I want but don't need upgrades edition
>>55541090
>No optical disk drive detected
I see a drive though...
Gonna replace all my fans with non led Corsair magnetic bearing fans at some point.
>>55541908
They sure look interesting, but I don't know if it's worth Noctua-level pricing.
I have no more upgrades to make.
>>55542247
from what I have seen they are way better then Noctua
>>55542976
All I see are shill articles for a crazy expensive fan.
>>55543045
I haven't read any reviews yet I am just basing this of the specs of the fan and the fact that they have magnetic bearings and a more durable frame to prevent flexing when you tighten the screw, which I have seen happen. $30 CAD a fan is a little pricey but seems worth if it if they are actually that much quieter.
Pc just arrived. So hyped. Just gotta get dvi-d to vga and im all set! Pics tomorrow because its dark.
Retard tier question, if I buy a new mobo i can use the processor from my old one right?
>>55543303
I'm excited for you
1080 hype
>>55542521
you can always upgrade the graphics card when the time comes for 1080ti or 1180ti XD
here is a shitty quick picture of what i have now. At least i got rid of the ocz psu it killed my r9 390. Now i gotta decide is it worth it to wait for rma or just save up for a Shappire rx 480.
>>55543362
This is guts not GPU general. Post a picture where we can actually see the inside of your PC. Right now you are just focused on the Cooler, PSU, and GPU

sold my 390 for $300 dingo dollars
Small update on the new build. RAM came in. Waiting for CPU and some watercooling parts

what's with the foam?
Bought and built this for my friend's gf
>>55545601
I feel bad for her

What's it like to build in that NZXT? I was thinking of buying one for my first build. And airflow ?
Thanks
>>55546114
Someone is jealous they'll never find true happiness
>>55545751
um..
>>55546233
That girl is the human equivalent of that shitty 15 inch LCD screen, no thanks.
>>55546233
true happiness with your friends gf...?
Is there any point in this if I'm not doing GPU water cooling and only CPU?
>>55546466
>shit boss our factory caught fire and some of the case melted
>dont worry senpai i gotchu
how is my first build /g/?
I think I did a decent job on the cable management so far.
>>55546500
Kohai, actually.
But yeah melted and warped shit is the first thing that came to mind.
>>55546466
Any reason to get this when you can just get a 40 dollar sg13?
>>55545369
Holy shit, Gainward is still around? I thought they died. I haven't seen anything form then since the I bought their Geforce 2.
>>55546233
>all that shitty equipment and she has an oculus
>>55547450
why did you 290 when there is 480
>>55547893
I traded a gaming laptop for parts, so I didn't get to pick out my own parts.
I'm sticking to 1080p gaming for the foreseeable future, though, so I don't think I'll need to upgrade the gpu for a while.
>>55547933
just get vega when that comes
though 290 will handle 1080p just fine you need good cpu though
I want to upgrade the PSU and go for crossfire or buy a pro duo.
>>55547942
It's a 290X.
CPU is kind of shit (i5-4570t) but I'm planning on buying a 4460 by the end of the year.
>>55547963
>Pro-duo
Have fun with the worst frametimes ever
>>55548106
What's wrong with a pro duo?
>>55548358
dual gpu cards/crossfire is not a good idea. It causes micro stuttering.
not mine
help me understand guys. If the one pump is just delivering fluid to the top of the next reservoir, surely it does nothing to help overcome resistance? anyways it looks stupid
>>55548536
might be for redundancy ( you know in case one dies prematurely and you don't want to find out too late)
but the two tanks are definitely unnecessary
>>55548418
micro-stutter is a meme, drivers and other software options can stop it
>>55547963
Bby
>>55548563
Look they are trying to help you, the Pro-duo is absolute garbage (I was going to buy one). That's why barely anyone owns one. The frametimes are absolute trash, they hover around 33ms and jump to 10 then up to 40. If you want more power I would wait for a single card as SLI/Crossfire is a meme.
>>55548563
Pro duo us for professionals
Just get a fury or Vega when that comes
Here's to hoping stock Vega comes with a water cooler
>>55547450
ditch stock cooler
>>55542521
gorgeous cabling
>>55545371
nice CPU block and DIMMS :^)

do you ever use the rgb on that board?
>>55548620
hows that wireless adapter working for ya?
How do I make my cables aesthetic like in these builds?
>>55548620
>>55547963
>>55545369
>>55544722
Is it just a limitation of my case that it can't hide the cables properly or am I just not managing them correctly? I'm >>55547450
>>55549026
You could blame the case or you could blame the fact that there's fucking loose ends everywhere and you didn't care to route the shortest distance possible.
>>55549058
The loose ends are there because I'm getting a wireless card and 2 more drives.
Once I get those I'll try to do some more clean up.
>>55545601
>for my friend's gf
You apply thermal paste to her CPU
He applies his penis paste to her PUSSY
>>55549026
Probably both some cases it is just harder to do it on luckily my case has a whole other side just for parts that don't require airflow.
>>55545601
>dat cable management
Kill yourself
>>55548985
Like the headers? No, but I messed around with the RGB lighting built into the board. I ended up just leaving it on the default colour cycle though don't really have a colour scheme to my setup.
>>55549010
It's a great card, but I ditched it for the on board solution as the signal is easily messed up by cables near the antennas.
>>55542521
>everything below 30c
Unthreaded rubber mounts are a sin.
>>55543303
Here are my new spaghetti. Id manage cables but im too spooped about breaking something i cant afford.
>>55543332
Probably not.
CPU sockets aren't universal.
Recently completed, only 8GB of RAM and GTX960, 16GB upgrade imminent, a 1060 or 1070 might be coming too.
Anyone /miniitx/ here?
>>55552914
Sure!
Dear /guts/.
In one of previous thread, due to prices of Skylake CPUs, you guys told me to split upgrade of my current PC (i5-750, GA-P55-UD2 motherboard, GTX 660, 8gb DDR3 RAM, no-name case and some okay 530W PSU) in two parts - case, PSU and GPU now and CPU, motherboard and RAM around December (due to Zen and possible Kaby Lake, giving a chance to lower prices of Skylakes).
I want to ask if Seasonic M12II 620W, with Zalman Z3 Plus case and RX 480 Nitro from Sapphire would be good pick for the first part of upgrade process.
I really, really hope that Intel will lower prices for Skylakes around December. I really do. 350 EUR for 6700k is a bit too much in my opinion.
>>55553155
so what sort of psu does something like that take
>>55553293
150w
>>55553293
proprietary tfx design
>>55553363
It's not TFX, which is 70 x 85 x 175mm. It's closer to a 1U or flex PSU, but even smaller than that. They're proprietary to IN WIN, and they have a couple of different units, but the one included with the Chopin is 40 x 52 x170mm.
>>55553428
>tfx design
>>55553450
TFX is a specific, defined form-factor, like ATX and SFX. This PSU is none of those.
>>55553467
>tfx

>>55553467
you must warn hp about that, cause they are announcing pic related as tfx/sfx psu
>>55552680
looks like ricer shit desu sempai
>>55553497
Show me a link where they say that. On a cursory search, I see them listed as "SFF" form-factor, which is not a defined standard for power supplies.
>>55553590
show me your "cursory search"
>>55553590
nice reverse search, faggot.
>>55553602
>>55553639
Still waiting to see any evidence that hp refers to them as TFX/SFX. Not that in any way makes sense, since those are two completely different form-factors themselves.
>>55553676
>nice reverse search, faggot.
>completely diferent image
Good job, faggot.
>>55553704
It's the same PSU from a different angle, faggot.
>>55553497
>>55553733
>what is whatermark?
C ya, faggot.
>>55553282
Please respond ;_;
>>55553829
That power supply might be too much for RX 480 tho
>>55553876
Thats first part of upgrade, next one, around december, will be new motherboard, DDR4 ram and i7-6700k CPU, if it will drop down. If not, I dont know what I would do.
outervision.com/power-supply-calculator said I should get 560W one, so I guess that 620W would be safe.
It doesnt show Rx 480 on the list, tho, I just assumed same power consumption as R9 390.
>>55553992
You can use pcpartpicker to calculate your pc's power usage. But always do a bit more research with gpu's because their official power consumption may vary from real results.
>>55553876
too much? It will provide too much power?
That's not exactly a bad thing unless it's SUPER overkill like 1,200w power supply for a low end i3 and integrated graphics.
500-600w is fine for an i7 and rx-480.
>>55554050
The correct word i should have used it 'needless' But yeah, it leaves room for more choices in case he chooses r9 390
>>55554064
Honestly, its more difficult to find good quality power supplies that are low wattage unless they are SSF PSUs. 500-750w is the sweet spot as that's what the majority of companies are producing. It's easy to find good deals on PSUs in that range as well, they go on sale far more often.
>>55554033
Thats why I decided to get a bit more than what is minimal recommended setup (550W). Just to be extra sure.
How you consider the case, by the way? I dont want anything expensive, yet I would rather want to have at least okay air flow. It would be cool to have it cooling HDDs too, since I use three right now and, sadly, most cases have little space for them, basically forcing placing them one at the top of another and I fear that this might case them to overheat.
Another suggestion for case was Corsair 100R, but thats pretty much the same inside, unless I missed something.
>>55554083
Oh and Zalman Z3 Plus have 3 included fans, with option to mount one right next to HDDs so it can pump air directly at them. I like that idea.
I just wonder if 360mm length inside will be enough for GPUs.
>>55554083
Zalman z3 plus looks like a proper case. Id take corsair 100r purely because of aesthetics though. But dont let me bias your opinions.
>>55545601
what the heck
