Is that a ribbon ide cable?
>>53649056
Says you, I've made two threads in a row. I'm on fire timing wise
the picture isn't that greatly lit, but it looks good. Good choice of GPU cooler. 8/10, pretty solid build and I can't see and spaghetti. Get some braided cables for an improvement
early for once
>tfw tomorrow this will no longer be my main PC
>>53649074
Yes. The drive is stuck in there, so I might aswell use it. I have a SATA drive hanging around somewhere but the IDE drive is stuck in cause of shitty Zalman mounting
>>53649074
They stopped making those in the paleolithic era. What a weird reference to make. Are you majoring in geology, anon?
>>53649089
Upgrading or selling?
You have a good rig ATM, but there is some near unavoidable spaghetti by the PSU, and some cables overhang the Mobo tray which looks ugly. solid 7/10, pushing 8/10
>>53649114
it is a ribbon IDE cable though. Drive is stuck in the case, might as well use it
>>53649127
side grading.
The machine isn't going any where, but it's way more power than I use. BAck when I was an insufferable NEET I would dream about having a god tier machine that could run and do literally any consumer based borderline professional based software application.
But now that I have it, and I have a job, and social connections and I'm not in front of it as often I'm like "Fuck"
So I ordered an e6440 which I'm going to tweak out and then dock when I'm home. The machine pictured is going to become a game/file server. I can stream most games to either the e6440 or my tv via shield console.
so main work station will actually be a laptop, that goes with me every where and if I need to do something the laptop can't handle, I'll stream it from the desktop.
>>53649222
sounds cool. Personally a desktop suits me well, but I can see how just streaming to a laptop could be a great alternative. All the power to you mate

ASrock MoBos are shitty. Anon has said in countless threads that the sensor is broken
>>53649266
Well it's that or keeping hourly backups of work and other files on both systems for when I'm away. This way just works better, and I'll have even more mobility because of it.
>>53649306
The mobo is nice, it has really great features, but yeah.
>>53649290
Did you see the other temps? The ambient was so fucking low in the room at the time the socket sensor bugged out.
it was like 8C in the room at the time.
Are there any small cases that can fit two ITX boards on a single power supply?
>>53649306
>Anon has said in countless threads that

>>53649440
I mean, it looks alright but you could do so much better in that case
>>53649492
That's fucking huge. It's the same size as my old Enthoo Luxe.
>>53649528
only dual-PC case that I know of in existence. You can stack Two thermaltake v1 to make a dual-PC case M-ITX, or two v21s for a dual M-ATX
>>53649506
PSU sure, but SSDs can fit anywhere and the 5.25 bays aren't being used.
>>53649551
>Two thermaltake v1
I might actually do that, considering that they're small, cheap, and cute as shit.
But it's a waste to have two PSUs when neither of my ITX builds use any more than 90W each. Fuck external power bricks.

Dual E5-2670s, 32 GB DDR3 ECC, and a 7970. I'm thinking about making it a hackintosh, does anyone have any recommendations for what to use? I just need to do iOS development. My board is the AsRock Rack EP2C602-4L/D16, and I know from previous research that it throws a fit about the HD 7000 series cards
>>53649613

Sweet, I didn't even know that this was a thing
>>53649641
thats the entire point, easy cabling. Good for water cooling cause you can hide the reservoir behind the mobo tray
>>53649656
Nice rig, What have you got on the MoBo though?

>>53649795

but, why
like, if it was some sort of foam to stop noise I could see why. If it was some sort of head-conductive thing to use on the capacitors I could see why. But why put paper on it

I'd have done the same, but the color would've probably been blue or pink
>>53649862
I only chose red to make the green board appear black, but with the paper it doesn't matter, I'm getting blue LEDs soon
>>53649885
why not embrace the green, and get like a pale pea green LED and remove the paper (not neon green cause its too gaymur)
>>53649906
I'll probably just get the original NZXT Hue and experiment
>>53649729
Literally how are any of those better than skylake?
Are you just upset you can't get a new processor so you use the "grapes are probably sour anyway" bullshit
>>53649964
they're better from a price/performance ratio
Skylake was a shit launch, barely any better than haswell. The fact that a 2600k competes and beats a 6600k in some cases is ridiculous
>>53650000
I wouldn't bother arguing with him. It's obvious he didn't do his research and made a stupid decision. Whether or not he ever admits it is up to him, there's nothing more we can do. Just look away and be glad it wasn't you.
>>53650000
>Muh price to performance
>It's weird how this i7 with hyper threading beats an i5 with no hyper threading in very rare cases
Give it a rest. Skylake isn't a meme, it is better than haswell, sandy bridge, and bulldozer.
Once again "The grapes are probably sour anyway"

>>53650256
I'm poor but I have common sense. 4000>6000 mate, it's intel gouging money whilst AMD isn't releasing chips
>>53650000
>The fact that a 2600k competes and beats a 6600k in some cases is ridiculous
Hardly a fair comparison. Yes the 2600k and a board would be cheaper and perform better in some use cases (and worse in others) but they're different classes, compare it to the 6700k instead (or the 2500k to the 6600k).
If price to your performance is your only concern and you can benefit from hyperthreading then sure the 2600k would be the better choice, if you don't want to go second hand or want newer features then it's not so great.
I've played the price to performance game before and had some fun slapping two old Xeons on a dual socket board and stopping CPUs that literally cost 5 times as much as both of mine together, but it's not without its disadvantages.
>>53649514
Not op but education is a rebranded enterprise version. Enterprise which is better than pro.
Just look up enterprise vs pro.
>>53650279
please tell me how a 5% performance increase that is made obsolete by Over-clocking is worth $500
>>53650258
You are still failing to realize that if someone has an intel chip and buys a skylake chip that is infact stupid
But if someone has an 8320 and buys a skylake chip that is not stupid
It all depends on the situation people buy it in
>>53650278
It looks alright, apart from the fire hazard of a PSU

Any tips?
>>53650312
there is no situation where buying skylake over haswell is a good idea. That is what I am saying, not that skylake is pentium level
>>53650303
>implying you can't overclock skylake too
>500 dollars
>>53650327
Tighten up the cables
get rid of that GPU sag, use some lego is needs be
get more cables behind the mobo tray, there are too many in the area that is visible

>>53650342
You also need to buy a MoBo and DDR4, which is stupidly expensive
whilst you can OC skylake, Haswell unlocked chips are cheaper for the same performance and overclocking MoBos are cheaper
>>53650371
the performance increase of skylake is not worth it for the price bump
>>53650385
DDR4 isn't stupid;y expensive, maybe you should just get out of your mom's basement and get a job faggot
>>53650341
You have done zero research at all
>>53650325
The PSU is exactly what I want to change next; I want a modular one to get rid of unnecessary cables
>>53650379
That GPU sag is worryingly big. Just put some lego underneath and be done
>>53650385
>This old inferior product is cheaper, checkmate
It's so weird right? why is the 4690k with a 6mb cache at a 3.5GHZ stock clock cheaper than the 6700k with a 8mb cache and 4.0GHZ stock clock

iirc the 7970 is supported by os x but support isn't great. i don't believe amd releases os x drivers independent of apple like nvidia does.
nvidia's 7xx series is mostly supported out of the box. 9xx series are supported via nvidia's independent driver.
tonymac appears to only recommend nvidia cards:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/building-customac-buyers-guide-march-2016.html#Graphics_Cards
mostly because nvidia and apple offers great support for them.
chipset and cpu wise you should be fully supported. sandy if fully supported. sound should be if its realtek.
it might be easier to setup mac os x in a virtual machine if you just don't want to do amateur software development.
>>53650812
Getting a CLC is fine, but you got an H60 instead of an H100i/110i, the H60 wont perform much better than a good air cooler
>>53650866
How stupid are you? Honestly? Mobile implies I'm not at home you fucking idiot
>>53650901

>>53650993
>the H60 wont perform much better than a good air cooler
in many scenarios it would actually perform worse than a cheapo $30 212 evo.

I didn't know that, was planning on using this mobo and GPU for my next build. What about MSI motherboards? Are they decent?
>>53650341
I had a AMD Athlon II X4 645, and finally got the money to upgrade, why would I upgrade from a 2010 chip to a 2013 chip when I can get a top of the line 2015 chip.
Do you still use a CRT TV because these fancy 1080P LED TVs cost too much? Hows your DVD collection? I'm really enjoying Blu-Ray.
![20160220_192158[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/uKV7vUP.jpg "20160220_192158[2].jpg")
>>53651069
That motherboard is a Z170-AR not just A. And overvolt the CPU how? By letting the motherboard do your overclocking for you? Who the fuck does that?
I have the Z97-AR. Been holding my 4690k clocked to 4.6ghz @ 1.3v with no problems or hiccups since I bought it. And sound is fine unless you're an audiophile. Which means you'd have a dedicated setup not reliant on the motherboard's audio chip anyway.
>>53651112
not the op hes referring to but please don't listen to the guy. he doesn't know what hes talking about.
i've own gigabyte, asus, msi, evga, and sapphire over the years and they're all equally as terrible and amazing.
>>53651201
this
just look into the motherboards you're interested in. read reviews about them and browse forums like overclock.net.
they're all the same and change every generation. can never be brand loyal. one generation they're great and the next they're shit.
>>53651076
Yeah cause the pic is old, holy fuck your really are retarded aren't ya
>>53651112
for Intel builds, pretty much any company will work fine although I tend to prefer Asus because their BIOS layout is so much easier to work with. Right behind them would be Asrock, then MSI.
I wouldn't touch Gigabyte with a 10 foot pole, ECS is dead to me, and I'm waiting on Super-Micro to release something relevant. They had Z series motherboards that faded into obscurity because no one sold them. You had to buy them online and they were priced way beyond what they should have been given their specs.
>>53651201
>He doesn't know what he is talking about

>>53651231
so you have time to go out and post pics on 4chan, but dont have time to take a single picture at home?
>>53651230
>They are all the same
Why are you purposefully giving that guy false information
>>53651112
Get the deluxe z170, you'll be glad you did and you will have zero regrets, more features and all around a better motherboard. If you can get an EVGA card, they have hands down the best customer support and their ACX coolers are great.
>>53651351
thanks for cherry picking one part that i wrote. lets continue with that i said.
> they're all the same and change every generation. can never be brand loyal. one generation they're great and the next they're shit.
by telling him they're all equally as shitty, depends on the generation, and he needs to look into the motherboards instead of blinding purchasing one based on brand i'm spreading false information?
what?
People have asked in the past why I don't have a fury X. This build was specifically for 4k gaming (which is why I am getting another 980ti) and the 4gb VRAM on the fury X would really hold me back. I have no company allegiances, all I care about is power really. I wanted to get an AMD card for DX12 since they have their shit together with the async shaders but there are no cards out there besides the Titan X, 980ti, and 390x crossfire for 4k gaming. I'm contemplating getting the Fury X2 but who knows when that will come out and with new cards on the market everything is really kind of overwhelming.

Planning to build a 5820k computer in 1-2 months. The 4790k-6700k-5820k are very similarly priced. May as well pay a little bit more to get the best of the bunch.
>>53662377
That doesn't make it a bad processor, that just means there are better options
>>53659191
tell me that you have a better monitor or one on the way
>>53662699
X99 motherboards will have support for broadwell-E later this year if you wait long enough. 6820k or whatever they name it could be reasonable.

Was planning on going mitx when zen arrives. Hand size never even occured to me. Hands are 23cm long, 12cm long. Am i fucked?
>>53662790
By that logic I can say that nearly nothing is bad. The 6700k sucks in terms of price/performance. You aren't getting anything worthy for the extra cost.
>a pentium 3 isn't bad for daily usage, there are just better alternatives
>>53663048
It all depends on how you use the processor
>>53650379
is that a Corsair 230T?

can't wait to see the custom loop. How do you use 3 pin fans on a CPU though?

Nice cabling though, 7/10

don't worry, i ordered a full atx motherboard today to fill the space.

Still in the process of building, getting parts, transferring files ect, but its up and running. Ignore the clutter as stated above.
>>53664052
average cables, what GPU are you gonna get?
>>53664051
it matches the rest of my build and has all the features i was looking for so who cares what the branding is...
>>53664051
Well the only other Black and Red mobo is MSI, and thats MSI
also it's just a name, who gives a shit if it's marketed to 13 year olds. MX reds are good but they're apparently Gaymur switches according to Cherry
First timer
>>53664114
Most likely a 960/970. I'll have to get a new psu too. Even though there is 36amps on the 12v rail I wouldn't feel comfortable running it off molex adapters since there is only a single 6pin.
>>53664234

>>a pentium 3 isn't bad for daily usage, there are just better alternatives

The 6700k is objectively bad in price/performance. Sure, I wouldn't say no if someone gave it to me but I wouldn't buy it when the 4790k and the 5820k exist.
>>53663632
>itx
the tower cost about $300, he's using it for basic shit, so cables don't matter. also v300 is a meme-ssd, but was like $30.
>personal rig
I'm gonna use all EK parts (except GPU block), and what do you mean about the fans? I use a y-splitter to put them on one header.

this much money and this...
>>53664052
i don't understand, did you put the CPU fan on the opposite side just to be contrarian?

Yes and No. The fan is flipped over so it pulls not pushes. Easier to clean and no dead spots on the heatsink.

MICRO STUTTER IS STILL A THING ON LIKE EVERY SINGLE GAME. MAYBE ITS JUST ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE ON 144HZ
>>53667836
but why 900p
>>53667846
holy shit some nigger deleted my post
I had a asus rog swift 144hz edition but the power supply broke like a week ago. (only 7 months old)
>>53667864
Ah that makes sense
Sup /g/uts, I thought this would be a good place to post this; how do people decide which power supplies are good, and specifically, how good or bad certain series of power supplies from the same manufacturer are relative to each other? Like the corsair VS series being inferior to the CX in turn inferior to the HX etc. ?
And is there anything wrong about getting a non-80+ rated power supply if I don't care about the power efficiency and have proper cooling, AND have the PSU connected to a good UPS which can shield it from electrical fuckery?inconsistency or surges
>>53650325
>fire hazard of a PSU
why? it was top of the line when it was released and will probably last a life time
>>53668455
A good rule is to just not cheap out. A good PSU will last several builds.
You don't want some cheap chink crap delivering dirty power to your expensive components.

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cx750-80-plus-bronze-certified-power-supply
The TT one has a 730W while the Corsair has 750W. The Corsair is more expensive by about $6. However, the TT one, although lower in wattage, is semi-modular while the Corsair is non-modular. The TT is less efficient at 100% load than the Corsair (bronze) by ~2% so whatever. The TT also has a 14cm fan instead of the 12cm one on Corsair. Those are the only differences I noticed. The CX also has:
>4-Pin Peripheral Connector: 4
>PCI-E Connector: 4
So 4x4PCI-E connectors so 16 in total right? My motherboard/cpu needs 6, and I'm planning to have myself a CF eventually with two 390x's which would need at least 8 (but probably 16 -- I'm not sure). Semi-modular makes more sense doesn't it?
Even worth a 390x CF I've used the power calculator (http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator at 100% cpu tdp +24h use) and at MOST my system would consume 710W (in CF) so the TT semi-modular supply would still be a viable, cheaper, option. Really lost. The only problem would be if the Tt doesn't deliver its rsted wattage. Should I save up some more andget a more reliable brand i.e. antec, xfx, etc?
>>53677171
neither, they're both fire hazards
also you're making no sense on the 4x4pcie, it's
4 6+2 PCIE things and a 8pin CPu connector
either way, get a higher quality one, like a 750G2
Anyone know how the new 600w Silverstone titanium rated unit is?
It's still pretty new I might just get it and find out myself.
the cx600 shit out last saturday so I got a way less shitty psu from evga b-stock
>>53677659
>fx6120
what are you thinking with a 390
guts looks nice though, but Cable combs are your best friend
8/10
>>53677525
Ah come on man I ain't shelling out $120 for a power supply (canada). The tt looks just fine at ~$70. If it delivers the rated wattage it's golden.
>>53677706
I was thinking of getting an 8320 or 50 but I decided to just wait for zen instead.
bulldozer sucks but I can live with it for now.
>>53677986
>waiting for zen meme
Why not just invest in a decent Intel and not worry about upgrading for 5-10 years?
>>53678038
intel are jews, memes, etc
>>53678080
I guess. Buying x99 and an i7-5820k last year was a great investment. 6 core wI think hyper threading that can easily OC to over 4ghz matching the equally priced quad core i7-6700k.
x99 will also support broadwell-e CPUs that release later this year.
Ah well, I hope zen is worth the wait for you

you have literally no idea what youre talking about. You are not an expert on power supplies, and therefore just because you are not famililiar with a model does not make it a bad power supply.
You also sound like you just turned 18 and you have no knowledge of anything that happened in the computer world before the Core2 era

Purple isn't covered in the LED guide, what do they do?
put the CPU fan on the bottom with airflow going up, make back exhaust intake
>spending more on fans than on the PSU
>>53681268
had an EVGA 700w psu die on me, replaced it with this
non modular but it does the trick on my a10-7850k build
I know the guy who owns a local pc parts store, ended up getting all those fans like 40% off
