What temps CPU/GPU on load?
>>51817450
>>51817422
LOL.
>>51817450
It's a picture from a couple years ago, my builds changed a bit, but load temps would be mid 50s for cpu and mid to high 70s on the 670s.
>>51817422
Good morning.
>>51817541
I'm actually just heading to bed, godspeed anon, beautiful build.

>>51817493
That's really good, nice build btw. I just asked because of the front intakes with the SSD, HDD's. Using high static pressure fans?
>>51817593
>>51817493
it's really fucking bad, cant believe i fell for the nvidia meme.
>tfw i paid 400$ for this shit
This picture is a bit old, haven't had a good camera to take new ones.
I've since changed:
+1 monitor
Changed to only a 1TB 850 EVO
Gotten rid of my optical drive/meme fans/wireless card
Upgraded to a 980ti
Changed to an H100i GTX
>cant believe i fell for the nvidia meme
But the meme is that nvidia sets your house on fire with their 1.7% yields wood screw cards. You should've listened.

Not my mod, stumbled upon it when looking for alternative hdd mounts.
I should have enough fans and want to keep the case quiet. One of the hard drive bays is blocking a lot of airflow that the overclocked gpu could use.
I'll go with attaching a sheet of aluminium or 2 on the back of the motherboard tray.
ayyy
where are all the AMD builds?
god dam you hipsters and your meme card have ruined /g/

Very nice try to take a pic with everything in view pls
Kind of want to buy an 850 evo 500gb m.2. My z97 board cant fully utilize the 950 pro unfortunately.
Also going to overclock my i5 as much as possible. Currently at 4.4ghz @ 1.2v. Think my cooler can be handle my i5 at 1.4v? Its a Thermaltake Frio extreme which is essentially a restamped Silver Arrow.
>>51817422
Here is a photoshopped pic of your machine I saved from a thread ages back OP.
>>51817422
Sweet looking rig. Nice camera too. I like how it's all compact but got a lot in it. The ram, radiator, hose and heat sinks all match. Got that H.R. Giger look.
What's the best place to buy custom cables in Australia? I want to cut them to the right lengths too.
>>51820357
That SATA HBA is absolutely disgusting
>>51820540
It does its job and the whole thing is in a nin windowed R5 case. Handles my RAID 10 setup with no problems. Until Zen launches I'm sticking with my i5 and z97 board which is rather strapped for sata ports. My next board will have at least 10. Gotta make due for now though.
>>51820540
>>51820747
Does that thing really cost $330?
>>51820838
$330? What are you talking about? The raid controller? It is a startech 4 port sata 3 controller. $65.
>>51820868
Yeah. I just binged SATA HBA and it popped up on newegg for 335
>>51820878
Worthwhile. Boots before OS and makes RAID no problem at all.
How much am I going to spend for a custom loop? Doesn't need to be the fanciest but has to be quiet.

You paid $65 for that card? Jesus man, you got ripped off. You can get a VERY good, 8 port LSI 6Gb SAS HBA for sub-$50 now-a days...
>>51821701
Yea. Its what microcenter had on hand. But i always wondered, how does this thing support 8 success with only 2 ports? Does it have like sata splitter or something? And dont LSI cards have like a select lusty of sata drives that will actually work with it?
>>51821773
Your autocorrect is pretty funny
>>51821773
Those connectors are SFF-8087 ones, used very commonly in enterprise kit. It's 4 sas/sata lanes per connector. And the type of drive doesn't matter with cards like this
Look mom I'm posting them again

How is that i5 holding up in current gen games? Rare to see people still running first gen core i5s.

look how terrible this lot is.
>>51822610
Is that motherboard the Z170-AR?
>>51822642
no just the plain jane Z170-A don't get it it's terrible.
>>51822696
Why so? I have the z97 AR. Love my board. Looks awesome, performs awesome. Only $140
Me>>51820357
>>51822555
Pretty good still, no issues reaching 50-60 fps at 2650x1440 on high-very high for most games. Arma suffers a bit but that goes for high end cpu as well. Don't feel like it's a big bottleneck. At stock speed you really notice how old it is though.
>>51822760
it's awkward with RAM as even RAM on the QVL doesn't work out the box, and asus's AI suite kills the USB ports so i can't plug anything in, it makes me wish i didn't save £10 and went for the Z170X-UD3 instead.
but what i can say is that board is a good overclocker though.
>>51820464
what case is this?
>>51820345
And here we go with a brighter picture.
>>51822864
nice but why the TUF logo with with a signature series board?
>>51822871
Old sticker I had lying around when I was using a Sabertooth board.
just got done cobbling this together last night. had to modify the shelf the PSU sits in and re-drill proper ATX-spaced holes to mount the PSU, but it works. HP still couldn't follow standards in 1998.
Case is from a Netserver E60 if anyone cares.
>>51822890
fair enough bruv.
I fucking hate seeing my FPS dip below 120 and I am so close to blowing money on second 980 Ti and a bigger case+motherboard for 1440p gaymen.

http://www.3dmark.com/fs/6191396
this is mine, dont have a very recent pic of it. It still holds up really well though, its not bad enough for me to run out and buy a new cpu/mobo. Would be nice to upgrade for the "because i can" factor, but it really doesnt matter.
Runs almost every game on max still, though thats thanks to the gpu
You guys actually keep your machines this clean or just when you take a picture? If you do regularly have them that clean, how. Even when i use compressed air its not easy to get back to like new.
I AM SO FUCKING READY TO BUY ANOTHER 980TI CONVINCE ME NOT
>>51823576
always keep it clean best way to have low temps.
>>51823639
How often? Need to get myself an air compressor so i can clean it on the cheap.
>>51823700
i need to clean mine weekly just as it gets bunged up with rabbit and cat fur, and i just use my henry as it rips through all the dust and fur.
>>51823029
Pah, could have at least used a nice old case, like a sun ultra 30, that's not even nice-old, just old-old
does the pea method work as well in gpu-thermal paste application?
This pic specifically. Would I have to use a smaller dot since it looks smaller than a standard cpu.
>>51823604

>>51823953

pea works but yeah use less, and it's worth making sure your paste isn't conductive, as you're going straight on to the die instead of a heatspreader.>>51823900

>dem 670s
I can not contain my erection hnnnnnnnnng
>>51824239
Hey you.
I've been wondering.
What kind of load temps do you have?
>>51823576
My R5 case has duat filters everywhere so honestly, I clean out the case maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks. Just using compressed air cans.
>>51824254
During summer GPU with maxed voltage & power target in normal bios averaged around 62°C with Max peak around 65°C. Sometimes 68°C on particularly hot days, but that was with a moderate senpai curve and the absolute hottest I've ever seen it peak.
I just loaded up GTA V and played for 20 minutes to test temps and today I averaged around 58°C with peaks of 60°C with an ambient temp of 70°F (about 21°C). It's normally about 65°C in my house, so maybe subtract a degree or so from those temps.
CPU is clocked at 4.6ghz 1.24v. In synthetics when I validated my OC a few weeks ago was low 60s. 63°C max peak temp iirc. I don't use prime 95 though (because I've found it to be generally unreliable, but that's a whole other can of worms) so I'd imagine temps would be a bit hotter using that.
Real world load (ie gaming) Lowest core usually peaks about 56°C, hottest peaks about 60°C after going for an hour or two. Normal temps around 54-57°C in most games I think.
I'm sorry that this is long winded and scatterbrained. I never made notes of my temps in notepad or anything so I'm going all by memory.
>>51824886
That's really great. I wonder what temp your VRMs and other components average at in such a small build. Those temps are pretty awesome though.
>>51824976
Vreg temps in OCCT show 44°C right now after letting it run a CPU & GPU test for a little while. I don't really recall it ever popping up any red flags on my head even during summer to be honest. But, I'll pay closer attention and next guts thread I'll post my results.

Hey /guts/. I'm going to sleeve some cables soon. Some of the cables coming out from my psu are bundled together and already sleeved in a black material. I'm going to put white sleeving over it. Will I have to remove the connectors at the end in order to get the sleeve over it? Would hate if I had to remove the connectors.
>>51826713
Yes
>>51824134
I have the prolimatech paste that came with my cooler. I checked the site and it's non conductive. I guess I'll go with this. Thanks.
>>51817662
I remember you bitching about the screws on your GPUs in another thread. Take the ones from the back of the top GPU and swap them with the ones from the bottom GPU, or vice versa.

Here are the guts where I really didn't give a fuck on my 2500k at my parents place which I use once a month
poo in the loo
>>51830510
and here is my Xeon L5640 server, where I actually gave a fuck, but with the hot swap bays and the too short Sata cables and the SAS mess, I gave up. Also the fuckhuge board is covering up all my cable management options to towards the drivebays.
Fractal Define R2 XL btw
I will use cable binder next time I shut it down though.

Oc question
Offset mode or manuel mode ?
Any big difference at the end of the day ?
>>51831884
Manual to find your OC speed & voltage settings and stability validation. Then use those settings in offset/adaptive afterwards so you can take advantage of speed stepping.
>>51832190
I should add. That being said, many people do it all in adaptive mode with no trouble.
But that's not the "/g/ approved" way to do it.
>>51832190
Thank you. I will look more into it.

>>51832249
I don't think that's an AIO, just a regular EK CPU block.
I need better cable management
>>51832820
question, why haven't you added a backplate?
>>51832843
Haven't gotten around purchasing one yet.
>>51832249
Not the EK AIO, it's just the EK block. I don't think the EK AIO would be suited for my loop, luckily the D5 doesn't have to run very hard, but it's still at like 50-60% for proper flow.

Fine, I'll post.
I just snapped this pic, sorry for shit lighting.
R9 270X card, AMD FX 8350 Vishera 4.0 GHz 16 gigs of RAM. Fractal Design XL R2 case. Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler with 2 Corsair fans.
Absolutely love the case, don't plan on changing it unless something breaks on it or whatever or I build something gorgeous and want a window again..
Build is about 3 years old now.
Future plans are:
-Dedicated fan controller for the 7 case fans, possibly upgrade all fans to higher output units as they are super quiet right now
-Upgrade GPU to R9 390X, maybe eventually work out cross fire, have not decided on running single vs dual GPU post-upgrade.
I know it's dusty, I need to give it a really good cleanout.
>>51821284
Ayy fractal bro. Is that an R4 or R5?
>>51833279
Jesus dude, you got enough fans? Cringe
>>51833351
What's wrong with fans again? Is there a reason we don't like fans?
Poor man guts
>>51832820
and get rid of that pointless bottom fan too.
>>51830536

ah, the FT02 meme. gigantic fucking case that can barely fit shit in it. I'm so glad I sold mine.
>>51829971
holy shit, somebody actually bought those stick coolers? I'm not kidding I've literally never seen one in the wild they're just so memetastic
>>51833395
too many fans is just a waste of electricity and clutters your case. and makes noise. and moves more dust around etc.
it's like a common mistake first time builders make though. put fucking fans everywhere. can't fit a fan there? better buy an 80mm... kek.
Anyone else remember this fag?
>>51829971
wtf is going on with those fans on the radiator ?
Why not keep both of them inside the case ?

I got a R9 390 bro I need all the air I can get
Also there is another fan hiding around the other side that you cant see
I got them running on PWM through a silverstone fan hub so they control quite well with my X99-A mobo
>Why, tell me why you waste your money on fans when you can save it for something else, lets say a better PSU for example.

AIO cooler users, how loud is your pump?
Mine is currently quite loud even at 70% speed.
How low can one go without worrying about the waterflow not actually flowing?
>>51836276
Just think, you can make the noctua fans look even better now.
>>51839500

>>51820414
>>51821284
Is it actually better for the temps of the GPU to put the soundcard under the GPU not in the slot over it?
>>51839154
>How loud is your pump?
I currrently have a h110i gtx and i have too admit mine is at 66% atm and louder than my noctua nf a 14 running around 500rpm
>>51839642
Yeah it's really loud.
All the reviews I read for mine said it was quiet. But I guess those people run 6000rpm fans.
>>51839678
Haha that´s true.
If i had used the normal fans that come with the aio i wouldn´t hear a single rattle from the because they are like Jetturbines(although they would be pretty okaish if they weren´t that loud).
Which aftermarket fans do you use?
>>51817422
Yupyup.
>>51839810
I got the cooler and case from Fractal Design, so it's their GP12/14 fans since they come with the case and cooler. Also white/black to match the rest of the case.
The fans are currently at 400rpm, basically turned off. So the pumps high pitched noise is killing the whole idea of a silent system.
I guess I'll try running the pump at very low for a few days and go by the temps.
>>51839857
Yeah i think it isnt too much the loudness of the pump it´s more this high pitched noise that is freaking me out.
Yeah that would be an good idea but unfortunately i can´t go further down with the pumps rpm.
I´m even thinking about getting the noctua D-15.
>>51830542

How much in general does a second GPU add to games

Does anyone have the picture of the sleeper guts in the beige/offwhite old style case with the sound dampening?
Much obliged.

anywhere from 0-60% increase
>>51817422
How you finding the GTX 670s OP? I'm just on the one and everything still runs pretty well.
>>51842615
It's not a completely illogical loop and really doesn't look bad at all. The only thing I could see that could be changed is to rotate the top rad and have it connected straight to the bay res/pump and then to the CPU block.
>>51836276
that is SEXY AS FUCK

I miss the look of having 2 gpus, though. That was pretty sexy.
>>51817422
>being so much of a ricer that you print out shitty labels for your PSU so your colors match
Pretty sad desu senpai
next upgrade will be psu.
after that probably ssd and gpu when pascal/arctic islands are released.
Do you guys think this is an ATX sized case? Does the psu look normal ATX size? I want to do a sleeper build.
gonna get a new gpu soon. it's kinda messy but I can't see it anyway because mesh door.
>>51839154
Have never heard it. I wear headphones. The only time I've ever heard anything from my computational internals is when running AIDA 64 100% CPU/GPU load. By then its the fans I hear, not my pump. Outside of synthetic 100% load tests I cannot hear my PC ever.
Are there any cheap modular power supplies? It doesn't have to be fully modular, the thing is though, I only need mobo, cpu, a 6 pin and 2 sata power and about 450-500 watts, but currently from my old build, I have a 900watt psu that isn't modular, and being that high wattage theres enough cables running off it to run 2 computers just about.
It would make my guts look 10x better to have no spaghetti but I can't find any reasonably priced stuff.
