also this hunkajunk is getting an upgrade to some quadcore Opterons. yay.
thinking about m2 ~500 gb ssd, could ditch hdd that way, but they are still a bit too expensive.
might add a fan on front too, just need to see how hot this card will get over the next few days.
I'm early because I didn't get rated last time.
changes not in picture but will be tomorrow: 500gb 850 evo just arrived, two 140s up top, and removed optical. will update tomorrow fo shizzle

that's the spirit. Hyper 212 Evo barely fit in 100R case with window by just mm. I imagine the silent one doesn't cooperate with the thick sound padding material. almost had to grind the heat pipe nibs.
>>52150349
Should be better now.
>>52150880
Pull your front I/O cables taut. Tuck your fan cables in. Use that hole over the back left of your PSU (from this pictures perspective) to run your front USB connection through. Optional run the other front I/O cables through there too if they're long enough.
I came this close to buying a pair of 970s on sale today. EVGA reference models that would have fit under the same blocks as my current 670s. They were listed for $330 CAD, over $100 off. I took a few hours to think about it, came back, and the price had changed to just $20 off. Looks like Pascal and new blocks for my next upgrade.
>>52148213
Dat cooler
>>52150560
I'm dremeling the shit out of this case.
The radiator didn't fit in either direction so I had to cut and drill a bit.
Put a fan controller in the top of the case as well, and trying to decide if I'm gonna put some fans in the top.
>>52151076
Much better. Thanks
>>52143274
ive always wanted to do that with an old biege case but how do i keep a fucking fx-8350 and an r9 280x cool in something like that?
>>52151638
Two choices:
1. Liquid cooling if you can fit it.
or
2. Chain it to the floor and fill it with fans.
Can I play?

My GPU is vertical, so I couldn't put one on it if I tried haha.. If it's not too heavy I'm sure it wouldn't matter, but yours seems like it would be due to the size.
And I do like the zalmans (if it came across like I didn't). They just have a tendency to do things that are a bit... Well... Wacky. Much like a kooky genius grandpa would be. Pic related.
>>52150471
Why is there a heatsink in the dremel kit?
>>52152448
It's not a heatsink.
Shit picture here. I'll clean everything up when I decide what colour cables I want in there. Thinking of going for a noctua colour.
>>52152176
>next iteration is going to be an X58 board with a Xeon X5650. should be fine. case has more than enough airflow in the current state of things.
Sweet. Feels /comfy/ knowing original system didn't die for the mod. I like the blue LED - modern enough to alert the eye of someone who knows it's not period, but the case is so retro nobody would suspect what's under the hood.
You should be fine with airflow. I run X5660 at 4GHz in an Addtronics. 2x80mm intake, ran hot, drilled sheet metal to accomodate 2x60mm exhaust directly behind NH-U12P dual 120mm Poofan on CPU, and I can't get it to go over 75C. The 80mm and 60mm are low-speed fans, maybe 50cfm in and 30cfm out. Maybe a few extra cfm from video card, to which I've ducted the lower fan.
>>52151437
What temps are you getting under load with those gpu's?

Truth be told I enjoyed building the pc more than using it. What's next? My Firestrike score is ~9500, says the CPU is holding it back. Is there a single GPU coming out that can handle 4K gaming with ease?
>>52151214
How's the Monsta? Thinking of getting single 120 of it for my itx rig.
>>52152363
Have the exact same case, but where's the pump and rez for the Poseidon?
>>52156537
5920/5930/5960x.
For the most part it's your GPU holding you back, not your CPU. Unless you're playin low end titles (like CSGO/Dota2) don't expect to get good 4k performance on a 970.
Not my guts but it's my case. Will post guts next week when I get new parts installed. But I do have a question. I have the case in the pic and I'm wanting to remove the top disk drive bay but it doesn't seem to be removable. Anyone with a corsair 750D case remove theirs?
>>52157140
Looks like it's riveted at least. Not rocket science to drill them out but probably not worth it
>>52157181
Yeah that was my guess too. Not sure what I can do with it except let it sit there empty and pointlessly.
>>52157104
I don't my goal for this rig was ultra settings at 1080p which is does pretty well. From my understanding dual 970s is pushing it for 4K so I'm holding off.
I had to remove a GPU due to what I assume is my PSU shitting the bed. 800what's should be enough for two 7950s but the "random" reboots when under load have been becoming more and more frequent. Its stable so far with one GPU, I can only assume it has lost efficiency over the years. Too depressed to take another picture w/o the crossfire.

>>52157273
Dual 970's is right around a single 980ti plus or minus 1-2% in optimal scenarios. Keep in mind SLI is still not supported in all games and may never be. SLI is only nice when it works. You're truly better off just getting a single 980ti if 2160/1440p is your desire. Pic related is "optimal" SLI. Though even then the second card is only adding about a 60% performance increase. We'll see what DX12 brings for SLI/Xfire but the old statement still holds true for now. A more powerful single card solution is almost always better than SLI/Xfire.

Also clean up all of that fucking spaghetti. This is /guts/, not /ck/
>>52157994
Thanks I've been eyeing the 980ti. That's the best card out atm right? Very true about games not supporting SLI... still I imagine they're awesome in some instances. If I got the 980ti would you recommend making any other hardware changes to match the GPU. More memory, different CPU? At least I'm ready for Oculus!
>>52158799
>posting a furry OC sparkledog
>>52158848
Just the GPU. 4690k is fine for years to come. 16 GB RAM is fine. And micro stutters with SLI are not cool. Seriously, don't do SLI 970's. A single 980 TI costs less and performs much better.
>>52158070
Garbage case.
>>52158770
5820k with 4,5GHz oc, no problems at all so far, PSU fan hardly revs up on load, these things are built to exceed the specs most of the time to comply with the ratings and stability demands!
Still would have taken a larger one if i knew i was going to end up with dual 980Ti in the end.
>>52158983
Run linx+furmark. Pretty sure it'll exceed your psu capabilities.
>>52159040
Not going to ask for trouble just for fun, i know well that there are limitations to this configuration, thankfully no game so far does put that kind of load on both gpu and cpu at the same time.
Going to get a new PSU when Pascal hits the shelves!

went and bought a few things today for my mitx build. This was the before.
>>52163476
The wires would occasionally get moved around a little and sometimes the cooler fan would hit it. Bought a Cooler Master GeminII and new SFX PSU. Made things so much easier. Not to mention quieter.
>>52163476
>>52163505
Looks much better. How do you like the SFX PSU? I just got gifted the 500W from SilverStone over the holidays. It's going into an NCase M1.
>>52143274
Oh, while we're at it, what's a good old-looking case that would have no problem with upgradability and such, like OP's image?
>>52163526
It's awesome. Honestly SFX psu's should be like the de-facto standard for anyone building Mitx. There was a 300w version but wasn't modular. Got this Gold cert 450w modular version for $100. Pricy but worth it.
A review on newegg said the guy was running a gtx-970 and 5820k on this 450w so my pentium build should be fine for many years to come.
pic is my main PC
>>52163586
That's fair, 450W with those requirements. I planned my build (5930K & 970) and got the 500W. I agree, SFX should be the standard. That's what's holding back most ITX cases I feel like.
Honestly, most single-GPU PC's don't even pull 375W from the wall. But it's still goo to have some headroom for the PSU's sake.
What do you need all the storage for?
>>52163659
from top to bottom is 120gb boot ssd, 250gb ssd as dedicated Linux drive (for some reason when they share a drive, Windows keeps eating Linux's ethernet driver).
500gb SSD as dedicated game drive, 4x1TB harddrives in RAID 10 with that little controller, and a single 2TB HDD for storage. RAID is used as a mix of workspace and storage I feel needs redundancy.
The RAID setup and 2TB drive is backed up to an external 4TB.
>>52163720
oh and I didn't answer your question. Storage is for games, I rip and encode blu-rays myself so a lot of movies/anime. Bunch of .ISOs. Pictures etc.
>>52158799
CPU should cost more than GPU, it lasts more hardware cycles. CPU is 5+ years, GPU is 1.5-2, 3 at the most.
rate if u want
Just upgraded my psu, 8 year old HP reporting in.
>>52164709
If you're buying an Intel extreme edition processor you should be buying at least one if not two flagship GPUs.
While not super fancy, I did try and set it up to easily take things out of the loop without taking most of it apart. Got 3 quick disconnects in the back that allow me to take the GPU out and run just the CPU, or take out both the motherboard and GPU if need be. What's also not pictured is the 240mm Monsta sitting in front.
