My nigga.
Why'd you have to go with the ugliest 960 with the shitty reference cooler though ?
>>55250982
because it's a holdover card until I get a 1070, unless the RX 480 looks amazing. It was actually on sale compared to the 2GB version when I bought it, literally only reason I bought it was the sale.
The 5820k doesnt have an iGPU so I needed something to hold me over until the new cards came out. The 960 has the most advanced features(hardware VP9 and HEVC decoding, hardware HEVC encoding, HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0, etc) at the cheapest price.
>>55251020
Oh, I see. I'm looking forward to seeing it with a nicer GPU, then.
I'd suggest painting the yellow bits on your motherboard's heatsinks white, though.
>>55251121
>I'd suggest painting the yellow bits on your motherboard's heatsinks white, though.
i've debated it, but with the lights on it's hardly noticeable. and i'm unsure how a 2nd layer of paint would effect temps on the VRMs, I could sand the yellow layer off then paint on a white layer, but that seems like a lot of work for something that is purely aesthetics.
If it does happen it will be when I get the new GPU.
Recently finished build.
How'd I do?
>>55251223
I would have waited for a non-reference GTX 1080, but besides that you did good.
>>55251255
The only non-reference 1080s that would fit in this case were the ACX 3.0 and G1 Gaming as far as I could tell. Those two don't seem worth the wait.
>>55251286
anything that isn't that shitty reference cooler is worth the wait, especially in a tiny ass case like that. But hey too late now.
>>55251292
>especially in a tiny ass case like that
How is dumping the hot air inside this tiny ass case better?
I bought a Zotac AMP edition because I couldn't find the dimensions anywhere, and it raised all my temps by at least 10 degrees even without the side panel I couldn't put back on.
>>55250860
Now this, is a really very pretty machine.
>>55251319
>raised temps even without side panel.
as should be expected

>>55251319

Well, yes. Removing your side panel fucks your airflow.

>>55251554
>7/10 case seems so big
It's huge. I decided to go with a huge case for future water cooling plans.
I'm going to put a 360mm radiator in the top once my bank account allows me to spend a lot of money on a CPU cooler.
Also on the list of things to do is a new PSU and all white power cables, as well as all black SATA cables.
>>55251190
I think you should do it, maybe remove some of all those lights too. Probably not all of them, but goddamn that's a lot of lights.
Either way, painting those heatsinks white will look amazing, especially if you get a graphics card that matches the black colour scheme with white accents, as opposed to a big white box.
>>55251691
Good luck getting Haswell-e working on linux. So many headaches trying to get shit working.
Linux works best with Xeons or consumer level parts. Haswell-e support is shit.
>>55251719
Care to shed some light on these alleged problems? I've had zero problems on my two Gentoo boxes with 5820k's for the last two years.
>consumer level parts
And X58, X79 or X99 platforms arent 'consumer parts'? Wow, marketing really works.
>>55251737
SUPER QUIET/10
>>55251746
>Wow, marketing really works.
Or rather some /g/ nonsense, because Intel sure as hell doesnt market these sb's or cpu as 'non-consumer' parts.
>>55251746
It depends on your motherboard entirely, from my experiences some motherboards are just fine, others however cause major issues and there is little to no support out there trying to troubleshoot what the issues might be.
>>55251746
>And X58, X79 or X99 platforms arent 'consumer parts'? Wow, marketing really works.
They're prosumer parts. The normal person will never need x58/x79/x99. The professional or semi-professional will. which is why they are prosumer parts, for the higher end market.
I'm sorry you don't like marketing, but you can't deny there is a VERY clear cut divide between the normal consumer boards and features, and prosumer, and then professional (xeons).
>>55251784
>prosumer
>>55251769
this,if you have some 500 dollar meme gaymer board and you are running linux,something is wrong with you
meanwhile the cheap X99 Asrock and Gigabyte boards offer actual value
>>55251784
>prosumer
>professional
These are non-sense terms. There in consumer and then industrial space, nothing more.
I'm sad to see some people parroting bullshit when enough ignorant voices do so.
>>55251769
I've read of problems booting 'legacy' and uefi boot loaders, but have not encountered them myself (i have Asrock OC Formula board's on both systems). DDR4 does seem to have some major incombatibility problems and i coudnt get certain Kingston RAM's to recognize no matter what.
>>55251796
>there are 3 distinct segments to the market
>low end consumer
>??????
>high end professional
So what would you call it, you moronic frogposting faggot? It's not a normal consumer level part, it costs easily double what 3/4 of consumers need. Why should it continue to fall under the normal "consumer" classification because YOU'RE autistic and can't handle the fact it's on its own level?
It isn't the late 90s or early 2000s anymore where even a basic computer would cost $1000+, this is 2016 where I can go buy a decent computer for $400-500 that will be more than sufficient for the vast majority of people.
When you have $100 motherboards and $100 CPUs for the masses, you MUST admit it's retarded calling a $350+ CPU and a $250+ motherboard on the same level as the normal shit.
>>55251847
>expensive means its for profeshionals
ebin
>>55251863
When did I say that? You can stawman if you like, but you're still an idiot.
The 5820k is 6 core, 12 threads, 15MB L3 cache. It isn't on the same level as consumer parts. It's just a fact.
>>55251876
The FX-8350 is 8 core, 8 threads, motherload of l2 cache (thank God for huge cache missing!). It isn't on the same level as consumer parts. It's just a fact.
>>55251900
It's 4 modules with 2 cores per module and they share memory resources. Not exactly a true 8 core like the 6900k or 5960x.
Also
>AMD
>not consumer
Toppest of kek's unless you're running quad socket Opteron or something for SQL database or similar.
>>55251223
Not bad. Quite a few drives.
>>55251876
But "it's expensive" is the only point you've made on why something is for professionals
>>55251959
No, it isn't It's the feature set, more PCIe lanes, Quad channel memory, base core count is 6 instead of 2. Hyperthreading is default, all are unlocked multiplier, none of them have integrated GPUs meaning you MUST buy a dedicated GPU.
They are obviously not for the normal consumer, anyone making the argument that they are consumer level parts is living in the past.
>>55251915
>It's 4 modules with 2 cores per module and they share memory resources.
Yup, but thats not what it tells the kernel.
This is really like talking with leftists, who change the meaning of words with every sentence and the same argument doesnt work when it's expressed by non-commies.
Well, you can keep justifying your hugely overpriced purchases with whatever nonsense you come up with. I've just dealed with the fact i have bought into overpriced chipset and cpu. And the markets will keep working in two distinct spaces: consumer and industrial.
>>55251988
>No, it isn't It's the feature set, more PCIe lanes, Quad channel memory, base core count is 6 instead of 2. Hyperthreading is default, all are unlocked multiplier, none of them have integrated GPUs meaning you MUST buy a dedicated GPU.
FX-8350 has more PCIe lanes than 5820k, 8 cores instead of two or four, has unlocked multiplier and doesnt have igpu.
>>55250982

Sup bros. Go for 2.5" storage, drop those HDD's.
>>55252021
>FX-8350 has more PCIe
PCIe 2.0 lanes are NOT PCIe 3.0 lanes you literal retard.
Also it doesnt have an iGPU because the motherboard does.
and AMD cores are not even close to intel cores so stop trying, you're embarrassing yourself.

>Sup bros. Go for 2.5" storage, drop those HDD's.
yeah... did you even look at how much storage space I have? I don't think I can afford $6,000+ to replace my HDDs with SSDs. Not to mention needing more SATA connections and places to put the SSDs.
>>55252024
The 750D doesn't have enough 2.5" slots for that, and I'm not replacing my HDDs just to have smaller HDDs.
That said though, I probably will fill up all of the 2.5" slots as well eventually, because I keep just adding more storage instead of freeing up space.

>What temps are you getting on that NVMe drive?
No idea, it doesn't read temps.
I have an IR thermometer but i'd have to take off my side panel and shit for that. As long as you aren't stressing it all the time the temps should be fine. Unless you're doing huge database work or something like that, it's highly unlikely you'll be able to stress it.
>>55252256

Lol, the original rubber mounts = rip a long time ago, cant find replacements in this shithole
>>55252316
Well. I planned on getting the i7-6950X for the M1. But my temperatures just weren't where I wanted them to be, so I wouldn't be able to overclock it like I want. (I want to get the 6950X to 4.0GHz. Or at the very least 3.5GHz rock-solid stable, which wouldn't be hard.). I'll likely try and do like 8x4GB sticks just to fill up the board. Or perhaps get like 4x8GB, and maybe somewhere down the line the same kit just to fill it for aesthetics. I've got the GTX 980, might buy a second. And two 360mm radiators.
>>55252347
>super good at stopping GPU sag
Just saw its holding your gpu up, noice
r8/ h8
I'm always up for suggestions to improve anything, looks, airflow whatever.
>>55252425
Change those rad intakes to exhaust, and intake from the rest. I get the positive pressure bit, but even with a good dust filter you're gonna suck dust into that rad and shit up your temps over time, not to mention bringing hot air into your case.
The airflow between two fans going through your radiator against two unimpeded intakes will still equal out to positive pressure. I can link you to a good slap-on filter from Amazon for that back fan.
>>55252513
So, in changing them to exhaust, where do you suggest I mount them? With this case in particular it will be louder if I mount them on the top, but if it is overall the best place for it, I will do it.
Also, a link to that filter would be great, thanks!
someone buy this 290 from me so i can get a 1080 already...
..also added two black hyperx ram modules to fill the rest of the slots since this pic was taken.

Asrock boards were impossible to find in my country so I had to go with Supermicro.
I thought about getting closed loop coolers but I'm afraid that its going to leak and kill the computer..
>>55250701
Good god, should I take the risk and update the Bios of my Z170A SLI Plus? The more recent Bios versions all have updates to the CPU microcode.. but I am scared of bricking it.
>>55254186
>leak and kill the computer
...you know they use a non-conductive liquid right?
Even if it spills it shouldn't cause damage immediately. Now if you leave it running and it has liquid all over and it gets something in it that makes it more conductive, THEN you could have a problem. But as long as you aren't stupid and pay attention it should be a non-issue.
>>55254208
Just get an ups and it will be a risk free procedure
>>55254219
>non-conductive liquid
Really.. Hmmmm..
>>55254186
They've got so many variations of the same board, I was actually thinking about full custom but I didn't want to because of the leak potential. The CLCs aren't bad at all, I just like them for how quiet they are

>>55254287

Just switch to the 2nd BIOS if you brick the first.
>>55254261
Also, I was originally going to go with Supermicro but the board and my HX1050 didn't get along, did you have any issues?
>>55254287
Im just saying that the only risk is a power outage, hence the ups, unless you have a dual bios mobo like >>55254303 pointed out

Nope guess not, my MSI X99 board does, but it was like $300 so guess they dont give a fuck at that lower price point.
>>55254341
Then the only thing that can fuck it up is a power outage while flashing it, dont be a pussy or borrow an ups
>>55254387
Yeah, guessed so. If I'd decide to give this shit a go.. do I pick the latest BIOS version? Their manual is fucking confusing. It hints to the number on the Motherboard itself and says to get BIOS matching the correct version. So do I get v 1.6 which is the latest or 1.2?
Mine says smth like: MS-7998 VER. 1.2
Also, >>55254287, how the fuck do you not have a UPS for other shit at your house? At least your main TV should be on one if nothing else.
>>55254463
just look at the one that was released most recently. In your case 1.6
>>55254261
>>55254322
Yeah after searching my ass off I found out the X9DAi was used in one of their SuperWorkstations. So then I knew it was a workstation board and not some random server board.
I had no problems with my EVGA, thou the ATX and EPS connectors could have been longer. They barely reach and thus you can't do any cable management.
Hello /g/, poor here.
I am building my first pc, pic related.
Where do I plug these little cables into?
Also if my front panel has normal USB ports, and my mobo is usb 3.0, I can still use the front ports, but they will just act as regular USB right?
>>55254484
Thanks, will give this a go. Never had a UPS, we rarely have outages here. I can think about 2 maybe were I had the TV etc. running but never was one of the devices damaged. Stupid luck?
>>55254505
There's lots of cables on the picture. YOu mean the front panel cables? P LED+ etc.? They're probably on bottom right of the motherboard somwhere. Look at the manual
>>55254513

>>55254506
I mean, the odds are pretty low where it would damage something, but I have had a Plasma DLP bulb fucked by a power outage and since then i've been using UPSs. You just change the battery every few years.

Probably for more PCIe lanes. I've been reading that dual 1080s will benefit from x16.
>>55257886
would love a citation on that as dual GTX 980Ti's see a less than 1% performance drop when moving from x16 x16 to x8 x8.
>>55257900
That's a load of shit, x16 and x8 are completely different.
>>55257900
There's a link to someone running tests in the 1080 owners thread on overclock.net , I think it was like an 8% performance drop. I'll try to find it.
>>55257925
>>55257932
Even at 4k you struggle to find a significant difference.

https://hardforum.com/threads/pci-e-speed-tests-ramblings-for-video-cards.1878382/
>>55257977
Looking at more videos/articles I am actually finding lots of conflicting results.
>>55258024
These results seem out of line with almost every other testing i've seen, i'd chalk it up to his own personal setup having quirks more than any significantly useful data.
Especially his result for elite dangerous, everything else was a few %, then that was like 15% out of nowhere with no explanation.
>>55252024
Why?
If I wait a year or two large ssds will cost half what they do now. Maybe even less.
Ain't going to spend fuck loads of money now on something that will be mainstream cheap soon.
>>55258110
I think the problem with his setup is that he is using PCIe 2.0 x16 to simulate PCIe 3.0 x8. Either way what I really want to see is a comparison of gtx 1080 in SLI with the HB bridge on a board with dual x16 3.0 and another with dual x8 3.0. I have an I7 6700k and might want to go dual 1080 at some point but the lack of lanes makes me unsure.
Every guts thread til I die.
>>55258208
I went with a 5820k, I figured if I ever did want dual GPU, x16/x8 was going to be more than good enough for me.
Plus I can always upgrade to an aftermarket Xeon in a few years with 40 PCIe lanes.
>>55254942
It's not like it;s going to effect airflow, if you want to have messy cable management then do so.

I just got a 980Ti recently for 370 Euros. Should I be happy with that price?
>>55258340
Is it from EVGA? Step up program is the shit once they get some 1080 stock. Not a bad price but what you paid could be used toward the 1080 if you have it for 3 months or less.

Newegg had a sale on fans a month ago when fans was 25% off

>Cpu fan moving air up
Why?

ANTISAG/10
>>55261871
natural convection? really it makes no difference on my temps.
>>55261911
Have you even tried turning it to exhaust out the back? Because taking the heat from your GPU is fucking retarded when you can take cold air directly from the front.

I thought people on this board were supposed to be smart or something.........
>>55261929
ive tried it both ways, it made no difference. but i have not with a fan in the rear nor am i going to. its good enough.

You fucking idiot

Bullshit, stay on funnyjunk you retard

not him, but you unfamiliar with the concept?

And you're trying to say we're stupid?

I love my inverted case.
Dat air flow son.

why did you get the rvz02 over rvz01/ftz01?
>>55262043
>Wine glasses everywhere
How does it feel to have a vagina?
>>55262053
Nice try crocodile Dundee, but I am a gun toting, red meat eating, SUV gas drinking, God damned UH'Murrican.
>>55262071
I actually did--the rvz02, in regards to overall quality, runs laps around the rvz01. Also, oversized cards simply don't fit the rvz01--how the graphics card is suspended in the rvz01, you need a bracket to support the card. You can get away without it in the rvz02, but in the rvz01, it literally just hangs there with no real way to support it.
>>55250751
updated speccy with load temps while gaming for an hour.
>>55262092
Those are actually water cups, and I'm just too much of a lazy shit to actually clean up.
does anyone have the pic of the savage gpu with the skeleton on the box?
Is it okay to use velcro strips for cable management, or should I stick only to plastic cable ties?

>>55262983
where is the temp?
>>55262983
>>55262997
I decided not to add them since I only really cared about showing the hardware
>>55254302

i've seen worse
the lego is a nice touch

>1070
>60hz monitor
Why do so many people do this?
>>55263651
>I care about 120-144Hz therefore everyone must care about 120-144Hz
Maybe they just want a card that will deliver a solid 60 FPS for a few years no matter what?
>all those pointless fuckhueg pictures
I thought you guys were tech literate, why don't you resize that shit?
>>55264242
>Complaining about high resolution
I thought you guys were tech literate, why don't you appreciate the detail?
>>55264242
Well some of us 'tech literates' happen to like decent quality images
>>55262983
what are you using the bottom card for? extra monitors and or PhysX?
>>55264288
yeah but those
>>55263671
>>55262983
>>55262133
>>55262043
>>55261966
are trash tier quality but still fuckhuge. and that's only to name a few.
>>55264350
Right now I have it as a dedicated PhysX card yeah, eventually I'm thinking I may move to a Linux host and have the 760 as a dedicated host GPU and run a Windows KVM for gaming/etc. with the 1070 as a passthrough
>>55264398
How well does the PCIe Pass-through work? I also want to finally ditch windows and use Linux, but
>muh gaymes
>>55264419
Basically some modern motherboards and CPUs support PCI-E passthrough so the VM sees the full GPU just like it was connected to the VM natively, when you fire up the VM it takes over the GPU (and any monitors attached).

>>55264445
Er sorry, you asked how -well-. Supposedly pretty damn close to native performance.
>>55264452
you get about 98% of native speed, IIRC.
The drawback is that its a huge bitch to set up.
>>55264452
But I need two GPUs so it works properly? At least that's how the first glance into the debian wiki makes it look. Well at least I have VT-d
>>55264478
Yes. You have one GPU that the Linux system uses, and another GPU that it gives to the VM exclusively.
I think the Arch wiki has a big long guide to setting this up, you should look in that
>>55264498
I'll check it out. now I just need to find a cheap and low power gpu
maybe 750ti?
>>55264478
well technically speaking you could probably set up the host with no GPU at all and SSH into it or something, but that would be a pain in the ass and require some sort of client machine. For practicality though yes two GPUs is best.
You don't need them both to be PCI-E though of course, I do since I use a 5820K which doesn't have an intel integrated GPU, but if you do you can just use that.
>>55264526
I have a Xeon which also has no integrated graphics, sadly.
