>>52088141
Maybe you can enlighten me, but why the hell do you guys buy these big ass bulky coolers for your CPUs? I mean, in my experience the stock OEM cooler has always been more than sufficient to keep the CPU cool unless you are overclocking to retarded levels. Doesn't those big ass coolers fuck with the air flow in the case?
i need to replace the spaghetti power cable already...

>maybe b8 but I'll bite
Stock coolers of today are nothing. They usually are just enough to handle the chip at bone stock and still be noisy while doing so. My i5 is barely overclocked. (4.4ghz @ 1.2v). Stock for this chip was 3.5ghz @ max of 1.050v. This small voltage increase was enough to make the chip exceed the stock cooler during gaming load let alone super intensive loads like encoding would do. My big bulky cooler dropped temps by 35C and is much quieter. "Crazy" overclock would be pushing 1.4v+
>Although a "stock" cooler from the Pentium 4 days using a bracket kits to fit lga 1150 would make a kick ass cooler.
As for fucking with airflow, no. So long as you set up the fans i nthe case and o nthe cooler properly so there is no conflicting airflow, everything is fine. In the OP's pic, the big fans on the bottom pull air in from the bottom of the case and feeds the CPU cooler which then vents it out the top. Silverstone case If I'm not mistaken.
Anyhow, actually early to guts for once! Filled all 8 drive bays edition

how are quad 2gb 680's holding up in current gaming? What resolution do you play at? I remember wanting a 690 so bad but found out that you could get 2 standalone 4gb gtx 680's for half the price of a single 690 (which was only 2x2gb 680 chips).
>>52088781
are you seriously liquid cooling a locked i5? And a GTX 970? What a waste of money and time.
>>52088869
Thanks
>>52088809
Can't speak for him but my 2 680s with 2GB are really starting to feel the strain at 1440P
>>52088781
>>52088141
I recognize those parts
>>52088869
It's not for performance, smartass. It's because this case has basically no airflow. And also just for fun.
>>52088990
Best case. I see you put fans in the top as well. I don't for the life of me understand why they don't come with top fan holes from the factory.
Rate if you would like.

>Best case. I see you put fans in the top as well. I don't for the life of me understand why they don't come with top fan holes from the factory.
They do for the mATX version
Here's to hoping they'll do a proper mITX version. The bracket for the PSU can also be smaller.
It's a decent case that rivals the ncase m1 in functionality. Just don't ask how I got that cpu cooler in there.
Didnt even know there was all the dust until I took this picture
A part of me likes windowed cases. I don't have one because I'm not a manchild, but I do think naked guts are beautiful
But shields to hide PSU/HDDs/clutter, smoked glass to make imperfections stick out less, and autistically color-matched components are all gay as fuck. The beauty is in that a machine is just a machine, not a consumerist product a 14 y/o made his mom pay $50 more for a red mobo to assemble
Should I upgrade to windows 10? I understand /g/ is basically a board for linux and I see all these linux faggots posting proof that microsoft spies on you and has multiple shills, but frankly this isn't that scary since I'm not some pedofag from /b/ and I'm not Ahmed communicating with islamic state. I see all this anti windows 10, but then when I look at 'guts' threads with these cool looking computers I always see "Windows 10 Pro 64 bit" on the speccy. Are they just using it to run linux?

Case is a housefire waiting to happen. Because of size limitations you have to mount the radiator in the front, but the problem now is you can't put intake fans in the front because the radiator blows against the front panel and reflects hot air back inside if you put a fan below it.
I'm running a shitty antec 650 cooler, I've been thinking of upgrading to some noctua cooler or maybe even a 212 evo, that way I can load the front up with at least 2 intake fans and cooling problems will be a thing of the past. Right now my R9 390X is going up to 86c under load. It drops to 75 when I take the front panel off.
Not a good case for liquid cooling. Looks cool but I wouldn't buy it again.
>>52090045
>I've been thinking of upgrading to some noctua cooler or maybe even a 212 evo
Do it. I have no clue how closed loops have become so popular lately. They're louder than air coolers because of pump noise and don't even perform better. At least a custom loop has benefits.

My other compoopers. Upper one is collection of old parts, recently upgraded its C2D E6750 to a C2Q Q8300. Overclocked it to 3ghz, got 8gb of DDR2 for it and today an SSD. Before, it was using an old SATA HDD from 2006, Battlefield 4 would struggle to keep 30. Now, with the SSD it runs at 60 (vsync, 40 in clusterfucks) with high settings. GPU is an old 7870.
Very happy with the results.
>>52090105
I fell for the meme. I don't really mind the loud noise but this just isn't very efficient at cooling the CPU and most importantly it messes up the airflow.
>>52088809
Still maxes most games. A lot of power.

>>52090045
You are full fucking retard to think something is wrong with this case.
>>52090341
I'm not seriously suggesting it's bad. I kinda assumed people would take the housefire meme as a joke.
Lets say that a closed loop liquid cooling system doesn't bring out the best of this case.
>>52090045
>>52090489
It would be fine if you were using a cooler that actually worked properly with the case's airflow. As is, you've got both the rear fan and AIO as exhaust, so obviously it's not going to work that well.

Where can I find Power Supply Cables like these? They look fantastic.
inb4 CLC hate brigade
Only reason I went with an h100i is because the 250d was designed around it. I really wish Noctua would stop being cunts and release some SP optimized 120mm redux fans. I refuse to buy poofans for my radiator.
>>52090798
cablemod
>>52090798
Some manufacturers like EVGA and corsair have their own cable kits like those. Also cablemod and some other places sell them. You can also buy extensions that fit on the ends of your existing cables. They're not as expensive, and if you do good cable management they can look great, but some people really hate them.
Everything about my build was mostly a mistake.

Share your thoughts. I see a good cooler and PSU, RAM is a bit gaymer tier but I assume there's 8gb of it so that's good too.

Did they give a reason why they didn't?
I used the high CFL versions in my case but I'd love to replace my nh-d14 fans with greys.
>>52090925
>You can also buy extensions that fit on the ends of your existing cables.
That increases resistance in the wires and could break ATX spec fyi
>>52091170
I said you can, not you should.
>>52091154
Not that I know of. I assume it's because they know their 120mm SP fans are their best sellers and they don't want to cannibalize sales on them. Makes sense, but it's really shitty of them.
>>52091170
The little bit of resistance it would add is absolutely negligible unless you're pushing an absolutely exorbitant amount of power through them. Odds are that 95% of people aren't. Extensions are perfectly fine.
>>52091305
They also add inductance.
I'm just saying you should be aware that the delivered voltage at the end of your cable will respond slower to current changes and be lower then what the PSU is producing. It could be the cause of a vague problem that causes resets for example.
But hey anything to show off your guts :^)
>>52091341
It can also fuck with the ripple and cause shit overclocks.
>>52091150
speccy doesn't read AMD shit right. AIO was 30 bucks on black friday and you can't put a regular 120 heatsink on it. GPU fans turn on at 70c.
Here is mine, please rate
Seems like that would only be an issue with shitty PSUs though.
>>52091452
I'm pretty sure those are correct temps anon
The sensors on the motherboard are usually bad, not the GPU.
>>52091551
Meant for
>>52091341
>>52091420
>>52091551
>>52091577
No, it's simple physics. That's how any PSU would work. Shorter cable = better. Thicker cable = better.
You can sort of view inductance as cable length and pretend electricity has a speed (not literally true). The feedback to the PSU is slower if you have longer cables so it doesn't respond fast enough to your needs, causing rippling. This is analogous to physical control systems like a PID controller that gets it's feedback too slow.
Longer cables also mean higher resistance because more cabling to go through and also the connector in between.
From an electrical POV it's incredibly bad practice.

Case comes in on Wednesday. I'm excited, it should make for a fun project before my vacation ends.
liquid cooling is cool looking and all, but completely useless unless you're benchmarking.
I have a feeling most of you don't benchmark either

Nice setup.
I got the same case and I'm wondering where is the best placement for your HDD? I only have 1 HDD and was wondering which 3 position is best (top, mid, or bottom) in terms of cooling, noise, and easy cable management for the back.
>>52096279 I just re-assembled it and it sags way less, I'm pretty sure my gpu is twice as heavy as yours ;^)
>>52096284
Depends on your motherboard's sata connections, It really doesn't matter. They stay pretty cool, and they all have even amounts of sound dampening material in the back cover.

I don't even remeber any more, all I know is after installing Windows 10, it started detecting my 16GB RAM as 8GB. Even spec software shows it as 4 sticks of 2GB, only UEFI reads each stick as 4GB.
>>52096554
disassemble the gpu cooler, and paint the plastic blue to match your case.
>>52096484
Considering how old this build is, I'm not too worried. I did tighten up and tweak the zipties and cables while I was in there.
FYI I dusted it with a 240v blower vac.

Who said I'm running it from a mechanical drive? That's the storage, The SSD is on the backside attached to the space between the back plate and panel with cable management going around it.

RAM light and the waterblock light are actually the same at full brightness, but Cougar Vortex PWM only come in orange and the Define S *barely* has room for the 140mm in the back that only that specific 140mm will fit with the Swiftech rad. Asrock's light blue makes me sad too though.

What do you think of my ~400€ build for use in my dorm? Made it since the percentage of desktops stolen in dorms is way way lower than laptops, also it's very hard to steal something bolted to the ground (will lock the side panel with a padlock too.) Not only that, but it looks like utter shit from the outside, I even put the AMD Athlon sticker on it.
>inb4 GTX 950
It was a really good deal at the time I bought it and it over clocks to stock GTX 960 levels, also its really silent.
>>52102265
Doesn't that stuff makes it hotter?
Looks p good but wondering if it makes the case warmer then normal
>>52102293
It's basically armaflex, but it shouldn't make it hotter since there is quite good airflow, since there is a mesh in the front, which will get a 120mm fan in a few days time. I mean I guess there could be a few degrees difference, but considering the temps others get with the GTX 950 mine does not go not one bit above, and it's overclocked, the X4 860K does go to 80°C when under a stress test, but it is also overclocked and the cooler for it is not a very high end solution, the stock cooled ones go to 90°C, I should see much better temps when I put an EK Vadar in the front, but in the end, it's very silent even under load, a 60FPS in all games when medium-high and all that for the price of a console.
>>52101607
Nope, it was all fine as far as I remember. There are two sets of holes on the mounting bracket though, so it's likely they just didn't use the right ones and complained about it.
The 250d was pretty much designed specifically to fit the h100i perfectly.

Hi, I'm pretty sure the 212 comes with a clip to add a second fan. That or I used one from a previous cooler, I can't recall.
I just upgraded to 2011. Had to buy a completely new CPU block because I was missing the fucking mount screws for 2011. But it ended up looking better so I'm happy.
