Why the tiny board?


preemptive question answering: double filters and positive pressure means no dust on the foam, temps are literally no different, and yes, it does deaden the last of the sound and is inaudible under load
>>
>>53685653
Is that an HP or Dell sff PC? I think my PSU fucked itself and the error code is four beeps with Amber LEDs but the green LED on the motherboard still lights up, which I find strange

>>53687282

>Why the tiny board?

tldr: moved from a mATX case for more rad area

>yes, it does deaden the last of the sound

I had heaps of foam of similar thickness on my old build and it didn't do much (maybe a 5% reduction if I was being generous)

>inaudible under load

Was going to call bullshit until I saw you were running a 960 - that's believable I suppose

>>53685653
hey man, I went to bed before you posted this. Looking as clean as ever
>>53687014
Yeah, the IDE drive is stuck in the case so I might as well use it. Only one little slit for the IDE cable, MoBo cable, Molex power and the front I/O connectors so cabling is a bitch. The drive overhangs this hole as well

Nice rig though, Clean AF
>>53687082
Big case small MoBo. Atleast you're the only person I've seen who uses that bottom area properly and actually fills it with a thick rad

The cooler only mounts properly this way, and only fits in the case this way. I have moved the exhaust fan to above it to accommodate but I borrowed my friends camera to take this pic and I ain't going back to shitty HTC pictures
IDE drive is stuck in the case, might aswell use it
8/10
>>53687282
>Power to conquer this cable nightmare
Only one slot for the ide cable, molex cable, mobo cable. the Disk Drive, which is stuck in the case, over hangs this hole and I have a Molex - 3pin adaptor underneath the drive. Eventually I'll get the drive out and make it look better, if the front panel comes off
What's foam like for dust anyway? the fact it gets super dusty and impossible to clean was the major turn off for me. Looking good though, 8/10
>>53687464
Nice old rig. 6/10, but nice job putting the kitchen counter on the front
>>53687520

>eww air cooling
>120mm rad on a 280mm rad mount

spaghetti by the fan, 6/10
>>53687703
because they draw attenting to parts of the case you shouldn't be drawing attention to. It goes against the colour scheme, if you had a blue MoBo it would look alright. Look at my PC, the Sata cable are ugly af
6/10
>>53687731
that GPU sag, apart from that it's alright 6/10
>>53688016

here is the /guts/ of my shit tier potato pleb-built crap I bought a few years ago, slowly putting together a new PC just buying the shit slowly

Specs:
Motherboard: MSI 760gm P23(fx)
CPU: AMD FX 4300
Ram: I have no idea, but its 8 gigs and barely passable
>green pcb
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 612 v2
GPU: AMD Radeon HD6450
PSU: Thermalcuck Plebpower 350w
Fans: Lots, 4 intakes, 2 exhaust, 1 of which is nigger rigged in the front (i will post pictures in reply to this post) and one is turned 45 degrees so it actually fits allowing me to close my case.
>ew led fans
1 on the front is the case fan my shit case came with, and the other on top is the one from my case im putting my pc im putting together in, because im going to order noctua hff12 fans to replace all the fans the shit is going to use.

I re-cable managed a lot of the cables when I first got this pleb-built, there is actually a molex to (5) 4 pin fan adapter thats been cable managed in the back.

please mock my garbage so I can feel bad about my decisions in life.

It's been a while since I posted in one of these threads.
Somehow I expected everything would be a lot smaller when building mATX, so I've just had to deal with knowing how there's a lot of empty unused space in it. It's just not very visually pleasing, and in a sense I was more satisfied with my old jam-packed ATX case, even if that was too big, physically speaking. If I'm to build anything new, I guess I'll go even smaller, I rememer seeing lots of cool mITX cases in these threads before.

nothing wrong with two sticks of RAM, not sure what you mean
single GPU is fine since he can always get another card later
that drive looks like a 2.5" hdd, probably the only real thing wrong with that build
nothing wrong with ATX either, mini ITX is a stupid meme.

In all honesty there is nothing that can be done outside of what I have already done. It has this huge tumor of a cord set that plugs right into the graphics card and makes it look like an abomination. I just can't do anything about it other than tie it up and not let it get in the way of airflow

Overkill amount of surface area, you could literally run the fans at like 500 rpm and get excellent temps. A single 360 radiator could easily do this but fans will probably need to spin at 1100rpm but thats still really quiet

I've updated AIO liquid cooler since pic (corsair h115i)
2nd 970 was a steal at $100 of a friend who decided to go to team red so I said why not.
Plan on getting top pascal card but worried after seeing "leaked" specs. Hoping that it's a fake leak or I may go to "Power consuming/runs hot" team red even after swearing it off forever after a bad experience with a sapphire card
waiting to see Intel's showing for this year before upgrading MB, CPU etc..

Its the 360 and the pump is audible but it isnt irritating. I've used a D5 before in another kit (which was an XSPC and the bay res failed so I got a refund). And its probably a tiny bit louder than a D5 on the low settings. D5 is obviously louder on 3 and up.

i would turn the CPU cooler so it is in line with the rear exhaust fan for the best performance, because at the moment it is sucking up the heat from the GPU

Hmm. Alright.
But since
>>53714966
I'll try both.
>>
>>53714966
doesn't make much of a difference, but you GPU is forced into a slower slot and your exhaust is on the back, not the top. Put it in the normal orientation, it'll be better
>>53714919
ghetto/10
>>
>>53715041
I believe my tower has both, I'll check when I get home. Good point about the gpu tho.
>>
>>53714984

What I meant by best performance in >>53714963
is what this anon said >>53715073

best performance over all because the GPU is in a slow PCIE slot, ideally you want a single gpu in the top most slot amd you get getting direct exhaust of the heat from the CPU as well.

Sup /guts/,

I'm really lost between which motherboard to choose. Either MSI or Asus (brands don't matter), and the differences are as follows:

MSI is $20 cheaper
Asus supports memory OC (I plan to eventually), MSI can only do stock 2133Mhz
MSI has 2 usb3.1 gen2 ports, Asus has 1
Asus has 32gbit M2 support 32gbit/s (I plan to eventually). MSI does too I think but it's tainted in bullshit (i.e. "MSI Turbo M2" for 32gbit/s)
MSI has 2 PS2 ports, Asus has 1 (I prefer ps2)
Both support CF (I plan to eventually)
I think the MSI motherboard is also made of higher quality material, not sure. It also has LED lighting which is nice. The Asus board looks weird with that added plastic. It also feels like I'm paying a premium for SLI support which I don't need.

Thoughts?

>>
>>53715234
even if you dont plan to overclock you might as well get the asus one that allows overclockability if its only $20 more, that way if you ever did plan to over clock with a different CPU and other stuff you dont need to buy a whole new motherboard.
>>
>>53715267
MSI isn't that bad imo, there are different tiers of materials they use, quality wise. Thanks though, I think I'll go with the ASUS board. Now to find a new case with 4 USB3.0 ports since the ASUS board has one 3 usb ports at the rear.

>>53715275
Totally makes sense. I'd rather upgrade the CPU eventually instead of spending more money on both motherboard and CPU. The ASUS' features are more likely to give me a comfortable space for future upgrade like faster ram, m2, usb 3.1 type c devices etc.

Thanks for all the help! Hopefully I can post a built in these threads soon.
