how the fuck do you people manage sata cables edition
>>55440811
By getting a better case which allows for more hidden cable management.
>>55442661
tick tock tick tock
Cant wait to place the order
>>55442732
i'm crossing my fingers for you anon. Hope the upgrade goes smoothly.
>>55442767
Me too. Im too paranoid for some reason.
>>55442661
>>55442674
and having a motherboard with right angled connectors
>>55443011
that USB3 cable throws off the otherwise very nice cabling, such a bitch that no-one can make USB3 cables easily managable
>>55443042
Tell me about it, those fucking cables are always made out of the hardest plastic one can find for cable use, you sooner bend your motherboard than the cable to actually fit any holes for management.
>>55443000
This can be easily worked around with 90* angled SATA cables.
>>55443570
my sata cable slots are upside down and far away from cable holes
>>55440811
I hate/love these threads.
I'm rocking a W530/i7 and can't yet afford a rig.
But I love looking at all these.
How do you guys battle GPU sag? This aluminum wire is not very effective as it bends the backplace.
>>55443966
You should get rail like OP, or hell, stick a pencil underneath.
>>55444020
>>55443966
>Get a rail like OP
it's part of the case, but the case is extremely shit (but extremely cheap) so I wouldn't recommend it.
Perixx make GPU braces that attatch to the PCI-E screw in slots that are about $10 if you want it to look nice, otherwise use a pole
Any cheap digital cameras /g/ recommends for taking /guts/ photos? My phone can't compare to any of your shots.
>>55444073

>>55444073
I use my cellphone camera, I just have an S6 so its one of the better cameras available.
>>55444055
>>55444020
Fuck it, i'll make something myself. A metal frame that I can screw in the fan mounts on the bottom perhaps.
>>55443966
>Does a small column of lego bricks work? I was planning on trying that once I bought a 480. Love those super thin pieces that'll let me get it just right.
Steam Link is pretty kewl. So far the only problem I get is the audio likes to stay on the main system once in a while, but usually reconnecting fixes it. Overall I'd say it was a good $30.
>>55443966
You can get a Card Keeper(TM) from performance pcs. That's the only place I know of that sells them anymore which is unfortunate because the dude who runs that shop is fucky.
>>55444231
I would, If I were in the grand country of the USA. Unfortunately, the country that I come from, with its communist roots can only dream of such luxuries.
Or not, EKWB is from here, but our PC part prices are fucked up.
Waiting for 1080 down/upgrade
>>55442767
Is that corsair cooler quiet? I've been thinking about going for that for a new build just because it is simple to install but I'm considering doing a custom loop.
>>55444703
Stock fans are somewhat loud, but I have changed the fans out for lower RPM ones that are quieter.
>>55444576
so you figured out SLI is a meme?

Fucking clover messed my post a bit, oh well.
either gotta find really short sata cables or ones with 90 degree connectors
non "hard flat" cables are best
i gave up on it and instead just wrapped one up with electrical tape
still waiting on that 750ti
im gonna miss this gt430, its a pretty good little card, handles insurgency pretty well but the 750ti will bring me up to 60fps at least
>>55444775

Thanks senpai, ditching the tis though. Had enough of SLI and I'm just going to stick with a 1080.
>>55440811

It has always triggered my autism, but as I recall there was some clearance issue you were having. Glad it's sorted.

>>55444807
also, i cant keep my heatsink on /g/
wat do
seriously, the thing sometimes just pops out of one of the holes, it doesnt effect temperatures in the slightest but if it were to pop out of two holes...
im thinking aftermarket cooler anyway, but to be honest i dont want to spend money on something im really not going to need in the longrun, i idle at 34c and max out at 50c under full load as is
>>55444897

Move your GPU to the top slot lad

The retard is just going to lecture you on how x8 and x16 have no difference or some bullshit like that, don't worry about it.
>>55447401
>>55447142
Flip PSU over to make use of the grill underneath it, and bring cables closer to the cable management slot.
Then actually use them.
>>55447401
Top slot will also let you organise cables outside of the case more easily.
>>55447671
I'm sure it's at the lower end of single figure % differences if even noticeable. Have any current cards come close to saturating 3.0 x16?
>>55447724
1080 is the closest so far, it will just grow more from here on
mine with saggy gfx card -.-
>>55447915
sag is fixed now 100% reliable
So I didn't want to create a thread to ask this.
I need to upgrade my processor since my old one is dying. Would this setup be good for a 1070 combo?

>>55447925
another note
The Nanoxia cases sucks ass, airflow is horrible and you cant even remove the top cage, and no tray for SSD behind mobo.
>>55446522
i wonder why faggot
>>55447946
Should be just fine
>>55448024
hehe xd
>>55447946
>mfw mobo has 5 audio jacks that aren't color coded
ought to be fine, I just got the same combination for my build
So I ordered an i5-6600k and I plan on overclocking the shit out of it. My current cooler is a Kuhler 620 and I really don't think it is going to cut it.
I really wanted a H110 but the issue I see is that I have a Rosewill Blackhawk case and it doesn't seem to fit coolers very well without straight up ripping the case in two.
Does anyone have any experience with this case and decent coolers? Or am I going to have to get a new case?
I cobbled together a bunch of old parts I had to upgrade a PC I use on my TV and ordered a 200r to put it all in. This is my first real effort at cable management, other than the color clash and the ugly ancient PSU cables I think it went pretty well.
Why not wait and see how it performs with the 6600k?
>>55447915
I always get rated ANTISAG/10. I feel bad for you.
>>55450945
Stupid airflow/10

>>55451083

That's what I was referring too, your fan orientation is retarded. Just because something "works well" does not mean it is optimal.
>>55451067
yes/10
>>55442767
Anon, your info sticker on your psu seems to be falling off.
Anyone have the screengrab where some guy was running his PC at 120 C?
>>55451280
Nvm gotsit
what's the best solution for GPU sag, a brace or a holder/bolster?
>>55451143
CPU is overclocked with about 1.28-1.3V room temp of 81F
Also I don't see anything "retarded" about my airflow.
>>55451308
You should be pulling air in from the front of the case, and being pushed through the CPU heatsink and sucked out the back while the top fans are pulling air out of the case as well.
>>55451324
I do have two intake in the front. As for the CPU, it doesn't matter if you push or pull air through the heat sink there is about a 1-3c difference. CPU sits at 24c with 0.75v.
>>55451404
Push is better in the long run, just do it that way.

>>55452351
It's the Define S. The Define Nano S is a mini-ITX case.
Y'know I thought I was done fucking with this case but as it turns out, 450 watts isn't enough for a 4790k and an R9 Nano. Shit would crash to green screen after both CPU and GPU would be under heavy load. Got a Corsair 600 watt power supply on the way. Pretty sure I built this thing just for these fucking threads.

Yeah but do they just make them for most popular modular PSUs? Are 3rd party cables safe?

Not him, but it's probably so he doesn't get massive clumps of dust gathering on the fan.

>>55455853
>>>/reddit/
>>55455867
Well when you answer a question asked to someone else about their build, and answer wrongly at that... I'm gonna tell you to shut up.
>>55440811
So I got the raijintek styx and my build is similar to this guy's but without the noctua fans. Also I only have 2 cpu fans from my cooler and one case fan.
My question: Is it better for general airflow to point the cpu fans towards the PSU, so that the latter acts as an exhaust or is it wiser for the longevity of all components to point the CPU fans towards the rear so that it exhausts on its own? I placed the 1 case fan I got on the top so it pulls fresh into into the case for the GPU.

I was looking at getting a styx, what's it like?
>>55444867
>>55444837
it still doesn't fit in the case, I just leave th side panel semi-on just to cure your autism
>>55452619
R9 285, Basically a 380
>>55457396
you mean the cpu fans blowing towards the rear?
That increases the temps of the cpu slightly but is it worth it for the psu?
And yeah: the styx itself is fucking sweet brah. In black it looks so damn slick. Also airflow is pretty good for such a small case
