>No IDE edition
Hallelujah Hallelujah, praise the lord.
>>54477832
the drive died so I was forced to replace it.
I also got some NZXT Braided LEDs, but I can't be bothered to take a pic with them on
>>54477866
well even without LEDs it looks a good deal better simply by not having an IDE cable.
Who /waiting for parts/ here?
Friend might be sending me graphics card and some ram tomorrow.
>>54478147
Don't tell me this is your main rig.
I've got an old P4 Dell, with 4GB RAM and GT6600, but it's just sitting there, gathering dust.
>>54478147
I'm waiting on some stuff, but none of it for my desktop.
A thinkpad x220 and two SP550 240GB SSDs should be showing up today whenever FedEx decides to show up.
>>54478200
You must be new here
>>54478211
Your mother must be new.
These threads, yeah, g not so much.
>>54478200
I've got you beat.
I've got a Q6600 and 8GB DDR2 with an R7-260x just sitting off in the corner gathering dust for the past 6-8 months.

>>54477804
Never got around to taking a better picture with proper lighting. My January 2016 build (main rig).
>>54479281
Always wonder how my build would look with an air cooler and Z97/4690k combo!
Looking good! Looking good anon!
How did you enjoy building in phanteks case ?
>>54479433
Felt amazing. This case is pure magic from how much it allows someone to build in. I took advantage of the cable management in this case had and putting everything in was a breeze.
My tech/gamer friends that helped me put it together were actually astonished at how much the case offers and how sharp it looks for the cheap price it is.
>>54479252
No actually, I just got done playing a game and for some reason the damn fans turned off. Right now it's idling at 32c.
>>54479217
You can obviously tell what my next upgrade would be.
>>54479973
I'd say a 4790k, but it'll probably fry itself under that tiny ass heatsink of yours.
Postan. Next upgrade is fairly obvious from the Speccy.
>>54480010
Yup, tried that. It was absolutely terrible.
>>54480040
Have you tried running it delided and undervolted? At 4Ghz, depending on your luck, you could run it sub 1V, and it'd be faster than a 4460. Still would need a fan to push all that heat out of the case somehow.
>>54480079
I actually acquired it through a trade with a friend. I ended up just selling it in a computer with a bunch of old guts to some old guy.
>>54480039
>alienware monitor
why
>>54480296
Got it for dirt new in box at a yard sale. Great display really, has antiglare and really does have lower eye fatigue. I test all my newly built systems on it. Same as a Dell 21.5 of the same vintage which was a solid monitor.
>>54477804

okay so i just got my gigabyte z170 mobo today so awesome news there I got most of it except cpu
Just saving up for the CPU now then i can retire picrelated
this Motherboard for 2 1/2 years has had a good run just replaced the Cmos battery today
Only got 2 sata channel left ther other 3 are dead and sound is dead (thank goodness for tv sound lol)
Too bad i was going to give this old one to my mum to replace her core 2 duo *sigh*

Go back to funnyjunk, you are clearly new here
>>54477907
What am I looking at, 2 CPUs or 1 CPU with two heat sinks? I didn't think they made dual CPU Mobos that small...
>>54483029
You can't be serious.
>>54483142
Actually no.
Can someone tell me why the motherboard heatsink directly under my CPU reaches 250 fahrenheit (or higher, I don't know, even Asus's own temperature monitoring program doesn't now). All I know is that it gave my finger a 2nd degree burn after touching it for 2 seconds
How can I fix this? Buying a new motherboard that costs more than 100 bucks? Or maybe I should buy a CPU cooler that also blows air on motherboard heatsinks?
All tips are welcome
>>54483908
Probably just a lack of airflow. Mobo makers were slow to realize that they can't assume a blowdown cooler anymore. Zip-tie a 40mm fan to it, or measure the retaining pins and see if one of the many tweak shops has a chipset heatsink with a fan that you can replace it with.

Yours is probably my favorite in this thread i would just change the poo fans but that's just my taste. I really want to go to a mini itx build hopefully the new amd gpus will be nano sized and just as good as the fury nano.

>>54480040
Get a xeon.
Haven't cleaned it a bit, also sorry about the shit picture will take better when I have time to do so.
>>54487040
Luckily the pool fans can't be seen in the node 202. I wanted something quiet and ramming a shit ton of air in the case. I appreciate the compliment though!
Saw a dude on CL who was looking for an Evolv ATX. Ended up selling him my case and mobo. ITX build coming tomorrow!
I won't have to reinstall Windows if I'm moving to a motherboard on the same chipset, right?
>>54487747
any recommendations? All I really do is play games.
>>54488109
>I won't have to reinstall Windows if I'm moving to a motherboard on the same chipset, right?
I actually swapped an SSD with windows from an FX-6300 to an i5-4690k build (same GPU though), worked perfectly and booted up fine first try.
I was actually pretty shocked.
>>54488070
makes sense that no one will see it. Makes sense since there are only a limited amount of fan spots. And no problem i eventually want to go to ITX for my main pc.
>>54488209
Go figure. Back in my first few builds it was always a total bitch to upgrade to a new chipset, even if it was the same manufacturer.
>>54487254

Good job with the consistancy
Hey guys my name is timothy and this is my first time posting so please be gentle
>>54488604
>>54488604
Hi I'm tomithy btw
>>54488604
with 2 980ti's in there you better not have anything short of a i5 6600k in there.
hello old friends
>>54480108
Shame, shoulda tried a cryorig c7.
>>54488321
I had 2 spots to maximize pressure. My nano stay cool which stays cool with my 4790k. If you do go with a mITX use a reference card or slim profile fans to keep GPU cool. My sapphire R9 390 would heat my SSDs to an uncomfortable temperatures. 60C+
>>54489148
speccy?
>>54489266
Maybe not, thought I heard it was better, looks they whoever said that may have been mistaken.
>>54483908
How is that fan attached to the 212?
>>54487254
That card sag is giving me an aneurism.
>>54488209
Same for me, but phenom ii to 6600k. Did a clean install anyways.
>>54488604
Is that an aftermarket VRM heatsink or something?
Anyone ever shell out for a nice soundblaster sound card. Are they worth it or just meme?
>>54477907
how is the tj08-e?
i really want one as my next case
is it easy to remove the front fan?
>>54488604
gpu cables are a bit wonky
leds are uneven and too bright
>>54489982
I like it, but I think it's over engineered. Front fan goes way down below its rated spec on DC control (mine has like 250-1200 rpm range), but others have found it to be noisy. I like its sound profile. Running it past like 500 makes it audible, past 700 noticeable, past 900 loud. The sound it produces is a low pitch whoosh. Just air moving, no screechy bearing noise. Moves a fucton of air. Removing it might be a problem. To get access to it you need to remove the front panel, and its held in place by either 4 or 6 tiny ass screws in awkward positions. Case works well with passive/semi-passive PSUs, ss there's a went on top. Straight front to back airflow, my case temps are barely a degree or two over room temps. Everything is held together by screws. Building in it takes some planning due to limited room.
I quite like it, but its not for everyone.
>>54478274

Dude, what? It's a standard mATX board with a dual tower heatsink.
>tfw ableton live 9 keeps crashing in windows 10

Plz 1080 come out and save me from coil whine
>>54490400
Have you tried overclocking/underclocking your card? Or locking framerate to 60/120fps? Sometimes that helps.
>>54490460
All of the above. I can't be to mad since I got the card so cheap but the coil whine is killing me
>>54490482
Yeah I get you, I'm pretty anal about noise too, coil whine/buzz would be a no go for me as well.
>>54482504
83C with BF4 @ 4k, that's the highest load I can put on it currently.
How capable is my CPU of crashing everything while I'm trying to play a game as recent as Dying Light? I'm asking because my memory is cheap too.
>>54490482
Ah well, some PSU/card combinations just don't work out. You could use an old mechanics trick - put a lenght of pipe to your ear and hovering it over the card find the noisy component, the drown the fucker in epoxy. High chance of fucking with the components thermals and killing the card though.
>>54488109
>i5-4790

>>54490603
Speccy a shit.
>>54490591
That would work a billion years ago when the chokes were not all sealed. You could use hot snot, I did it on an old Rage Fury card. Anymore they are all sealed up.
Tired like 3 different power supplies as well, all of em whine. Shit is very pronounced though so I dont think its a combo problem but just a bad choke.
Like I said though, 1080 will save me and the poor slob that buys the 290x off me won't be able to hear it over the stock cooler anyways
Post.
>>54490736
Is that a Thermaltake case?
>>54490736
Hello Australia.
>>54490747
No, it's a Corsair 600Q.

>>54490519
It's because you're using Fahrenheit you dip
>>54484999
Thanks, I have now zip-tied a 40mm fan to the heatsink and my finger doesn't explode when I touch it anymore!

Stupid question
How bad is it for temperatures if I let my rig open
>>54493294
depends entirely on your ambient temperatures.
If you happen to have ambient temps under 20c, it'll probably run decently cool, even with the side panels off.
If however you are in the middle of the desert or some shit, and ambient temps are 40c+. Your rig will run hot as hell.
Be gentle, i know it looks poo
>>54493496
>that motherboard
>that CPU
were those accidents or given to you maybe?
Or did you actually buy those specifically for that rig?
>>54493535
nailed it, i "acquired" the i7 and already had the board, and proceeded to throw this together. trust me a board replacement is first on my list
>>54493590
I figured that must have been the case, no one who knew what they were doing would have paid to do something like that.
I can def see it happening if I had the parts on hand however.
Looks good for what you're working with.
(mine >>54477832)
>>54493627
ooooh, it is very pretty. I could never go full size ATX though, empty slots sadden me :( Even with my PCIe SSD it would look too sparse. recommend any good M-ATX boards with a proper chipset and enough CPU/PCH lanes to accom my 390 and Kingston Predator SSD ?
>>54493663
i must add though, this motherboard while being a "business" chipset, handles the stuff i want to do extremely well. and has ASUS' shiny yoofy bios to play with :)
>>54493663
I'm on 128KB/s internet for the next two days so I can't help you there.
I mainly stick with MSI, Asrock, Asus, or gigabyte.
For what you're doing though you don't need anything too fancy, so most of those companies should have at least 1 or 2 motherboards suitable for your needs.
Any chipset should be able to handle your 390 + an SSD without getting bogged down.
>>54493731
cool thanks, out of interest what was the main "what the fuck" in your mind about this particular motherboard paired with this CPU ? I knew it wasn't ideal but i feel you see a problem i missed :)
At first glance just the fact it's mATX with all the DIMMs full and PCI slots used.
then glancing at the Speccy told me it was a low end business chipset. Which had me glance at the CPU and when i saw the S moniker I figured you got it for free, or were a retard. Glad to know it was the former.
>>54493826
haha fair enough, i'm glad you appreciate my use of an S variant CPU. I've had many people try to shit on me for using it as if they would honestly turn down a free i7 just because it isn't a k-series.
>>54493845
Nothing wrong with the S variants besides the gimped performance compared to the full SKU. But the 4790S is a perfectly capable CPU in it's own right, just not when compared directly to it's K series brother.
>>54493871
exactly, i bet there are more people running un-overclocked k-series chips than there are people running slightly nerfed variants to their full potential lol
>>54493895
oh for sure, but I would still avoid an S variant if given the choice. But as they say, free is best.
>>54493895
>tfw run a K chip at stock
Still, I like having more control over the chip. Run it undervolted for muh quiet.

>>54493973
given how badly i need a new board, and that i got the chip for free, and that ive already spent a fair bit on GPU and peripherals. im seriously debating making the jump to 2011v3 just for the better chipsets and board qualities. but those big chips are so damn expensive man. unfortunately i don't have access to anything newer than LGA 1150 at the moment
>>54494026
I upgraded from an A10-7850k to this i7-5820k.
The difference was staggering.
>>54494000
how many times a day do you have to justify that to yourself bro ? :)
>>54494026
Seeing all these rigs with i7s and skylakes I ask myself: would an i5 4440 botteneck a gtx 970?
>>54494042
ooh the 5820k does look like a monster, but im wondering if your experienced performance increase is due to simply switching from AMD haha
>>54494050
Didn't mean to quote btw
>>54494044
Usually 'bout 8 times a day. Every two hours, sans when I'm sleeping. I've got an alarm set on my phone.
>>54494050
in 90% of games no, in a few rare exceptions maybe.
Very CPU intensive games could bottleneck you, but that 970 is still going to be your bottleneck in most games.
>>54494057
Oh for sure that was part of it. I do some encoding for my own personal use and the 7850k simply was unusable for that purpose unless I wanted to wait literally days. This 5820k however does in hours what my 7850k would take 2 days on.
>>54494050
not at all, but i've always been suspicious of i5's and their lack of hyperthreading
>>54494080
>>54494082
I saw it happening on gta 5 on some youtube videos. It goes all its way to 100% while the 970 is around 90%
>>54494082
hyper threading is useless for gaming though, for very paralleled workloads, hyper threading can be fantastic, but gaming is rarely a situation where it matters.
>>54494104
GTA5 is a game that loves CPU and RAM, it's one of the 10% of exceptions i mentioned.
>>54494082
>>54494104
oh shit rly ? is this just bad marketing on intel's behalf, surely everything needs hyperthreading now right ?would a top end i3 be better in some situations ?
>>54494121
real cores are ALWAYS better than hyper threading.
an i3 will never beat an i5 unless the i5 was underclocked to hell and the i3 overclocked past reason.
What do you guys use to control your fan speeds? I put in some new fans and they are loud as fuck and not listed under my bios.
How do you guys like it?
>>54494170
PWM headers on the motherboard are directly controlled by the BIOS.
>>54494170
PWM.
>>54494170
not listed ? they should just be on the first screen of the bios called case fan_01 or something. failing that if you have an asus board, AI suite's fanxpert is pretty cool and works great, set up your profiles and all that guff. and finally throw those shit fans away and get noctua's
>>54494189
Arizona and Tabasco out of 10.
>>54494170
If they are connected directly to the PSU they can't be monitored. This is why 3 pin fans are cheaper.
>>54494026
5820k is a great upgrade if you can utilize the power. I upgraded from a 4570k because I had some video encoding software that can make use of a hex core chip. And yes, the 5820k loves to be OCd, I have my own set to 4.3GHz stable at 1.31v though it doesn't really need it. Best bang for buck if you never plan on running 3+ GPUs as a 5820k can be had for around 300 and less if you bundle a board (microcenter anyway). I'd post a pic, but its already used in a guts thread.
>>54494320
this IS the guts thread, do you mean it's used the the bst thread im also wasting time on right now ? :)
>>54494320
You can post images in other threads, just for future reference.
>>54494294
Actually I suppose you could do it manually by manipulating the voltage with resistors or something. Absolutely retarded idea though.
>>54494357
Ah I guess that had changed. And yes, its above in this thread, im posting on mobile and following about 6 so I got sidetracked. Pic unrelated, nust a old build for a buddy.
