Have a good week end /Gents/
Here come the /Guts/
>>54306316
That one open RAM DIMM lock is bugging me something fierce.
bleeding air is such a drag
>>54306316
is there a backplate you can get to stiffen up dat sag doe
>>54306411
is purty, I got Riing fans too. the 140s that came stock with my case were loud as fuck though
>>54306787
>is purty, I got Riing fans too. the 140s that came stock with my case were loud as fuck though
Yeah that's why I replaced my stock fans as well, the Riing 14s are pretty quiet in comparison. The nice looking LED accent is just a bonus.
>>54306411
Ill fix it in the new pic promess
Why the cpu info if not at full load? Whata your oc anon? I honestly like the yellow on the mobo despite all others comment
>>54306787
Nahhh , ive look everywhere for a backplate. Cant find one , especially from canada , one of my biggest regret is not buying my gpu earlier , had my eyes on a 290 with backplate but it went sold out before i could buy. Took the 280x instead , its more then enough for my gaming need and it fit my blue guts! Got a support stick for the gpu , im paiting it this weed end
>>54306931
>Ill fix it in the new pic promess
thank you anon
>Why the cpu info if not at full load? Whata your oc anon? I honestly like the yellow on the mobo despite all others comment
Right now because I am missing a RAM DIMM (getting a new one soon), I am not running an OC, everything is at stock. When I do have my other DIMM however I run at 4ghz. And thanks, the yellow certainly isn't my preference, but it doesn't look as bad as some people here have tried to say, at least in my opinion.
>>54306970
That graphics card looks so slick
>>54307025
thanks granite bro
>>54307323
>980ti
>500
I guess you'll be okay since your cpu isn't 90w tdp
Took a new picture
I'm really close to buying a proper CPU cooler for temporary use until I maybe move into the A4-SFX.
>>54307323
>980 Ti
>2GB RAM
speccy a shit
>>54307922
You have a cryorig cooler. Wtf do you consider proper? An AiO? If that's the case, you're either <25 or actually stupid
>>54307954
I can fit something bigger, the C7 is a bit loud for my tastes.
So until I (maybe) move into the A4-SFX and don't really have a choice I'm thinking about getting a U9S or something, since my old U9B-SE2 did a great job when i had it.
>>54307883
An overclocked 980Ti (Core clock: 1250MHz, Boost clock:1326Mhz, Max Boost clock: 1477Mhz, Memory clock: 8Ghz, Voltage: 1.23v.) with an Intel Core i7-4960X @ 4.2GHz, 32GB DDR3 RAM @ 1866 CL9, and an SSD, only pulls 420w from the wall.
A solid gold or platinum rated 500w unit should be fine with that considering you will almost never be pulling full load. That being said, if overclocking the CPU and GPU to that extent, I would recommend a 600-750w unit just to be safe.
>>54307986
Okay, I'm actually glad you replied with that. Yeah u9s is good.
>>54308022
It's not that the power isn't enougj, it is. It just doesn't protect against potential spikes. At 430w you're just taking an uneccessary risk to save $30
>>54308014
muh dick
Why not have one of the fans in the middle of the CPU heatsink though?
>>54308025
Jaja
Here's my comparisons for the noise of the U9B-SE2 vs C7
Noctua:
https://youtu.be/WJnOKTobpRg
Cryorig:
https://youtu.be/EyAywRdFSD4
>>54308136
Because Thermalright are cunts and not only they make their fans in period red, but also opt for an unusual shape. That is, it's wider than it is tall by half an inch. A fan in the middle interferes with one of the screws on the GPU.
Solid fans otherwise. A wide 300-2500 RPM range, good static pressure, relatively quiet.
>>54306316

Question
What is that CPU cooler
And would you recommend it over a cooler master hyper 212 evo
Haven't posted in a while. hi /g/. Nothing has changed.
>>54308636
>fan grill on the inside
forwhatpurpose.jpg
Also looks like your starving your CLC of air..
>>54308679
That space is there (almost?) specifically for CLC's.
Or two fans, I guess.
>>54308679
I move my pc a lot, and the last thing I want is a cable falling in transit and hearing BRRRTRTRTRTRT when I turn it on. Opening the lid on my 250d is a pain because the GPU rubs against the top, so I'd rather just not screw with it.
As for the CLC, no it's not starved. The noctua moves quite a bit of air, and the GPU intakes quite a bit into the case as well. Even with CLC fans on 100% there's air exhausting passively through the 80mm mounts on the rear.
4690k is running at 4.6ghz 1.24V. I only ever have one or two cores that hit ~60°C, and that's only when it's around 75°F in my house.
Everything is peachy keen senpai
>>54308782
That's correct. Corsair designed the 250d to work perfectly and fit like a glove with the h100i.
>>54308789
Eh, I just thought that in your case (single very restricted intake vs. 2 less restricted fans on the CLC) it would just make everything noisier than it needs to be, but if you've tested it and it works, I guess it's fine.
>>54308479
Corsair Hydro H105
All depend on your need
In my opinion hyper 212 evo is way cheaper
and will do for basic overclock. if thats enough for you , no need to spend more. I've choose the H105 because i really love the aesthetic of it , not a fan of those big bulky air cooler , except for the BeQuiet Dark Pro 3 who simply look gorgeous. It also give me a lot of OC room for the 2500k , something i really enjoy when doing some stability test with P95 and IBT.
The H105 with the 4 fan @ 50% at full load will keep it cool without being fucking noisy.
Tl,Dr : go for it if you want aesthetic and performance and got the money , otherway stick with the hyper 212
>>54306411
Where do you get those cable extenders?
>>54308854
Oh, yes. It's pretty noisy, I won't lie. The 250d is one of the loudest cases I've ever heard lol. But that's really due to its design. Acoustics were definitely not considered.
I understand what you meant now. However, I would count the GPU fans as an intake really since they draw directly from outside the case (through a filter though). The fans on the matrix cards move a lot of air, but almost none is exhausted out the back. Maybe 10% if I had to guess.
So I guess it's sort of like a 3 intake, 2 exhaust setup.
>>54308955
I got mine from a local shop, but silverstone makes them and sells them to retailers.
Red, White, Black, Red/Black, Blue/Black, and Gold/Black are available.
I'd post mine but it's my first computer that I built myself and all the cables and wires are not neat at all. Good shit you guys got though, wish I had some blue lights installed.
>>54308911
I feel like some combs would improve those cables' aesthetics 10x
>>54309173

>>54309316
>all AIOs suck
Yep.
>>54309329
senpai, your bias is showing
there are objectively very good AIOs and objectively shit AIOs.
>>54309342
No. All AIO are shit designed for children incapable for doing a proper loop.
>>54309377
>heeelp meee I'm meeeeeelting
>>54309365
Why would I want a "proper" loop unless I plan on doing my GPUs and CPU. And if I am going that far thats $400-600 easy. AIOs allow me to have good CPU temps, beating all current air coolers on the market, and with good low RPM fans, are quieter as well.
Assuming you're the same faggot from last night, I have a 5 year warranty on my AIO and even with the cost of aftermarket fans, I am still under $170.
>>54309425
>it was just 170 and it cools as much as a 40$ air cooler!!!!!!
>>54309425
>and with good low RPM fans, are quieter as well
Yeah, nah. A CLC will never be quieter than a regular heatsink.
>>54309454
I mean, yeah... Just look up the noise level of the fans you're buying.
They're the same fans used on air coolers, so if you get similar fans and a decent sized radiator, it is certainly possible to beat air coolers in both cooling performance and noise levels.
>>54309445
I was comparing the price to a custom loop, I was never comparing it to an air cooler.
I much prefer the aesthetics of water cooling and would consider the money well spent even it performed worse. However, as long as you aren't retarded in which AIO you buy, and you get decent fans for it, you can beat the performance of the air cooler, and be out of the way and look nice, and be quieter.
It wont beat a custom loop, but again, at less than half the cost, it's a trade off.
>>54309520
>pumps are now totally silent
Sorry about your buyer's remorse, dude.
>>54309520
*shrug*
We can argue until we're blue, but I still won't agree with you. I've been around multiple CLCs and each and every pump produced a high pitched whine that was immediately apparent to me. I suppose some people can't hear them, but it's a deal breaker to me.
>>54309520
>I was never comparing it to an air cooler
Oh, no you weren't? Let me just quote you:
"AIOs allow me to have good CPU temps, beating all current air coolers on the market, and with good low RPM fans, are quieter as well. "
>I much prefer the aesthetics of water cooling
It's not water cooling stop calling it like that. It's CLOSED LOOP COOLER. which is inferior. But I guess you're going to defend your 170$ purchase of inferior cooling and quietness.
You're literally too retarded to make a DIY project and do a loop for your components.
>>54309377

Deploying fagstation
I've dusted this thing out and added the LED's to the RAM but I'm too lazy to take a new photo. I'm planning on replacing the H100i with an air cooler so I'll feel a little more comfortable leaving my PC on 24/7 and be able to put the moduvents back on top. Still waiting for Polaris. If the performance isn't as good as everyone is expecting I'll probably get a used 390X on eBay. Also, more storage. /blog
>>54310556
>I could've had a much better computer but I spent it all on rice instead
>>54310606
to an extent
I built this last summer, and the CPU/GPU/RAM/drives were from a different build, so it wasn't all built at once like this, plus the mobo was refurbished and I got it for less than half of retail
>>54309565
+1 to this.
I've had a CLC, I couldn't get proper silence until I swapped to low RPM air cooling.
>>54309716
>Water goes through a radiator, tubing, waterblock, and pump to cool the CPU
>hurr it's not WC unless its custom
>>54310251
Why is your GPU not in the top slot?
>>54310870
On this motherboard that particular slot always runs at x16 no matter what so it seemed like the ideal one for a GPU.
Recommendations for a good white LED kit?
>>54306787
This is how my station will look somewhen. Blue LEDs, blue-black sleeves, blue cooling liquid.
EK block for the CPU, Hydro Copper for the 1080Ti Classifieds. 420&280mm for the cooling. Andromeda, I'm on my way.
>>54309377
New case? Why not SilverStone?
>>54312143
why don't you ever take a better picture?
>>54313986
honestly mate I could if i wanted to but
A: I cant be fucked
B: the only responses I get now are about the shit picture or the IDE cable (I have a SATA drive currently unused)
>>54312652
How do you like the Thermaltake fans?
>>54314671
I like them a lot. Best looking fans out there without sacrificing functionality for aesthetics - they are quiet and powerful.
Be aware that the non-RGB ones are only 3pin though.
>>54312098
>>54306931
this is the Bitfenix Alchemy Kit!
its affordable and really easy to instal with
the built in magnet. way better then taped one

Don't worry senpai, you're already better than 90% of everything else that's been posted so far.
Really liking the white on black look you've got going on.

How do you make your photos look that good?
Is it some form of hdr?
>>54315177

>>54315204
Thanks anon still probably gonna post a better picture though, I'm not a perfectionist but I am very picky
>>54315236
I used to do HDR with my photos but I said fuck it and learned how to fake the look. It's a comination of re-contrast, shadows, exposure, highlights, and lots of burn tool in photoshop
>>54310251
Been thinking about getting this case... How was building in it?
Thinking about building my first PC. Any advice/parts on a good setup?
>>54316544
Pretty nice. There's a mess of cables behind the motherboard tray that makes me wish I'd gone for custom cabling or something, but in all it was easy to get everything installed and the basement is a real blessing for keeping all the cables out of sight.

Any possible interest in overclock ?
Any guts in this thread you are aiming for? What about aesthetic ?
>>54316649
Thanks I'll look into it
>>54316651
Not really interested in overclock. And aesthetic... Meh. I'm not picky
>>54316584
Cool. Thanks for the info
>>54316667
No need to spend on K-Serie cpu and Z170/Z97 mobo then , i5 serie are the best for you are aiming for. The newer i5-6600 or older i5 4690 will serve you well.
You can keep the stock cpu cooler or add a hyper 212 wich doesnt cost much!
As for case i really suggest you to take a look into phantek case! Awesome and clean! Enjoy your build!
>>54316727
Thanks man
>>54308136
Man, that C7 is loud isn't it? That's the problem with SFF under 10L or so -- there's no room to fit acceptably quiet coolers. You think you'll be happy downsizing to the A4?
>>54316772
Just a tad loud, yeah.
And by that I mean unacceptably loud to my ears, at least for use in the Ncase.
I'm not entirely sure, to be honest.
5L is a big difference, but I'm not certain it'll be worth it to me with my current hardware.
Regardless I'm going to get an A4, I'm just not sure I'll build into it until I get a lower TDP CPU, which might be a while.
Also note I've got my 3570K OC'd a little, if it's not OC'd it's not quite as loud since it doesn't have to work so hard with less heat to dissipate.
>>54316727
Is there much of a difference between the i5 4690 and the 4570? both non-k for 1080p gaming
>>54316826
eh, not TOO much, ~5% less CPU performance.
>>54316820
Underclock/undervolt your current CPU and see how it does.
>>54309377
The motherboard is upside down but the text on the gpu reads upright?
>>54316826
3.6ghz vs 3.9ghz
If you dont intend to overclock and the price isnt much id take higher but it aint gonna be a big difference
>>54316858
Currently undervolting as much as I can.
I'm not willing to underclock because I tried a 3570S and even before I got numbers back from benching I could tell it was slower.
It wasn't terrible but It wasn't worth it, definitely not worth it to change to the 3570S.
>>54316841
>>54316858
Any difference for 1080p gaming in non-cpu bound titles? I still don't get those benchmarks that show an increase in fps in far cry while using an i7.
>>54316973
in my opinion if you're not getting an unlocked CPU, get the highest clocked i5 you can afford.
>>54316998
I already got the locked 4570 (cheap, considering it was for 330 bucks including board and 4 gigs of ram
>>54309716
fuck off kid
hey /guts/, I want to downsize. Currently I'm using a Cooler Master CM90-II case, with specs as follows:
ASUS P8Z77-V PRO LGA 1155 mobo
I5-3570k
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Cooler
12gb RAM on 3 sticks
Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce 970 windforce
2 Samsung SSDs and a WD Black
I'm in the market to downgrade the size of my system, especially to Micro ATX, especially one that will fit my 970. Any ideas would be appreciated.
>>54318110
TJ08-E is a great case and can fit your 970.
Pic related is my mATX build and how it looked when I was waiting for my Ncase to arrive.
>>54318386
Sweet, thanks /g/uy!
How do you sleep with this shit? Do you shut down every night?
>>54318741
Mine isn't in the same room as my bed, and the lights are pretty dim.
I do shut down every night though.
Does anyone know of a Mini-ITX case that is actually made for small form factor PCI cards? It seems like all companies are trying to push for maximum compatibility and full length Titan sized cards but all I want is a tiny computer
>>54318741

Why wouldn't I? SSD makes it boot in like 20 seconds and I get to save on energy a little
