Any idea how to keep this bad boy cool? My SSDs go over 65C when I'm gayman. It's a node 202.
>>54345602
Show guts + airflow, probably a bad circulation of the gpu or cpu blowing into the ssds.
>>54345618
Most definitely is the case I feel. Theres no case fans in it. Suppose I should invest in slim profile ones.
>>54345602
Purge your gaymur machine and then kys
>>54345602
That's pretty hot. I'd look at issues with the case... or something. But I didn't even do proper cable management and I don't get temps like that. My case is r5 define or something and I have reasonable temps.
>>54345926
The SSD Caddy is at the bottom center of pic related. It's a very dense case however I think Haswell and AMD can create hell if sealed in metal and plastic. I'm upgrading my rig to an i7 and r9 nano and adding a case fan where the gpu no longer is.

>buy nvme drive
>thermal throttles while lurking
In a couple years, NVMe drives are going to need AIO solutions,
I bet i have the lowest specs in this thread
>>54346749
;^) send help
>>54346603
a clusterfuck of cables no wonder airflow is shit
that's not a modular PSU is it
get a bigger case or get a modular psu
>>54346837
>get a bigger case or get a modular psu
Honestly, a bit of both would do some good.
>>54346846
>>54346837
B-B-But my ITX Build. It's not my main rig, just my portable one. There isn't a single cable that isn't needed. Realistically I'm hoping once I switch to a nano and add a case fan it'll blow out all the hot ass air from the mobo/cpu and the gpu.
>>54346846
>>54346837
This case is super nice though...
>>54345602
Pretty average dude reporting in,
>>54347111
>AMD CPU and GPU
>Mah nigga
>>54347067
hot air rises
if that case doesn't have ventilation at the top and all your fans are expelling heat from the bottom instead of pulling cool air in from the bottom, it will get hotter than a PS4
>>54347111
At least get a SSD.
reporting
>>54347320
I have it in the standing position on the left, you can see the vent at the top. I've seen that awesomesauce dude on youtube had a 6700k and a nano there and had no real issues. he even managed to watercool it. Once my 4790 comes in and the nano with my noctua fan we'll see how she fairs. 8 logical cores should be stressed out alot less when gaming and with the smaller form nano and an actual case fan close to the SSDs rather than an r9 390 heatsink she should fare well yes?
>>54347424
>4K
>970M
WHY?
>>54347433
how's your room's ambient temperature?
>>54347436
What's wrong with either of these things?
I got 4k because I want a nice looking display
This laptop came with either a 970m or a 980m and desu I don't play games that much and 970m can play like any game at 1080p
>>54345902
Brutal man, brutal.
>>54347497
Yes but 1080p upscaled looks like shit.
>>54347436
How does this make you feel?
>>54345602
Speccy HDD edition :)
>>54347464
about 23-28C
>>54347538
puzzled and confused
>>54347520
It looks the same as 1080p always looks...
My resolution is exactly the same as a 2x2 grid of 1080p so the pixels just each quadruple in size
>>54347541
how long have you had those hard drives, the 4TB one in particular?
Thinking of just upgrading my GPU right now. Will my CPU be much of a bottleneck, if I'm just going to be playing games.
>>54347538
I once played with a 680 on 4K and things like BF4 shuttered due to the VRAM.
>>54347551
It looks blurry. Even 2K. I had to lower the resolution to get it playable until I got a better GPU. But in laptops you can't upgrade, there are only ultra expensive cards from China without any warranty.
>>54347541
You've got me beat on number of drives, but i've got you on total capacity.
What are you using your drives for anyway?
>>54347570
I don't know, do games require instruction sets your CPU doesn't have compared to newer generations?
>>54347570
i5 750 is kind of EOL. If you're staying at 1080p you might be ok for non cpu-intensive games.
>>54347552
I sometimes play games at 1600x900 because it scales well, but this certainly isn't a gaming laptop.
>>54347569
Ages, pretty much get a new drive every 6-12 months so the oldest ones are 1Tb, the latest ones are 2x 4Tb one of which went in a few weeks ago. I have max 8 SATA ports so I've cycled out countless other 1Tbs.
They're all WD Greens except the newest 4Tb which is a WD Blue 5400rpm, since they scrapped the "greens". Fucking lame.
>>54347585
>But in laptops you can't upgrade
Sure I can, with an Alienware Graphics Amplifier™, or when some USB-C/Thunderbolt solution comes out I could use that
But again, I don't play video games very often.
>>54347570
Depends on the game, but if you OC'd that i5 it should do fine.
>>54347634
I would have bought a Zenbook UX501 then. My favorite choice when I was in my laptop phase in 2013.
>>54347596
I also have a couple of external 2Tbs if that makes a difference? I use them for all sorts, mainly HDTV and Bluray movies but I have a massive amount of space dedicated for rainbow tables and password lists, NTLM, MD5, GSM, that kind of thing.
>>54347664
Thanks for telling me what you would have bought when I wasn't asking.
Just fall for the 256gib ram meme

>I also have a couple of external 2Tbs if that makes a difference?
I'm sitting at around 28TB including external.
>>54348163
Impressive. What are you using yours for?
What kind of set up do you have, is that some kind of NAS/Server or just a regular PC?
>>54345602
Your temps are fucking awful
Everyday until new PC
>>54348200
Anime, movies, TV, music, and then my encoding projects and some games.
I've got around 7TB free right now as I just picked up a new 5TB not long ago and have yet to start filling it.
I have around 1.5TB of SSD storage, of which around 300GB is free. All of that is programs, games, and some scratch space for working with larger files.
>>54348294
Nice rig, but wouldn't XP be comfier?
Some people need to step up their game or get out.
What's the point of these threads?
>>54348346
Maybe. I'm too used to W7 though
>>54348300
Really nice, totally Jelly of the SSD space you have, I really don't need anything fast other than for my OS and games. Most of my drives sit idle so I can't justify more than 5,400 rpm.
What encoding do you do? I've done some gameplay recording for my YouTube channel, sadly with these slower drives you can't record 4k at full res, you'd probably need SSDs or RAID SSDs for that.
>>54348427
The whole point is to showcase who has the most retarded build.
>>54348459
>What encoding do you do? I've done some gameplay recording for my YouTube channel, sadly with these slower drives you can't record 4k at full res, you'd probably need SSDs or RAID SSDs for that.
Some game encoding as well as encoding some blurays.
And you can probably get away with a large enough RAID 0 array of 7,200 RPM drives. Or an NVMe SSD.
Here is my boot SSD, samsung 950 pro m.2
>>54345850
Do you game on this? Pretty curious abot the 960 performance at 1440p
>>54348410
You use Windows.
>>54348508
950 Profist
>>54348532
I do yes.
Mainly CSGO, rocket league, stardew valley, and recently some dark souls 3.
I can play pretty much any game at 1440p, I just have to turn down the graphics in newer releases like DS3. For CSGO(my main game) though I have the settings at full and I get over 100fps.
>>54348555
>4k Q32T1 552.7
Go to settings < queues and threads
then go to random and change it to 4 threads.
1 thread maxes at 550mbps which is why you hit the limit there.
>>54348427
To look at peoples medium priced builds from 2 years ago.
>>54348427
To fellate Microsoft Windows, same as every other post on this board that belongs in /v/.
>>54348614
Thanks, you extended my epeen a little

oh shit nigger wtf are you doing?
get some front case fans. keeps my HDDs and SSDs nice and cool
>>54345602
>It's a node 202.
All fractal cases are ovens
>>54345850
Anon, those monitors, rate them 1 to 10 pls
Gonna buy 2

I run a minecraft server off of a similarly specced pc, I dont meme enough to go down and speccy it
>>54349311

No displayport out (so you can't daisy chain them), or USB hub makes it worse than the Dell U2515H.
That being said, I got mine for $265 each, and for that price they're a god damn steal.
I can easily recommend these monitors.
>>54349358
forgot picture
Built this about a month ago. It keeps pretty cool, but I'm considering adding additional fans up top and on the drive cage.
>>54345725
>no case fans
>>54349446
Swaggering build, friend.
Why even bother with Bluray drive though, with all that storage?

The r9 390s heatsink is so big that bastard won't hold 25mm thick case fans and it'd mostly be blowing into the gpu heatsink fans. The r9 nano and my noctua fan will be here thursday as well as my 4790k
>>54345602
How much better would dual E5 2660/2670s be performance wise compared to my current setup?
