Why is gaymen hardware so pathetic?
>>55169898
Well the "Classified" cards themselves just overclock better then reference. I personally prefer the reference models since they vent all the heat out of the case. But I am borrowing this card from a friend since he upgraded to a 1080 and I want to wait for the 1080Ti.
>>55169047
Here's my guts, they arrived just now. Building starts tomorrow after work.
i5 coming in. I like the first two above me. On mobile and tagging is a nuisance. I've been meaning to take new pics. Got white sata cables, and combs put in. Also sprayed the pci covers and heatsinks on the mobo white.

>>55174295
Well, I bought like 3 120gig ssds because they were so dirt cheap.
I use them for editing and rendering softwares, games.
So if what you're working with doesn't need much space, you're good.
SSDs are not meant for storage anyway.
>>55174350
80dpi isn't something to be jealous of.
>>55174423
>hurr durr muh DPI
Gaming on a sub-144hz panel is not gaming, despite what you've been lead to believe size DOES matter.
You'll find that out if you ever get close to getting laid senpai :^)
>>55174460
I like big cocks fempai. Size does matter.
>>55174475
>>55174460
80dpi is still hideous.
>>55174489
Maybe to someone, but I've handled enough 15" 4k panels, 13" fullHD panels and 27" 4k "gaming displays" at work to be comfy with what I bought. The 4k version of this Predator had way more problems, was more expensive and unavailable at the time.
I've been looking at a 23.6" 120hz Acer TN panel for the past 5 years, from that this was a huge leap in quality and speed :)
Picked up 2 Shilltips edition poo fans on impulse when I was at NCIX a while ago.
>>55173896
It is the L9I. Incredibly easy to install, not meant for overclocking fyi so if you plan to I'd go with the EVO.
>>55174460
>>Gaming on a sub-144hz panel is not gaming
And you're not a professional e-""sports"" gamer either. In fact, I reckon you're fucking awful at games. Pro players play fine at 120Hz and 144Hz.

Why the different fans? How do they differ. Why would x be better for CPU cooling than y. And why not just use the one you have on the heatsink as a case Fan too
>>55174973
Piss off, I've been with CS for 16 years and I'm an FPS god, my reaction speed is out of this world which is why I opted for HZ over DPI.
In fact some of the best FPS players in the world use smaller-than-native res when playing.
Just stop whining and being mad already and get yourself something nice.
>>55174358
Should be fine then, not planning on storing much on there for now apart from os and a few games.
>>55175038

We appreciate your stay, summerfag, even though it might be a short one.
I would like to use my Nano, which i got for 250€, but i won't because
1) the fan is loud as hell,
2) the peformance with amdgpu kernel driver+xorg amdgpu driver+latest mesa is horrible at best (but dx8/9/10/10.1/11 performance on windy is great) and because of the
3) horrible whining caused by the inductors (of which model is probably the exact same as on GTX980, which squaels too like a pig).
So, good luck to you OP.
So, i see there is some LCD vs. CRT debate on this thread yet again.
Any shitty old CRT - even at 60Hz refresh rate - have 100 times better motion quality than the latest LCD at 20000Hz refresh rate, using sample and hold (no, black frame insertion doesnt make a huge difference, at least not the current implentations).
Any shitty old CRT might not have better black levels than the VA-panel offering best black levels the tech has to offer, but any decent PC CRT monitor definitely does (for example Eizo T960 or pretty much any monitor with early new millenia Sony AG tube).
>>55175821

>>55173151
At least the *X79 Pro has screwed VRM heatsinks, unlike the P8P67 Deluxe.
Should have put together one X79+SB-E set instead of two P67/Z68+SB 2500k/2600K sets or maybe i should have not, because there isnt any major performance difference, except with the 6 or 8 Core Sandy-E's.
>>55176142
>Enjoy your migraines.
That is funny, because the first time i have received massive headache from a computer (thus including non-IBM PC systems) monitor, was from LED edgelit LCD using PWM at low frequency to dim the back..er edgelight.
Most of my CRT displays have been using the extremely slow sync-to-black method, that is used on almost all Sony CRT PVM and BWM monitors, which incidentally also gives the best motion quality as well.
>>55176237
Weird, must be something wrong with your head.
I moved from a triple CRT setup (one of those 21" good ones was my main) to a TN+film Eizo back in the day and it was the shit, even though stupid slow.
Going to 120hz changed my game forever, even though it was first gen shit tier.

And GTX750ti already gives enough juice to run Doom 3 with 3rd party large textures @2560x1600 with 2xFSAA and Darkplaces (Quake source port) with extra large texture as well at the same resolution, never dipping below 60fps. And again, same goes for UT99, UT2004 and Mount&Blade, because what else decent, slightly modern games there are on linux (with gnu userland) or bsd?
>>55176435
the 5820k doesnt have an integrated GPU, the GTX 960 also is one of the few GPUs with HDMI 2.0(meaning HDCP 2.2 to allow for UHD DRM content playback) output and x265 encoding/decoding.

You'll encounter coil whine with plenty of GPUs the Nano's is typically pretty awful. Not sure if it's just my low standards bu perhaps I only hear it when its past 75%. I had encountered problems with a full size gpu heating up my ssds which is why I went with it. Allowed me enough room to jam some case fans in there and keep my temps for both the gpu and ssds nice and cozy. Not gonna say its perfect but she definitely gets the job done. Had to leave my home in a hurry once and she was portable and kept me occupied away from home.
>>55176523

>>55176526
>You'll encounter coil whine with plenty of GPUs the Nano's is typically pretty awful.
When the 'coil whine' is coming from some component on the gpu pcb, its the inductors. On GTX980, its the r22 inductor and i have not checked, but i bet its the exact same inductor on offending AMD cards as well.
The real coil whine comes from the psu, of which every Seasonic psu i have ever owned, have emitted, at least with certain system configurations.
From other more modern cards i have, Asus HD4850 and HD6850 or Sapphire Nitro R9 380 and 390, none whine.
All three Geforce 4 cards and FX5900 i have, whine like there is no tomorrow and they have from the day one. Two 3dfx cards, no whine. Three Maxtors, no whine. Ati 9600, X1600, no whine. So, taking this subjective account in to mind, i was not surprised to find second gen Maxwell gpu's to whine (but again, my 750 and 750ti do not whine).
>>55170412
Correct 1080
Wrong Samsung disk
>>55176704
Interesting, you have waaay more knowledge than I. I had the sapphire r9 390 jammed in there before the nano and perhaps through the size of the case made the 3 fans louder to me than the 1 nanos. I didn't mind it though, the ssd temps were what made me change my set up.
>>55176990
I didnt say the cooling solution of Sapphire's Nitro R9 390 is silent, but at least in my Antec P280, Fractal R2 and Nanoxia DS3 (with the top hdd cage removed) with two NF-P12's@1100RPM doing intake at bottom front and one NF-P12@1100RPM blowing out at back, the R9 390 isnt as loud as the Nano.
But yeah, with that cramped space (well, i dont have that exact case, so talking out of my ass here), its pretty much impossible to arrange good airflow for the gpu.

>>55171394
Ya for PhysX and for one of my monitors cause I have 2 analog and each card only supports one.
>>55173320
in most games with PhysX it boost the frames a little by taking the load off the main card. In some games (so far only Batman Arkham Origins) It butchers the frames because the 650 can't handle the PhysX in that game at all, not sure if its poor optimization or just to many effects and took weak a card. Is the air conditioner comment because of the shape of the case? I haven't been on /g/ for about 2 years so I am out of the loop lol.
>>55175275
I just prefer the RoG boards, didn't wanna shell out for the extreme though since I'll probably only do single card with this build since it sounds like a dual 1080 setup would actually benefit from having the extra PCIe lanes that the X99 boards have. I'll if I ever fell like going crazy with this build I'll probably just swap in a Rampage V and a 6960X and run Dual 1080Tis
>>55177209
It's just the angle of the picture looking at the card level it lines up straight across the bored. I'm pretty ocd about card sag.
>>55177885
Why would I remove the SLI cover? and it isn't actually my card, a friend of mine upgraded to a gtx 1080 so I am using his Classified while I wait for the 1080Ti
>>55170888
Selling the components off individually. It was mostly a piece of shit so I'm not expecting much.
>>55170898
I honestly don't see the advantage to the Pro over the Evo. The extra cost doesn't really justify it for what I want.
>>55173320

>>55174980

>>55178651
Well I'm laid off work right now, although I do have a few grand saved I'm trying not to spend it just in case. Planning on getting an ROG swift (the IPS 1440p) first then getting a new card. I was also planning on putting a little money into my car before buying a card, but if I can actually get the job I want and soon then I'll most likely just buy a 1080 anyways and sell once the Ti is out.
Speaking of monitors I am currently using a 23 inch Asus Pro Art. Thinking about buying an Asus VP279Q-P since it's $80 off and using that as my main until I buy an ROG swift. Not sure how i feel about 27inch 1080p though.

Didn't mean to come off as you did. Sorry. Seems like you've got a really good set up for airflow. Nice.
Pretty much impossible, but luckily with the nano's smaller heat sink than the Nitro 390 I'm able to do the best it can ever do.
>>55175192
I can confirm on the Noctua's low noise.
And for a tiny build they are nice. I have also tried the Cooltek LP53, which I added a Noctua fan to, to keep it low noise. (Other brands might also do it.)

You ain't even got even securely uncased, you just got them laying around with wires hanging off them.
I imagine your room looks like some teenage kid's with clothes strewn about, but instead of clothes you just have small computers running all over the floor
I want to make guts from this. Maybe a hackintosh. I wonder if any small form factor card would fit in this. 750Ti maybe?
>>55179381
What if I told you that the motherboard is now resting safely in a case?
The stock HSF on my fx 8350 is dying. What's the best poorfag cooling solution? Probably going to keep stock clocks. Mid tower.
>>55179581
I'm happy with this.
>>55179645
just get a regular heatsink like the 220 evo .
or at least that style , just a basic heatsink.

hows the noise and temps on the Strix card?
>>55180558
wonderful
my room temp right now is 26.6c (80f) and the card running heaven benchmark in a loop for 40 minutes didn't break 76c.
acoustics wise i cannot hear it over my case fans and my case fans are already quiet as it is. i have to open the door and put my ear right next to the card it to hear the fans. zero coil whine as well.
>>55180643
post some overclocking results when you can, I usually go for the EVGA non reference cards but the Strix is looking pretty good.
>>55180451
There's 2.
>>55180517
So not a summerslut. This is by no means a brag more of a shameful admission but I'm a 28 year old who's been browsing 4chan since 17. Life is suffering.
>>55174224
so im this guy^
I have bought everything but the PSU now, i need psu suggestions
im running a pentium g-something (forgot # already) which runs at like 60w max, the gpu is a gt430 which maxes out at 85w, and ill only be having one HDD for now and maybe an SSD later
the motherboard requires a 24/20+4 main power connection alongside a 4 pin CPU power connection
any suggestions for 400-500w? doesnt have to be fancy, just not extremely low quality, i dont mind buying used if its a good price and a repuatable brand like evga
my first idea was to go with a 500 bronze but then the 430 looked decent, but they all seem kind of expensive new alongside shipping
>>55170412
>he bought windows
HAHAHA
>>55180707
and now im kinda looking at this, beacuse it has the connectors i need, and even though its a weird off-brand PSU that i doubt is good quality, it has a 1 year warranty
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271229901254
reporting in late, once again.
still no e6440 pics to report. gonna buy that dgpu mobo some day, i sware.
>>55180671
so after running heaven, valley, firestrike, and a few games for the last few hours monitoring with gpu-z, it appears my strix 1080 boosts to 2ghz.
from what i can tell from reading around 2-2.1ghz appears to be the limit for 1080's. really no need to overclock unless i want to hit that extra 100mhz.
i was waiting for the evga 1080 ftw myself since it would match better with my motherboard, but last week when i saw the strix back in stock on newegg, with no eta when the ftw's where coming back in stock anywhere, i decided to snag the strix instead.
i'm happy i did. its a fabulous card so far.
Im hoping to have something to post here soon.
>>55181176
Planning on attempting upping the voltage at all? I would assume it has more voltage headroom since it has the extra 6 pin, or is that more for stability?
alright, welp i bought every last piece i needed
might do the paintjob still, might just up some padding to cover the holes in the case, might just leave it silver to be honest, not caring that much, the yellow/black theme was scrapped when i found that cheap as ship hyperx blue, maybe ill paint the heat spreaders, or re anodize them
and yes, i am buying a stock cooler, eat my dick, what fan size do they have on them? google isnt helping much
>>55181217
the extra 6 pin is more for stability. all 1080's so far are voltage locked to 1.25v's, and no one has been able to achieve higher than 2.1ghz so far with max 1.25v's. even the cards with two 8 pins like the ftw's and gigabyte xtremes haven't been able to go over.
so far at least. a lot think later cards like the kingpin or the matrix might allow for higher clocks.
>>55181252
wait i just noticed this is the same heatsink size as the one the thinkcenter originally had
so i could put the old ring on it and drop that fan on there, which is a 80mm fan
that makes things easy
radial heatsinks are goat
>>55181252
i want to say 90mm.
though why don't you just buy a chromebook?
>>55181302
i already have a chromebook
and i think the fan on there might be 90mm, but i just noticed its the same actual heatsink as my pentium 4 had, which had an 80mm fan mounted on top
if all else fails, ill just glue a fan on there, its just he cpu fan, doesnt have to be perfectly snug
>>55179645
also while I'm here, my gpu ins't 100% level. I used a level and it was within the two lines, but it was leaning to one side. Is it bad enough to consider gpu sag? Or am I just being nitpicky?
>>55178931
I bought one with a decent i5 a while back and it failed on me. Wasn't functioning on any level whatsoever so I don't know if it's the board or CPU that went. May have been something I did, may have been incompatable parts or a faulty board, I don't know.
I recently bought the z170 pro gaming. It's pretty much the exact same board with some of the non essential flashy parts removed and slightly lower cost and I have to say it's a very good board.
>>55181346
its not going to effect its performance any, really
but if you want you can always suspend it with a piece of fishing line
or stick something under it

Cars, man. What do you drive?

1993 buick regal
solved the issue with the coolant, it was just a small leak, ill do a proper flushing somtime soon to get the solids out of the system
the fuel line leak isnt too bad, it doesnt drip, just kind of seep and evaporate, its taped up, hose clamped and zip tied around a barb for now
the tires are an issue though, i had to borrow a friends spare to go along with mine, and because they sat for so long the rims have bent
and theyre not hubcaps on rims, theyre milled steel rims, manufacturer rims cost like 150$ a piece and i dont make much
im thinking im going to replace all 4 rims + tires, but go with basic steel "winter rims"
i need functionality over form
>>55181899
Throw half a container of Seafoam in the crank case and drive it nice and hard for a bit before doing the oil flush.
That isn't bad, but it speeds up the drying and oxidation process. Probably easy to replace yourself with some jack stands and some based tools.
Who the fuck slashes someones goddamn tires. That's fucked up. Who in the hell and actual fuck. Shit I am mad.
Do you have any way of finding out who the fuck and also do you have a plan for when you find them and your plan should involve throats and fists and velocity.

It was -5 degrees outside, and the intakes for my PC were right beside a sliding glass door at the time, so I pulled it open. The temps got so low that it bugged out my socket temp gauge.

I love it, aside from one issue. One, huge issue.
No tap.
Anon, please include a tap when you next do maintenance and have to drain the loop. I promise you, it'll make things much, much easier.
I couldn't imagine how much of a pain in the ass my loop would've been had it not been for my tap.
(My loop is >>55188903)
Definitely dig the clear fluid though.
>>55189857
Actually, upon closer inspection, I think you have the same issue as I do. You also need two 45* angles, and either a third 45 or a single 90.
The 45/90 would be the IN fitting for the reservoir, since the tubing is already near enough doing a 90 right there anyway. The other two 45's would be the OUT for the reservoir and the socket it leads to on the radiator.
Not essential, but it'd definitely make the tubing look and feel a little bit safer & better.
I too need to get a 45 for my front radiator IN, possibly a 45 for the top radiator IN (so the tubing will sit beside the fans, not in front), and a 45 for my GPU to relieve the tension on the GPU OUT port. So its not just me being picky against you and you only.
>>55185345
:p
bought one of the coolers before 2011 was a thing so only got the screws for one, works just fine.
>>55173511
You definitely need to go custom loop m8, it'd look sick in your case.

Good choice on mobo, its a solid option that doesn't cost an arm and a leg but offers reasonable options and has, from my experience, good build quality.
I've not had any complaints. My i7 4790k can hit 4.7Ghz stable and as any semi competent OC'er knows, the motherboard can be half of the puzzle itself.
UEFI is easy too use too.
Rampage V Edition 10 + 6850K (Six Core 3.6-3.8GHz) + Two GTX 1080 Strix OC SLI going in tomorrow.

Why do people do this. And 4 ssd? And a nearly 700 dollar mobo?
What the fuck even I could do a more powerful x99 build for 2500. The fuck are you even doing
>>55195274
I work in the tech industry and I have connections and shit. I didn't actually pay $7,000.
>>55195299
OK that is the only acceptable answer.
Because holy shit unless you are building purely enthusiast or for a competition or a builder who does client builds like singularity computing anything over 3200 ish dollars is retarded and anything over 2500 is almost as retarded.
Also to be fair that monitor is expensive as fuck so I'll take the 1200 out of the equation but jeez.

r8/h8. Can't really see it because it's buried underneath my huge cooler and GPU. But I upgraded to a 6700k/Z170 board. Asus Z170 ROG Ranger board. 2x8GB kit of ddr4-3200mhz (which will only do 2666mhz but I digress).
