re-installing everything and turning it on, it would forever give you "cpu fan error"
CUNTS I'm mad.
>>51608043
I'm sure they make more on "fixing" broken machines than they do on the initial sale.
>>51602019
ay i know that case. I built my brothers computer in that one.
>>51607554
That's what I figured, thanks for confirming.
>>51607662
specs =/= guts
>>51608057
I doubt it. For most people the thought process is "Whelp, it's broken. Time to buy a new one!" I'm sure the ridiculous service fees are just there to encourage that behavior.
Good tutorials on watercooling?
Good tutorials on optimizing airflow?
>>51609744
watercooling isn't something you can easily cover with a quick tutorial. i recommend singularity computer's youtube channel to learn about watercooling.
airflow is very much common sense and basic physics but here's a video from recent memory.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OmkmluAYAQ
>>51609907
I didn't want a quick tutorial, I wanted good tutorial.
Is there a good text version that I could read? I enjoy tutorials and information in text, old school I guess.
>>51609921
i'm to new school for that. you'll have to google for yourself. but i guess you'll have very good chances on overclock.net
Drug addict's build. Quit weed, finally have a clear head and going to build something aesthetic, CLEAN and high performance.
Starting with the case and PSU tomorrow, slowly accumulating parts for it: pcpartpicker.com/p/bxRyYJ

Don't. That's stupid. Just get all parts at once, otherwise your PC will be already partly outdated when it's finished.
>>51611443
That's retarded.
Best 120/140mm single radiator CLC? Case temps are fairly high in my µATX case with noise dampening. So better get the Hot air out quick.

So who wants to see hot budget builds taken with a hot budget camera?
This build I made for a friend for around $700-ish. And yes that's a GTX 960, but he only wanted to play MGSV and games from last gen.
