Cases suck edition
>>54115349
I expected those disks to run hotter. How do you cool them in summer?
>>54115673
I don't, they don't really get that hot.
>>54115723
That's nice, sadly I live in a area where there is a lot of dust so open setup isn't viable without PC Dirt bags.
>mfw I gave all my legos to neighborhood kids when I started high school.
>totally regretting it now
R8? Motherboard was literally 40% off thats why its a mini ATX
I have a shitty OEM case, I'm looking to get a Define R5, yes/no?
>>54116204
maybe
>>54116179
μ-ATX, not mini-ATX. There is no such thing as mini-ATX. You are thinking of mini-ITX.
>>54116486
Wait, wanted to type Micro not Mini, but you are right its also have the μ-ATX name too
Not all cases suck anon. :^
>>54116179
You can probably make the front I/O wires a little cleaner, but it looks pretty good overall.
whatsup sluts!
>>54116770
I used the lamp to show tge exterial, but usually even with the meme leds on, nothing black is really visible. I will try to paint the red Sata cable red
>>54116770
>No colore scheme
>Reference card
>Cable laying on backplate
>CPU cooler
You're case does suck though
I agree OP
>>54117331
Hey I was thinking about getting a schiit stack
What's your opinion on them babe
>>54117347
Great value imo and looks nice on the desk. I don't have a ton of experience with amps/dacs but my sennheisers really benefited from it
>>54117393
They should be able to push 200Ω right
>>54117456
The 285 is like a retard in a music class
They can play instruments and shit but it's hard to find where they fit in
>>54117331
>he actually bought the $20 6" RCA cables
Wew, they're like $2 from mono price.
>>54117413
They can push ~400-500mw at 200 ohm which should be enough for all but the most demanding headphones.
Case is cool, the front dust filter isnt very good though
>>54117515
>>54117253
Ok
Ok
How would you run that cable?
Preparation for a smaller case
Why?
Because it's not a full tower?
well i ordered a 5TB HDD last night when i was drunk...
It was on sale though.
>>54115349
Dude get an IcyDock seriously you should cool those hard drives.
Or equivalent I mean Vibration and Heat are the biggest hard drive killers.
>>54117487
it was £120 and almost the same performance as the 380
>>54117544
No it's just not very fun to build with, or manage
>>54117500
Oh ok cause I was thinking about getting them for my DT990 pros
As of now my audio setup is a little autistic
>>54117609
That's fair.
I like building in it, and think the challenge cable management in it presents is fun.
>>54117583
I really don't see the point, the vibrations are taken care of by the tape and temperatures are fine.
I was looking for an existing solution before I made one from legos. I just needed something for 5+ HDDs with direct SATA and PSU connections, but those things are stupidly expensive and hard to find.
>>54117623
Yeah, they are more than fine for DT990 pros, you'd probably damage the headphones or your ears by putting full power through them with that amp even.
>>54117663
I think it makes my ass sweat and my fingers numb
I have big hands and despite being mid skeletal mode I still can't fit my hands in computers very well
>>54117681
Do you think the sound is warm? I have a small tube amp as of now and I really enjoyed the sound it gave me. The problem is it's cheap and can't drive shit but still sounds good.
>>54117664
IcyDock Crap comes with their own powersupply/eSata and prices average about $50
>>54117761
You can upgrade to the Schiit Vali if you really like the tube sound, I personally abhor it, give me analytical clean Solid state over a tube sound any and everyday of the week.
>>54117786
>Schiit Vali
>350 burger bucks
I now like solid state sound better
>>54117821
Damn, it's only $170 here. vs $100 for the Magni.
>>54117780
Something like the FlexCage MB975SP-B goes for around 130 euros here
>>54117846
Oh I was looking at the valhalla
I think I'll just ditch tubes anyway, I don't like space heaters on my desk
>>54117864
Try this
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_sop=15&_nkw=FlexCage+MB975SP-B&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1
>>54117887
Hmmm, 90 dollars. Not too bad, I'll think about it. Thanks
>>54117917
Try using filters next time and setting the price to lowest first and buy it now.
It's just a matter of propper search terms and filtering there is always one or 2 assholes underselling stuff if you know how to search it.
>>54117870
Yeah, I personally don't find the warmth to be beneficial, but even if i did, almost double the cost seems a bit silly, especially when it provides LESS power than the Magni.
>>54116179
what's wrong with M-ATX ? Whats the point in buying full size unless you are gonna be a wasteman and put 4 gpu's in there. Otherwise you end up with an empty ass rig like this guy's >>54116869
>>54117331
lol so ghetto, did you even fit a power switch or is it "turn on with a screwdriver" style ?
>>54117972
>his motherboard doesn't have a power switch on it.
Thought this was a standard feature by now.
>>54117981
nah man, im rockin a b85 board :D
>>54117515
24pin needs a cable comb fampai
>>54118002
I know but i cant buy ones here, except 15e metal ones
>>54117954
I bought the mobo cpu and RAM together. bought the huge case for water cooking this summer.
>>54118027
Got any friends with a 3D printer? The CAD files are online for free.
>>54118114
is it really that hard to separate wires with your fingers ?
>>54118320
....are you retarded?
cable combs are for keeping your cabling straight and orderly.
see examples
>>54116869
>>54117566
Now compare those two 24 pin power cables with this one
>>54117515
Do you see the difference? Obviously you can separate cables individually by hand. The point of cable combs is to keep them that way forever.
>>54118355
man there are some real elitist shitstabbers here lol. For your information sir, i don't spend that much time on 4-chan and am therefore unaware of most of the obscure things that relate to pc building, least of all, an afro comb for ATX cables..... God forbid anyone ever question you again about cable combs
>>54118448
The problem is if you had actually read the thread you'd have probably already figured most of this out for yourself. You only got called a retard because you came in acting like one.
>>54116869
Any upgrade plan for the summer?
How long do you think keeping the 2500k ?
>>54118466
there was a problem ? dunno man this definitely seems like a you thing.
You are by this logic, a retard, because you don't know about the inner workings of a laser interferometer. Thats basic stuff you fucking mongoloid..........
>>54118559
>because you don't know about the inner workings of a laser interferometer
I do know about that stuff though, especially with the discovery of gravitational waves just a few months ago. Everyone should have at least a basic understanding.
>>54118573
ok youtube time, your mum, fuck a goat, get off 4-chan you basement dweller, accept that your opinions are worth shit, go get laid, learn how to argue, and now i shall show you how to ignore a cunt, like a boss. I dare you not to reply
>>54118484
summer is a custom loop, getting nice shiny EK parts. I'm waiting on x109 or something like that, mostly for faster storage options, such as NVME. Otherwise, the 2500k is still doing wonderful and I have no complaints. I'm gonna try to get 5.0ghz on water. If Polaris kicks ass, I may get a 490/x

i dont know what that means, yes ? im new here, and throwing shit at the walls
>>54120616
have some fine content from the reputable and truly humorous website known as reddit, you love this stuff right ?
>>54120631
subtle troll is quite subtle
Want to upgrade, but really nothing to upgrade to. A second 980ti classy wouldn't benefit me as my current one gives 60+ fps in cawadooty and Das3. My i5 is clocked to 4.6ghz and runs nice and cool/quiet so even a new cooler would be a waste. Case is fine. Only thing I can think of is another ssd. M.2. But now I hear they run hot. So thinking of maybe a pcie Intel ssd?
>>54120671
intel ssd also hot, think EK make a waterblock for the 750 series
>>54120671
upgrade something else. Headphones, Mic, Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor
>>54120697
Just because you can get a waterblock for it doesnt mean its hot.
EK also makes/ made a waterblock specifically for the 750ti.
>>54120671
>60fps
On what res?
>>54117456
my microATX with a ATX mid tower, 500B, brother
>>54121903
>>60fps
>On what res?
Single 32" 2560x1440p. Only game that drops it into the 45ish range is Fallout 4 with fully maxed out everything. Most games I turn the AA down to x4 rather than x8.
The card doesn't even go into full boost when playing Das3.
>>54120811
That is good too. Just bought a new Corsair M65 mouse. My headset is the Steel series H wireless. Dedicated receiver, dual lithium ion batteries etc.
Keyboard is a cooler master quickfire TK that is still kicking.
>>54122083
Surely you can run your CPU power cable better than that
SURELY
>>54122192
Ultrawide's aren't memes, get one
144hz isn't a meme
>>54122218
I CANNOT under good conscience
The damn cable isn't long enough to put through the backside of the case and moving it farther left doesn't really do much except strain the pins
>>54122334
:'(
You could get a sleeved extension for it.
>>54122083
that's miniITX
>>54115349
what's the raspi for?
>>54122385
No it's not. MITX has a single expansion slot, that board quite clearly extends below the graphics card.
>>54117331
nice desk lmao
>>54120671
Get a nicer case
Yes mom, I need a full tower because of reasons
Dual 1440p or triple 1080p?
>>54122497
dont be a pussy and get triple 1440p
>>54122497
For what purpose? 2x 2560x1440 would be best in most cases, except for gaming of course.
>>54122376
Hmm I'll look into this, Satan. Thanks for the tip.
>>54122083
>>54122218
>>54122334
If you mounted your PSU correctly you would have plenty of slack to run it behind the mobo
PSU needs to intake cold air from outside the case, not exhaust hot air from inside it.
>>54122426
Torrentclient with VPN
>>54122827
Its not sucking up exhaust air though. I have two front fans pushing in cold air to feed the gpu and psu. Not sure how else you would mount it without doing some major modifications to the case.
>>54124088
It is taking air from your case, pushing it over your PSU internals and out the back.
Flip it over so the fan you see on top is on the bottom. Your case will have ventalation/mesh/etc there so your PSU fan will intake air from outside the case
I hope this is flipped the right way.
>>54125703
It's a case so the best way to flip it is out the window.
>>54125703
what case is that?
>>54125781
NZXT S340. Probably the best ATX case you can get at the price.
>>54124716
All is well
The only bad thing is that the bottom gets air through spacers so it's Dustville down there. I may buy some filters to try and help that.
>>54125703
>strix
>>54126659
Looks cute. What case?
>>54126843
Cooler Master Silencio 352. The cable management is terrible, but I can't see into my case when it's running anyway so that's fine with me.
>>54126963
Looks like a solid budget build. I would've gone with a lower-wattage PSU but apart from that you've done alright.
>>54122827
>hot exhaust air
It's probably 2c-5c warmer than ambient. PSU orientation does not matter.
still no cable combs
>>54128125
dam. What the fuck is up with that gargantuan cpu cooler? You OCing to 5Ghz?
>>54128125
and nigger-tier cheapo build i did for my friend
>he picked a windowed case to go with his puke colored motherboard and grey power supply

Will you upgrade the Gpu this summer?
How satisfied are you with the 970 ?
>>54131317
At 1080p, I have not encountered a single issue. I have no reason to upgrade.

Don't post that in /hpg/ or someone will have an aneurysm.
Still need to do a couple of things before I'm satisfied.

How much do you think water cooling would cost
I'm considering proper watercooling. It would be an extremely tight fit though.
>>54134600
I should probably not be autistic and specify
I want both 980tis water cooled along with my processor. Most likely hard tubing and two radiators. I haven't decided yet on fluid, I might either get white fluid with clear tubes or black tubes and use distilled water filtered through nanofibers.
>>54134669
~$700 total depends on specifics.
>>54134854
I'm planning on jewing out and going EK
I want a full block
I can't justify buying a video card.
>>54134925
Well EK doesn't make a WB for your motherboard mosfets or anything like that. But CPU block, two 980Tis, and RAM would set you back ~$400 just for blocks. Add in some radiators, pumps, fittings, etc. You're looking at easily $600+
>>54135139
Oh I wasn't going to water my ram or mosfets on my motherboard as they never go above 40C
The sensors are broken but I have managed to get accurate readings with my IR reader
>>54135194
in either case you're looking at over $500, under $800, depending on fans, fittings, tubing, pumps etc.
>>54135385
I am usually told that water cooling costs 300 burger bucks. I could have just been misinformed by budget builders. Money isn't an issue really but I would like not spend too much you know
>>54135061
Not even a cheapo 750ti or AMD equivalent, they don't really cost too much.
>>54135881
Well 980Ti blocks are about $100-125. each. CPU block is ~$75-100. Fans depending on what you get can be $5-20 each. Or more if you get RGB LED fans. Radiators are around $60-70 for a single 240mm. Pump is another ~$120. Hard tubing will run you probably ~$20-40 depending on lengths you need.
For CPU and dual GPU i'd recommend going for a dual loop, or at least dual radiators in a single loop.
So yeah, around $600
>>54135061
buy a 2nd hand 7000 GPU if you need a GPU, they're £50
if you don't need a GPU don't get one
I took apart my old tower the other day, got a GeForce 6100PM motherboard, a Radeon 4650 graphics card and an i3 processor. I was thinking about putting it in a smaller case to have as a portable tower for uni but I can't find any small cases that fit the motherboard. Is it worth doing anything with these parts or should i just throw them out?
>>54136526
>6100PM motherboard
(amd)
>i3 processor
(intel)
it can't be both faggot.
>>54136675
desu im not sure what the processor is but I thought it was some sort of i3. Don't want to take the cooler off it again though cos messing around with taking off thermal paste is a pain
>>54136806
You can find out your processor by going into "computer"
"system properties"
>>54134669
Just watch some youtube videos on it
>>54129627

>>54117515
is that a molex under the CPU ?
>>54115349
what ethernet adapter is that? It's so tiny
>>54139069
Looks like it, some boards have them for additional power instead of 4/8 pin connectors.
>>54139408
>>54139069
its for Molex Fans
>>54139413
Are you the owner? I'm calling bullshit, not only have I never seen that feature before it's also the wrong connector (it's for power input, not output).
>>54139501
its not mine but I've used MoBos with Molex Fan ports on them
>>54139522
I've only been able to find one board with such a feature, an Intel socket 775 one from 2004. I'm sure more exist but you won't find any with it these days and that anon certainly isn't using anything that old.
My media server. Currently in the middle of reinstalling Windows 7. Turns out my install initially was corrupted because windows 7 doesn't like using new USB 3.0 drives as a boot source.
Used the MS Windows USB tool and made one of my old USB 2.0 16gb sticks a boot drive and now it's installing. Really weird.
Sorry for spaghetti. Really no way to take a a decent pic and the case is rather small for the amount of hard drives I have in there.
>>54139413
>>54139522
>>54139809
The molex is to provide supplemental power to the pcie slots. That is primarily meant for people running 3-4 gpus. It is not so common no a days, but it still exists. It's to help take some stress of the motherboard having to provide power to 3 or 4 power hungry pcie devices and keep the board from burning out.
The Asus 990fx ROG board had one and I was also curious what it did. Google told me. Not necessary at all for a single, or even dual GPUs.
