my semi-completed first build and first post in a guts thread, what does /g/ think of it so far?
I think you're a retarded faggot.
Hi OP, this is my first post to a guts thread too :3

>>47475640
Here is a picture from Google. It's supposed to be lopsided if that's what you're wondering. Having a backplate helps to prevent sagging.
>>47475730
Yeah, I probably should. It's a pretty hefty chunk of metal.
I need a new picture.
>>47475843
Forgot pic. It looks weird but it's definitely a lot quieter than the stock cooler. Temps are a lot lower too.

Can y'all help me out?
>>47476710
Literally just finished building and installing.
>>47476854
Looks good, except for the LEDs.
>>47476887
I would say those are fighting words but you can't tell the difference between a LED and a Cold Cathode.
First mITX build and man, cable management (if that's even a thing here) was an absolute bitch. I don't have small enough hands, and there's nowhere near enough space to make this look remotely tidy. This alone took me 3 hours of trial and error to get right.
>>47476854

Nice job man, do you plan on getting a GPU?
Only flaw i can really point is the WD Green drive.
>>47479604
whoooooooooops wrong pic
>>47479604
WD Greens are okish. I use mine for media and it works fine, also run EVE off of it with zero problems.
Got it on sale so I said fuck it. It does have an incredible annoying feature of turning off in ~30 seconds it feels like. Takes 5 seconds to boot up and its sort of a pain.
>>47479639
It's also dusty as all fuck, keep meaning to clean it

sure is a bunch of pictures in here that aren't showing the fucking back panel.
Built my first computer a couple weeks ago.
Loving SSD speeds and finally having a dedicated video card. I'm very proud of it. I know the cable management could be better.
>>47479849
No shit you spastic nigger, thats the whole point of a back panel, to tuck the cables out of sight...
>>47479743

>>47479869
No faggot, it isn't used to hide your fucking cable spaghetti.
Shitbirds use that excuse. It's like saying you cleaned your room but just stuffed everything under your bed.
will it run gta guize?
>>47479842
If he does, they're pulling air far less effectively than the unimpeded exhaust fans.
>>47479919
Well then what would you do with the cables? Zip tie them behind the back panel? Thats what most people do
>>47479924
god damn that is sexy
changed cpu cooler orientation so its not roasting my card, 2lazy to take new pic
>>47479919

That's exactly what the back panel is for, though. /guts/ isn't about posting the back panel, are you new or something?

kek
serious though, try delidding with CLP or CLU. it could make a massive difference
>>47480627
hey, thanks.
I went with the 650 because my primary use is Photoshop, and it benchmarks as well for that as cards that cost 3-4 times as much. Besides, it let me keep my power consumption down and use the arctic cooler to remove the fans from my gpu and reduce noise. Once the front fans are replaced it will run almost silently.
>>47474791
>>47475709
nice cpu cooler brothers.
>>47480688
Clc cools just fine as far as I can tell. It idles really low and then spikes randomly. I never had this problem on my old mobo. So I'm wondering if my cpu is shitting the bed.

Doing a build in an Enthoo Pro. Have a 200mm fan, a 140mm fan and a 120mm rad. What's the optimal setup for postive/neutral pressure?
>>47480692
Hello, sugo-bro.
Post case back side, please.
No longer using a crossfire setup. Have a Define R4 on the way as well another ssd. No more mechanical storage for me. Updated pics later.
>>47480806
If it's fucked anyway, might as well try delidding.
>>47481191
just for u
>>47478211
yup, but with the closed front (B type) - the mesh looked a little silly to me, and benchmarks gave equal temps regardless.
It's quite nice and is cheap enough to factor into a "budget conscious" gaming build like this one.
Next time I think I'm going to go for a SFX PSU, strip the power sheaths, and make a custom water loop for both the CPU and GPU.
The surprising thing is there's actually a lot of free space left in the chassis, the GPU (EVGA 970) leaves at least 2 ~ 3cm at the front and even with an ATX PSU, there's plenty of space between the mobo, GPU and radiator / front fan. They could, and for the sake of science, should make it smaller...
>>47480353
is that the corsair H100i GTX cooler?
I've heard that there's some serious stiffness in the pipes and wanted to know if that's true? I have a H55 atm, but am thinking of going to H80i GT
Someone recommend me a white LED 120mm fan that's silent but cheap. I'm going to need two of them for the front panel, and plan to move the regular fan from there to the top exhaust
>>47483221
its a h100i
>>47483205
Get a SFX-L if it's compatible. SFX is loud as fuck.
>>47484129
honestly, the PSU I have right now is loud as fuck - fan is load controlled, not temp controlled, so I think I must be hitting a threshold (it's a 550w so it wouldn't surprise me).

i upgraded my NAS with a BBU.
>>47487248
ayyy lmao
>>47479852
Better than mine. I never post my PC because people would make fun of me for having a floppy drive and 2 optical drives.

That actually can run GTA V. Maybe 30FPS@1080p.
>>47479988

>>47488864
>implying mini itx case
that shit looks bigger than the prodigy
>>47488850
Ivan is that you?
>>47488946
It is a mini itx case. Its the mercury s3 from case labs. 10.54" x 15.03" x 14.94" width, depth height.
>>47476854
Looks nice
What case is that and are those 970 or a 980?
>>47489061
They'd have to be 970s because 980s need an 8+6
>>47488864
I'm sure the bitfinix phenom can as well
>>47488850
That's some heavy sagging, but I love the overall look of that loop. Purple isn't really done often.
>>47489027
that is actually smaller than i thought but it still pretty big for an itx case
>>47489154
Well it's caselabs so it's pretty beasty. That one doesn't even have the pedestal on.
>>47489192
>>47489112
You wanted advice on fixing up your aesthetics, right? Why not replace those grey basic LED fans with more white ring SPs like your exhaust and put in an LED strip for lighting?
also gud noise removal job m8
>>47488829

>>47475510
>31 C SSD
nigga, what are you doing?
>>47491211
direction of top and front fans make sense, if the aim is to minimize noise, but il agree that the rear fan shouldn't be there at all.
>>47479852
Gratz bro, looks good.
>>47488864
According to the specs:
380mm x 268mm x 382mm
= 38L
The AI7 is 41L and fits 2*240 + 280
If you're using itx you can also add two more individual 120mm rads
Good build and certainly looks lightyears better than mine but I can never understand those who go itx and buy humongous cases.
If my temps max at like 70°C would water cooling be worth it for my GPU? Also how much worse would the temps become if I add a second one?
>>47488599
>>47478211
-dremeled out optical bay
-top grille was way too restrictive so that's gone too
-cut out a hole in the floor for the rad's drain port
>>47488710
do you even know what haswell PSU compatibility means? it means the PSU supports ultra-low-power C-states which are usually disabled by default in BIOS, and not important for desktop users anyway.
>>47491211
>I'd spin faster if I were unplugged!

>>47489112
>>47491211
>4 inputs blowing into 1 exhaust
>we'll assume the exhaust fan isn't running at 4X speed/CFM/RPM of the input fans.
The exhaust fan is going to receive a force larger than it's own speed. If all the fans are the same CFM, then the exhaust will have 3X force (4x-1x) applied to it. The motor will act as a brake and restrict the blades from moving faster causing positive pressure inside the case. All 5 fans will be fighting against each other since all other egress is blocked off. This will cause excessive noise. Removing the exhaust fan would improve airflow and reduce noise.
>I photo-shopped the photo-shopped pic. The joints in the foam are hidden much better now!
>>47495270
>being this autistic
So where are your guts, anon?
>>47495270
The exhaust fan wouldn't spin faster if it was unplugged though, that's fucking retarded, sorry.
>>47495270
You're fucking retarded because the case isn't air tight and air can escape through the gaps. Not only that, fans will receive less than a 1% performance if there are obstructs on the exhaust end.
Try it out yourself:
-check the rpm of a fan with no obstructions
-check the rpm again when you place the fan on the table, with the exhaust down
The result is a negligible rpm reduction.
Now compare the completely non breathable surface of your previous table to the air pressure inside the case.
In confined areas such a computer case fan setup is completely irrelevant as long as you can transport air quickly in and out.
>>47495531
>case isn't air tight
He's photoshopped it to make it look air tight!
I've ran a fan on a tabletop before. It runs really loud due to the air being blocked. All fans get louder as you restrict the air!
The only thing you've proven is that modern fans have enough power to maintain RPM with all the air blocked off.
>In confined areas such a computer case fan setup is completely irrelevant
You need to read up of fluid dynamics before you can successfully troll about fans!
>>47495630
>I've ran a fan on a tabletop before. It runs really loud due to the air being blocked. All fans get louder as you restrict the air!
No moron most of the fan noise is from air turbulence, with it sealed off all it remains is the motor noise and the small amount of air being escaping.
His setup is perfectly fine and you're just bitter as hell with your shit rig. Be glad you got schooled for free today.
>>47495695
>with your shit rig
Damn... that stings.
How'd you know that my cables aren't sleeved and my fans are not made by Corshair and my case isn't Fwactal Design?

>>47477160
Here's post-management.
I've decided to replace the PSU with a Silverstone SX500-LG, which is fully modular and comes with a flat set of wires, so I should be able to get rid of the chunky wired mess between the radiator and the PSU now.
I'm also soon going to be removing the 3.5" drive from the computer and replacing it with another SSD, so more space and less noise. I'll probably have a much nicer looking setup in a week or so.
>>47498893
Blocking the fan with a video card, though...
>>47499006
Not buying it. Surely they would design it so it only fits the traditional horizontal configuration, if they had to choose.

>>47501497
You can start by giving me that GT you're wasting as an outtake.
>>47489112
I'm really quite confused about what I am seeing here. Is this for sound proofing? Or are you attempting to make an oven?
>>4749992
if you can afford making a custom ultra slim rad LOL
>>47501904
not that guy but a rear fan helps by sucking the hot heatsink exhaust air out of the case, it's not going to all perfectly sail through the rear grille, some is going to bounce off the back of the case and linger around
>>47502383
I meant that GT, or Gentle Typhoon, is being wasted as an outtake. They're probably the best fans you can get for heatsinks and radiators and are becoming very hard to find.
>>47477160
Be sure to get the Silverstone short cable kit
>>47502666
Right, understood. Any half-decent airflow fan could do the job it's doing.

>>47505853
Because I haven't got the new monitor yet. I had the budget for a second 980, or a new monitor. It didn't make sense getting 1440p with 144hz with only one 980, so I figured I'd get the second 980 first and then buy the monitor after.
But I want to get the Acer XB270HU. It's the next piece of kit I want to buy.
