Speccy thread no bully
Feels good being part of the Master Race
just kill me already to be quite honest family
I'm in dire need of a GPU upgrade.
My first time building a computer.
It's not much but I've still been able to see what PC Gaming is all about.
Load temps obviously. Reapplying thermal paste made a ~4 degree difference. RMAing the card as we speak.

Pretty satisfied with this build, except that I was dumb enough to buy a card with directx 11.2 support.

Says who? Windows 10 fucked up my computer latency so I downgraded.
>>316636553
Yeah. I'm hell bent on that particular 390x though as it's the only one that fits in my case; every other 390x is the size of an aircraft carrier.
okay
>inb4 >laptop
>>316636634
Eh, they'll probably fix all the bugs sometime.
Shit like directx 12 not being on 7 kinda screw things up.

Fapping, gaming, and shitposting on /v/ at the same time I'd imagine.
>>316636931
I doubt it. Manufacturers put out laptops with hardware/drivers that just absolutely doesn't jive with W10. Only worth it if you pirate Enterprise to stop telemetry and disable other shit and build your own desktop.

Finally got an SSD since it was only 100USD.

Let us know when your steam engine of a computer can run anything more complicated than tetris you autist.
>>316637717
I can run 4 games at the same time with no ill effects
go enjoy your computer that can only do one thing at a time
>>316637869
But you can only competently play 1 game at once so what's the point. I'm guessing you're a scary individual IRL.
New computer parts come in the mail tomorrow and I'm gonna retire this.
>>316637869
Mine can run 4 instances of minesweeper too!
I realized that my overclocked 970 was starting to get up to 81C while gaming, so I made a fan curve and it seems to stay at 74 or lower instead. The fans are still plenty quiet at 50-60%, I don't understand why the GPU's default hardly makes use of the ACX cooler until it's fuckin' burning. I know the GPU is still safe in the 80s, but why not crank the fans up to keep it cooler?
r8 my curve
>>316638102
What a piece of shit. What are you getting now?
PC is 4 years old now. Need a major upgrade to it now I actually have the money to buy it.
Need some recommendations.
>>316638215
You can set the fans to high speeds manually anyway, right? Manufacteres nowadays value silence a lot.
ok.
What should I upgrade /v/?
Got no spending limit
>>316638349
>Processor at 94C
Holy shit, how come it didn't burn down on your ass yet?
>>316633284
nice laptop senpai
>>316638412
Yeah, that's what my fan curve in the image does. I'm thinking of making it even more aggressive. It's 45 at idle typically, so that's why I have it kick in at 50, when any gaming would drown out the noise anyway.
Not to mention, it's still damn quite. My first GPU, oh man, it was like a fucking airplane. Was also EVGA, but an old 9600 GSO blower

My old HD4850 also had hurricane-tier noise, it was a Powercolor one.
I didn't know about the possibility to customize fan speed according to temperature, sounds pretty cool. I'll try messing with that in the future.
>>316638348
Hey, it was cheap, and it runs Fallout 4 at 50-60 frames at minimum unless it's gotta load assets or I'm in Diamond City. It's done everything for me from playing everything I owned up maxed out with good frames up until to Killing Floor 2 and FO3. And it still handles KF2 at high with good frames, but it gets choppy sometimes.
i5 6600k and pic related.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hsH7Vn
Can someone give me some feedback on this build?
GTX 980 or R9 Fury?
be gentle
>>316639076
Yeah, any overclocked software has the feature for the fan curve.
>>316639105
It's a piece of shit. Give it to your grandma or throw it out and enjoy your based i5 6600k/980ti machine. I felt nothing but joy scrapping out my old prebuilt.
>>316639227
GTX 980, the 3.5GB meme only applied to 970. But if I were you, save your money and get a 980Ti.
>>316639185
What are you using it for? If gaming, it's good but you can do better. All-around though, what the fuck kind of drugs are you on to only get a 250GB ssd?
>>316638491
1090t still? your 980 is being held back big time.
meh. talk shit all you want.
>>316639451
Gaming. The SSD is just for my OS.
>>316639227
980 ti
>>316639505
Wow that might actually run Arkham Knight at 30 FPS
>>316639483
What would be a good upgrade to get maximum performance for it?
>>316639346
No, it's gonna be re-purposed. Possibly as a NAS, or a private server, because there's no reason to throw out good hardware that's been nothing but stable for me for years.
I've got an old Wolfdale that's gonna be put into a MAME cab when I've got the space.
>>316639629
super hero movies and games are for normies I dont do that shit.
>>316639505
Jesus, I didn't know we were in /toaster/

>>316639516
You dun fucked up. i5 4690k is better for gaming, you only need 8GB of RAM. SLI can be summed up a lot of the time by pic related, so the SLI mobo is unneeded.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wVn9gs
Here you go. I don't think the 980Ti will bottleneck the 4690k.
>>316639451
250 GB SSD is more than enough for your OS, and a few games that constantly need to access the drive to load assets.
Just send everything else to a 1 or 2 TB platter drive.
>>316638952
>tfw 10/10
fucking sucks being a poor fag
>>316639959
Yes, a FEW games. If it were just for his OS, 128 or even 64GB would do, and you'd have space for some Steam games left over.
>>316640015
>GT 430
lol dean
at a net cafe
how did they do?
they have 60 identical PCs
You guys enjoying dem winter temps?
Only spent a grand total of $45 on this thing, so I'd say its pretty good for that much.
>>316640092
My new PC is going to have a 250GB EVO because I'm gonna put stuff like GTA V and Fallout 3 on the SSD with my OS. Everything else can go sit on the 1TB and chill.
Been playing Fallout4 max settings with zero issues
>>316640223
>Netcafe
European detected, but all in all, not that bad for playing vidya, depending on the game.
Why are most mustards poorfags with toasters?
I thought we were the /master race/ not the /mcdonalds employee race/
>>316640363
Because this is /v/ and everyone here either has a shit job, is underage, or lives on autismbux.
>>316640363
Because most of these aren't mustards but filthy ./v/ console peasants whose only PC is what mom and dad would buy them from best buy :)
Too lazy to upgrade my motherboard.
Is it worth it getting a new processor?
>>316639516
>>316639959
I only bought an SSD when 480 GB became affordable. It always felt stupid to get a 128/256 Gb considering games like GTA5 can occupy more than 60 GB nowadays.
Mostly play Arma 3
pls gib new cpu
>>316640339
they have an ok selection
the only thing i played from start to finish at the net cafe was dragon age origins when they had it a while back
most people seem to be playing lol or world of tanks
>>316640363
Better?
>>316640363
The most commonly used video chipset by users with Steam installed is Intel HD video.
Having a good gaming PC is growing into more and more of a niche hobbyist thing and it's really not a cheap hobby.

>>316640616
Well now that SSD manufacturers have learned that even cheap SSDs from 3 years ago can last 40 years under 8 hours per day loads, then they'll finally start investing in larger capacities for cheaper costs.
We may soon be able to be rid of platter drives and all their drawbacks. Well, except for long-term storage.
>>316640824
>not putting games on his SSD
Are you some sort of pleb?
>>316636627
>650 ti
>>316640824
That's the whole point of having them in a gaming PC. Yeah, put the OS on it too, but it's mostly for gaming. Games are the best thing you can put on them, even. Not a lot of file transfers needed unless the game updates a lot. And still it's barely doing anything to its lifespan.

>>316641056
They have netcafes in Australia? Shit, you only see those in Europe and Asia usually.
>>316636218
That a 280 son?
>>316641052
You're quite misinformed. Big files don't hurt SSDs, it's big file transfers that do. If you put a big ass game on it, that's data that's staying there on the SSD, causing no harm.
>>316641052
>Not using his SSD like God intended

>DDR3-1600 RAM
Is it not worth it to go for the 2400 or 2133?
My GPU does run a little hot at times. Like 60C
I literally used Logical Increments and occasionally asked Computer Science nerds for their input. How did I do?
>>316641339
That's ice cold if those are your temps under load.
>>316641218
>big file transfers that do
so, recording vidya at 60 fps will harm the ssd?
>>316641240
No, RAM speed doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things in terms of gaming.
>>316641226
>Believing in god and not just a higher power.
Stop moving the goalposts son.
>>316641383
I mean 60 idle at times. Under load it's much more. Haven't really checked.
>Tfw I can run Fallout 4 on med-high on my toaster.
>>316641385
Yes, you're better off setting your recording program to render and save the files on a hard drive.
>>316641362
Why don't you have 16 gigs of ram?
>>316641450
>believing in a higher power when life itself is the miracle
No wonder you play games on a HDD
still bought fallout 4 and gtaV on ps4 for the comf factor.
I'm not done building it
I still need to get a new PSU, and some ram to match my motherboard
Are EVGA's PSU's any good? I'd go with Corsair but I don't wanna be a goy
>>316641554
Beats me. Guess I'll try to get another 8 gig stick on Cyber Monday
>>316641497
That's quite a jump for idle. Maybe it's not returning to a low-clock state for some reason? Mine did that too because I used different type of connectors for three monitors or something. Like, if it's two DVI, it will underclock, but if you thrown an HDMI connection in the mix too, it will stay clocked and increase idle temps.
>>316633284
GPU and monitor are shit, I know. Saving up for an upgrade.
>>316640743
Mine runs colder than that.
>>316641383

>>316641339
>>316641675

Just hook your PC to a TV and buy a 360 controller

>>316641385
The only thing that's ever going to harm your SSD is defragging it.
And by harm, all it's doing is wasting read/writes for something it doesn't need to do.
Your SSD is going to last for a very, very long time. It's going to last longer than you're going to own it, because you're likely going to replace a 120/240/480 GB SSD before it dies anyway. Are you going to still be using it in 5-6 years? It's still going to be working fine if you are.
They're already making 1 and 2 TB SSDs. The prices on these will go down as the prices on the current sizes of SSDs did. Are we still paying $300 for 60GB? No.
>>316641735
buy it is anon.
>>316641649
I'm just using one ultra wide monitor (3440x1440) via displayport. The high resolution could be affecting it. It also sometimes stop working at random times. I probably need to send it back and get a new one.
>>316641751
I like just sliding the game into the console and it just works. I read about the issues the issues people were having at launch on PC and didn't feel like tweaking anything.

Are you happy with AMD though, that's all that matter, I bought the 980 myself I feel like I should of just went big and bought the TI.
My friend told me he will give me the 750 Ti for $100 with an active replacement plan. But I'm looking to get something better, 980 is too expensive though, and it's major selling point is 4K which I'm not looking to do for a while. Is 950-970 any decent? Or should I stick with this GPU?
Rate but no hate?
>>316641926
I actually have the Rosewill Capstone
Should I just end up keeping that?
>>316642187
I'm no expert, but if it's working for you then sure.
JohnnyGURU is a god when it comes to PSUs. He has lots of info up about them you should check out if you're uncertain.
>>316642102
Dunno, didn't play much with it yet. It got some nice benchmark scores and it seems like AMD has the upper hand in mid-range GPUs nowadays.
>>316638349
Get a better CPU cooler and replace your thermal paste, then overclock your CPU. Consider getting a second 580 as well -- you are only driving at 1080p to be fair
Please assist. I'm in a decent spot so I don't really have a budget, i'm looking for one or two upgrades. What'll it be, and why?
>>316642461
That looks fine as-is. If anything get yourself a nice SSD+HDD combo for storage if you don't have a NAS.
If you must upgrade the CPU, the i5 Skylake is nice for the money, but barely better than the Haswell i7s. The Skylake i7 is in the same situation. But LGA1151 is a new socket, so that's always nice to have.
>>316641649
Running Fallout, I'm at about 70C which is pretty lousy in of itself.
why not
>>316642357
Yeah im kinda sad right now I had to RMA my memory, I have 16 gigs but one of the sticks is bad. Hopefully the new set will work.
Yeah though I do love this 980 that i currently have it does everything that I could ask of it.
>>316642889

This part made me laugh desu senpai.
So, /v/, I sold some stuff i had and my bed and got $340, then i sold my PSP and NDS for $60.
I'm also about to sell my Wii+chink component cables+Zelda twilight princess for another $60~70.
So far i managed to get $470 for my build, a I5-4460+Z97 Motherboard+8GB RAM (8x1)+430W PSU+HAF 912.
>No GPU
Cant afford it, i cant even afford a good 21~23" 1080p screen yet but soon.
I'm about to buy everything this black friday, with this i will be able to be part of the master race?
Is PC gaming worth it? there are a huge amount of games i want to play but i cant because pic related.
>>316643497
>430W PSU
Gonna be enjoying those beautiful Intel HD graphics, son?
According to my calculations, this PC should be on par with the PS4. Am i right?
>>316643497
How the build will look like in the end.
I5-4460
IGPU because poor, then upgrade to GTX 950/960
No HSF because poor.
GA-Z97X-UD3H
8GB 1600MHz RAM
1TB WD HDD or 1TB HGST HDD
EVGA 430W
HAF 912/200R/300R
>>316643864
For now, yes.
I'm going to add a GPU this Christmas.
I'm sure 430W is enough for a GTX 950-960, but im thinking of upgrade it to a EVGA 500W B to have some space for other options.
>>316644021

>>316644297
So, how does it looks? because its a really big upgrade from the computer im using right now even if i it doesn't have a GPU.
My current PC is starting to fail, HDD managed to last 19500 Hours till the first mayor failure happened, the motherboard is fucked up, doesn't allow to reboot the computer, only to turn it off and on, also 2 out the 6 USB ports are dead, so is the SD slot.
That im getting the money its sure to buy the list i said, but no GPU so i don't have to buy cheaper parts.
>>316644965
I've got an HDD @ 36,000 hours, and another @ 55,000
