Still OP edition
>>55091414
First for getting that fucking cpu power cable unplugged.
Rate, hate, whatever
Tear me a new one plox
>>55092316
Face towards a light source or use flash. Seems like a good machine though. Good cables from what I can tell.
>>55092364
When the reference 290 and the Asus mobo blend just right
(Unintentional)
who said p-ata nap was messy ?

Thanks stock 290 :)
>>55092286
>CPU fan slightly tilted
I love it senpai.
>>55092569
that's how it is supposed to be mounted
>>55091414
Put the back side panel on, it will look cleaner
>>55092599
thats not what a guts thread is
>>55092628
Nice an clean man. What case is that?
>>55092647
No, the other side panel. So we can't see through the other side of the case
>>55092708
antecs phanthoo evolves
>>55092708
not him, but its a Phantex Evolv ATX
>>55092592
Just like ur fedora
>>55092744
>>55092722
I did that, but it makes the build look extremely dark. Pic is my upgrade that was shipped broken (returned, still using the 6300) with side panel on
>>55092750
>>55092722
ok not the best example but the picture came out better with the back panel off
Seen this posted here a few times. Can anyone tell me what these fans/case/mobo are?
>>55092628
>Backplated gpu
>Still sacking
Good job. How about spending 0.02$ on a few zipties?
>>55092792
Case is Lian Li PC-A04, Fans, are Corsair AF or SF120s, MoBo is an Asus P8P67. That took me 2 minutes to find on google
>>55092947
why was the xbone such a pos?
>>55092927
thank you!
>>55092988
So it didn't overheat like PS4.
Remember, it's using AMD hardware, it's prone to overheating.
>>55091414 (OP)
Still no 1070/1080 edition
what should i get, 2x 1070 or one 1080 hoping to eventually upgrade to 2 but probably never will :p
>>55092836
Wtf are zipties supposed to do shitwick.
>>55091414
OP, the eternal
>>55093155
2x RX 480
Same price as a 1070, performance of a 1080. You have the PSU to power it
>>55093176
I should be getting the Cougar Ncase Ripoff (QBX) and zen around christmas time, that should bring some variety to the thread
>>55093174
To stop the gpu from sacking. Put ziptie on the gpu (any hole on the backplate, heatsink or pcb even) to the corner closest to mobo and tie it to the case tightly, so that it doesnt hang freely.
>>55093155
Neither, until you start seeing 1070's and 1080's for a decent price. (350 and 550) instead of (450 and 699)
Hey, RX480's are 60c maxed out on stock heatsink, get double the performance of a 780 :P
And dual CPU mobos usually only have one x16 slot
What CPUs do you have?
>>55092495
>dem full-length expansion cards
I wish they still made those, I want some
Core2Quad 8200
2 + 1 GB DDR2 800MHz
ATi Radeon 4670 512MB.
Daily reminder that cable management provides no tangible benefits and is purely an esthetic choice.

>>55093501
>Implying we don't know this
>>55092495
Bless this wonderful classic build.
>>55092628
My son, how goes your soundproofing?
Alright /g/, suggest further improvements I can make to my build
>>55093548
If I'm being picky, the cables to the right of your mobo are very obvious, and the GPU cables look crooked, straighten them up
yo fuck bois
just transitioned from this
>>55093580
to this
don't worry, the smudges are gone and you will see 2 rx480 in it when they're available
>>55093576
Good points. I've had trouble with both, but I'm not sure if there's anything to be done about the 8pin CPU power line.
>>55093580
that CPU cooler is the most /CSG/ thing I've ever seen in guts
>>55093338
That's a little bigger than I thought it was, huh.
Still, I look forward to your Zen build, anon.
>>55093772
>That's a little bigger than I thought it was
lots of features though. Properly supports ATX PSUs, 4 2.5" drive slots, slimline CD drive, 3.5" drive slot, 370mm GPU support and 5 120mm fan slots.
only £35 too, 6x cheaper than the ncase
>>55093501
>implying I didn't do it for muh aesthetics
>>55093501
>using linustechtips as a credible source
>>55093814
The Ncase does a lot of that, but like you said, at 6x the cost.
What Su you mean by "proper" ATX support?
160mm psu+ normal length gpu at the same time?
>>55093600
what did you do senpai?
>>55094500
i went from huge atx to compact matx with dual gpu's
>>55093548
Very good senpai.
>>55093353
And have a retarded ass ziptie hanging around no thanks. I rather just get a pci hanger that could suspend my gpu. Still pointless either way.
>>55094497
The Cougar only supports 140mm ATX PSUs with long GPUs.
>>55094497
Ncase has a big of a dodgy way of supporting ATX PSUs, it was obviously designed for SFX. The cougar is designed for ATX
>>55094497
>Ncase does a lot of that
oh yeah and much more, it's an obviously superior case in every way but I can't afford a £250 case when I can get a chink ripoff that actually isn't shit for £35. I'm used to crap cases, I've had 2 zalmans
Old build
>>55093312
>>55093372
I don't like AMD personally, bad experiences.
of course ill wait a while before i buy but then it still comes down to one 1080 or two 1070.
also, the board has 4x 16 lanes and 3x 8 lanes.
And its running 2670's
>>55084283
I just saw this reply, the answer is no, I don't have side panel fans.
Only fans in my build are PSU, GPU, and the one on the m9i.
>>55094886
So the same as the Ncase,then.
>>55095097
It can support bigger with smaller GPUs
It also doesn't seem like an afterthought, like with the Ncase
>>55095097
I think the Cougar can support modular 140mm PSUs with a long GPU, whereas the M1 can't.
>>55095111
The M1 was designed for SFX PSUs first and foremost; ATX support was added by request during development because it was possible to do without affecting the dimensions.
>>55095111
The Ncase supports longer psus with short gpus too.
I used to have a 160mm modular + evga 750ti in mine.
I'm pretty sure someone fit a 180/190mm non modular PSU in It for giggles once too.
>>55095204
200mm, in fact.

>>55095195
I could see that, the qbx could mount the PSU .5-1cm higher which would make that work.
Need advice
>>55095337
try to group all wires and it will looks better
>>55095420
I already bread tied them underneath the optical drive :/ I can't route anything behind the panel either
>>55095493
Can you run those 2 sata(?) cables between the motherboard and mobo tray?
It looks like you have enough slack.
Also that red and blue cable could have the bundle moved to one end or the other so it's less obvious.
>>55095692
no they won't reach, one goes to the dvd drive up top. it's an awkward case to cable manage. I might try wrapping the fan wires around the fan like I did on the rear exhaust fan.
My niggasssss
What's going on this evening gentlemen?
Anyone here know if the msi z97s sli krait is a good mobo? I fear that my current board can't handle it if i try to go to 4ghz and maube beyond with my 4690k
>>55096104
the same as every thread
guy with shit cables refuses to fix them
I'm OP
ITX circlejerk
same guy posting the Nvidia case
LinusTechtips cable science "duhh cables do nothing"
Couple of new ones this time atleast
I might get the Cougar Ncase copy soon-ish (when zen drops)
>>55096113
MSI doesn't make good mobos
>>55096135
I'll be looking forward to it. I hope the Cougar logo is removeable, that would make it pretty nice looking.
>>55096148
Actually at least on their higher end X99 motherboards they use a retarded amount of high quality surface mount components. MSI has really stepped up over the past 5-10 years
i don't have any friends so i seek validation online: the thread: the repost
pathetic
>>55096231
You're on /g/.
You're literally here for the same reason.
>>55096179
it looks to be stuck on shittly, like with Zalman cases. Should come off easily
>>55096314
Yeah. The pictures I've seen look like a semi-metallic sticker.
Need a new GPU
>>55096452
480
the 470 firestrike scores have been released, and it equals a 970. should be £110/$150
480 equals 980/1070 for $199/£150
>>55096471
Yeah really considering it.
I game on a 1080p 60hz monitor, but when I feel like lounging, I hook it up to my 4K TV so something with a bit more of a punch might suit me better though.
>>55096518
by the looks of things, double RX 480 8gb seems to be a better option than a single 1080. If the firestrike benchmarks transfer into games AMD owns this generation. A single 480 is perfect for 1080p 60hz at max settings
>>55096549
Yeah maybe that's the way to go then, thanks. Any word on a commercial release date?
AMD has that virtual super resolution thing that ups the resolution to 1440p somehow. What's that about? I'd be arsed if I could see the difference desu, other then a slight framer rate hit.
Ignore the trash, its not there anymore.
Sold the 970 and am picking up a 1070 classified as soon as it releases.
>>55096590
What the hell, I typed "though", not sure why it made it desu? I've never used that in my life
>>55096590
its in the Crimson settings, super simple to set up. The 480 is coming out this year definitely, as is Zen. Im going itx with the Zen CPU that equals a 4460 in price and a 480
>>55096220
so is that a yes or no? If not, do you have any other suggestions for black/white/orange mobos that don't cost an arm and a leg (max budget of 200€)
>>55097199

>>55097199

I've heard good things, but haven't really talked to any enthusiasts with the case
Pic related; New PC build (video card undecided)
>Criticism encouraged
>>55097867
Also, prices in CAD (In case they seem high)
>>55097867
>>55097886
power supply in 80+ gold or better ?
be quiet make really nice PS, mine is totally quiet ( "lol" )
you should look at in win case, they're cool and not expensive for the good they are
>>55097867
>AMD
Wait 2 weeks
>>55098069
Like I said, video card undecided;
I was thinking about waiting until MX has the GTX1080 off of back-order, and at a more competitive price
I'm also contemplating 2 RX 480X's in Crossfire, but not sure as to whether or not it's worth it.
>Updated pic, more accurate configuration, less dated
>>55097972
The selection of attractive InWin cases at MX is fairly limited, sadly. It could also be that I'm just not too fond of their aesthetic.
I like minimalistic, sleek cases for the most part, and I've had a good history with NZXT so far.
>>55098148
Is 200 $ for a motherboard really necessary?
>>55098178
Canadian prices; DDR4 capable motherboards start at $160
>>55092182
More progress. How am I doing /g/ents?
gpu is sold.
wonder if its worth re-installing my old XFX 260 gtx black edition for SC2
well, first piece of the puzzle guys
i gotta say, this is the first time ive ever owned new hardware, nice hardware at that, nothing fancy, but not shit
ive never owned ram with heat spreaders
ive never had more than 2gb of ram
i didnt know modern ram was so long, and heavy
now im just waiting on the motherboard and GPU this week, when i get paid ill get the PSU, processor, SSD, and probably some case fans
do motherboards come with those little mounting hex screws that go behind them to rise them off the case? the case im using was old as shit, and someone put locktite on the motherboard screws, so two of the hex's came out
moving is a pain in the ass
>>55099485
Gtx 960 in a build that seems weak af. Do you do very little gaming? Planning on getting a 480 / 1070? You have a nice rig, the gpu just seems mismatched.
i spent the past 3 days working on my computer that wasn't posting .
i tried 2 different gpus, 2 different psus, 2 different sets of ram, 2 different cases, 2 cpus AND 2 coolers before realizing it was the motherboard .
RIP ME
>>55099705
Buy another mobo/ case, rebuild old computer, Craigslist it. Enjoy new parts. Profit/break even.
Got the 780 earlier today, time to OC it.
>>55099738
the case and mobo are already replaced . i'm posting from my compy
>>55099859
neat
>>55099859
Why?
>>55100089
Why a 780? Got it from a friend for free, he just upgraded to a 1080 and didn't want to sell it so I am using it for a while.
>>55099618
my gaming at the moment consists of CSGO and the occasional KOTOR 2 playthrough.
This rig is mainly for encoding.
>>55100141
Fair enough. Just seemed unusual.
>>55100124
No why do you have both in your system
holding out for RX 480
>>55100479
what are the specs
>>55100526
It's obviously a cheap as fuck system, that;s why he is going AMD anon
>>55100437
Oh both my dell monitors are analog and the 780 only has one analog connection, so I have one monitor hooked up to the 650 and I am using it as a dedicated PhysX card. After running some tests though I have found that in some games with demanding PhysX it actually brings down performance so I am right now trying to figure out if overclocking the 650 will benefit the PhysX performance.
>>55100544
but poolaris looks promising
>>55100526
alienware x51 r2
i7-4770 3.5 GHz / Turbo Boost up to 3.9 GHz
1 TB seagate sshd
16 GB 1600mhz DDR3 Kingston HyperX FURY
330W external powerbrick
i could run GTX1080 in it but im cheap, waiting for rx480 then ill save up for 1080 when price drops.
>>55100641
the 480 should be fast
>>55097867
Yeah the S340. I like it a lot; it's a quality-feeling modern design. Have fairly now temps, so airflow is decent.
Apparently the H440 is a better mid tower also from NZXT... But I actually preferred the way this one looks
>>55100552
It won't help, trust me.
>>55100737
Ya ran a couple tests and over clocks don't seem to help, I was reading some articles about running dedicated PhysX card, seems it's only beneficial if the card can handle the PhysX for said game, the 650 I am using falls short in Batman so far. I mainly wanted it to boost performance in Fallout 4 when I switch to a 1440p monitor. I still need it to run all of my monitors though. I might just go buy a 27 inch 1080p that is on sale right now and ditch one of the dells.
>>55100744
you can't post that and not explain
>>55100824
should have gotten a modular psu, and fuck itx meme
>>55100824
>>55100839
also if i dont use duct tape the wires get caught in the fan, my last computer caught on fire that way
>>55100872
shit man
>>55098573
Could hide cables better and also woould suggest if you can routing the cpu cable under the gpu or something. Looks odd going over it.
>>55099859
That card looks pertty mean. Points for the qt gpu.
>>55100479
nice tiny system.
i normally have a 390 .
currently using a 7850
>>55100924
>>55098573
Work in progress.
>>55101242
Its getting better. Keep working at it man.
>>55095337
fuckin sweet
I really need to take a new pic soon, nothing has changed sans moar ram. My GS3 just has such a shitty camera...
>>55101275
Anything you recommend changing before booting back up? Once everything is plugged back in ofc. This was my first build. Decided the "good enough for now" cables weren't good enough any more.
>>55101420
I would say the front panel connectors could be better routed but can only do so much.
>>55097367
Make sure it works for a few weeks, then paint it.
Hey guys, I'm back with a different motherboard! My internal PSU cable died too.
>>55101612
How them temps at load? Also is that a Nano?
>>55102072
With a custom fan curve: pretty good, no more than 75-79C. The biggest concern is the CPU temps which can get pretty up there when running GTA5. Need a better CPU cooler with a bigger heatsink. The L9i is great though. Oh and yes it's nano.
>>55095071
>I don't have side panel fans.
Looking good my man, planning on cutting a window on my side panel.
be gentle
>>55102232
Looks pretty Allright. Is that a 500r case? You can remove that unused hdd cage for better airflow. I like that the ram matches the vrms.
Is that yellow tag in the top necessary?
Cable management is like 8/10.
Overall pretty good guts.
>>55102333
Yep, you got a good eye. This is actually an older pic but I recently removed the cage you're talking about. Definitely helped the 980's temps.
This build used to match a lot better (had a 970 ssc in there with the blue highlights - see pic) but when the 3.5 fiasco happened I returned it for a 980 FTW. If you want to be as sperg as I am regarding colors, the "FTW" tag hidden behind the power cables is blue. heh.
I was thinking of replacing the fans for the blue Corsair fans, but when I got rid of the 970 I said meh.
>>55102377
I recognized the case because I've just spent hours rooting around in it.
I turned pic related into
>>55101242. Still not pretty but it's improved considerably. I didn't color coordinate at all when I bought the parts, but I should have bought silver ram to match gpu and vrm. Hyper 212 evo coming soon.

>>55101242
that's a lot better. All the cables sat in the bottom, just shove them behind the mobo tray
>>55102232
looks good. tuck that random fan connector away, make the Front Panel Audio cable hug the side of the case, and take out the un-used hard drive.
Good job on the USB3 and MoBo cable
>>55092383
Nice PSU
>>55103323
No the anon you were replying to, but I believe that random fan connector poking out is for the large fan on the side panel that comes with the case.
>>55102684
Are (You) retarded
>>55092792
Are your cables routed behind the board? Have a picture?
>>55103851
are you?
I'm waiting for AMD Radeon RX 480 :)
Anyone have any suggestions? Work in progress, probably going to add some white lighting. My CPU power on the mobo is an a really awkward spot so cable management is kinda poor
