You have it all wrong. The important content is the reasonable criticism that comes out of these threads.

Not optimal usage of things, isn't it?
Is PCI-E 2.0 enough for your video card?
For something I put a good amount of work into I don't really have any good pictures
>>51696448
>>51696448
>Not optimal usage of things
depends on how you look at it. I'd call it room for upgrades as needed.
>Is PCI-E 2.0 enough
my board is actually PCI-E 3.0
>>51696537
on second thought, I'm unsure if having a sandybridge CPU effects my PCI-E bandwidth
>>51696471
Your gpu isn't even plugged in
>>51696448
PCIE 2.0 doesn't even bottleneck titans.
1.0 can even be used for most cards still today
>>51696537
>my board is actually PCI-E 3.0
But CPU is not. Probably you can show us your GPU_Z printscreen?
>>51696448
>>51696580
Pci-e 2.0 isnt even a bottleneck for a titan x.
>>51696568
It is your just picturing it backwards what you are seeing is the sli connectors
>>51696628
>>51696568
>>51696471
Slightly better picture
>>51696414
I like the color coordination senpai. Wish custom cabling wasn't so expensive.
>>51696580
That is misleading because unless your gpu is in use most modern ones will downgrade to 1.1 to save power
Just finished working on this beauty, thoughts ?
>>51696670
Did you buy a 90 degree bent motheboard?
>>51696726
Your psu is flipped on wrong direction. The label should go inward.
>>51696742
It releases some heat into the case if you flip it the other way around even though the fan isn't acting as an exhaust
>>51696580
I'm assuming if my GPU can hit 100% usage, I don't have a reason to worry about bandwidth. amiright?
>>51696700
You could always cheat and buy extensions like me.
>>51696742
It's better for the fan to face the floor if you don't have a carpet.
>>51696733
Yes all the mosfets, caps and chokes are seated on the vertical part
>>51696763
And your rear fan would pull it out
Psu fans are barely on to begin with unless you're stressing it or have an old one that doesn't have smart fan controll

Any tips for cable management? Silencio mATX has no mobo backplate
>>51696837
My hangover is actually starting to hit
>>51696860
Cut the wires down to exact length and splice back together
Here's a budget build I made for a friend two Black Fridays ago.
If I remember, I had to stretch the front panel I/O cables as far as I could because this cheap-ass case decided to save money with short cables; that's why there's a cable awkwardly diagonal. The rear fan also had a molex connector permanently attached so you can actually see it right under the mobo, fucking Deepcool Tesseract case.
NXZT makes the best budget cases if you ever manage to find one from $30-$40, everything else will only bring you pain.

>>51696966
That's what the picture makes you think. It's actually on a book named Goldorak. (which I never read)
>>51696860
Just do whatever you can, and BELIEVE. Use EVERY SINGLE hole you can from anywhere to route cables.
For this build, I sneaked all those PSU cables through a tiny 1'' hole. Besides the large ATX cable, this build would've looked disgusting with spaghetti everywhere. Fucking $30 budget cases man, there's a backplate, but it's almost solid and has less than half an inch of clearance.
Just believe and any piece of shit case can work.
>>51696902

That's what aussies need to shitpost
>>51696670
Take a pic of the whole case, I wanna see how tiny you got it. Not enough ITX builds.
>>51696726
Good cable management, but you should use the grommets next to the Sata connectors to route that GPU cable instead of having that cable dangle so far out like that.
>>51696414
>Only 8gb RAM

I've still got an FT02 from 5ish years ago... time for an upgrade? I haven't looked at cases forever. Any suggestions? Or is this thing still decent?

I put this together the other day, but I didn't put too much effort into cable management.
I really want to get custom cables, but I'm not sure where to get them from. I want to go the whole way and cut my own lengths, but I don't want to pay a fortune.
Are there any issues with compatibility, or is everything standard?
>>51696726
Very nice, why the overkill powersupply though ?
>>51697062
Thanks man
I was actually thinking that a second ago, it does look a little odd with the cable coming all the way around like that
>>51697029
Closest pic I have I can take a better one with the side panel off tomorrow
>>51697271
I got it really cheap off a mate that upgraded to the Corsair AX1500i
>>51697342
Neat, shame about the radiator. Also
>window and I/O are on the same side of the case
>every other mATX and ITX case has them on opposite sides so that the window or I/O become pointless
Why is that so hard for companies to do? Fuck.

>>51697232
nice new fans, question though. Did you consider the NF-S12A for the back? Not sure if it would work out for the front because of the front panel.
what should I do next? optical drive is actually removed now btw
ready for horror???
this is what I did yesterday, trying to shove a 390 onto a core2duo. didn't even work. I told the kid to return the GPU and upgrade his CPU first.
>>51698920

>>51696775
You have bigger things to worry about than PCIe 2.0. Like that Kuruma. Get rid of that shitterbox.
>>51698920
flip your cpu fans upside down so the cable coming out of it isn't visible.
>>51699049
thanks, I'll give that a try. I might try remaking those cables on the CPU fans to only be an inch or so long
>>51696775
>1392.2MHz
Overclock that card, you fuck.
I recently ordered a logisys light bar. I tried to salvage the light bar from an older build, but it wasn't worth it.
Will probably end up swapping out the noctua fans for the original NZXT fans at the same time.
>>51699475
Thank you for not putting your two cards on top of eachother, its so fucktarded seeing that.
>>51699475
What's up with the ricer looking SLI bridge? Isn't it just a ribbon cable?
"cable management"
Really need to take new pics sometime. Maybe next time I clean my filters I'll snap some new shots.
>>51700158
No, it's an Nvidia-branded hard SLI bridge.
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/sli/bridges
Compliments the reference cards perfectly. It's even metal, just like the cards.
>>51700389

I swear to god, next time I'm buying a modular psu even if it's overpriced.

>>51700641
....what?
>>51700637
>http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/sli/bridges
Still pretty ricer looking. I rather get one of the older ribbon cables or hard plain pcb ones.
Miss how hardware looked before that professional quake player ruined everything.

>>51696918
Wait a sec, are you running a P3 or is that just some weird-ass cooler?
First build here, not quite sure what to do about the cables. I don't care about aesthetics really I just don't want it messing with the airflow. Thoughts /g/?
>>51700824
Some slot-based CPU with a cooler appropriate for that kind of CPU. Either Slot A K7/Duron/Athlon or Slot 1 Celeron/Pentium II/Pentium III.
Didn't look around for markings on the board, so can't tell you which CPU and slot combination it is.
>>51700782

Close that bottle you autist, cute pc btw.
I am assuming you are asleep, my shift will be over soon so I will try to work on it some more then. I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly
i've got this:void loadEntityPrototype(lua_State *vm, int prototype, const char *path) {
luaL_dofile(vm, path);
lua_pushnumber(vm, prototype);
lua_getglobal(vm, "prototype");
lua_settable(vm, LUA_REGISTRYINDEX);
}
I assume I use it before anything else (like use it in my main function)
I ran it like so:loadEntityPrototype( LS, 0, "./objTest.lua" );
inside that objTest.lua is (what you had given me earlier, unchanged)prototype = {
new = function()
return {
name = "Sample",
foo = 0
}
end,
update = function(self)
self.foo = self.foo + 10
end,
draw = function(self)
return "%s(%d)":format(self.name, self.foo)
end
}
anyways, i've made me a new entity but it crashes because the table index is nil. so im sure it's not the code, im sure i'm not putting something in correctly
at this point I just need to know if I am doing it wrong still

Well I cut that window myself, and they actually sell a window panel for the other side.
Anyone got any good tips for taking photos? I have a good lens but cant get the lighting right. I have a red led bar now too so it looks pretty sweet but cant capture that on camera.
>>51705722
Use multiple lights and multiple angles to prevent shadows.
If it's nice outdoor lighting is often really good and easy.
>>51705748
Thx. I'll have to try that. It looks even better now cause I've got all fans routed to fan controller so no fan cables out. Any a new red led ran in back for exhaust
waiting on pic related to finish before I open up the panel and change stuff. Having an addition to the guts family. Taking out the 750gb drive from my main PC and moving it over along with one of my spare 250gb ssds. Will post back when this shit finishes.

The cooler is garbage, it's very loud and not very efficient. Should've just gotten a Noctua or 212 EVO. The front panel needs to be taken off when gayman so that the air flows better. Liquid cooling pairs very badly with this case, which of course I didn't think of when buying it. The airflow sucks ass anyways, it just looks pretty.
>>51706295
Is that an intel stock heatsink fan attacked to that cooler?
How did you attatch it & how did you prevent vibration?
Here's mine. Definitely a lot better looking out there, but I didn't have the opportunity to buy matching parts, but if you look, at least the wires are exposed as possible. Just got a new water cooler yesterday to replace the old one that died and at full load I'm at about 55 degrees which isn't bad at all.
Just another H440. Great for cable management, which is good because I suck at it
I just built this as a backup server / garage desktop.
>>51706849
Yup! Jury rigged it... stays snug between heatsink fins. No vibrations and also very quiet. Only con is that now I can't put the side panel back because of the coolers height.
>>51707162

If it's just going to be a stream and video capture machine, the 250d is an overkill case. They're like $80/$90, and quite big for mITX. I'd recommend looking into a Silverstone SG13 or a Coolermaster or something. The 250d really wouldn't be worth the extra money.
>>51707200

This >>51706768 fag here. Here are my two other computers that I don't really use for anything. They're mostly cobbled together from old parts. Smallest is the oldest, I've recently started to refurbish it. It had a Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66ghz in it, but I got a Core 2 Quad Q8300 for pocket change and tomorrow I'm going to get 8 gigs of DDR2 for it, used of course. It's a small project of mine, the final slice is to get an SSD for it, the 320gb maxtor it's using is from 2007 and it's slow. It's using my spare 7870, aim is to BF4 playable. Already fires the game up but it runs out of ram. The other computer is pretty much my previous computer from 2011.

>>51707470
Not bad anon! Only component I don't like is the Corsair PSU. I'm wary of them.
1.265v is rather high for 4.6ghz don't you think? Most chips I've seen will do that at 1.24v - 1.24v. Have you tried back the voltage down?
>>51707543
1.24v - 1.25v I mean. oopsie
>>51707543
turns out it is running at 1.256v. :) havent checked since its been running smooth for about 8 months. but i thought over 1.3v was high? im not sure.
I have faith in the psu ,though. rm850s were made by channel well tech
>>51707705
Well yea, 1.3v is more or less the absolute upper limit most people go by. I've just seen a lot of 4690k's doing that same frequency at a lower voltage, so I thought I'd ask. 1.256v is certainly much better than 1.265v though, so that's good. Couldn't hurt to try taking it down just a tad though!

All in all I spent less than $200. Got this build to leave on 24/7. Whole system uses maybe 15w at idle. Using it for when I get home from work and all I want to do is watch a movie/anime. There is no reason for me to fire up my overclocked gaming machine for that.

Non modular EVGA 500w PSU I had laying around.
>>51710514
I fucked with a 3850 once, took two days to update, it was slow as fuck, office took a minute to open.
Nah... I genuinely think a raspi2 would be better
>>51710571
huh? What were you using it for? I have yet to play with it because I still need a DVI-HDMI adapter to get 1440 support from HDMI, but it seems fast enough for basic browsing and video playback.
Partially the reason I bought the r5 230. to take load off of the sempron.
>>51710599
It was a acer thing a client bought and I had to support. It died in a month I think

>>51696816
>It's better for the fan to face the floor if you don't have a carpet.
Why?
>>51711005
PSU fans are intake. If it is facing the floor, it gets fresh air from outside the case. If the fan is pointing inside the case, it draws whatever air it can from inside the case. If you have carpet, the PSU will suffocate and run hot unnecessarily because it is struggling to pull in air.
If you're not on carpet, I don't know why that guy is saying your PSU is wrong. Looks fine to me.

Today I upgraded the potato machine and it's running BF4 better than consoles.
Went from a core 2 duo e6750 to a core 2 quad Q8300 and 4 gigs of ddr2 to 8 gigs of ddr2. Made the computer entirely useable for pretty much all of my needs. If my main computer(s) broke down it wouldn't even matter that much.
>>51717359
Keeping my LGA775 machine around for this reason. With a quad core CPU, it wouldn't even matter much if my current machine died. I also have an AM3 Phenom II machine I got for free laying around.
Many of the games I play today ran fine on my old LGA775 board with an E7600. Guess It'd be even better with a Q9550 or similar.
Upgrading to a custom waterloop with a 240 rad on the next month, also Which fans are good for silent operation? This one's are loud af.

You were supposed to mount that SSD the over way, but it looks like you wanted to use one sata power cable, oh well.
>>51718023
Also, you should route that GPU cable like in pic related so it'll look cleaner and you can deal with GPU sag a bit.

Jesus bro, look at all that wasted space. /10
Do any of you guys actually pay for a grounding tool, or do you just use your PSU
>>51719216
The second one, and I often forget. Fairly sure I tried to remember during the CPU insertion mostly out of pure paranoia. If you're generating enough charge to cause damage, you have bigger issues.
>>51719216
PSU, touch the grounding on your power outlet every few minutes, etc.
>>51703457
That's a shit overclock, senpai. 1500MHz minimum for a 970.
aio coolers are a pain in the ass. buying caselabs and going full custom next build
>>51713474
I think this means I'm good, right? I just arranged them like that to get the gpu fan closer to that bottom exhaust fan and to separate it from my sound card because I was getting some noise from the card.
>>51719249
>If you're generating enough charge to cause damage, you have bigger issues.
Erm, you can easily generate 10s of kV easily just by walking around in jeans, you know that, right? And that can easily kill an IC or a CPU if it hits it in a shitty way.
>>51719173
you mean room for expansion?
>>51719287
i've built 3 computers on carpet while wearing socks. either the static scare is overblown or i'm living on borrowed time
>>51719287
Jesus man, I hope you don't play your computer games after walking back from the fridge in jeans!
>>51719440
>>51719484
Oh ffs, I never said that it'll immediately manifest or that it's a huge issue for the average joe, but claiming that you'll never generate enough statig charge is complete bullshit. There is a reason why people who constantly work with these kinds of parts are grounded constantly, so you should also ground yourself every once in a while. just saying.
>>51696448
As if any dedicated video card is going to fully saturate all the PCI-e lanes.
>>51719440
Same here. Never seen anything related to static and I've built computers in unsafe ways too.

I bought the case knowing it was more expensive than i needed it to be. I just asked /guts/ what a good case is for first time builders with good cable management and air flow. The 500r is exactly that. I also mainly asked about cable management / assembly of a pc because i had never done it before.
/guts/ didn't help me select parts, just to build. Also I think it's a pretty good mobo for the price. Not good for oc-ing but I never planned to.

>>51732237
I laugh every time I open speccy. God only knows why they chose c.p. for it.
>>51696414
Quick question. Well, a couple actually. I for some reason can't get over the obvious potential for the old legacy IDE connections that are still included on pretty much all motherboards. The bus width alone seams like an obvious implication of the connection standard's potential especially in UDMA. Why doesn't Microsoft provide OS sophisticated enough to make use of that kind of bus width and provide the documentation to make such technologies popular?
Any suggestions on better cable management? Will be taking it apart and redoing it tomorrow.
>>51696414
The main reason I say documentation on the issue is necessary is because I wouldn't know if a standard IDE drive would be best or an IDE SSD? or one of those Disk on Module IDE Drives? or how about a hybrid drive. Obviously a standard drive would benefit greatly from higher cache, but no one ever talks about such things. I wish I could find at least a hint as to what direction to take, and a clue as to what formatting options to use. Maybe I should just leave it unformatted as one big disk of unallocated space? Could it be made use of?
>>51696414
Also, is there any type of Network Attached Storage solution that can make use of hybrid drives and Native Command Queuing?
>>51696414
For instance if I invest in one of those NAS disk bays that utilizes a core i5 processor, do you think windows will communicate with it on any kind of level that will allow programs to queue up data ahead of time?
>>51696414
I have one of these HP xw6400 with dual xeons 8gb of RAM and a Radeon 6850.
Just how shit tier is this thing? I've been trying to find something it's good at and even with the addition of 2 high end (if slightly outdated) graphics cards, and I've yet to come up with anything positive to say about it. Should I just load it full of old hard drives and leave it as a file sharing system?
It really seemed like the top tier Front Side Bus speeds combined with two pretty decently specc'ed CPU's and a high end graphics card should have been a winning combination. So wtf is up? Also it sits around clicking all fucking day long when it should be in an idle state. What is this thing doing that I'm not aware of. Little did I know I was investing in HP's worldwide temporary data storage solutions.
>>51696414
You guys are so useful.
>>51731319
Turn that fan around so you can get air externally and not from your wireless card, dumbass.
>>51732731
why are you adressing op?
why do you think this thread would be the right place for random questions?
why do you feel entitled to an answer?
>>51696414
Here's an Idea for temporary data solutions, have motherboard manufacturers offer chipsets that only offer top tier performance for gamers if they recognize one of their branded servers on the LAN, and then offer them a free battery backup UPS if they invest in both, and even allow them to use the co-op server for their own file sharing system as long as a certain amount of space is available to the system at all times.

Faggot, can't you even recognize what you're looking at? That's the power delivery daughterboard on a Maximus * Impact motherboard. Even if it looked anything like a wireless card, it's still in completely the wrong spot in relation to the I/O panel to be an expansion card.

Now, I'm not saying z97 is garbage-tier or anything, but the last time I bought any computer parts (besides my GPU) was in 2010. z170 is the next chipset to have. Why not buy it?
>>51736490
>DDR3
Can you show me some specific examples where DDR3 is a cut above DDR4? And no "Higher Numbers!!" does not count. Show real world examples, because I haven't seen any except in specific cases such as video editing or other business/professional situations.
>8 PCIe 2.0 lanes vs 20 PCIe 3.0 lanes
pic related
>less USB 3.0 options
Can you further explain? Because This doesn't actually mean anything, as far as I can tell you're just making shit up to try and add more points to your case
>no USB-C support
If there ever was a point in time that some one desperately needed USB-C or USB 3.1, they can buy a PCIe addon card that has this. Currently there's almost no devices on the market that even use this platform. By the time Enough devices DO use it that you'll actually want it, the hardware you just bought will be obsolete and dated. So will z97, even moreso even, the difference is, you paid a premium for a 5% difference and Ooohhh boy you've got integrated usb C. Guess what, connecting a USB 3.0 device to a computer with a core 2 duo in it is still connecting a device to a computer with a fucking core 2 quad in it. The compatibility at that point won't be the issue.
I am not saying z170 is garbage either, That's why I said "Yes, Mostly" ....and then explained.
z170 is fine, if you need DDR4 and can't afford 2011v3, or something like that, but the differences between z170 and z97 just don't justify the cost differences IMO.
Last week you could get a 4790k for the same price as a 6600k. Even today their costs are so similar.
>>51736608
>core 2 quad
you know what I meant.
>>51736608
>>51736490
Further case in point
>>51736608
>Can you further explain? Because This doesn't actually mean anything, as far as I can tell you're just making shit up to try and add more points to your case
z97 supports 6 USB 3.0, z170 supports 10.
>If there ever was a point in time that some one desperately needed USB-C or USB 3.1, they can buy a PCIe addon card that has this.
The fact you can buy an attachment to make up for the lack of a feature is not a selling point.
If you think USB-c is a "5%" upgrade from USB 3.0 you clearly have no idea what USB-C has to offer.
Also I paid 90 bucks for my board. Not exactly a super high ridiculous premium. I mean, if z97 works for you and your income bracket, go ahead, but the benefits for the new chipset are VERY worth upgrading to if you haven't built a rig in the last year or so.
>>51736666
Yeah, I got a good CPU for pretty cheap.
Thanks for proving my point?
>>51736721
>he thinks a 6600k can hold a candle to a 4790k

it was the first site i found that showed similar numbers to what I had seen before when i did this exact same comparison last month when I got the new rig.

I spent less on my CPU and get more feature functionality.

>>51737446
Your cpu fan is on backwards. The fan itself should be on the rear side of the case. The fans work by pulling air through the heatsink and pushing it out into the rear fan that pushes it out into your room
>>51737471
The two configs make basically 0 difference for him.
>>51737471
in that case, its about as good as you're going to get. Temps on an 8320 never got above 50c under load so I was ok with it.
