You are posting this fucked up rotated image the second or the third time. Just how retarded are you?
>>55040212
Hey he built that computer, no one ever told him he had to learn how to rotate images with it.
Thinking I'm going to switch to the Cerberus by Kimera Industries. It's only 1 liter larger than the NCase, but supports mATX and I can fit an extra radiator in there.
>>55038610

>>55040159
There nothing wrong with it, but floating HDD cages bother me. lol
>>55041087
>Cerberus by Kimera Industries. It's only 1 liter larger than the NCase
It's 18.2L, that's 5.6L larger, or about 45% larger.
>>55041208
I must've misread about the NCase size somewhere.
Either way, I believe it's still roughly the size of something like the Phanteks Evolv ITX or smaller than the NZXT Manta, with great build quality. Might be a worth-while upgrade.
I think this photo is an early rendition/production demo of the case.
>>55041319
Yeah, that's the Nova, which was slightly smaller (~17L, IIRC).
The Evolv ITX is quite a bit bigger (34L), and close to the Prodigy with the handles (36L). The Prodigy excluding the handles is only 26L though.
The Manta is absolute massive by comparison, at 47L.
>>55041087
The HDD cage is "floating" because I didn't want to obstruct the airflow
>>55041381
Yeah. I looked into a few other mATX cases, but I can't find any with the following criteria:
>At least one 3.5" HDD bay
>One, or two, 2.5" bays
>Support for 2x 240mm radiators
>A nice windows, and pretty good build quality.
>As small as possible while doing so.
Some cases say they support 2x 240mm radiators, but they don't really do it well enough to make it actually happen it seems.
>>55039244
>having this shitty cable management in a Phanteks case
No fucking excuse
Slob
Thermaltake Core V21, so I named mine Ttammy because Tt = Thermaltake
>fucking genious
>>55041417
I don't believe it's possible to install a 3.5" HDD in the Cerberus at the same time as two 240mm rads. Also the PSU location will block much of the motherboard from view, making a window a bit pointless.
>>55041824
I was going to use a rear, externally mounter pump/reservoir combo on where the PSU bracket is in this image. In place of where the pump and reservoir is, is where the SFX PSU would go. Then, I planned to use their 3.5" bracket on the side-mounts with the hinge.
>>55041898
>>55041824
But apparently the funding campaign failed anyways, so, it won't happen.
>>55041898
So the PSU would be attached directly to the front rad, using the airflow from its fan? Reminds me of pic related. There's not a lot of ahead of the motherboard in the Cerberus, but I suppose it could work if you decased the PSU to reduce the total rad+fan+PSU thickness.
>>55041919
Supposedly they're working with their manufacturer to make it available on a limited basis.
Ok /g/uts, im feeling Blue but in a good way. What do you think of my shitposting machine build?
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/YpJgsJ
This will be a long term project, as i am broke as shit due to the wonderful 320$ a week paychecks.
I think first im going to buy the motherboard, so im locked in with the processor, then the processor and ram, then case and PSU, finally ill get GPU, hard drive, and acessories like the fan and a proper cooler, etc.
Im looking for blue stuff, blue fans, blue SSD's, whatever's blue, no LED's, i just want it to look blue when i open it up, not be emanating blue all over the place

>>55042536
a bit of explaination behind this build, ive never owned a nice computer in my life, ive always had refurbs, thinkpads, a chromebook, old desktops, etc
my nicest computer was a dell latitude with an i3 and 8gb of slow ram, i want something thats
1) made of only new components
2) looks pretty
3) works better than anything else ive owned
And a pentium + 750ti is the best way i can think of doing that
>>55038610
I wanted to come up with a cool name for my computer as I am a retard but I couldn't think of anything, since it's black I've just resorted to calling it nigger. It's named nigger on our network as well so that should bode well with IT.
>>55043589
I just called mine (my name)'s PC on the network, and refer to it as "my computer", because I'm not autistic
my mates call it smurf
>>55043292
wait before getting a GPU. 480X comes out, even if you don't want it it will kill the prices of the 750ti, 950, 280, 390, 970
>>55043622
Post pics I wanna see smurf
>>55043922
I'm OP
>>55038610
It's broken anyway so i'm refunding it to get a 4670 and some generic Gigabyte Board. Right now its a 3570k and a z77 d3h
I'm actually seriously considering putting my 650Ti in this thing instead of the 6970.
gonna upgrade my shitposting machine, pic related
next paycheck comes a psu, new processor and HDD, undecided on these
thinking any evga 500w psu, possibly a small WD hdd + small SSD for manjaro, as far a processor goes im honestly thinking new celeron or older i3
so 3 questions,
>reccomendations for an 8-16gb SSD
>celery or i3?
>what the fuck is a hybrid hdd, is it like partially SSD or what?
>>55044770
Why not an i5?
>>55043589
beautiful
mines a work in progress
Let's talk thermal dynamics.....
If I have a video card that intakes directly from outside air, say like the RVZ01 case, would it benefit any of I had two fans blowing directly into it?
>>55045235
dont need an i5 for shitposting
hell, a pentium 4 would be good enough
>>55045986
Draw a picture
>>55045696
Noice cable management I like the braid
>>55046115
Well literally take a look at the SIlverstone RVZ01--right next to the video card, two vents can double as fan mounts. But since the card is right next to said vents, would there be an advantage to actually putting fans there?
I guess this could be right thread to ask:
Whats the actual difference between Z170 and Z170A motheboards? I mean, I kinda plan to buy new PC around late July, already setting up my mind on i7-6700K and RX480, but I was wondering about motherboard and if I can save some money on other parts.
Also, assuming that I wont overlock, what PSU I need at least? Would 500W one be enough?
Too lazy to take a new picture with cable combs.
>>55046000
Oh well, i guess pentium 4 is good for shitposting, but not for viewing webm's and youtube so i guess that gpu will come in handy.
Any brits in this thread
what's the best priced lga 1150 board? I'd need 4 ram slots, 6 sata ports and preferably X-fire capabilities. I'm looking at the PC-MATE Z97 and the Z97-D3H right now, that's about my budget
>>55044770
>biostar
Realized I have no need for the fan hub when I can just use all three on-board headers, so I took that out and picked up another SSD. New pic coming tomorrow.
>>55047286
it'll work well enough
even if the lifespan is 1 year its 40$, ill buy another one
>>55038610
1080 this weekend lads. Wonder if anyone will still buy a 780.
question
are there any mATX cases that have 6+ ssd slots?
I know that they are small enough that I can pretty much just duct tape them inside the case, but I'd rather have them sitting in a ventilated drive bay. I'm planning to switch over to ssd only storage once GB/$ matches HDDs.

are water cooled tubes suppose to be this huge?
Also, do you guys not have like a million things to plug into the USB?
Cause I would really want to get a nice small cozy case but I have like 12 usb plugged in right now into my full atx case.
I also refuse to use a usb hub cause it's stupid and looks bad
>>55052109
What could you possibly need 12 ports for? I have a mouse, keyboard, keyboard hub. Thats it really. And a potential 3.0 Flash Drive for the front.
I also have 4 3.0 ports in each of my monitors if needed and 5 regulalry empty ports on my motherboard.
>>55052221
keyboard
mouse
speaker
phone cable for charging

idk mate, I feel like I am plugging in way too many shit and it's messing the simplicity of a PC, but at the same time I can't bring myself to unplug them cause i might need them immediately after like the ext hdds
Want to get a New pump / Hard tubing.
Also r8 pls
>>55052692
Just so you're aware, you're not utilizing your radiator to its full potential.
>>55052822
oh shit. thanks m8.
its my first loop and i never heard something about that
>>55052888
No biggie, shawty.
>>55052692
You didnt just buy a 1200w power supply, you bought one of the worst 1200w power supplies from that time period.
Johnny Guru review of it basically showed it didnt meet 80+ gold spec like they claim and the internal build quality was pretty garbage.
I hope you didn't pay retail for that piece of shit. I'm pretty sure they were asking ~$280 back in the day when it was new, which was a complete rip off.
Don't hate too much, what can I do to improve it? Going to be adding an exhaust fan and probably white or red leds
>>55053037
nah. got it for 80 euros in a sale last winter
>>55040159
Hey /g/ I have a question.
Is there going to be improvement in the airflow and the GPU temperature if I add intake fan next to the PSU
>>55053056
yeah for that price its fine, though honestly I doubt you've ever used more than ~600w with that setup you're running.
>>55050174
Legit choice.
>>55053059
if you want to place only 1 fan there : no
you shold get more fans in the front of your case and get a new heatsink for you cpu. something like noctua nhd 15 (2fans for more airflow)
>>55053044
Start by removing the sticker.
>>55053044
you shuld get a custom loop if you have a nice case for that
>>55053044
I don't have the money for it though ha

I really don't need better cooler. The CPu is Xeon e3-1231v3 and it is running relatively cool (mid 60s)
The thing is that the case(define r5) have fan controller for three fans

>>55057416
He's got the tubing connected to what looks like a fill/drain port at one end of the radiator, so the coolant is not flowing through half the rad.
>>55057143
>5930k

why did you buy the 5930k...?
The 5820k is the same CPU for $200 less as long as you dont run 3 GPUs or a HUGE number of PCIe devices. Which you're not, you have a single GPU.
It begins.
>>55057401
Not much, just buy whatever motherboard has what you need. It's that simple.
Some people might want specific connectors, or need USB 3.1, or different audio, SLI, USB type C..All small differences to fit different needs
>>55038610
>>55057573
I just wanted to know, if "A" have some features I might missed, since it cost more.
The only thing about motherobard Im interested in is, aside from at least one USB 3.0 (my docking station for harddrives use it, right now I connect it via adapter to 2.0, since my current mobo dont have one) is this Auto-Tune function I heard about. Im too afraid to overclock manually, but if motherboard itself would do some safe gains for me, I would be pretty happy.
Also, I still dont know about PSU, to be more precise - how powerful I really need. Those listed at logicalincrements (Seasonic) are pretty expensive where I live. Also, would I really need those 600W ones or 500W are fine too?
>>55057474
Ohhhh, I just figured it had a port on each end, didn't think he was cutting it in half basically. That seems like it would cause noticeable problems.

I said before that I was looking at logical increments, but Im not sure about certain parts. I mentioned how some parts, especailly PSU, are MUCH more expensive where I live, so I wanted to know, if I can simply get cheapter 500W PSU instead of 650W one from same tier as CPU Im about to get (i7-6700K). Cases listed are not even shipped here.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/
Pc Part Picker has a wattage function, pick out all the parts you want, fans drives, ram, cpu, gpu. It will tell you how many watts it should draw, and then you can figure out what size PSU to get.
Regarding your Overclock worries, I have the 6600K and was a little nervous and was only using my MBs built in OC feature that OC'd it from 3.5 to 4.1, then realized it has auto voltage mode, so all I had to do was increase core clock multiplier and it would automatically adjust the voltage as needed, super easy.
