hi /guts/
le old home server
loud as fuck and also mysteriously dropped the system ssd, even though it worked after reconnecting
Gotta take another picture added some more fans. Seemed to help with temps, can't upgrade to what i want yet though about to be out of the job at the 1st of year.

>>51872828
Nice. What kind of paint did you use and was it hard? I would love to do that but get a stencil of the Gigabyte logo to put in the middle.
>>51869198
I don't know why you would hate my PSU, since you can't even tell what it is from the pictures. But anyway, size != power. It's small yes, but it's also 750w 80 plus gold, so it's not like I'm short on power. I don't really know what you're trying to get at by saying you can have all your fans.
>>51871072
Not too bad for a first build anon. Good job!
does someone know if it's possible to install a H100 (or any dual fan rad) in the Coolermaster 690 II?
>>51872968
After some quick googling (something you shouldn't be afraid to do next time btw) I found the h100i should fit in the top spot in push or pull no problem, but NOT push/pull.
>>51873019
sorry, I should have been more specific.
I know the H100 and H100i will fit in the top but according to this the newer GTX uses different spacing for the fans and I'm not sure if my case is compatible with the new spacings
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/69218-corsair-hydro-h100i-gtx-h80i-gt-review-4.html
>be aware the radiator uses the newer 15mm fan spacing standard. Not all cases which have dual top mounted exhaust ports use this offset and the majority of older cases use 20mm spacing.
I can still hear my noctuas tbqh. They're quite, but I can still here them.
I thought they were supposed to be inaudible.
/g/ lied to me.
>>51873099
That's a simple thing to find out. Just measure the spacing between two adjacent mounting holes on your case. (For example, top right mounting hole of left fan, and top left mounting hole of right fan). Picture sorta related. 25mm spacing on a radiator.
It should be pretty obvious whether your spacing is 20mm or 15mm.
>>51873122
Nothing is ever 100% silent, stop believing the memes.
>>51873207
If I can't believe in memes I can't believe in anything.
>>51873122
You're supposed to slow them down quite a lot. Being high quality fans they will still move a decent amount of air even at slow speeds.
I had to do the opposite to pic related. The large fan was making a whirring noise so I had to speed it up by 100 rpm or so. The wind noise is still pretty much inaudible to where I sit.
>>51873207
thanks man
I'm waiting on an HD 6970 to stick in the PCIe slot sometime this week coming to me for free from a friend. I'm either going to keep it or sell it after that, depending on what it takes to complete the rest of it. fans still have to be hooked up etc.
>>51873122
/g/ doesn't lie, they just parrot marketing and facts they don't understand.
I can't hear mine, but that's because they're housed in a sound dampening case in a desk-cubbyhole-thingy.
Also they're running at 400rpm, that makes a difference.

>>51873738
Lower your eyes just a little bit.
Not that it matters, seeing as it's running off no GPU.
>>51873679
already fixed that. there's a fan in front of the drive to keep it cool. there's a couple millimeters too little of room in behind the front bezel and the case steel to mount it there, so a compromise had to be made.
also can see a Socket AM2/3/+ to LGA775/1156 adapter there to mount an AMD heatsink on an Intel CPU. Messing around with the idea of setting that up as well... but I need to find the nylon pins that plug into it to lock it.
there's also a 9800GTX+ for fitment purposes since that'll be about the size of a 6970 if not a tad longer.
>>51873790
I didn't know they made adapters for that.
This is an AM3+ board. The stock AMD cooler was really loud and only 3-pin so it wouldn't slow down nicely. I cut the feet off an Intel fan and it fits over the heat sink pretty nicely. And it's PWM so it's very quiet.
>>51873606
I haven't seen an Orochi in so long, let alone in a guts thread.
>>51874129
That was the reason for buying one when it showed up in my local listings for $30.
That and I really wanted minimal noise for a 24/7 torrent/server. Couldn't have been happier at finding such a steal in 2015.

All those money spent on $30 fans could be spent on better cooling solutions. I cringe whenever I see Noctua fans that doesn't come with the heatsink.

I believe you mean poofans.
AIO cooler pump being loud as fuck.
I bought a 120radiator version as well because it was dirt cheap. Plugged it in to check it's noise level, while slightly more silent, it seems to have way too little water inside as the airbubbles didnt settle in for 5mins of running.
I'm going back to the old regular cooling in the next build.
im going to clean this bad boy today.

>>51881821
Your gpu is upside down
Did any company outside of silverstone ever make a vertical facing case, where you don't suffer from gpu sag due to card weight being held primarily by the case? The FT02 isn't bad but is rather dated by todays standards.
>>51882602
There are plenty in mini-ITX and a couple in microATX form factors

>>51882708
HTPC cases then
Two of the screw holes on my Lian Li are stripped. One is the side panel, the other is a card slot screw (as you can see there's no bottom screw securing my video card). My next case will be steel, I don't give a fuck if my case weighs 40 lbs.
>>51882602
First I've ever heard of it. It's a neat idea, but this one looks pretty cramped. If there were an ATX version with enough 3.5" bays I'd probably consider picking one up if the price was reasonable. And honestly I like cases that have a subdued, traditional exterior design. Nice solid color, no LEDs or creases that try to make your case look like a Ferrari.
>>51883415
That's exactly my point, it prioritises 5.25" bays over 3.5"/2.5" bays/mounting slots, which makes it less than desirable, and from what I remember was fairly cramped behind the motheboard space.

>>51888350
pretty much >>51888467
take an hour or two to look over everything and figure out what can work.
>>51888350
A modular power supply, zip ties, and a lot of cable tucking is the easiest. You could also cut the cables to size and solder them. Then put on some sleeving to hide the shrink wrap.

I've run 2x 'supposed' 250w cards on a 750w PSU alongside 6 HDDs and watercooling gear without a hitch.
>>51890655
>Multiple pumps for more than one card
Honestly, I'm telling you to fuck off at this point, you have clearly never run WC or even bothered to read actual load draws from SLI/Xfire and WC builds.

>>51890483

Not that guy but heres my single 980 ti drawing 400w and the total system power consumption at 700w. I can make it draw 850w if I wanted to using occt+prime95 combined.
>cue the denial and shitposting about how the meter isn't accurate because you don't like being wrong
>>51892206
>>51892226
Titan X uses the same amount of power as the 980 ti.
>>51892227
simply stating what Nvidia recommend. And 2 980tis would never draw 850 watt by themselves. Again, merely the nvidia recommended wattage for a whole system with 2x980tis.
>barely pull
If you took a look at the link I posted you'd see a single 980 ti drawing 233 watts at gaming load. 254 at synthetic benching. The comment was that 4 980tis wouldn't pull even close to 1kw with synthetic load. Yes. Yes they would as simple math would tell you.
this whole thing started because of the "synthetic" comment. When running synthetic tests, you're giving your system the go ahead to run full tilt balls to the wall. Meaning each card will pull as much as possible. Not including CPU. As for your dual gtx 590 setup, for normal gaming load you're fine. Running any benches would personally make me nervous as you're probably brushing the ceiling of your PSU. Not a problem if it is a good one.
>>51892148
it is apparent you've either A. Never watercooled. or B. Someone fooled you into thinking you need more than 1 pump. The only dual pump setups I've ever seen are redundancy setups where one pump would automatically kick on if the 1st pump drops below a certain gallons per minute.
>>51892453
>Using some hacky software to measure power draw.
I measured my 2x Titan X power draw from UPS and I am barely breaking 600w.
Should I buy a Fury X or a 980 Ti? I have a 1440p monitor.

Literally "I bought Noctua because I heard it was good" the post
>Yes child, some people are willing to spend $30 more for quality. Deal with it and enjoy your plastic keyboard.
nobody is impressed because you decked out your shitty cookie cutter build with overpriced fans.
>>51892480
neither. r9 390 and wait for something better to come along. With the fury X you're paying top dollar for a 4gb vram card (HBM or not it is still 4gb).
As a fan and user of AMD, I would recommend the 980ti > Fury X still. Fury X is just not "There" for me. Zero overclocking, 4gb vram, CLC cooling required just to run stock. I'm not one to usually say "hurr wait for next gen" but in this scenario, wait for next gen.
Personally I play at 1440 60hz with a single 390 no problem. If you're talking 80hz+ then you'd need more power.
>>51892525
Honestly I only ever heard of noctua from /g/. I've used fans from Cougar, Noiseblocker, BeQuiet!, etc. All within the $15-$17 range. All quiet. All moving at least 50CFM with hydro-bearings. If people want to spend their money on noctua fans let them.

The only reason I bought Noctua for my server was for the warranty.
Can't beat 7 years, especially after several coolermasters, noiseblockers and yates falling after 3 years. Cheap as fuck and replaced anyway under under mutual agreements, I just wanted set and forget.

Love Noctua fans desu senpai

I broke 650 watts when I ran GTA V. Measured directly from UPS and not from aome shitty memesoftware.
Ive ran furmarka, burntests, 3dmarks and they. dont go higher
fucking psushills, buyers remorse on your overkill itwm yet?
>>51892945
>Yeah, how about an at the wall meter
Read the fucking replies. It was addressed an hour ago.
Goddamn I hate it when some faggot like this replies an hour later with the most obvious and predictable response when people already talked about it hours ago.
>>51893027
Your best buy ups isn't accurate
>>51893044
You keep believing on your shill memesoftware, I keep believing on server grade UPS and its measurement that was made to measure power draws far morr accurately.
How much does Corsair or nVidia pay you?
>>51893063
its apc smart ups 2200
>>51893084
>memesoftware
This is how you sound. You're trying too hard and it's really cringy.
Anyways, read up the reviews for the AXI series, it's accurate within .01%. I also get the same readings from my killawatt and ups. It's the second time I've said this. You don't believe my results yet you expect me to believe your bullshit.
Also why aren't you running occt? Afraid your shitty rosewill psu will blow up?
>>51893137
Yeah Im sure you need MLG Corsair 1200 Niggawatt and memesoftware to run Titan X sli.
Ten cents have been deposited to your bank accoun
>read reviews
why the fuck I need then when I have 860i and 760i here in my room and neither one has ever been close to max not even with Burntests or Furmarks and both Titan Xs overclocked?
>>51893175
Look, it's simple: install occt, run the psu test, report back the results and admit you're wrong with pride like a man.
It shouldn't take you more than a minute to download and run it and peek under your desk to check the reading. Or are you just lonely and want somebody to talk to?
>>51893210
>install this program that is somehow more accurate than APC server UPS
hihi lmao dude
i literally don't draw more than 650w (under extreme stress) with 2x titanx +i7 here >>51882546

It's because speccy reports actual MHz, not MT/s. DDR modules run half of their stated speed on the package, but transfer data twice per clock cycle (hence the name, Dual Data Rate). Blame shitty marketing for calling MT/s MHz.

Do you guys usually reinstall windows when changing drastically different motherboards?

I just reactivate, the automated phone service is quicker than a reinstall, even more so when you factor in reinstalling programs and setting everything up.

Hi /guts/!
>>51906115
Forgot pic..
So I bought my case and went for my first test fit, I've got a 960 and a modular power supply coming tomorrow, so that should get rid of the spaghetti.
Going to take everything out and paint the internals black sometime soon, do you guys think it would look better black?
Also I need some advice for cooling, I want to have the case as stock looking as possible, currently the only thing that hints at good guts is the thumbscrews and you can see the noctua fan from the back in the whole where the psu is supposed to go. I'm thinking ill cut the underneath of the bezel out and put mesh in there as well to mount a 120mm on the front, and ill cut a hole to mount a 120mm on the bottom of the case under the gpu since I won't be using SLI anyway.
Also, is it possible to buy USB 3.0 front headers? currently it has usb 1.0 not even plugged in since it has the same kind of plugs as the power button and power light. Would be nice to get front usb 3
>>51906128
what GPUs?
>>51907082
oh and does anybody know where i can buy one of those right-angle low-profile psu cables? And if I can buy those extension psu cables or do I have to make my own? I need to get those 5.25" bay covers back on to hide the psu
>>51903572

Nah, you're just a dipshit without any sources. Post your watercooled setup, friend.
First time posting, first build. Did I do ok /g/? Graphics card comes over the weekend, a GTX 950.
Case was only $20 at microcenter. I know it's not the greatest but I think it's ok.

>>51907082
I think I saw the thread where you were considering buying this.
That's fairly neat actually. I don't think painting the interior matters when the outside is so... classic
>>51907082
For the front io you could use something similar as what Kyle used

Thats lian li for you.
>>51909274
how is the fx handling with the 390 in games?

why is your cpu cooler positioned that way?

?
>>51911392
The plan was to get a second 780 but that never happened
>>51911432
I'm sure 760 could deal with even that.
Only time I ever needed higher than 760 was when I had three Fermis.
>>51911447
Even with overclock on CPU and both GPUs?
>>51911465
Yeah.
>>51909488
>>51909509
Thanks for replies guys, i've been at work.
I'm watching that sleeper build now.
>I don't think painting the interior matters when the outside is so... classic
It doesn't really, but I'd like to make it look as snazzy inside as I can, I might tear it all down after christmas to improve cooling and paint it, it runs hot with a 570 in there atm, hopefully the 960 runs cooler.
>>51909255
A-anybody?
>>51913028
*guy
Also I was telling you not to buy it in that other thread.
>>51914833
I checked [your dubs and] that build earlier and it seemed fine for what you have there. The cables could be tidied up a bit but otherwise there isn't much to be done without buying more stuff.
>>51914925
It will be worth the purchase when I'm done, if I can get thermals right I'm going to sound dampen the case as much as I can as well... The front of the case wasn't really designed to have a fan there even though the chassis can hold one, the 120mm i have there now just pulls air from the drive bay where the psu is instead of outside the case.
Nothing I can't fix though
no coment
Ditched my Antec P182 case and got myself a Lian Li PC-7HX.
>>51872924
It would restrict my build from having 4 fans, optical and 4 drives.
SFX PSUs just don't have the entire interface. (My big gripe, not saying because it's small that it can't preform the same)
Rate.
Added a purple spud to the power supply to even out the voltage.
Best guts in thread here,all others are shit.
>>51916921
Well for one, the fan argument is invalid. You can use splitters off of motherboard headers. Even if you only had two headers, you can split them into four at least. Besides that though, It's nof an sfx psu. It's a regular ATX PSU that happens to be a little bit tiny.
