Even though it's listed as supporting E-ATX I don't think they ever actually did a test fit, that hard drive cage just barely fits under the board even with the clips bent
Still, cheapest desktop case by far you can buy that somewhat fits a server board
>>55499992
It's just too narrow
Once you put a rad in, you're fucked on hard disk space.
Dual E5472s, I don't know about the CPU's power draw but the RAM has it's own 6-pin and runs at 117C under high usage, that alone has to be >100
95w Q6600
55w HD7750

are you me?
>>55499736
Why the fuck are you not running in quad channel per chip?
all of that invested and no fully modular psu,why
>>55501263
Mostly because of one channel being dead, I also don't need more than 32GB now but still want to be able to upgrade
>>55499736
;) The housefires are real. I have your PSU too.
>>55501273
The PSU was $25 and the cables were $25, for $50 I couldn't ask for much more

I don't think my AMD housefire card gets cooling to speak of either despite the huge fucking case.
Take note of the three SSD for the giant ATX size, not even a HDD made use of.

Perhaps it would help if you werent using a GTX 480 in your rig.
>>55501173
ive got the same dell, fuck that case bro. got a free gtx460, doesn't fuckin fit lmao. Thinking about getting a pcie riser cable...you know anything about those?
>>55503126
It has a shade more grunt than my 570, the extra cram helps with overwatch. Waiting on a 1070, I sold my old cards and had to resort to these.
>>55502433
What's the 2nd card in there for? Streaming?
>>55503144
I don't use them because I like my optiplex to be clean with a single slot card, and my needs aren't great enough for a dual slot card. It's funny you mentioned it because I saw a yt vid of a guy with a gtx 970 in his 755, which was cool, but if you can afort a 970 and 6000w psu, why not get something better than an optiplex?
>>55503172
>6000w psu

>>55503172
I got my 755 for $20 off CL, no RAM nor CPU, but I had a q6600 from a dead mobo I picked up off the street one day.
Fucker booted right up, except anytime I open the case (like so) I have to remove/replace the CMOS jumper to get it to output video next boot :/
Poor af student, but it gets 150+ fps in CSGO so eh. Better than my old dual core AyyMD prebuilt.
>>55502315
get a 140mm water cooling for this, because those things are fucking hot and need as much airflow as possible
>>55503243
>755 for $20
That's a damn good deal, I like the 755, doesn't have the capacitor problems of the 745s made in 2007, can do a raid array on the motherboard and they support the 45nm core 2 chips that clock really high.
>>55503282
Thing is, the back hooks for the cooler, are nonexistent. The crackhead who sold it to me apparently took them off....and it still runs pretty cool if my face isn't in the front exhaust fan's 2 foot blast radius lmao
>>55503282
another problem with 2 slot cards is prying the CMOS battery out, thing scares the shit outta me when at first I can't reach to where it flung to.
If Dell didn't cuck their motherboard design, and stuck to a standard, I'd be behind them. But the fact that I'm stuck to this case, and the shit aesthetics, makes me mad at them.
>>55503497
Damn that sucks, my original optiplex 745 must've been in a crackhead because they hot glued the RAM slots, and it broke one of them when I removed the original ram, which is another reason besides capacitors,why I replaced it
>>55503518
If Dell made these optiplexes ATX with the big ass heatsink and industrial design, it'd be the best oem pc money can buy.
>>55503538
What BIOS version are you on? I'm stuck on A09, when there's all the way to A21 and anytime I try to flash it gives an error that the file isn't in memory (which, if it stashed it in RAM and expects it to be there on reboot, I've got news for it)
>>55503570
I have the 2.6.6 bios from 2011 on my 745, it was the last one the made. My optiplex 745 is weird, I can even downgrade the BIOS, and go back to the new one whenever, its totally cool with it for some reason.
>>55503243
You can buy optiplex 980s for $50 now why buy a 755

If the 400C existed at the time i would have gone for that instead, im so tempted to get it but i have no excuse for it
>>55503714
Nothing wrong with getting a full tower for a standard board, the airflow helps when you're doing something like an x264 transcode of an edited video and your cpu is slammed.
PSU: Corsair CX650M 3rd PSU in 2 years, sure Corsair has pretty good RMA but...
Ambient is 33~34C and 95% on the barometer.
CPU is running a Hyper 212x TURBO push pull config.
Computer is at idle when shot was taken.
>>55504160
I use corsair RAM and I love it, but that's pretty shitty to have 3 PSUs go when you pay extra for it.
>>55499736
what exactly do you do with such a computer?
btw who makes that motherboard?
>>55504217
Not him, but xeons are really good for heavy workloads, the binning process is better, so they can run low volt cores and run cooler when you max them out in a video editing render or if you're using it as a server and it's being worked constantly.
>>55504160
Corsair is just branded garbage especially when it comes to PSUs, get some kind of super flower rebrand like the evga g2.
I am using a Noctua NH-D14 and the x5470 is lapped but temps and my lack of voltage knowledge with the are still holding me back from overclocking the CPU further, but at 1440p I still average 45fps in most new games which isn't bad for a $450 upgrade.

>>55504238
Well, the CX650M was a decently reviewed PSU so I thought I'd try it out...
I'm kinda not wanting a Super Flower due to a friend's silver rated 650W failing with a 750TI.
It would boot up normally but reboot when he booted up a game. He later bought a Thermaltake SmartDPS 750W and the issue went away, he latter upgraded to a 980TI.
TLDR
SuperFlower silver rated 650W psu PCI-E rail fail.
>>55504249
What a beast, those 45nm Penryn chips still have legs.
With the CPU and GPU both overclocked I'd guess this PC would consume close to 350W at maximum load, though it would never get even close to that in a real usage scenario. Hell, I could comfortably run three 1070s on my EVGA G2 750W.
>>55504238
>Corsair is just branded garbage especially when it comes to PSUs
No?
>>55504428
Rebranded? Yes. Garbage? Check the OEM.
>>55504443
More like check the reviews. Seasonic and Super Flower, OEMs of some of the best consumer power supplies on the market, have put out complete duds in the past.
>>55504343
I actually had to overclock the gtx 970 to get it 1440p to run smooth, but I could only push the core clock up +135 and the upping the volts seems to have no effect, not sure if all the 970s are like this or just the MSI version, either way it is much better overclocked.
>>55503743
>Nothing wrong with getting a full tower for a standard board
its slim atx
Q6600 at 3.6 is roughly 130-150 tdp (coolermaster v8 can barely handle it)
ATI HD4890 is 190 tdp.
So it's at least 300 tdp. Certified housefire.
>>55504595
For $25 you can upgrade the q6600 to a x5460 and overclock it past 4ghz for a 40% percent performance gain.
>>55504639
It's my meme machine. I've even installed Vista on it. I have a 4690k on my main rig.
>>55504652
I would still do it just for the mod factor.
>>55504753
I want all that fuckin storage more than anything, cool guts, X99 is a beast.
I would post guts, but my rig is kinda hideous on the inside.
4690K 4.6GHz using H100i
GTX970 OC to 1531 1.2250v
1x1TB 3X2TB hard drivers
Total I've seen pull from the wall was 320watts.
Play videos all night, room gets uncomfortably hot by the morning.
I'm just using super-xbr so power consumotion according to GPU-Z is around 25% average.
Can't wait for summer to be over my hard drivers are always above 35ºC even at 6AM.
>>55504798
storage was my primary concern with this build. It's for encoding and storing my media collection so I at least put the 5820k through it's paces every now and then.
>>55504864
Which brand of 970?
>>55499858
I can smell the absolute regret in that build.
The 400C looks good on paper, but I bet you cursed when you discovered how restrictive the case was. It's way too big to essentially have the same problems that mitx has.
>>55504911

>>55504961
Are you using a modded bios?
>>55504974
obviously
boost disabled and no perfcap limit.
>>55504983
I have the msi 970 and I haven't found a bios that says it works for that model, if I use your bios or an EVGA bios will that brick it or do I need to keep looking for a modded bios tailored to MSI?
>>55505015
no if you flash a bios from another model youre going to brick it
have you found your max stable overclock yet and voltage?
post your bios i will mod it for you, you can use gpu-z to save the bios file.
>>55505031
It is on another PC which I don't have access to right now, right now I can get to +135 without upping the voltage, but even with the voltage maxed +140 is not stable.
>>55505064
Are you hitting perfcap ? power or voltage will drop clocks and make it unstable or maybe you just got unlucky and can't go higher there are multiple reason that could cause it to crash.
what model? the MSI 970 4G?
To get the most of out your card you need to be super specific, what clocks exactly are you getting and voltage, you need to monitor everything using msi afterburner because we want exact values.
Add me on steam
>>55505106
It is the MSI 970 4G, I see artifacts and sometimes games will crash above +140 so I dropped it to +135 just to be safe but I could run it +140 with limited or no crashes, I just stared overclocking it last week so I don't know what perfcap is. I don't have a steam account. when I use Heaven, the test where it spins around the fountain I get the exact same artifact even at stock speeds so I am not sure if maybe there is a problem with my card or not. At +135 I have the power at 110 and and stock volts.
>>55505106
The drivers crash when I get around +200 but I don't remember the exact number.
>>55499736
>>55505203
Are you overclocking the memory?
Graphics artifacts are usually a problem with the memory being too high.
Games/driver crashing is usually because too low voltage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIdubmD3Tz0
Do this to monitor your GPU in game but also enable unlock voltage control/monitoring on the General tab and then in game like the rest.
That way you can read you in-game GPU Core clocks and voltage instead of "+145"
See what are you max clocks and voltage at stock settings first.
Then we start going higher from there.
Also get GPU-Z and check the Sensors tab where it says "PerfCap Reason"
vRel = Reliability. Indicating perf is limited by reliability voltage.
VOp = Operating. Indicating perf is limited by max operating voltage.
Pwr = Power. Indicating perf is limited by total power limit.
Thrm = Thermal. Indicating perf is limited by temperature limit.
Util = Utilization. Indicating perf is limited by GPU utilization.
>>55505291
I had my roommate check it, the perfcap is Util and it is clocked at Boost 1393, I kept dropping the clock down due to that heaven artifact, which happens exactly the same each time, so now I am thinking I should disregard it and start over, I am not overclocking the ram yet.
>>55505384
1393mhz is a okay boost clock, you might be able to hit 1500, it all depends on voltage you need to do what I told you to monitor everything first.
I' will be hanging around here all day so make a thread or something later
>>55505413
Thank you, I get off work in a few hours, by the way is it good that the perfcap is Util?
>>55502945
Nice job hiding those cables with speccy you fucking fag
>>55503630
980's are shit. Shot being a poorfag and join the 7010 mastterrace
>>55499736
I reach 85C under load with 90% fan speed, is that housefire enough?
>>55505454
Yeah, the real problem would be Pwr,VRel and VOP. everything else can be solved easily.
>>55499736
YOU AGAIN!
Balance out that ram, it hurts me. Fix the dodgy lanes or whatever it was!
>>55505654
Hey I just got home, it looks like the highest clock I was able achieve according to AfterBurner on stock volts was 1490mhz before I get a driver crash but the boost shows 1415mhz not sure why there is a descrepency, 71c max temp, power limit is 110 and when gaming the perfcap changes to vRel. The bios is 84.04.84.00.29
>>55499736
2670 is really tempting but that mobo price :(
>>55505654
>>55506793
AfterBurner reports the volts as 1.212v
My rig just got completed a couple of hours ago, I'm in a hurry so I won't google the TDPs for everything, But it has a 6600K and a GTX960 (Second hand, will be upgraded to a 1070) and the best part of it is the Intel 750 400GB PCI-E.

zero regret. i love the case. i didn't run into any "restrictive" problems. i know some people complained about the cable management in the back in some reviews but i didn't run into those issues. i just took my time and routed the cables nicely.
three ssd's in the back ssd cage, two mechanical hard drives, strix 1080, 6700k, 32gb corsair plat ddr4 3000, sound blaster zx, nh-d15s, evga supernova p2 750, five cooler master pwm silencio 2400 for the case, two for the nh-d15s, and asus sabertooth z170 s all housed with ease. case is easy to work with. it actually looks nice in the back. none of the cables push against the back panel, and the back panel comes off and on with ease.

Those fucking EVGA cards are so gat dam bootiful. I dig the dual socket. What's the purpose of this machine?
>>55506411
Also beautiful.
>>55507133
I like it.
>>55507795
Try this.
https://my.mixtape.moe/ekrcxs.zip
Type CMD in the window address directory to open a command line windows, then type "nvflash 1519.rom" without the ". it should open another window asking you if you want to write the new bios file, check if the devices match if they dont the windows will close anyway, just click "Y" and restart the PC.
I included different files in case 1519.rom crashes, all besides the original file have voltage set to 1225.0mv.
1519.rom clocks to 1519mhz core and 3505(stock) memory
3905.rom clock to 1519mhz core and 3905 memory
4000.rom clocks to 1519mhz core and 4000 memory
1506 clocks to 1506mhz core and 3505(stock) memory
original.com is the original bios file keep it as backup if any of the above crashes or something simply flash this one.
I'd recommend starting with 1519.rom if it fails then move to 1506.rom.
Only move to 4000.rom and 3905.rom(if 4000.rom fails) if 1519.rom is stable.
If even 1506.rom fails then you might have gotten unlucky with a card that can't OC or you might need even more voltage.
in any case don't get discouraged if all fail, overclocking takes time.
>>55508171
Also, close GPU-Z and MSI afterburner before doing the flashing and revert back to stock clocks!
>>55508171
Thank you so much, will I need to use the AfterBurner overclocking features too?
>>55508292
No, disable any overclocking done with it, just use it to monitor(screen overlay) things together with GPU-Z perfcap sensor.
>>55507652
Love that qt case.
>>55508318
Thank you so much, I was having the hardest time trying to find a bios that would work with this card, you saved me a lot of time :)

it might or might not work, all cards are different, just try it and report back.
if anything happens simply flash the original.rom back

I hope this question fits the thread.
1) My current PC have i5-750 CPU, GTX 660 card, 2x4gb DDR3 1600Mhz Corsair RAM, Gigabyte GA-P55-UD2 motherboard and some okay PSU I forgot the name. Can I upgrade this PC in some way or basically the only solution is to buy whole new one?
2) What time would be best for buying parts/new PC? I checked current ones and they are rather high, especially in case of Intel CPUs. Is there a chance that I will get better price if I will wait few months, say, until September?
Thanks for replies.

I don't think you know how this works. Using liquid cooling won't do anything to your room temp.
Anyway
>4790K 88W
>2x290X 580W
>16GB RAM
So, ~670W for the main stuff, real-world with a 4.7GHz OC on the CPU and some mild OC on the graphics cards I get 700-750W power draw in games with the cards at 100% load.
>>55510710

>>55511039

I said liquid coolers make it worse because they take more heat out of the CPUs, so they naturally have more heat to dump into the air, it doesn't just disappear

That's not how it works. If your CPUs are running the same (same clocks, turbo, no throttling, same voltage, etc.) then the amount of heat is dictated by the current they are using to function. Adding a liquid cooler changes absolutely nothing, the same amount of energy is dissipated as heat as long as the processor's parameters don't change and the heat is still eliminated in your room.
Temperature and heat are not the same thing, the lower temperature you get with a liquid cooler doesn't mean the power dissipation has changed, it only means that the thermal resistance from your CPU die to the ambient air in your room is lower.
So unless your CPUs are running at a higher power target due to the improved cooling (say turboing higher or not throttling, whereas they would throttle on air cooling) then you are dissipating literally the same amount of energy as heat in your room with or without liquid cooling.

Mind you, it seems like you're running x8/x8 PCI-E and only using a single SLI bridge, you may find pic related interesting.

lower temps will also lead to a slightly lower power draw due to less leakage. Though that will mostly be taken up by the additional heat the water pump is generating.
>>55511711
Eh sure, but that should be entirely too tiny to ever notice in real-world use, shouldn't it? I'm no expert in that field by any stretch.

This was an interesting read.
A bit of research suggests it varies between games but I'm interested in adding a high bandwidth bridge now.
I definitely need to look into it is it's a difference in 8-15 fps.
Just when you think you've reached the summit there's always more..
>>55511400
>>55511200
numa isn't supported in games.
your dimms are in all the wrong channels.
>>55511975
Yeah, sometimes it's very significant. If you haven't read the article until the very end, the guy says that using 2 regular (flex/ribbon) SLI bridges also provides the same results, so if you have another laying around I'd say you give it a try with both of them.
It's even more interesting, for instance I've been reading that DOOM doesn't scale (or even scales negatively) on x8/x8 mobos, but it seems that more bandwidth across the SLI bridge(s) can alleviate less bandwidth across PCI-E too. Pretty interesting and confusing.
To make it even more confusing, there are supposed to be 3 kinds of SLI bridges now:
>regular/flex bridges, the slowest
>so-called "LED" bridges, which are faster
>the HB bridge, fastest of all and essentially 2 bridges in 1
I'm going to run my 1080s on 2 flex bridges until my HB bridge gets here, I'm very curious about what results I'll get. I also very much hope I won't have to dump another $1k+ into an upgrade to a 6850K-based system to get x16/x16 on the cards and get proper scaling.

So, no difference with 2 regular bridges or the HB bridge, as the hardwareunboxed article also claims. It seems that not too many people looked into this, I'd love to see a more detailed investigation with test cases like:
>x8/x8 1 bridge
>x8/x8 2 bridges
>x8/x8 HB bridge
>x16/x16 1 bridge
>x16/x16 2 bridges
>x16/x16 HB bridge
So I just put a H115i into a case that SAID it would fit and I'm not too happy with the results, but it seems to be working. But the more important question is fan speed on the 1070.
Does this look like an okay setup for fan speeds and gpu temperatures?
>>55510806
Pretty please.
>>55507337
can you hide that pcie power cable? Surely you have somewhere to route it?
>>55512317
Why would you want it to ramp up to 50% for pretty much any load? Give the quiet fan settings a chance to do something.
40 - 10%
50 - 20%
60 - 30%
70 - 50%
Then up to 100% at 90C
TDP ~= 400-450w

House is air conditioned, if my room ever gets hot I just open the door.
>>55508139
yeah I know 1000W is fucking stupid but what the hell. and the milk still hasnt curded up so whatever

its NOT a dust magnet. Open cases collect less dust than comprable normie towers because they have less surface area. Open case dust paranoia is a meme. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats
>>55512317
The first part is too steep, there really isn't much to worry about regarding graphics card temps before reaching 70C.
Should I upgrade my 212 to a nh d14 or a nh u12s?
>>55512614
This is true. A closed computer case is literally a dust trap. You're bringing in multiple cubic feet of air every minute into a large container for the air velocity to slow and the dust to fall out before the air finally makes its way out.
An open case just gets what falls in. That's gonna be a fraction of a millimeter in 50 years.
>>55512753
any actual articles with testing done on this? I have always liked the look of open cases
>>55512818
This is a computer that ran with the side open from 2006 to 2014 without ever being cleaned. 9600GT had been in there something like 2-3 years when the pic was taken.
And it was mostly up 24/7.

Thanks Anons. Here are the guts of my computer.
Had to put one of the fans for the H115i above the other, but I have a 200mm fan above the left spot which pushes air like mad. Seems to be doing okay. Also the far right end doesn't have screws in it since nothing lines up.
The reps I spoke to about this case fitting a 280mm radiator perfectly lied to me though.
>>55512112
I've been reading up on this since your first post.
I'll be returning the standard SLI bridge and ordering an LED or HB bridge, thanks for the info.
I'm running a 6700K-based system but don't appear to have any issues with scaling.
Though I have noticed some games scale much better than others. GTA runs great at 115-120 FPS on 1440p and 60-70fps on 4k.
Other games like Just Cause 3 only add 10-15fps running at 50 or so fps.
Far Cry 4 gets me 60 at 4k so i think dev support plays a major role.
I have no idea what the TDP is. Everything is overclocked.
>>55510710
That's a sexy heatsink senpai what is it?
One of these days I should connect my killawatt.
I currently have an AMD FX-6100 I got when building my current PC in late 2012. I can't switch to Intel or use the new AMD architecture until I rebuild (which will be at least 2-3 years from now), so the furthest I can go is Piledriver (and I have to be careful there because some models seem to require water cooling). Would I get an appreciable upgrade from that, or will my 6100 be fine for the next few years?
