Buyers regret ? Parts in the Mail ? Summer Upgrade ?
Finished building this today.
Mostly my same old parts in a new Fractal Nano S ITX, and a new 390X
r8/h8.
>>54148039
Very neat and nice, but kinda boring, no offence. You've done a good job colour matching though.
>>54148108
Love how neat and well-build Itx can look!
Really awesome jobs anon! Specs ? Oc?
Feel a bit bored with my guts>>54148039
But hey , its working fine and let me play Starcraft 2 as much as i want! Wish there will be some interesting upgrade parts release this summer!!
>>54148039
>>54148205
Thank you.
I kinda wish I could be happy with an ordinary build, I would save so much money... So don't lament being boring too much.

I like to live dangerously
Sort of want a new cooler, but that would mean I'd have to get a proper sleeved cable kit as I have absolutely no room left in the back with the extensions.
>>54148326
Nice case.

Holy colour matching batman.
This is the exact colour scheme I'd want but too lazy to do.
Whatsup
>>54148614
Red and black is easy if you're lazy, fucking everyone makes their gaymen hardware that theme.
Hey /g/oys
>>54148701
How loud is it, g/o/y?
>>54148690
You need to upgrade that fan
I suggest one of AIO water coolers corsair h80i gt
>>54148730
Not loud at all, /g/oy. The only time the fans aren't on min speed is when i'm rendering.
>>54148701
Oh hey, I did my first WC build in an XB. Bleeding the loop was a real bitch.
>>54148690
dig the internals but not the case, 2 cool points
>>54148701
stickers are a bit distasteful and the watercooling seems more for show, .74 coolstars
>>54148761
shill
>>54148796
5Ghz is for show? And it doesn't show it but the Fury X is also at a stable 1150.
>>54148880
>5Ghz is for show
its an FX 8320, anything you do to it is for show because it's a garbage CPU for the price. For the cost of half of your water loop you'd have had an air cooled intel that performed better in pretty much every metric.
It's obvious you didn't build it for actual performance, or you would never be using the 8320 to begin with.
>>54148927
Notice I said
>rendering
in one of my other posts. As far as cheap multi threaded performance goes the 8320 is the king.
>>54148965
Like I said, for the cost of half your water loop, you could have gotten an 8 core Xeon off ebay, or a 6 core intel with 40% more IPC making it more powerful than that 8320 for rendering in all but the very worst case scenario, and the 8 core Xeon would laugh at the 8320 with scorn.
>>54148965
As someone who does rendering on a 5820k, he's right. I very highly doubt your 8 core 8320, even at 5Ghz. Could best my 6 core 5820k at 3.8Ghz
>>54148965
i was the guy who criticized your water cooling, not the guy that said you screwed up, but as an 8350 user, you screwed up
>>54148984
Except I got all of the watercooling parts for $100 off a friend, minus the GPU block. And with microcenter deals the processor was only $70. For the cost I really couldn't have done much better
>>54149136
$170

7
0
d o l l a r s for no real improvement
>>54149136
Maybe it happened that way, but for literally anyone else buying at full price, or close to it. That's a terrible build for rendering.
For CPU bound rending my 5820k is about twice as fast for single threaded, and at least 2/3rds faster for mutli-threaded as well.
I have everything I need.
But I remain unsatisfied.
Oh, God, I need help...
>>54149224
this is nice, similar to mine.
On a note thats not really related to computer cases, satisfaction cant be found with material possessions. Telling you this is useless because only self revelation will make it seem so obvious. It also takes some specific event to happen in your life, whether they happen now, or when your 60, they will eventually happen
>>54149284
Maybe the specific event is when the next part for his PC arrives?
>>54149333
that will give you temporary satisfaction, you will never be sattisfied permanently
>>54149342
This all seems very vague, I'd recommend to just keep buying parts.
>>54149284
lol, thanks, Sensei.
I was mostly joking.
Money doesn't buy happiness, etc., etc., etc..
>>54149224
Sell your build and start another. I do this every year. I have a big problem.
>>54149468
no, for me money did buy me happiness as it was my revelation
>>54149654
That's what I've been doing, lol.
4 builds built, 3 sold since I started selling them. It might be time to let this one go and start another.

>>54154197
>PC MATE
dear god
It does show how a bit of effort in cabling/good looking components goes a long way
>>54154277
Well I also changed a lot
>>54153600
>just noticed the yellow MoBo which kinda ruins the look
One of the few boards with all the features I wanted and didn't have bootloop and other issues. The Asus deluxe board with the white heatsinks was considered but the reviews are mixed
>>54155412
>but the reviews are mixed
It's an amazing motherboard, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. If you actually read reviews on obscure tech websites nobody has issues, but if you read reviews on tech illiterate sites like newegg,amazon,and tigerdirect, then you will get a bunch of people who fuck up their motherboards and blame the manufacturer.
>>54155412
this >>54155896
people are fucking stupid they'll end up installing the wrong driver or having their drives in the wrong partition and give the board a 1/5. even small insignificant issues like "I don't like the blue on the heatsink" turns into a 3/5
>>54155896
it has 60+ reviews and half of them are POST issues or bootloops.
If this one gives me trouble I'll give that one a go, but not gonna bother just for aesthetics.
>>54156052
People tend to only leave reviews when they have negative experiences
Look at the number of people who bought the board, and look at the number of people who reviewed it badly. That gives you your answer
>tfw no spaghetti anywhere
3570K @ 4.1

500GB 850 EVO
120GB 840 EVO
Biggest regret I've ever had was buying a 3570S in the hopes it'd produce less heat while performing as well as my 3570K.
Turns out 15W of TDP doesn't make much of a difference, and it was noticeably slower even without benching.
Nothing in the mail, might upgrade to pascal or polaris if they're good.
>>54148039
Looks good, and matches well

People who review things really are retarded, their package may come slightly damaged and they will give the product a one star.
Is this a good deal?
new case and loop soon
>>54156899
Why not a pair of 45*'s between the CPU and GPU?
>>54156980
couldn't get it to line up properly, putting a 140mm rad between the two in the new case to fix the problem
First time build.. when i turned on the pc everything was fine, no noise etc. The only problem i had was that the thermal paste went a bit off the CPU but i cleaned it safely..
Also do those stickers or the evo do anything dangerous? Cause if they remove them it says that the warranty goes off
>>54156996
That sucks, but the rad sounds like a good idea.
Also I just noticed thomas' face, I like it.
>>54157229
You mean like that yellow sticker that looks like it's on the fan cable?
It's fine to take it off, it's just telling you not to trash the fan or something.
>>54157255
Oh then okay about the yellow sticker but on the white one it says "Warranty void if removed", is it fine to keep it as is it? doesnt seems to move from that position when the fan is on..
>>54157302
They should both be fine to leave where they are unless they bother you.
If you remove the warranty void if removed sticker you'll void the warranty (duh).
It's up to you though.
>>54157431
I'll just leave them as they are then, they dont get in the way though i was worried that over they time they could peel off or something
>>54157447
>>54152161
>Is that fake granite countertop wrap?
Its real granite
>>54148965
I got rid of my 8320 and got a 6700k, cut my rendering times by 20-30 minutes. The processor is shit.
>>54153974
Lame. But still not terrible for a case?

>>54161222
What you got your 980ti clocked at? I'm getting 1502mhz on boost.
>>54159791
Turn the fan around on the CPU heatsink. It should be blowing air towards the motherboard, not away from it. CPU temps may not suffer too much, but the VRM section on the board would thank you.
>>54161355
>>54161355
I'm enjoying it. It's pretty good to me.

>>54161222
You should route your front audio cable through that little cutout under the header and over the PSU.
You could probably get the front panel connectors to be under the mobo and through a hole in the tray somewhere too, if you cared enough.
>>54161392
That case puts the PSU over the motherboard, which would have the PSU and CPU cooler fighting for air if he flipped the fan around.
>>54150291
>PCIE SSD (M.2)
Huh, I wonder if you'd first be bottlenecked by M.2, or the Speed of PCI-E
I have a PCI-E SATA adapter for my SSD, mainly because I ran out of SATA ports.
>>54161497
neither you goober. pcie 3.0 x4 throughput is 32Gb/s. nothing available comes close to saturating that.
also what video card is that, its fuckhueg
>>54161575
So the M.2 will max before the PCIE slot
That was my real question, which will hit it's limit first.
Also it's a 7970
Asus made it a 3 slot card, because fuck my space. But hey, they gave me 4 DP slots and 2 DVI in the back, so there's that.
>>54161355
Thanks for the input.

dont mind me

You should run those front panel connectors around behind the drive bays
I love gigantic coolers though, 8/10
>>54162007
blue and fans and red lights are triggering my 'tisms.
BeQuiet! is an under rated brand, at least in the US.
>>54162046
I want everything blue/black, but I won't get a blue RGB mainboard until 2018. This is one of the best Z77 boards ever made.
Also bequiet is top tier, but my old PSU died so they RMAd me this 1200W DPP. I would sell / exchange it but no one wants to do it, so I'll probably keep it for heavy OC, fans, HDDs and 1-2 GTX 1080Ti.
Don't feel any need to upgrade anything really
We'll see how the new cards pan out, and how hard Nvidia gimps the 900 series
>>54148039
new fan on the T4. well, new to it, never used anyway. sat on the shelf for a few years, but it's alright.
can't wait to start using this full time when summer comes about and I have more free time to devote to migrating over from the other behemoth.

I love Silverstone's wacky vertical cases but it's a shame they've got the patent on them. It'd be great to see other manufacturers put their spin on the design.
>>54165688
yea. i don't think ill go back to a normal case. i like vertical too much.
>It'd be great to see other manufacturers put their spin on the design.
it would. i know maingear has a version of the raven. same chassis.
looks fucking lovely but i think you can only get it by buying a whole prebuilt pc

>>54165741
It's a fantastic design, great for cooling and aesthetic as fuck. I had a vertical FT02 for ages but my video card didn't like being vertical and was overheating and throttling under any real load. Switched to an NZXT S340 and instantly lost 20c and gained around an extra 11% performance. It's a real shame, I loved that case.
>>54165808
i still wana get a custom loop going in this case
everyone says its terrible to watercool but eventually im gonna do it and make it sexy as fuck.
and have the huge ass triple radiator mounted to the back
>>54165842
I did that too. I had a massive fucking 180x30x540mm radiator in the bottom cooling my 8350, 7970, VRMs and northbridge. Ran the fans at 7v and the entire rig was completely silent.
>>54165870
the dream.
yea one day ill probably do a completely fresh build in this case. i think ill leave it for a while so i can afford to go full overkill on the hardware and cooling
might be a real ricer and paint it too
depends.
What is the best aio single rad 120mm? for skylake?

>>54165912
NZXT, or corsair
Fresh guts
>>54162007
Also in the mail for summer upgrade: A defective 780Ti with Accelero Hybrid cooler.
I got it for cheap, and will use the cooler for mine. Should be enough for some OC until BigPascal.
Not very pretty, but it's been solid to me for the last 5 years.
>>54165870
I would get a better CPU then. Broadwell-E or Zen if they bring something useful.
