Looks pretty awesome. 9/10 I'd only give you deductions for not doing a custom water cooling loop and the case badge.
I wish I went mini ATX like you did, or even ITX. I have no use for all of these PCI-e slots.
I'll be getting a Pascal card as soon as they come out, otherwise this is my first build and I love it. I built it about a year ago (March 2015) with a 750 ti -> used 760 -> 960.

Well, I've got my loop assembled. And temperatures are good... But I can't get the case really assembled, because of all the space the tubing takes up. I might have to change cases.
>Picture obviously before loop installation.
Psychologist Dr. T. Zozzle has said that recent studies show people who have "heck of clean builds" with an attention to wiring cleanliness are intelligent, rich and usually attractive people, despite their intense autism.
>>54083346
I'd be interested to see the loop, either in it's current state or when you're done getting it set up.
What are the temps?
>>54083381
Using a single 240mm radiator for both GPU and CPU...
>CPU idle: 21-23C
>CPU load (AIDA64): ~40C
>GPU idle: 21-23C
>GPU load (The Division, max settings 3,440 x 1,440 ~2 hours): ~40C
The CPU doesn't really pass 40C when gaming, with the GPU at 40C also. I'm considering the NZXT Manta, even though it's a huge case, just for the extra radiator space. Either that, or wasting a shit ton of money and doing a build in an In Win 909 with like two 240mm radiators, and a 360mm radiator. But that would basically be a brand new build. So I'm leaning away from it.
>summer is here
kill me
finished building, just need to set it up how i want.
>>54083429
If you're going for a larger case, might as well at least add another 240mm rad. 360mm would be nice, though probably overkill.
>>54083770
Well, if I did the Manta it would be two 240mm radiators.
If I go with the 909, it'll be two 240mm's and a 360mm radiator. I'd probably add a second GTX 980, too, just to fill up the case a bit more.
>>54083797
>I'd probably add a second GTX 980, too, just to fill up the case a bit more.
I'd wait for pascal/polaris before getting a dual GPU setup. Unless you really think you need it to get acceptable FPS.
>>54083797
Get two 980 Tis
Pascal will be shit
>>54083830
I don't need it, it's just for the look more or less at that point. It'd make a minimal difference in muh gaymes.
>>54083888
Why would you buy two $600 cards that originally released for $650 a year ago, when something at least comparable, if not better, will come out for less money in a few months? I'm not saying Pascal will blow the 980ti out of the water, but it is obvious it will be more power efficient and run cooler, even if it doesn't surpass it in RAW power (or only manages a ~5-10% performance gains)
You'd have to be a retard to buy two 980Tis right now.
>>54083938
Power > anything else
>>54083949
Okay, and the 1080 or whatever they're going to call it will run cooler, use less power, and be more powerful by a small bit in games for the same or cheaper price than the current 980ti.
Not to mention, he said he doesn't even need the power of a 2nd 980, he just wanted it to fill the case.
Only got my Speccy. Anything I can improve upon, /g/?
>>54084180
Replace the CPU when zen comes out if you plan on keep with AMD, otherwise save up for an intel build whenever you can afford it.
Wew
>>54084222
Is Intel really better than AMD? I actually researched both and couldn't really find that much of a difference. It might have something to do with my inexperience. This is the first time I've built a PC on my own.
>>54084234
Christ.
>>54084262
Intel has a HUGE IPC advantage over AMD. Basically for every Ghz, an intel CPU does about 40% more operations for the SAME clock speed.
So a quad core AMD vs a quad core intel. The intel is at 3Ghz and the AMD is at 4Ghz, the intel is still faster in almost every instance.
AMD's only advantage is price.
>>54084262
What >>54084285 said. Zen may finally make AMD able to compete with 3-4 year old intel CPUs
>>54084317
>>54084285
Thanks, /g/. Zen is not until next year, right?
>>54084404
Late this year supposedly, if there are no delays.

32 degrees in idle? Das not good... wtf are liquid coolers shittier that mid priced air coolers?
>>54084522
>idle preformance
What matters is under load
>>54081597
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/8sCs6h
Guys can you help me with something?
This is my 2 years old build, and I want to upgrade the cooling for it, go with liquid to increase overclocking.
What viable cheap - or mid priced option I have to go with?
>>54084522
it's about 29c ambient temp, under load i struggle to push it over 47c. Prime95 for a few hours will hit around 52c.
>>54084572
29c but with or without overclock and if with clock how much? from base to what?
On air my i7 4770k 4.2k summer clock stays on 29 idle.
>>54084522
>caring about idle temps
>ever
Kill yourself nigger. The only thing that matters while idle is how quiet the system is.
Also contributing because why not I guess
>>54084651
Maybe I've made you a little upset.
But what makes you think
>>54084651
47 degrees in idle, I understand why you shitpost now - you're jelly on people that have it under 33.
GATSU
>>54084698
>you're jelly on people that have it under 33.
Oh yeah, I sure am.
>>54084719
That's good, cool equipment you got there, senpai.
Thanks god that K10 and newer AMD chips do not have real temperature sensor, so i dont need to 'worry' about idle or load temps.
>>54084748
Ah broken sensors.
>>54084475
>>54084797
More like it just wasn't completely idle when I took that Speccy screenshot.
>>54084604
Base of 3.3Ghz. Overclocked to only 3.8ghz because I didn't want to increase from stock voltage for 24/7 oc, Though with a slight voltage increase I've gotten it stable up to 4.5ghz
>>54083261
You're using low profile ram?
>>54084262
Yes Intel is really better. The only reason most people buy AMD is because price and company allegiance (morals: muh monopoly). 8350 and what not are great if you are on a budget, if you aren't go intel
>>54084651
>>54084748
I never had a problem with Idle temps
Do you guys live in a desert or something
>>54085335
What are your ambient temps?
>>54081597
i really need to clean this sucker and take a new pic
>>54085351
Dunno they change a lot
Sometimes around 60-80
>>54082919
That's a sexy mobo.
>no time for love
Running single card now temporarily and got my new Geil Dragon Ram, so bear with the old pic.
I'll also be building a secondary rig soon :3
>>54085464
Well I'd observe your idle temps when your ambient temps are higher. I idle around 36c when my ambient temps are around 85f. But if it's winter and ambient temps are ~50f in the morning my idle temps are like 15c.
>>54084976
Do you want to conserve it for 3 more years?
>>54085592
More than that if possible
>>54085650
Ah then you have good shit there.
I keep mine on 24/7 4.2 - 1.111v
after summer 4.3 close to 1.2v
I don't see a point to go with more as I have good temperatures doing just this.
I never tried 4.5 tho as I'm using air cooler and I want stable temperatures at full load. Why have extra little fps in games sacrificing cpu life lmao.
My stock is 3.5 with turbo 3.9 since I don't game anymore I'm considering lowering clock to 3.9 - what voltage do you suggest to use?
>>54084749
thanks desu~~
>>54083346
>I might have to change cases.
gib ncase pls
>>54085756
It's chip lotters for specific situations like that. Mine could probably do 3.9ghz with a very small voltage increase from stock. Maybe 1.075 really depends on your specific silicon though

Your system probably peeks at HALF that.

I don't think so. Top is too thick for a 750, and the 650 has a larger cage for the disk drives, ect.

You can remove the hard drive bay. Look at the 5.25" bays, the releases say corsair.

>>54086344
Owner of a 650D here. That's a 650D.
>>54086319
It's a 980ti, unless he's over clocked the fuck out of it (and it's not water cooled so not likely) it's only pulling at max load around 350w. CPU if OC'd might pull 120-180w . So for sure under 600w at peak load. Probably under 500w
>>54086370
>that tiny little heatsink on the backplate of the GPU
Well meme'd.
>>54086397
Well shit. All out of stock on Newegg.
>>54086487
As an owner of a 650D, let me tell you this, Corsair's cases are really over hyped. For the price, you can get a better case.
>>54086445
Made this a while ago. Only gpu and it's already pulling nearly 600w total. A single 980 ti + x99 cpu peak load can pull 850w alone easily.
just finished the watercooling yesterday
>>54086469
thank you!
>>54086593
>babby size tubes

>>54086531
>>54086154 is my post.
Been needing a new case and trying to decide something that's quality, well priced, and not flashy as hell. Not the biggest fan on LEDs here.
So far the Corsair 300R looks reasonable, but your say they're overpriced.
Cooler Master's HAF 912 looks okay for basic-bitch.
Also looked at the RAIDMAX Narwhal which despite it's flashy look appears to be a solid case with a lot of bells and whistles.
>>54086531
What are your major complaints? I've got a 750D and couldn't be happier. Tons of space for HDDs, SSDs, and good space for radiators and cable managment behind the motherboard tray. Solid construction, dust filters, etc.
Only two complaints are no tempered glass side panel (but that would increase costs a good deal). And the external radiator hose holes are punch out steel not rubber grommet like you'd expect for this price.
>>54086616
couldn't find any compression fittings in that style in any bigger sizes

>sli bridge
>reference RAM
Jelly of the two 980tis, getting my second one soon but why the bad parts
>>54086557
That's gotta be wrong. Anandtech using z97 and an OC'D i7 with a GTX 980ti show's 385w from the wall in furmark. And GTX 980SLI pulls 500w in furmark.
>>54086632
>>54086635
In my opinion you just don't get much with the 650D for the $200 price tag, if you take a look at the Define R5, it has removable optical drive trays, rubber grommets the are large, and is nearby the PSU, tool-less SSD mounts on the motherboard tray, cable management tie downs. Just basic quality of life stuff. As for my 650D the side doors require two people to fit in properly, because of how flimsy they are, top mounted watercooling suffers due blockage by the rear fan, the screws dig into the top side dust filter, and installation was a pain. The dust filters are magnetic, but they are not nearly strong enough to be held in place, I find myself constantly trying to hold them back up. I only use the Define R5 because of it's price tag. All these features and quality of life for $89 as opposed to $200. If you have money to burn, and don't mind some of the pains of the 650D, go for it, but you can get much better bang for your buck.
What you guys think about this build? I tried to maximize guts beaty.

>>54086177

>2GB VRAM
What.
>>54086747
Sorry it was an i7 on X79 not z97.
Either way though, even OC'ing the GTX 980ti anandtech only managed to draw 420w from the wall. This was total system wattage, not just the 980ti

I took a look and I like it. Thanks for the recommendation, that R5 is pretty fuckin' sweet. Especially for what it comes with at that price.
>>54086961

>>54086972
And definitely on top of my list for the new case for my setup. My Cooler Master 420 Elite is pretty shit nowadays.
>>54087050
Like I said, just make sure the video editing software you use can take advantage of the quadro GPU. in many cases you'll get better performance from a cheaper gamer GPU. Make sure your software is actually going to make the investment worth it, otherwise just but a GTX 970 and be done with it.

not the first time I've seen this either. I remember at least on two occasions where two completely different anons reversed the flow on their ek block
>>54091647
>reversed the flow on their ek block
For CPU blocks it sort of matters, though not a huge deal. For GPU blocks it doesn't matter at all.
>>54091748
?
ek gpu blocks instructions specifically states flow direction doesn't matter. it was obvious I was talking about their cpu blocks.

Not really. I figured you were either talking about blocks in general or GPU blocks, as you were also saying how the other anon messed up his GPU block.
I have my Heatkiller running in reverse and rotated 90 degrees, still works. If I did it properly I cold maybe lose a few degrees but my shit doesn't run hot enough to care about such a small amount.
Can anyone answer me this?

I'd love to see any proof that says otherwise, rumors and speculation don't count.
