I promised this yesterday, but it took too long getting stuff together.
Here we go!
I'm reusing my old Antec 900 case. Speaking of which...

wew lad
The i7 920 I took out of this case occasionally had some problems with my poor case cut for a clean wire look. It caused it not to boot with a fan wire going to ground. Here is it before before the c-channel moulding....
>>51672310
What's wrong with carpets?
be certain that you wear socks and shuffle your feet a lot while putting this together, it helps reduce the possibility of static electricity build up which can damage your parts.
>>51672354
static, concrete is the only /g/ approved floor material
>>51672361
Come on, I don't think OP is THAT stupid
>>51672280
what graphics card family
Now after the c-channel. I just did this before posting the thread. Took 5 minutes.
Up next is installing the cpu in the new motherboard...
>>51672383
I'm reusing my HD 7870 myst.
Also I added USB 3 to the case.
These little covers are a pain.
Last night I actually bent two cpu pins, but I managed to fix them.
Push down on the lever enough to get it out of the little holder.
>>51672370
I live in a tropical country with very high humidity trough the year, is static electricity still an issue?
Pull the whole thing back and remove the cover. Watch those pins! If not Intel master race, then AMD has pins on the cpu.
Could you go any fucking slower OP? jesus fucking christ.
Also post more pictures of bird please.
>>51672574
>motherboard on carpet.
OP NO
>>51672594
IT"S TOO LATE
IT WAS ALWAYS TOO LATE
>>51672551
Are you getting shocked around the house? If yes don't build a pc that day.
>>51672577
How do you suggest to build a pc quickly?
Next up. Place the cpu. This is an Intel lga 1151 chip. Both Intel and amd have a little symbol to match. Match the big triangle with the cpu triangle.
Doing this on carpet because you guys sounded like it was bad.
>>51672370
or just use the cardboard boxes that all the components come in.
>>51672574
>>51672375
OP IS THAT STUPID
>>51672551
dont wear socks, and keep touching grounded metal objects such as radiators. dont work on carpet. work on wood/concrete.
Close the lid.
This can be dangerous with the next step.

He's sleepy.
When you push the rod down be careful. No matter If you are a novice or pro this makes people nervous.
>>51672737
awwwwwww rest well sleepy lil budgie
Next we move to the bathroom....
>>51672701
Not OP but here's a pic of my budgie
>>51672769
he looks happy and poofy. this pleases me.
Another pic of my budgie, she was standing on my knee
>it's actually on the carpet
Jesus Christ OP I didn't actually think you were a retard.
>>51672769
Nice bird. I hate when people don't let their birds fly around and play. You better not be them or I'm coming for you...
Moving on.
I did a bench test and know the system works. If you use the Intel stock cooler. Clean this junk off!
>>51672810
what is birbs name?
>>51672551
Ese in tropical climates carpets are a big no no.
Don't you have a wooden/concrete floor? Anyway if you live in a place with a carpet floor you have easy access to some form of grounding material. Good choices are plugged in PSU or your case.
>>51672839
I was about to go to bed, but I'm staying up for this.

>>51672850
>>51672810 <<< yeah I let her out be she's always very aggressive with me :c but after I take her out she doesn't want to go back in the cage anymore c: sometimes when I sing to her she closes her eyes and moves her head which is kind of cute. However, a few nights ago she lost her balance and fell of her swing in the dark so she started panicking and hitting the cage. By the time I went downstairs and turned on the light she lost a few flight feathers and couldn't fly properly. She almost hit the TV when I let her fly.
>>51672839

>>51672850
Poncho.
Next dry it off with a towel.
Try not to get the fan motor wet.
Clean with qtips. Should use alcohol, but water is fine.
>tfw OP will probably use a truckload of thermal paste and use the credit card method or his own fucking fingers
>>51672931
WATER IS NOT FINE!
ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?!
WATER AND ELECTRONICS DO NOT FUCKING MIX!
Hey OP, its the guy with the budgie, don't let your Poncho near the PC parts. They are dusty and they can irritate Poncho's nose.
>>51672839
TRIGGERED.
>>51672931
Hi poncho
Next up ddr4 RAM.
Match the colors if installing two sticks. Some boards require certain slots. Read the manual.

>>51673068
I put a pubic hair on the cpu for you.
Next up is thermal paste!

did you know that thermal paste works best when mixed with just a tiny bit of pasta. it's something to do with thermal impedance matching
why's carpet bad
>>51673247
It isn't. Please continue.
>>51673201
god damn it why do you have to give me cancer.
Take off cap from thermal paste. Pull back on syringe to unstick.
>>51672960
Discharged electronics senpai.
It'll be fine.
Jizz some out in a kleenex incase it is watery in the beginning.
>this thread
Here is the money shot. I like the line method and it doesn't have to be perfect. Some will say I'm using too much. Others will say the cpu isn't a rectangle and you should use a cross or a circle dab. But here we are.
In the end who cares. It isn't even a k processor that can overclock. I've done that in the past and it isn't worth it.
>>51673489
Use your cum as thermal paste
Next step is find your cpu power pin on the motherboard. Plug it in. We do this so you get the wire routed right to put on the heat sink.
>>51673489
as someone who worked at a company that made semiconductor devices who had to deal with all of the companies down the supply chain that didn't teach their factory workers how to properly apply thermal paste, FUCK YOU
as an individual, i like your laissez-faire attitude
Next step is align two pin holes. Keep the heat sink off the cpu until you figure where you want it.
Seat it nice and flat. You don't want paste on one side and none on the other.
>>51673110
stop
please
Keep the bird away when you power up that system. Magic smoke kills birds.
You are late, OP.
I've already built mine... and waiting for the 6700K to be delivered at the shop.
soon
>>51673660
Meet the M.2 drive. $200.
Next step is pushing in those pins.
>>51673642
This is best heatsink for the job. You're doing well my son.

it's so tiny, don't hurt it you monster
You can see the little plastic spacers and pins on the back pushed through.
Rich. Hardly.
Remove the M.2 screw. Also be sure your cpu fan can spin and not hit any wires. Cable management isn't important at the moment.
M.2 goes in at an angle. Didn't this at first and it makes a harsh seating sound.
>>51673983
Whats that stick called?
Here it is screwed in.
I would have done OP's build with the i5-6600, 8gb ddr4, and an H170 mATX/ATX all for $350 at the moment. Extra $20 for Hyper 212 evo.
Next remove carpet and bird droppings from bottom of motherboard and get case up on a desk because my back and knees hurt.
>>51674047

Next we put in the new thing a ma bob.
>>51673138
hey buddy you gonna solder that cpu?
>>51674124
I love this thread.
>>51674087
H170 is just cheaper and the stock cooler sucks if you're going to use OC.
>tfw I'm jealous because I bought Haswell instead
>>51674127
No I'm not going to solder my bird, you sicko.
Next put in your standoffs in the case to match the motherboard holes. Put it in place. Don't screw down yet...
>>51674230
Needs more Tabasco
>>51674225
I bought a 4790k and skylake fags can shit on themselves.
>willingly paying extra for muh z170, and ddr4 ram for literally no gains
Now we are going to put the modular psu in. Not screwing down the motherboard yet may help with cable management later.
Buy OP's build today! $345.97
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kqLZNG
Does anyone else have issues with I/O Shields and motherboards not quite lining up? This has been an issue for me for the last three builds I've done.
>>51674258
If you want good m.2 compatibility then you should go z170, but enjoy your obsolete platform.
Put psu in case. Fan goes up if at bottom of case. You can screw this in.
>>51674296
Quit buying shit cases m8
>>51674323
So, no more Cooler Master or NZXT cases? And to think, I liked their designs...
>>51672280
>Ultra Durable™
kek'd
>>51674321
My ASRock Extreme6 has pretty good m.2 compatibility.
But nice job attempting to justify your own purchase to yourself there buddy.
>Obsolete
I think you might be mistaking my platform with Ivy and sandy or perhaps what ever it was AMD shit out a few years ago that people still use.
z97 is still alive and well.
But thanks, because of idiots like you who look at the shiny pretty graphics and want the latest and greatest, actual intelligent people who want to build computers get better prices on hardware that's just as good if not better than the supposed "New and Better" shit you people keep demanding to have.
>z170 comes out
>everything z97 drops in price
>z170 literally no different from z97 except for price
Thanks intel!
>>51674258
Yeah that's exactly what I thought when I paid $335 for a 4690/Z97/8gb two weeks ago. OP's build is $10 more but you get 10% gain in performance and extra PCIe 3.0 slot.
Four screws for holes.
>get it
>no
>hint
>spelling intentional
Why am taking this pic?
No problems with io shield lining up.
>that's what it's called
>I knew that
>I swear
>>51674401
>you get 10% gain in performance
More like 3%.
>>51674413
More like 2% loss in performance for single-threaded tasks.
>>51674413
4690K, but not the locked one. Still 6600 is cheaper than both.
>>51674362
Not lining up? Sounds like a personal problem mate. Ive used nzxt and cooler master cases since i started building and have never had an issue.
Question guys. Currently have an i5-4690k. I can return the cpu fit full price of $200 ( based microcenter warranty). Plan on getting an i7-4790k and 32gb ddr3 2400mhz. Plus a 500gb 850 evo m.2 ssd. All in all this whole new setup will cost me $400. With it? I actually do need the extra cpu threads. But i mean longevity wise. Is ddr4 something everyone should have or will ddr3 2400 suffice for another 4 or so years?
Im not against spending money, but don't like spending for no reason either. It is either this or a 5820k, x99 sabertooth, and 16gb of ddr4 3000 for $550 total.
>>51674296
you press them in all the way around? the visual lineup from the interior doesn't matter.
>>51674452
5820k and X99, since the Skylake-Es will also run on X99 boards and the replacement isn't due until 2017.
>>51674464
The shield? Yeah, I make certain the entire shield is flush.
Plugged in motherboard and cpu cable. Magic is causing them to go straight through the case. Magic I say!
That was a pain in the back!
Motherboard and cpu power connected and looks good.
>>51674258
Got a 6700k, Z170A krait, 16gb 3200 Tidents, nzxt 450, and 2x 250gb evo for $600.
Feels good man.
Using old motherboard screws. They are on my dusty college diplomas, close to the tears of failure. Below the i7 board.
So this is what I'm looking at for
>5820k
>Asus x99 saberkitty
>4x4gb corsair lp vengeance ddr4 3000mhz
>Samsung 512gb 950 pro
Not including various warranties. Deduct $320 because I'll be getting that much in store credit from returning my existing z97 board an i5.
I don't want or need 32gb of ram. I barely use the 8gb I have no bu 2gb ddr4 modules are hard to come by and I want to 4 sticks to utilize quad channel memory.
Cooler will be either an H80i GT for $100 or a hyper 212 EVO placeholder while I decide on good air cooler from newegg.
Screws in. Back really hurting. Need more soup for strength! Be back after the break.

I'm actually not sure what type of hair it was. It was on the carpet.
Getting an SSD was the best purchase I have ever made. You can instantly tell the difference. Installing Windows took less than 10 minutes and it boots up in less than 10 seconds.
Okay break over. Going to just do bare minimum to get it to run plus one other thing.
Optical audio, USB, audio, power bar thingy, and gpu. Plus fans.
Not counting hard drive light, cause funk the police. Also I needed a 5 volt pin for my optical audio out, so I used a USB 2 I won't be using.
gud bild
>>51675284
The ice cream really makes the build!
Next I gotta just plug in more cables.
Bird you can't build computer
It doesn't go there!
Got it in. Basically plug and play. If by plug and play you mean it fits in the pciex16 slot, then you screw the card in and add power.
Still got to get power. Should be ready to power the system up soon.

>>51675914
Analyzing.
Not the power switch. I took it off and used a paper clip to start it with the pins.
Thinking graphics card. I'll take it out and try integrated graphics.
dude if it powers on it's pretty much not the power switch. hook up your fucking POST speaker to the appropriate pinout on your motherboard. The motherboard will tell you what's wrong.
>>51675943

>>51675967
But that takes all the fun away!
It works with the integrated graphics.
Something with the gpu. Also my one case fan looks like it is low on power.
When I got up this morning I never would have imagined I would be where I'm at today.

>>51676015
is that a u2414h? If so, do you like it?
>>51676753
It was either that or the gpu wasn't in good enough. Does make me wonder what happens when you use a xeon chip and it has that setting. I'm tired now. Thread can do. I did my duty for king and country.
>>51676258

>>51676780
Great picture, nice look, love the small bezel.
Bad is the touch screen buttons. I don't like the hole for cables. Also it was blinking on and off on occasion, but I can't figure out the cause. May have been a bad psu with my gpu losing power. Hence the new pc.
I can't post anymore. Captcha too hard.
