Guts thread
>>54170571
6/10, do you enjoy getting off starting guts threads with such shitty guts?
>>54170848
yes. greatly so. It's even better when the first post is complaining about my shitty guts.
>>54170919
I figured as much, hence the question.
So much of that could be cleaned up with very minimal work, you MUST do it to annoy people.
Keep at it.
>>54170571
Holy hell these Tongas get bottlenecked by Piledriver so badly, because of the low memory bandwidth.
Also, why that terrible motherboard, which give no room to overclock because of bad VRM configuration?
>>54170952
>cleaned up with very minimal work
actually no. The CD drive overhangs the MoBo cable hole, so the mobo cable has to go there. The CD drive is also stuck inside the case, so the IDE is also needed. Not much I can do
>>54171019
Some cable ties could at least help that wire mess tucked under the CD drive.
Also upgrading to SATA would help a great deal and is super simple. It's not like it's a bluray drive, a SATA DVD drive is $18. Take a hammer and knock that shitty IDE fucker out.
Or better yet, get a non-zalman case and thank me later.
>>54171072
Mate I've tried everything to clean it up. I have a SATA drive but I can't be fucked to put it in
>>54171072
Oh yeah, so very simple, you only need to buy new hardware.
Those '18$ SATA DVD drives' have absolutely shitty lasers, dying in few months: i've had eight Samsung and LG cheapo drivers die in that timeframe, while my old noname IDE burned still works perfectly after 14 years of use and thousands of burns.
>>54171081
Don't let him get to you, for what you're working with your guts like fine.
Though I'd recommend a new case when you upgrade motherboard/CPU because that zalman case doesn't look very nice to work with at all.
>>54170571
>>54171107
Why all these (expensive) X99 boards have shitty VRM configurations and tiny heatsinks on them, when those Haswell-E chips eat power like crazy? (my 5820k@stock eat more wattages than my [email protected]).
>>54170571
new pic for new fan, but the pic doesn't look new.
>$CURRENT_YEAR
>He doesn't have a full tower
>>54171153
Considering i've gotten my 5820k stable up to 4.5Ghz and RAM up to 3300Mhz, i'd say it's fine.
You might think its shitty design or configuration, but you're also not the one designing the board, if it were not a good configuration, they wouldn't have used it. The board OCs well, what more can you ask for?
If it needed a better VRM heatsink, it'd have one.
>>54171189
>OCZ PSU
my nigga.
The bottom card is in my secondary PC now and I already got new ram :3
>>54171269
>If it needed a better VRM heatsink, it'd have one.
You're kidding me.
And your VRM temps?
>>54171322
And i mean after two hours of small FFT test with prime (with all six cores of course).
>>54171353
Well without an IR thermometer it would be pointless as I have no way to take an accurate measurement for you.
>>54171395
There is no VRM temperature sensor on that board? They usually give fairly accurate temps on these X99 boards. Probably ITH87* sensor.
>>54171310
Hows the performance
>>54171444
I've got
SYSTIN
CPUTIN
&
TMPIN3
I assume it's TMPIN3, but I can't confirm. If that IS the VRM temp sensor, then I've seen it max around 65c in prime95 stability testing. Though rarely does it go over 55c outside of stress testing.
Fresh built. Probably going to have to make some braided cables soon.
>>54171353
>i mean after two hours of small FFT test with prime (with all six cores of course).
Well i wont give you two hours, but after ~20 minutes we're up to 51-54c on the cores and 58c on the VRMs.
>>54171528
Those labels can be different even in same motherboards, so yes, it might hard to say which is which.
>max around 65c in prime95 stability testing
That is decent temp with [email protected], but after how long? The VRM temp usually rises slowly, but surely.
Then again, for long term reliability i would not go much over those temps.
Either way, its just nasty that boards that start from 200$ cant have few more grams of aluminium to make chipset heatsinks larger and thus having better heat dissipation.
>>54171674
see
>>54171672
My long term 24/7 OC is 4Ghz anyway. Not like i'm running this thing at 4.5Ghz all day every day, I just have stability tested it up to that degree.
>>54171523
Not that guy, but performance can't be great.
>DDR1-era dual core Opterons
At best it would perform like a first-gen Core 2 Quad.
I saw a nice "coffee themed" build here, just a few months ago, with noctuas, brown sleeving, brown(prolly sabertooth) mb. Does anyone have a picture of it?
Similar to this one, but smaller, iirc. Probably matx.
>>54172575
>44c on the HDD
anything over 40c is not optimal, anything approaching 50c is going to shorten the lifespan of the drive. Make sure you have proper airflow.
sorry for shit hoto. Also cpu is @4.2 idk why OC doesn't show in overview.
>>54172656
Speccy never shows proper OC, it also doesn't show DDR4 RAM and occasionally wont read temps correctly on certain CPUs
I still stick by my comment on your HDD temps, make sure it doesn't stay over 45c regularly.
>>54172693
Poshel nahui.
>>54172684
Thanks I'll look into it. probably just dust. pic is old. speccy was done 5 min ago.

>>54172656
>idk why OC doesn't show in overview.
Because it isn't that it doesn't show "proper OC" like >>54172684 said, it just doesn't show clock speeds on the overview at all.
The "@ 3.50GHz" you see on the overview is actually a part of the full product name of the CPU, since Intel likes to note their base clocks in the names for god knows what reason.
Same reason why clock speeds don't show up with AMD CPU's or Core 2 and earlier Intel CPU's: >>54171310 >>54170571

Still have to decide on what color psu extensions to get also probably a whole new psu anyways.
>>54174203
both would look good obviously!
but you could have moar white in your build!
lots of black already!
>>54174410
Thinking of getting the silver stone white extensions.

>extensions
No! Bad anon! Get a cable set. Extensions were only acceptable before full sets were easily available. In a SFF case, that much extra cable length is not a good thing anyways.
>>54179359
I think im going to have get a new psu. I have like a 5+ year old ocz fatal1ty psu at the moment thinking about 750 or 650 watt EVGA G2.
>>54179378
ITX is best
>>54179517
Well yeah i wish i could go it with that same exact case you have or a core 500
>>54170993
the PC cost £300 in total. Ultra budget
Should i go with an AiO or a beefy air cooler? I've been thinking about a 280mm or 360mm or a 3x140mm AiO (if those even exist) in the front but liquid has way more risks. Also r8 perhaps?
Anyone have any experience with pic related?
been thinking of downsizing to mATX, and the whole dual system gimmick seems neat too.
Rate guts
I'm changing psu to something usefull soon
>>54182296

Was thinking more of like a GPU upgrade?
Also maybe another hard drive since I'm too poor to jump on ssd
Waiting for the new PSU.
>>54172906
I see you have a snek infestation.
Any reason why top and rear fans are always different? Wouldn't people want them to be exhaust?
>>54186946
What are you talking about anon? Top and rear are exhaust.
>>54186970
Yeah, that's what I'm saying but I've seen people in guts thread where it looks like it's intake.
>rom dev decides to change root to systemless without prior notice
>lose all data
>>54171574
Hows the gpu temps?
>>54187022
Then point to that specific post, the vast majority in here are exhaust. You were acting like everyone was doing it. which isn't the case.
>>54179517
What case? Nano S?
>>54187022
>>54186946
air pressure
>>54187163
its like 45/75 idle/load could let it go higher if I let the fans spin up more
Im looking for an itx case with great gpu cooling, I have a fractal core 500 at the moment
>>54187487
>great GPU cooling
It's called liquid cooling.
So i just finished first build yesterday but to install the 212 evo i had to put much force on the cpu and socket (1151) and i was worried something was going wrong.. also a bit of the thermal paste came out but i cleaned it and didnt go on the motherboard in any way.. is everything okay as for now or only the time will tell me?

>>54188825
Son, you built something that can never be upgraded, AM4 comes out later this year, that motherboard is from 2012, buying AM3+ in 2016 is just shooting yourself in the foot.
You're better off getting a cheap intel, because at least you can put a higher end CPU in there in 3-4 years when you need to upgrade.
With this when you need to upgrade you will have to buy EVERYTHING new again, and since that CPU is 3 and a half to 4 years old already, you will probably be needing an upgrade within 2 years.
So many anons using fucking cable ties.
Don't fall for it. They are an absolute arse to cut when you need to replace a component or upgrade. There are better options out there OR atleast don't do them up fully so you can cut them in the future
>>54189290
What do you suggest then?
>>54189044
I have no idea why that's upside-down.
>>54189290
I have them a bit loose, not much but still.
>>54188310

>>54173139
I used to have an Asus GTX 560 too. Got it to bench at 1000MHz.
>>54192867
My only wish is that is had just one more input, but for the price I paid, I can't complain.
>>54192916
Yeah, that's it. You'll probably get one that has back-light bleeding if you buy one, but a hammer on the inner frame will fix it.
>>54192916
I prefer the one for $100 more with the tiny ass bezel and the samsung panel.
It also has display port.
>>54193003
>>54192985
I'm reading about that right now, and it says that maybe they come with dead pixels. I'm kinda lost and all I want is a good 2K monitor.
>>54193023
As far as I know, they aren't common. My didn't come with any, at least.
>>54193023
I got two 25" 2k Asus pb258q.
No problems with them what so ever, paid $265 each. I think they go for more than that regularly though.
>>54192916
>i can't find nothing about korean, but is that the monitor?
yes
>>54193003
the one with the display port has a scaler and INPUT LAG. DVI only model is the best one as it has no scaler input lag
>>54192985
>Yeah, that's it. You'll probably get one that has back-light bleeding if you buy one, but a hammer on the inner frame will fix it.
I got one that was "pixel perfect" I indeed have no dead pixels, but also no backlight bleed.
There appears to be some blemish on the backlight that is only visible when displaying a solid monotone gray color. Got mine off eBay
