Your heat sink is the wrong direction. fins should be allined with exhaust + intake fans. I bet your cpu heat is being pushed on to your card.
Not sure it would fit, but could you move the Fury to the top of the case and put another fan for intake ?

hey dont feel like starting new thread for this, today i built my new gaymen pc everything went rly smooth but now i notice something the cpu cooler clamp is lightly grazing the mobo heat sink can this cause problems or im i good?

>>52341591
14cm slots would be fantastic, though what I'm using it for is more than adequate.

When I bought this case as a 'cheap chassis' to migrate my HDDs from the TJ07 with spare parts and ran headless, I was a little embarrassed to have spent what I did on the TJ. It is so goddamn solid, the rubber HDD grommets, sliding caddies and overall construction is truly a standard I have to keep.

>>52341647
So long as it's not tipping the heatsink on either to cause loss of contact, you're fine. Be thankful it actually fits as well as it does.

I updated the speccy image, the RAM now operates at the right frequency and timings. It was defaulting to 2133 when it should be at 3000. It was a matter of changing the XMP profile from auto to the one provided by the corsair.

I really wish I could have done a better job with cabling but the PSU wasn't giving me a lot of freedom. I might buy a shorter SATA cable.

Don't know of any cases that you'd want. But you can fill up the empty space by taking 2-3 SSDs and mounting them sideways. Put them in Raid or something stupid, get ebin gaem loading times.

>>52345142
Screw that, I prefer mATX, that way you can really see your guts. ITX is pure god-tier for anything HTPC or Lan parties, though.

That tends to happen when stuff is maxxing out your PC.

>all these corsair meme parts
why

>>52348936
I have no idea what might be the cause...every time I press the power, it turns on [led and fan spinning] and it turns itself off for a second and power on one more time. Everywhere I search, it people having to press the power on the second boot. None of them are similar to my situation...

>>52349130
Reset BIOS and see if it still happens. It could be lots of things. Probably something wrong with either mobo or the power supply.

It's a very quirky case, but is extremely well built. All glass and aluminum construction is really a rare sight. Plus the aesthetics plus the roominess. Not nearly as small as my last ITX case, the Hadron Air.

There are some things to note though, mainly that plugging in and out cables is more difficult than on normal cases since the I/O shield doesn't extend to the back panel. See my pic for an example. All in all a good case.

>>52347370

No, it's giving a stupid answer to a stupid question.

Asking here is either being lazy or being stupid, and rewarding that behavior just results in the dumbass asking the question coming back to ask another stupid question when he's incapable of following simple instructions to piece his components together.

Hello, /g/. I'm not quite fond of the blue LED, but I just have to live with it for now. This mobo apparently has rather high temps for NB, and I got rather worried, so I put a 80mm fan on it. The 120 sitting by the gpu was a spare one and I thought I might as well fit it. Excuse the mess.

>>52353637
Not really. I don't even use it anymore, it's just sitting in it's box on top of my wardrobe. I agree it's a cute case, but the cooling in it is utter shit. If it had been half an inch wider it would've fit all the popular tower coolers, now it's kind of sketchy. And you really need to mod it as per your pic, to even consider it for anything other than a low powered HTPC.

>>52354049
>to expand a bit more
If I could I'd make it similarly sized, but like I said, slightly wider to accommodate taller heatsinks and a 120mm fan as an outtake, instead of 92mm. Two 120mm intakes at the front. Move the PSU to the top, with a grill over it on the top panel, so it can be used in fanless mode. Put two 120mm intakes on the bottom to blow air straight at the GPU. Oh and fuck stamped holes for grills and shit. Use an actual wire grill that doesn't impede airflow as much. That's it. The perfect case.

>>52345373
>P193

I have half a mind to switch to that from the Define R5 (which I switched to after the P183).

But it's just too ridiculously huge and I want 14cm fans on the front/back, not on the top.

found a decent sale on this? anyone have opinions

>>52354633
How did your mobo die? Did it take out any components with it? I'd buy a cheap Z97 mobo from a local store with a good return policy to make sure that your CPU, RAM and GPU didn't fry along with the mobo. Test the components and return the board once you're satisfied with the testing.
I'd get an ASRock Z97 Extreme6 for full M.2 bandwidth (PCIe3 x4 bandwidth, not the shitty PCIe2 x2 of most Z97 boards), or an ASUS Z97 board with a native USB 3.1 port on the rear IO. Gigabyte's Z97 G1 Gaming board is alright, but MSI are almost always overpriced trash that will fail on you at least once. EVGA is a nigger-tier board that tries to wow with extra PCIe3 lanes for SLI via a PLX chip, but everything else about it is mediocre compared with what you can get from other mobos for the same price.
But in your case, go with a cheap ASUS, ASRock, or Gigabyte Z97 board. You're probably not going to go SLI, nor should you switch to an M.2 drive (it shuts off 2 SATA ports on most boards or one PCIe slot) unless you absolutely have to. Do not buy based on what you want or hope to get, but on what you need right now and know you'll need.

>>52338899

>LEGOO XDXDXD LEGGOOOO

>>52354731
Oh, you're ditching Haswell for Skylake. It's generally not worth the upgrade and it will be cheaper to reuse your 4770k until post-Kaby Lake. The Z170 chipset is a stopgap in my eyes, half-heartedly including newer hardware standards, but not retaining 100% functionality because a lot of the newer features (USB3.1, M.2, etc) relies on the same number of PCIe lanes that you're limited to on the chipset. The more features you have, the less you're able to use at any one time because they almost always share lanes (usually up to 4x lanes of PCIe3.0).
Z270 and later will have USB3.1 native to the chipset (rather than a hasty add-on via pre-allocated PCIe3.0 lanes) and more PCIe3.0 lanes that would no longer force you to choose between M.2 SSDs, more graphics cards, or other add-on cards.

Get a reasonably-priced Z87 or Z97 board to hold you over until the next few generations. Your Haswell is within 90-97% of the performance envelope of Skylake's i7-6700k anyway.

>>52354816
didn't quite die but i've had a very odd problem and i've been troubleshooting for days with no luck, small advances but i've finally reached a full stale point,
tldr
bought ssd, unplugged psu and sata from optical drive to put into ssd.
got A2 Q code which is trouble recognizing/reading a drive etc.
managed to get into like 5 times out of over a hundred attempts. messed around in bios infinitely, but the sata is shown in bios, but for some reason it isn't showing up in the boot drive order settings. I couldn't even access it before until i plugged in a usb. It was the only available "boot drive" even though in the sata section it was recognizing all of my drives. Nothing that i went through has any evidence that it was my gpu or other components messed up. For a moment I thought it might have been the gpu because I went into bios and enabled the CSM as opposed to having it on auto, and tried turning it on (without the gpu in) and it worked, with all of my drives responding. i thought i fixed the issue so I turn it all off, plug in my card and A2 Q code again. Take it back out, don't change anything else, and i still get the error again, i'm guessing it was a fluke. And i have been able to access windows a couple times with my gpu plugged in aswell.

>>52354952
Did you try flashing the BIOS to the latest update of clearing CMOS? It sounds like it's an issue with either the SATA port or the SATA controller, if not an actual issue with the SSD itself.
Try this: buy an external USB3.0 HDD dock and mount the problem drive/drives into the dock while you boot. If it still has the same problem, it could be that the drive itself got fucked over and you might want to start backing up the data on it.
If it works, then the drive is fine and it's the port or controller that has the issue. In which case, you don't need to buy a new mobo, but a simple $30 PCIe-to-SATA add-in board.

>>52354981
>have any idea if pascal will run on the current mobos on the market
If it has at least one PCIe 2.0/3.0 16x slot, then it can run any card out there. All H/Z97, H/Z170, B85, B150, A88X, A85, A78, and A75 boards have one PCIe 3.0 16x slot. They will be able to run Pascal or any future card at its full bandwidth. PCIe2.0 x16 slots found on older H81, A65, A68, all AM1, and all AM3+ boards will have a very slightly reduced performance on PCIe3.0 x16 card. Maybe a 2-4% difference at most.

>>52355070
>>52354952
Also, try switching out SATA ports to narrow down the problem. If it's just one or two ports acting up, you can always not use them in lieu of functioning ones.

>>52355070
the problem persists with all 4 drives. Including the brand new ssd never before used.
No matter if one, two or four drives connected.
>>52355151
I believe it's the whole thing, they all get read by the mobo but none of them are able to be selected as boot up drives
A weird thing though is I only get the A2 Qcode with the intel sata ports but when I put it in the ASMedia sata port It instead says 99 but the same problem still persists. I can't get into windows

>>52355070
and I didn't flash the BIOS, unsure what that means. But I did reset the CMOS. plugged the shit out, took the battery out, waited 10 15 mins put it back in. Same shit

For display output, I do buy cases that are large enough to mount a GPU. So I don't mind if the mobo has limited options for that.

>>52357654
Oh no don't get me wrong. I'm talking about the form factor, not that specific instance.
I would never buy a Z170 mini-ITX. The benefits of Z170 over H170, or even H110, are negligible when you consider that you can't get the additional slots and outputs on a mini-ITX the way you can on an ATX.

>>52355405
If your mobo supports it, you can plug in a flash drive with the update as an ISO and update the BIOS via the BIOS menu.

But from what you've said, I think your chipset might be fucked. That calls for a new board, unless you want to save a few dozen bucks and buy a $30 SATA port multiplier/RAID card. It might not work, given that even your ASMedia controller doesn't recognize the drives. Find a cheap Z87/97 board and stick with it for at least a while. See if you can have it replaced under warranty, if the period is still active.

My room temp when this was taken was about 19-20c.

>>52369915
How fast do you have those fans spinning, and is there another rad on the other side of the case somewhere? 18-20c deltas with those components on a 240 rad is hard to believe. The small increase when running a stress test also doesn't seem possible.

0) Buy a new decent case.

I have a two 240 rads with 2 gentle typhoons at 900rpms on each of them.

just redone, with new Cpu cooler and pwr supply

That makes more sense then. Have you tried running the fans any slower? You've got plenty of thermal overhead. Or you could add a second card.

I'm planning on adding another 980Ti, but I think I'll rather wait till Pascal if one 980Ti is plenty for Oculus Rift in Star Citizen.

I can clock them higher maybe.

I/O panel. Sorry for dark.

As long as I do not close it it does not get too hot really.

really

Is that bottom graphics card a non-reference cooler right up against the PSU? You're probably getting almost no airflow there.
