cheap cable combs where edition
So if I want my cables to be pretty I buy wires+sleeves+connectors and cut them to length, sleeve them, then attach to connectors?
How do you deal with godawful inflexible shit like front-panel usb3 cables?
>>53911803
bruh
>>53913941
Why the 5930k instead of the 5820k? You don't appear to be using the extra PCI lanes of the 5930k which is it's only advantage over the 5820k.
An old photo from when I first built this, but it's pretty much the same other than new RAM and better cable management.
I should probably clean out the dust.
How do I fit more hard drives?
>>53914910
If they are small enough, replace them with 6 or 8TB drives.
>>53914910
Why do you need so many?
>>53914970
probably pirating a bunch of shit, or working with large 4k files or very large texture files, or big 3D projects, etc.
>>53914918
I think I'd rather go with a larger case than replace them. I'm also looking into making an external hotswap bay.
If I wasn't getting half the value (through replacing), I'd definitely go with 8tb drives today.

>>53914977
Ah, I see. Didn't think something like that would need that much space.
>>53914978
Oh, I see. I'm assuming that they're all at least 1TB drives? That's a lot of obscure Japanese porno games.
>>53914222
trips checked. Cheap cable combs doesnt seems to exist if you live outside the US! buying a 8 USD Cable combs pack would cost me something like 22 CAD!
>>53914978
>external hotswap bay.
external hot swap networked storage devices are pricey, several hundred dollars for 4 drives.
Your cheapest option is to get a larger tower case with more internal 3.5" bays.
The cheapest option right now would be the LIAN LI PC-A75 for ~$170. It has 12 internal 3.5" bays, 4 more than your current case.
Your concern at this point would be SATA connections, but it looks like you have a free PCI-E slot, so you will just need another PCI-E SATA controller.
>>53914993
>need that much space
Most of us don't NEED that much space... but it's preferable.
I personally have 3x4TB HDDs and another ~3TB split among various smaller sized drives.
>>53914993
The ones in the raid are 3tb.
>>53915045
>>53915068
I was looking into building an external enclosure that could use my board's esata ports. I really like that case, but I'm not sure if 3 more slots is enough for me. I'd probably go with one of those 24x3.5" bay rack-mounted cases and build a little wood rack for it.
>>53915083
There's nothing better than being able to totally ignore space constraints.
>>53914978
Buy one the of mastercase 5 drive cages off coolermasters website (or any other cage) and get a load of SATA to USB adaptors
>>53915118

it's such a pain in the ass to do all that, and you will spend a good bit of money, but once it's done you will have a really solid network storage box.
Good luck man, I personally wont ever need that many drives (i hope), so I find a larger tower case to be my preferable setup.
How far have guts come within the past few years? Has anything really changed?

muh new gutso
use to have a big 980 sli system but wanted something smaller. so built myself a nice- m-atx 980 ti system.
have to say, really impressed with the performance of my gigabyte xtreme 980 ti. boosts to 1.42ghz all on its own and comes with the ram overclocked from 7ghz to 7.2ghz.
>>53916847
looks like you never took off the plastic film on the southbridge heatsink. looks like it has a massive bubble in the center from the heat.

650W psu and asking to buy another 290?? do the math your self
>>53918217
This was my first build. Oh, to be a teenager again...the summers spent playing Diablo II, Unreal Tournament, Halo, Far Cry, and Battlefiled 2...With all the rice in the world, I never went hungry. A Pentium 4 (with hyper-threading, of course) and Asus mobo sourced from a prebuilt HP desktop were moved to one badass case. An NVidia 6800GT was the love of my life. Cold cathodes and LED fans warmed my heart.
A few years ago, when I was between builds, I found my first and tidied her up.
>>53918235
Thanks. Will be first build and I'm just kind of shooting in the dark after a bit of lurking on here.
>>53919030

Why would you do this? It's like you want heat problems.

Should I expand with a new res+280 rad+2 GPU blocks? Pumps been upgraded to mcp50x
Judge me so I can improve from adversity.
>>53920495
Two 60hz 1080p panels and a 9-5 means I'm pretty casual on games. Premiere rendering isn't problematic for me, either. When I started doing video on my home desktop I figured I'd need to upgrade, but it's been no different to my work setup.
Incidentally, why is all of the CC suite utter shit in terms of resource usage? My gimped work MPB does things just as quickly in Final Cut.
>>53920495
Exactly what I thought.
>>53920810
Your build looks clean and good. This 960 actually looks like something bigger, that cooler has more size than my Windforce 780Ti.
>>53915622
fair enough, was just curious
>>53920810

>amd 8350
u wut m8? why throw money away like that?
don't get the 8350. it was considered antiquated in performance when it came out in 2012, and is even more so today.
the motherboard you picked is better quality than it.
just get a skylake i5 or i3. it will shit all over the 8350. even in multitasking scenarios, not just gaming.
i5 6400 would face rape the 8350 and the i3 6300 would butt rape it. or even get a haswell i5. you can easily offset the price difference between the 8350 and i5 6400 by going with a non z170 board. since you're getting a locked processor you can get away with a h170 or a h110 motherboard.
oh and get a 385 instead of the 380x. its not that much more and faster.
>>53922561
>didn't comment on the $420 PSU
really senpai? You bitch about the CPU and GPU but a 1600w $400+ PSU is just dandy?
>>53922595
Was this a test? I didn't even notice the 1600W PSU.
Really want to upgrade something. I don't know what though. Was thinking of a 2nd 980ti classy but I only have a single 32" 1440p monitor, so it'd be for nothing more than e-peen. Then was considering a 500gb m.2 ssd. But I'm not really short on storage.
Thinking of buying X99 in June. I get a bonus check from work, so I won't feel guilty buying it. Figure the Asus WS board, i7-5960X, 32gb ddr4 3200mhz. This is the only upgrade I'd utilize in all reality. Granted it is overkill for gaming, the threads will help tremendously for VMs and encoding.
>>53920138
Only a 280 rad? Stuff a 360mm in the front. Looks like you have plenty of room.
>>53922561
Not who you're commenting on but I was going to buy an 8300. I take it that's bad by your opinion. What's bad about the 8350 and does it carry over to the 8300? What are my options for a $230 USD limit on a processor and full atx motherboard combined?
>>53922595
i didn't even notice that. first thing i saw a a 8350 and the 380. 1600 watt psu? REALLY OP?
>>53923520
used haswell or ivy.
that budget is terrible even for amd. you need at least a 8 phase board to run a 8 core amd house fire at stock. let alone overclock. you can get away with a 6 phase if you live in nova scotia.
>>53923520
>>53923552
Exactly this. Even 2600Ks are better. Get a 3770K on a good Z77 board or a 4790K (I would take the Ivy as it only performs 5 % worse on the same clock but is much cheaper).
>>53923552
>>53923681
Problem is my budget is set and what you two recommend puts me way over.
Thanks regardless.
>>53922561
Thanks for the advise, does the core count even matter?
>>53924339
not much beyond 4. depends on what you're doing

>>53924513
Mostly gaming, don't know much about over clocking but want to leave it open as an option.
>>53924960
4 cores is plenty then
>>53925027
Which makes better/reliable processors? Intel or AMD?
>>53924701
>should i buy a macbook?
>>53925189
they're the same reliability
Intel has better per core performance, with AMD you get better cheap options and more cores (and better overclocking)
>>53925260
When will you people realize that "better overclocking" doesn't just mean higher MHz. The only reason it can overclock around 5ghz is because they aren't working very hard. It's like if you have a Mexican mowing the shit out of your lawn and you can't get him to mow any faster, but you have a Mexican who doesn't work hard but you can have a higher percentage push creating the false is silicon of "better"
Go ahead put that CPU up to 5ghz, it won't help anything and you will get no performance boost.
>>53924339
in amd's case, no.
at beast, a 8350 at 4ghz will match a 4770k at stock in games when all cores are maxed out.
no matter what a 4770k can out overclock the 8350.
now with skylake? the gap has increased.
8350 barely keeps up with i5's now when core's are maxed out in games.
amd isn't competitive any longer in the gaming market. even in the non gaming segment its hard to justify a 8350 over a i5 for heavy multitasking.
intel dominates with its single threaded performance.
intel might be more, but it isn't much more, and the performance you get out ways the slight price increase.
>>53925816
>even in the non gaming segment its hard to justify a 8350 over a i5 for heavy multitasking.
maybe on a budget but like you said, intel has such a massive lead its price increase in many aspects are worth saving up the extra $50 - $100.
>>53923482
broadwell-e might be out by then.
you would actually see a nice performance increase at 1440p with a second 980 ti. easily allow you coast through pascal until volta.
Is there any point to a 120mm AIO?

>>53926188
Anything with an aftermarket HSF is generally at least worth investigating because it shows they at least put a bit of effort into it.
Define Nano S build next week.
>>53925876
That's true but broadwell-e won't really be a giant jump forward. Other than their 20 thread i7 they have planned. But the 16 thread 5960X would be more than enough.
Idk about the 2nd 980ti though. Like I said I get great performance out of the 1 even at stock. With the OC profile engaged I get around an extra 7 fps.
I just got the upgrade bug. Just want to fuck with something. Maybe I'll just get a locked i7-4790 to stick in my server to replace the Pentium g3260.
>>53915118

>1000W
There is a 600w Silver Stone Modular Titanium rated PSU for only $150. Or if you really think you NEED more power, the 800w unit is $180.
Why spend over $100 more? You have no need for 1000w, your system will barely draw over 300w. Even adding a 2nd 390x would only bring you up to around 550w at full draw.
>get a modular PSU for better cable management
>my video card only has 1 6-pin connection

This was my first time actually trying cable management and it really bugged me. It is also a pain to get the side panel on because there are so many wires bulging out over there.
Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of it, and I built it for someone else so I don't have it anymore.
Work in progress
