>>53931766
you gotta fix that IDE cable. And take a picture with more depth of field. And blow the dust out of your GPU
>>53932456
I don't like LED fans but if you're gonna use them this is a good way to do so
>>53932628
come on man. you got a server board. fill that second socket and the rest of those DIMM slots. Stuff it full of drives, add some expansion cards.

looks nice but the photo quality and angle isn't the best to show off your guts. i don't know how to feel about that red fan on the heatsink. its the first thing to grab my attention and makes everything else overshadowed by it.

>>53932628
they make proper CPU heatsinks for that socket with proper fans and everything. that fan isn't helping much, I can guarantee that.

Does not help, Caseking is one of the best German vendors but its only archived there. I already searched the whole internet and I need the B series for Dark Power Pro.
>>53941216
noise is okay. replaced the front two 70mm fans with 60s that make less noise, but they're pretty ricer so I have to cut the anode power on the LEDs before I can take a non-potato pic of the front.
here, have a potato pic. I feel awful.
>>53941322
also for brevity's sake the power/HDD LEDs are back to being stock, but the LEDs from the fans overpower them, another reason to cut the anodes.
>>53941322
yeah get rid of those leds as soon as is humanly possible

looks good, but why get a strix 390?
>>53942027
The 390 strix has its cooling fins running down the length of the board, which is what you want if you have a vertical case like mine, the fans at the bottom blow directly into the heatsink keeping it cooler. Also apparently straight heatpipes don't work as well when vertical.

>mold growing in bottom of case
don't worry, you've got it covered.
>>53931766
Whoever designed my motherboard separated the IOMMU lanes so that I have to put a card in the bottom slot to get a GPU passthrough working. If my case had one more expansion slot I would not have to mount the PSU this way. This is temporary, because I have a Thermaltake F31 shipping that has exactly one more expansion slot. Also, I know I need to dust and cable manage, but I am waiting until I get the new case.
>>53943355

>>53943614
Why are you running 2 GPUs? Is this CrossfireX? I heard that would work without SLI bridges. Unsure about that Windforce card, it looks more like the current gen Nvidia lineup. Got one of the old Kepler based myself.
>>53943716
I am doing a GPU passthrough, so that I can run GNU/Linux, and play games on Windows 7 at the same time. The Windows 7 VM gets half of my i5, a physical SSD, and my r9 270. Linux has the other half of my i5, a different SSD, and a GTX 970. I will probably switch the GPUs around once I get everything moved into the new case.
>>53943095
Good idea sapphire cards are probably the best besides the msi cards
Up in the air between 6700k and x99. First option would be cheaper of course but is ddr4 and the 6700k worth it over z97? I can get a brand new i7-4790k for $260. Money isn't too big an issue but I hate to retire my perfectly good z97 board and 16gb ddr3.
Anybody owns this case?
Is it worth it to change the fans that came with it?
>>53944004
Stock NZXT fans are fine. Unless you're going for a certain aesthetic, stick with what you got.
>>53944073
Thought so I don't mind the sound they are pretty quiet but the case does seems to get kinda hot in this area.

I have a 500w cooler master psu idk if its gonna crack on load tho.
>>53944192
Oops wrong pic
>>53944220
Well your PC needs work. Spaghetti city for one. Secondly, I know for a fact that the hyper 213 evo you have can be mounted so the fan blows air out the back. As it is mounted now, your CPU heatsink is blowing it's hot air right onto the back of your video card.
As for your PSU, I'd recommend a replacement ASAP. Looking at the specs online, that power supply only offers a combined 360w on the 12v rails. Each rail is only offering 18amps too. Even the combined 36 amps on the 2 12v is low. Minimum recommended for r9 290/390 series is 42amps.
As it stands right now, you're playing with fire.
>>53943644
YES
>>53943644
Newworld
>>53944656
ah yes that picture was from when i just hooked the psu up, also i thought the evo 212 fan sucked air instead of blowing it in, ill switch it to the lower side if thats the case, it would also explain the high temps i get on idle.
But the looking at the manual it came with the psu gives 456W on the 12v the amps are low yeah it gives 38a
If only I spent as much on a camera as I spent building this.

AMD is suffering
Is r9 380/ gtx960 good enough?
Anything better than that would be really painful to buy.
>>53945370
Good choice anon.
>>53945495
gf me, international purchases are still restricted, I cant buy it. Fuck living in a banana republic.
>>53945470
Generally speaking, most people steer away from GTX 960 because AMD is a better value at that sub-$200 price standpoint, albeit you can still find a good deals for them if you shop around if you dead-set on AMD; I personally wouldn't buy one that didn't have 4GB of RAM.
Both GPU's are 1080p/30FPS decent for most modern, graphically intense games, while they will probably destroy most last-gen games. Personally, I wouldn't cheap out too much on GPU's since they are the single-most determining factor when it comes to gaming performance, while conversely, I'd rather base my build with the CPU that I want, than have to worry about upgrading later.

>>53954336
Cool. I've tried confirming that all my hardware supports VT-d or IOMMU fully, and it looks good on paper. Still, looking at some documentation for getting the VM with passthrough up and running it's obvious I'm going to have to get my hands dirty before I can really tell.
Plan is to run Debian testing, but not sure if it's going to be Xen or KVM. What are you using? Care to share any experiences? Thanks a ton.
Useful sites I've used for preperation:

>>53954336
>>53954415
Oh and also. I see you're using a dedicated video card (now 970, later r9 270). How have you connected your monitors in that case?
I'm planning on using internal graphics of the 6700K, but might add a dedicated desktop graphics card later.
>>53954415
I used that first arch wiki page to do everything.
For my OS I used arch, because with most other systems you have to update your kernel to get passthrough working. With Arch, because it is a rolling release, you know that you have all of the latest packages that support passthrough well. I use Debian on my Librebooted x200.
I have a script to launch the VM:#!/bin/bash

The reason I didn't use onboard graphics is because my onboard only has 3 video outputs, and I use 4 screens. Also, I play any games I can naively in GNU/Linux. I have one screen hooked up with DP, one with HDMI, one with dual link DVI, and another with single link DVI. On the card that is passed through I have one displayport passed through.
>>53933603
What are you using to light up inside the case at the top? Is it a case feature or your own light you installed?
>>53954663
Looks like an LED strip or cold cathode. You can buy them pre-wired for molex or SATA.
>>53954569
This is perfect, really appreciate it.
Updated kernel with Debian testing should be fine I think.
>>53954604
Aye, output can be a bitch with integrated graphics. One of the reasons I got the Z170-Pro which have 1x DP, 1x HDMI and 1x DVI which will work for my current two monitor setup. At the same time it kind of sucks since I bought the Evga 970 partly because it had 3x DP..
>Also, I play any games I can naively in GNU/Linux.
I would like to do the same. Atleast the integrated graphics (hd 530) should run some games fine.
>On the card that is passed through I have one displayport passed through.
I see. Looking at this video from the reddit post, he's able to use the monitor for both desktop and passthrough. Haven't looked at the details yet, but would you happen to know how he would've connected it? Or maybe how I could achieve the same with integrated graphics?
Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions, it's just not that often you find someone who actually got this shit working.

What water cooler parts are those?
>>53954789
Yeah, I use my upper right screen for desktop and passthrough, because it has multiple inputs. I switch the input when I boot the VM.
(I had to scale the image because even as a JPEG, the screenshot was 5MB.)
>>53954893
Ah, of course. Thanks again.
Nice setup. I'm getting excited now, this is going to be fun.

Man, what a blast from the past
Do you /g/uys use your processor stickers? If so, where do you put them?
>>53954663
I made my own LED strip
>>53934284
What HDD are you using now, just move and plug up the one in use
>>53954893
Just a question, are you on high dpi Linux? How is your experience?
I'm running a 4K screen and will have a second one soon, unsure about the scaling.
>>53957174
I don't really ever like display scaling. My two main screens are 1600p at 30 inches, and I can read them fine. I usually make text as small as it can be as long as I can still read it, so that I can fit more on the screen. I do not have any sort of scaling on.
>>53957174
Not that guy, but scaling abilities depend on the widget toolkit and/or desktop environment. Plasma (KDE 5) with Qt 5 does a fairly good job, dunno about others.
not quite on topic but i had a r9 290 die on me 2 years ago, the r9 290 winforce i got as a replacement just died, i am not sure if i want to do 1440p should i gtx970 or r9 390 or get a 770 from ebay ad wait till august for pascal
>>53957067
I did that already, build turned out really nice but now I will have to open it up to add the new hard drive when it gets here, hopefully it won't be much trouble since I've already arranged all the wiring.
>>53957605
My GTX 970 can do 1440p in most games without AA but it's always topped at 99% usage often I get drops sub 60 and low to 40.
>>53942219
Whats up this those faulty AMD temperatures? Mine just work fine.
>>53942219
Hey dude your operating system is overheating
>INB4 saying soon for too long
Not much more left until the watercooling loop is ready. I've had to make a lot of changes to the layout, and needed to buy extra fittings. My last fittings should be in on the 15th, and hopefully I'll have my motherboard mods done by then.
>>53931766
Poorfag case inbound.
PSU has been changed to a G2 model of the PSU and the cable management is a bit better despite the shitty case, but living in a dusty area doesn't have the innards looking too pretty.

can you post with the side panel on?

Where is the PSU??
Upgraded my RAM. Can't wait till Polaris comes out so my temps are decent.

Shit tier cable managment, non modular PSU that does its job.

Corsair Carbide AIR 240
>>53961831
How do you like your air 240? Here is mine.
>>53962410
Love it. Just need a PSU that isn't a complete octopus, some quiet cooling and maybe a splash of colour and I'd be set for _life_
If you're M-ATX you don't need a 10 metre tall gaemen case.
>>53962538
It is probably the best case i have ever owned. I especially like the dual chamber design.
>>53944220
Will AMD users ever learn that they CAN mount a Hyper 212 EVO in the correct orientation?
>>53945426
Use AMD overdrive for reading temps under load. Thermal margin is basically the distance between your current temp vs the thermal threshold. Higher numbers = better temps. Anything more than 70C away from the threshold is unreadable. Try to keep your cpu between 25C - 30C away from the threshold.
>>53941153
yeah that shit was so cheep
under £50 i got the psu for free along with the case graphics card and ram
Just swapped cases.
R8 mine
>>53964795
if you rate others
>>53959607
I dont use it since i ruined it. Back in my teen years i thought it would be cool to make a cut-out for the window but it turned into pile of crap. I threw it away few weeks ago.
>>53964795
What are your mobo temps, m8? Mine never goes below 32-34 idle and under full load it goes 45-46 sometimes. And those radiators on power phase and NB are crazy hot, I can barely hold my finger for 2 seconds.
>>53965385
I can cook bacon on my northbridge and on the vrms so, yes the run hot.

Build done. Now for the installation.
>>53968060
>>53968075
what case is this?
>>53968099
Fractal R5.
Lots of wasted space and it's a bit big for my setup, but it's easy to build, got it pretty cheap and comes with fans that don't need to be changed.
>>53968198
yeah i have a similar build and i can see what you mean about wasted space. it does look easy to build in though.
>>53968217
Note that I've removed the 5.25" and 3.5" bays, so it's usually a bit more packed. Or you could fill it with huge radiators.
>>53968075
Love the cable management.
Mine is a goddamned mess behind the case. and I have a full tower
>>53969032
Thank you! Took forever desu. Both the power and sata cables to the SSDs were a bitch, as you can see they're under a bit pressure, but it's fine now.
>>53961693
This is exactly why hardly anyone does themed PCs anymore, they age so poorly.
I mean, unless you go with something like a military theme in a Corsair C70, Clean aesthetics and minimalism will always look better than something like "THE WIDOWMAKER" with red and black spider accents, or "DEEPFREEZE" that's all blue and white with airbrushed glaciers and dremmeled cracks in the side-panel window to look like ice.
It seems like such a good idea when you're 15, but in three years it's embarrassing.
Why is every video card in this thread sagging horribly?
>>53969385
a GPU is basically a brick made of copper and aluminum with motors and fans, that's being held in place by a single narrow strip of silicone attached to a plastic clamp.
So, there you go...
>>53961693
Extremely cringy
>>53968060
Nice. Let us know how it goes.
>>53970436
Will do. Probably won't be in the current thread though.

>Get a fuck huge case, with option to install a shitton of hard drives
>Proceeds to remove only the optional hard drive rack, but the main one too, AND the optical bays
>Only uses two SSD's
This triggers me
Either get the Define S or build a fucking mITX
>>53971231
I get what you're saying, but I got the R5 at the price S usually goes for. Even if I just threw out all the bays, it has other small details that the S lacks such as rear fan mount options, fan control, front removal of bottom dust filter, more padding etc. Nothing important, but it helps.
mITX/mATX could work, but I wanted options to add a second graphics card without it getting too tight.
Could still probably do with a smaller case though. I don't really see why they made the R5 so fucking wide.
>>53971507
Could have gotten the NZXT s340. No optical or HDD bays. Full atx case. Can't fit tall coolers up to 160mm tall. Dual ssd mounts.
>>53971558
I suppose. Would rather have a smaller R5 desu.
>>53971638
I would too but they don't make it. They make an mitx r5 lookalike now though. The S nano.
>>53971657
Yeah that one is pretty cute, but like I said, I didn't want to rule out the possibility to add a second GPU. Appriciate the input though.
>>53968060
clean, makes the CM hypermeme 212 look good
>>53972455
Heh, thanks. Would love to get something fancier, but it's just so cheap and quiet that I couldn't say no.
Zero rpm PSU and GPU truly is a bliss. I can't hear that my computer is running when idle.
