Guts Thread?
/g/uts thread.
>>55913164
Anon, why? Where are your dust filters?
not the best but eh, I'm happy
>>55913340
is that ram waterblock realy worth it? how much does that thing cost?
>>55913076
Also the fishing lines are against the sagging and its barely noticeable inside the case
>>55913076
It still looks like its sagging
>>55913540
I know man. Probably going to buy some lego's soon
>>55913428
Not really, it's more or less just for looks. It wasn't cheap, got a great deal on the fittings though.
My first build.
Is it better temperature-wise to have my card in the higher PCI-E slot so it has more room for airflow? Or does that kind of shit not matter?
iᵗ'ˢ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵗiᵐᵉ ᵃᵍᵃin
>>55913247
Dust filters are integrated into the intake ventilation holes, so you can slide them out to clean them.
>>55913834
Only the first slot is x16, the remaining ones are x8. So your card is working at half the power now.
>>55913247
Ayyy
I've got a new DVD drive today, you guys want to see it?
>>55914418
You are retarded.
x16 doesn't signify not power it's bandwidth.
That being said, your black slot actually has x4 bandwidth.
>>55914418
>>55914557
So which slot has more bandwidth? I'm assuming the black one because it has x4 bandwidth?
Unless I'm reading it wrong? I'm reading it as literally 'times 4'/ 4 times the bandwidth
>>55914596
Your Blue slot has x16 bandwidth, using that one should give you a boost of efficiency.

>tfw your cheapo motherboard has the CPU socket way to far to the left
Hopefully my RX480 will burn out the PCIe slot like /g/ tells me it will, then I'll have an excuse to get something decent.
>>55915319

>>55913164
Is that a gigabyte 970A-DS3P? If so what CPU you got in it and have you managed to get a good OC on that board?
>>55915319
Case?
>>55913076
Thats some thick cooling on that card.
>>55913164
>not be quiet psu too.
awww looks pretty clean though man.
>>55913247
Love they put the slot on the back thats cool.
>>55914025
man wheres the go fast button?
>>55915319
dawww cutie.
just took out the drives and cage to make place for the rad, managed to squeeze a HD in the back
>>55915319
I'll never understand why Noctua decided to use that color scheme for their fans
R8?
Non poo anti vibration pads coming from noctua
>>55915319
>>55915767
Seconded, what case?
>>55913076
guts?
>>55916507
Does that physx processor really help anything?
>>55916589
I don't play anything with PhysX at the moment so I'm not sure, I've looked at a few benchmarks and it should help as long as the PhysX isn't so demanding the 650 becomes a bottleneck. I also have one of my analog monitors running off the card since the 780 only has one analog port. If it gives me better performance in Fallout 4 then I will be happy.
haha check out my gaming pc :)
>gpu broken
>order new one with 24h delivery

REEEEEEEEEEEE
when bitches see my guts they get wet
>>55916099
Because you instantly recognized them.
Well looks like MSI replaced my r9 390. Heres hoping my new psu doesn't kill it like my old one did. Also fixed the pcie power cable.

You need to install some filters Anon, spiders are getting in your case as evidenced by that spider web.
>>55913164
Simple, attractive, and no frills. I like it.
>>55913247
A curious case where the back area is actually cleaner than the front. I'm sure it runs cool though.
>>55913308
Utilitarian. Nothing wrong with that. From the myspace angle it looks clean despite lacking a modular PSU.
>>55913340
Stunning and clean, assuming that's really yours. Too much black, however. It's too artsy to really appreciate as a picture.
>>55913448
Can't see shit. Get a dedicated picture instead of being lazy and going for a all-in-one approach.
>>55913540
No frills functionality. Bare essentials.
>but mom I need a full tower
>>55913822
Do you not have a heatsink fan on that? That's interesting if you're running it passively, especially since I can only imagine the heat being exhausted from that GPU. Also, did you cut away some of the drive cage?
>>55913834
It's better to have it in the highest slot because the lower slots, especially on z97 boards, run at lower bus speeds. You're probably not getting the full x16 width.
It looks good, although it's curious how you're missing the I/O plate and PCIE covers.
>>55914025
Beautiful sleeper. Proof you don't need a fancy modern case to have adequate cable management if you take your time.
>>55914491
ayyy grill. Finish the loop. Are you going to limit it to just the CPU, or are you adding GPU blocks? I ask because the reference shrouds actually match the theme nicely.
>>55915153
This is a guts thread. Not an AIO thread. Post a picture of guts, not an AIO.
>>55915319
kawaii. I want to see how lewd it looks with a mini GPU.
>>55915784
You're literally killing me anon. That build has so much potential. Get a $60 white case. You're not using optical drives so even an S340 would do wonders.
>>55915801
The red LEDs kill the minimalism, but it's still too nice to say bad things about. What GPU is that?
>>55917818
>>>55913540 (You)
>No frills functionality. Bare essentials.
>>but mom I need a full tower
I got the case only because of the looks. It was quite cheap and i prefer minimal style. to be honest, i didnt expect it to be this big.
>>55917818
>Judging other people's builds
>Not posting his own
Guts or gtfo faggot.
>>55916004
Please Anon, put the radiator in. The front is so empty. I'm interested to see where you go with this. It has a lot of potential and your UV tubes match the Riing fans nicely.
>>55916099
Such a nice build, however I can't help but think it would look better with a white LED instead of that faint blue.
>>55916396
Better red than dead. Excellent use of space, it looks cosy. I can't help but be distracted by the out-of-place white fan and brown rubber edges on the poo fans.
>>55916507
Outrageous in every way. So subtle, yet so loud. This is a beautiful build, but I'm not liking the mini card which I assume is for PhysX.
>>55916779
>haha I was only pretending to be retarded :^)
>>55916815
dark/10
crooked ssd/10
>>55916938
Nice build that's groomed in the front and more amazingly, also in the back.
>>55916975
I'm splooshing already.
>>55917336
Cute. Are those dual 80mm fans in the back? I can't imagine them being quite.
>>55917838
I'm just playing with you anon, it's a nice build if not roomy.
>>55917945
I just installed arch on my netbook and I don't have my guts picture on it. What's wrong with rating? People used to do it all the time.
>>55918028
They are not very loud. Loudest part in my build is the gpu when i play anything cause its an old shitty Nividia card.
This thread reminded me that it's time to dust out the inside.
>>55918193
Nice color coordination. I like it how it's mostly black with subtle blue, rather than the other way around.
I would be lying though if I didn't mention how the bottom of that 120mm heatsink fan being off the rubber nub didn't trigger my autism though.
>>55918258
Thanks.
You're the first one to point that fan out, but yes it's crooked.
Will fix when I re-apply some thermal paste.
time to focus on aesthetics
any htpc build builds
>>55916507
>>55916723
would it be possible to feed the corsair link cable through the maximus viii i/o cover? that cable is the only thing i don't like about this build
so many builds with radiators in push configuration, when pull is clearly superior
>>55918984
Lets see those clearly superior thermals from the proper testing you've done to illustrate your point.
Oh wait, what's this, you're just another idiot on the internet without proof. Shocker.
Look, if it were a legitimate difference you'd have tons of evidence and you'd have shills posting charts making fun of all the idiots.
>>55918028
the radiator is in backorder, i hope it will arive somewhere beginning next week. also contemplating placing the rad fans on the inside, if i put the rad in only the one in the bottom and on the back will be visible from inside.
>>55919043
superior for maintenance, barely makes a difference for performance, so why not
>>55913247
might be me being thick...but is your PSU in upside down?
+1 for phanteks case though...my enthoo is splendid
>>55917818
>Post a picture of guts, not an AIO.
Here's the full system you autist. The mobo and psu are parts I'd like to swap out, but i can't really justify it as the current ones just werk.
>>55919043
Not that guy, but the advantage of a pull configuration isn't temperatures, as push and pull configurations both perform exactly the same here.
Rather, the advantage is that a pull configuration makes the radiator easier to clean.
Still haven't installed a damn SSD on this thing.
Couldn't find one in Hong Kong when I flew over so I'm just having one shipped from the US to the other side of the world.
Should take a couple weeks.
>>55919201
I just blow compressed air through the opposite direction the fans blow
>>55918984
>he thinks its about temps
the differences between push/pull configurations are completely negligible (< 1 K)
although that changes once your push config radiator becomes blocked by hard-to-reach dust
>>55913076
I like your ingenuity.
>>55913164
I dig it, looks good for non modular PSU.
>>55913247
So cute.
>>55913308
Triggered by a 970
>>55913340
You make a lot of money. Super clean. Beautiful.
>>55913448
My first build was a haswell i5 with a 390. Always gonna love these builds.
>>55913540
Never liked full towers but this is why research is important as space and drive utilization is not great here.
>>55913822
Looks like a sleeper build.
>>55913834
Use your pcie slot covers please.
>>55914025
Love the old look with updated guts inside.
>>55914491
That loop is gonna look great when its finished. Also no SLI bridge?
>>55915319
Tempting me to make such a build with an APU.
>>55915784
Definitely a sleeper.
>>55916004
That glowing loop is bretty gud.
>>55916099
Love it.
>>55916396
Nice. Starting to love cube cases.
>>55916507
That mobo is sexy af. Great guts senpai.

>>55917336
CUTE.
>>55918193
Rock solid build. Nice cable management.
>>55918394
Nice legs and build.
>>55919076
Me out of 10.
>>55919086
Looks gud.
>>55919228
All those empty hdd bays...
>>55919252
And then dust gets caught on the fans so you spend more time blowing more compressed air at them to get it all off.
>It's already easy to clean, so there's no way it can be easier or more efficient to clean !
>>55919350
All my hard disks (5) are in my current computer for now; once I get the rest of the PC assembled, I'll move them all over.
>>55919086
>Here's the full system you autist
luv u bb
Great use of that sideways PCI slot. Is that a 480?
>>55919228
Everything fits well together, it's a nice functional build. Are you using an SSD, no HDDs?
>>55917818
Yeah, adding the GPU's. Kinda waiting for EK to release their HB SLI bridge first. The EVGA one would work, but I don't wanna use an EVGA bridge with NVidia-direct GPU's. Triggers my internal autism.
>>55919350
Thanks, I hope so! And I had just finished doing the wiring. Using a rigid 3-way from ASUS that came with my board at the moment.
>>55919350
I wish i had your build instead of mine >>55917336
I want to eventually switch to mini itx i am thinking a define s nano i just need to find a good lga 1150 itx motherboard.

It is indeed, the 4GB reference flashed to 8GB. Thankfully I bought it before they hiked the UK prices.

I know what you guys mean. It bothers me a lot too, but the covers are a one-and-done kind of thing. I can't put them back on once I take them off.
Any idea where can I find generic black ones online that'll fit my case?
Pic related. They measure at around 10cm long.
>>55920821
>Any idea where can I find generic black ones online that'll fit my case?
PCI covers are a universal thing. Once size will fit all. You can find them pretty much anywhere. eBay, Newegg, Performance PCs, Aliexpress. They're cheap too and sometimes will even come in a variety of colors.
>>55915701
That's correct. I have an AMD FX 6200 at stock clock (3,8GHz)
I haven't even tried to overclock because the TDP of my CPU is 125W and I read somewhere that the single 4pin ATX CPU power cable is rated for 144W max.
>>55921002
You could always try to overclock it a bit without touching voltages.
>>55921002
You can OC it to the boost clock (4.1Ghz) without touching voltages, that's pretty much a given unless you severely lost the silicon lottery.
Just bump up the multiplier and you should be good, touch nothing else.
>>55921226
Does it boot?
>>55921241
ive been using it nonstop for 6 yrs now
I was originally going to get the 212 Evo/X, but after reading some more reviews it seems like the Cryorig M9A or H7 is a better deal.
What are your guys' opinions on the Cryorig coolers?
>this is going to replace the jet turbine that is my FX-8350 stock cooler. That thing is the worst
>>55921484
>What are your guys' opinions on the Cryorig coolers?
They're aesthetically attractive and have a unique honeycomb fin shape that probably works a bit better than the generic flat fins.
The 212 is an old cooler, despite the suffix, it's still the same old cooler. It's reliable, but it's also old and superseded by others.
Why are all these air coolers so ugly and look the same REEEEE
I would kill for the Thermaltake Spinq or a Coller MAster Eclipse right now
Are there no beautiful coolers being produced anymore?
>>55913076
This was a shitty prebuilt that I got from my parents a few years ago before I graduated HS, and so far the only thing I've been able to upgrade is the GPU and Power Supply. It's a Mid ATX and the battery isn't modular, so there isn't really any room for cable management. I'm working to save up enough for this build. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/TvXtpb
>>55915153
It won't. It was waaayyyyyy overblown. The few who claimed had so many holes in their story. The most famous who actually took photos showed spillage all over his motherboard.
/g is a pro nvidia board. Much like how its a pro Intel and Microsoft board.
>>55921484
I have an h7. Keeps my OC'd 6600k at 28-30c. I highly recommend it over the 212.
>>55920550
Did you paint those bits on the mobo heatsinks or does MSI do a white version as well?
Surprised to see my 290s beating a 1080 in Valley, I always assumed the 1080 was quite a bit better (it probably is in actual games). Still impressive for a single card though.
>>55922129
desu not a bad build, but
>i5-4690
i got a 6600k for that price, you might as well hop on the skylake train now that DDR4 prices have gone down tremendously and since intel CPUs don't really fall in value.
Some minor changes,
950 pro installed, 850 evo gone.
I promise to take some better pics soon and to clean the finger prints
>>55922462
Ok, thanks for the tip.
>>55922488
Check to see if there is a Microcenter near you.
They normally have tremendous deals on Intel (and AMD) processors, sometimes up to $100 cheaper than online retailers.
>>55922730

Welp, there it goes.
>>55917818
Nah senpai Im good with my server HP case. Biggest reason is cause I am picky about cases and I chose this one cause its all steel and strong as fuck. Alo the putside of the case is brown textured.

I'm pretty pleased with it
>>55923897
That GPU looks sweet, but it's like a 2-3 hour drive.
>>55923941
Sucks, under an hour is worth it for CPU/motherboard bundle. More than that and you'll spend all your savings on gas + tax.
>>55923977
so tight~
>>55913076
hey nice case
>>55923977
Lol I was going to say that I didn't think your fan's motor should be sparking like that, then I realized it's just a reflection of the AIO's pump light.
>>55924014
what is the card below the gpu?
look at my disgusting corpse
>>55918028
Thanks, Yes the small card is for PhysX but mostly for a second analog monitor. eventually I will ditch those and probably the small card also.
>>55918905
I will give it a try next time I am in the case doing something

New case.
R8 gents. Haven't opened my case in some time although the last time I did. I noticed my PSU developed a very slight coil whine. Debating If I should send it out or just crack it open (voiding the warranty), and hit the offending portion with nail polish. The PSU is like 6 years old so it showing a bit of wear isn't surprising.
>>55925179
Just keep it until it fails or gets too annoying then buy another better brand.
>>55925157
that cpu heatsink looks stupid but it does a good job keeping the cpu cool.

okay I want to give evga a second chance. did they step up their game on reducing the fan noise on their newer cards from 980ti up to a 1070? I use to own two evga cards and both of them sounded like an airplane was taking off. also this was a evga gtx 660 and the other was around there.

I own them and I do agree with them the leds on them are unnecessary. also they are overprice for having such bad timing but the build quality does look very good.
>>55925415
If the rubber fan corners are touching the GPU backplate they may melt. Watch out.
i got some red paracord 550 and sleeved some cables in addition to the extensions i already had (ones i did are the ones coming from the power supply along with the sata power for the hard drive)
>>55925513
shit, forgot pic
>>55925466
its just the metal fan clips thankfully
>>55925466
I don't know if you're being serious but stop making shit up, no backplate would get hot enough to melt that rubber.
>>55925401
All cards get loud at 100% tilt.All in all, EVGA is pretty much top of the heap on regards to nvidia. They've never let me down. Had a 550ti, 560ti 448 core and they were great.
If you're talking reference cooled cards, they're all loud. Evga 1070 shouldn't disappoint. If the stock fan curve is too loud, set your own.
>>55925305
That's just it. The cooler master V series was/is one of the best brands in the market. This PSU is by no means a slouch and the coil whine is intermittent. Just I have sensitive hearing. Idk. I'll think of something.
>>55925627
okay thanks for the input because evga is the reason why I switch to msi cards but this time around the red color scheme on msi cards is not going to match my new motherboard.

>>55932880
Oh, good catch. I noticed my display cable wasn't 1.2 so I changed to hdmi AFTER I took the screenshot..
I was a dummy not realizing that the card didn't use displayport mini which I was using with the older card.
Because I like how Micro ATX motherboards look in an ATX midtower, that's why.

Not enough to fit a 120mm/140mm tower heatsink on the CPU..
Don't get me wrong it's a 10/10 case but I wouldn't mind giving something slightly bigger a try.
>>55935737
>"Hope you'll watercool those cards"/"mid build"
Yeah, gonna be fully watercooled, including the cards, sometime next week hopefully.
>>55935787
is your CPU overclocked? might be a bottleneck
>>55935737
Thanks for the (You)
It's been a while.
>>55914025
There is several older cases i'd like to use, but they all have only 80mm back fan placement (just like that one), which severely hinders airflow. And of course, top PSU placement.
All these newer cases are made from 0.00001cm thin steel, which goes ching, chong and ding from every vibration. Fuck them.
Of course i have my DIY case (made 12 years ago, have housed several setups) with thick steel panels, which i use with my main workstation, but i have several other systems to use..
>>55915801
HD 5870 Vapor-X
>>55936336
Weird, I only had a 3770k at 4.6GHz your 1080 should have beaten 2 780Ti
>>55928517
Using water cooling on a cpu with TIM'd heatspreader is a waste.
>>55936848
i'm no expert but what i've noticed is that my old 390 hits 11k in 3dmark firestrike and my 1080 hits 16-17k. yet my 1080 has over 2x the frames in games than my 390 had, so benchmarks and games are 2 different things.
also i think the drivers arent the best yet, i'm only seeing 80-88% utilization on my GPU core in games.
>my card is stock tho. boosts to 1970mhz on the core by itself.
>>55936904
hmm yea it's possible the 1080 may just not run Valley very nicely, the dual 780ti run I posted is from a build I had about 2 years ago the cards were pushed as far as they would go on air. I'm only running a single 780 at the moment until I have the money to upgrade.
>>55936938
How'd you go from dual 780ti's to a single 780?
>>55916099
i had my 3570k for almost 4 years but the vrm on my mobo burned so now im stuck with an gtx 760 and an old amd athlon x2 3800+, well do not overclock with and stock cooler :^)
>>55916779

>>55941782
No need, I already have the best one >>55923977
>>55938043
I sold the whole build and didn't have a PC for over a year. Got the 780 for free from a buddy.
>>55923977
wish the case were a little smaller like the ncase
>>55941782
my itx build from two years ago
i3 4150, 270x, 8GB memory
airflow in the case was complete garbage so i modded in those two air penetraters in the front
So my SG11b showed up today.
actually a pretty comfy case to work in
i think it could possibly take atx motherboards in it, or at least 4 pci micro atx ones
either way it has extra risers on 2/4 sides
>>55943274
only problem is this
120mm fan for my shadowrock lp is a few mm away from the fan for the PSU
which means theres a weird deadzone of air and im not sure if im still getting decent airflow
and i sure as shit dont want to take this thing back apart to flip the psu fan, nor do i think that would really help with airflow related temperatures anyway
im still below 40c idle which is ok, but not great
>>55936680
Is that a sata connector hanging down? Pretty clean man
>>55942657
I am assuming your saving for noctua fans haha.
>>55942939
cute build.
>>55943274
>>55943290
Thats a pretty close one on that clearance. Can only hope your intake fans push some air into the case to get it there I guess. Awesome tight build man.
>>55943381
oh this thing is overkill for passive air intake, its like 99% vents on the side panels
the 120mm on the right side is exhaust, the psu is exhaust, the 92mm on the top is exhaust
and theres still noticeable pull when i put a wet finger by any of the grates
>the autism blog the thread
>>55943425
why do you have a microwave so close
>>55943425
comfy and tiny set up man I always worry with those itx builds about heat.
>>55943646
its not as bad as i thought it would be
this is with firefox running so not idle, for a few mm of fan clearance and almost no airflow over the cpu, the shadowrock lp is doing alright
could be alot better, with the thinkcenter case i was idling at 31-32c, now im at 36-38c
which again, isnt bad, just not as good as it could be
gonna look into a slim 120mm fan to install on the cooler for more space between it an the psu
>>55943644
>he doesnt have a microwave next to his desk

Does anybody know why my 980ti leds aren't lighting up??
06G-P4-0998-KR
I feel retarded because they've never lit up since I got the card...
>>55944132
Have you made sure they're plugged into the pcb?
If they are, try connecting them to a 12v battery in case the LED itself is at fault.
If they light up on a battery, But not on the cards power, the connectors may be bad
>>55936938
looks like valley isn't really optimised to use 1080 to its fullest or something. oh well synthetics are nice to test stability when overclocking but that's about it
>>55935737
the unused space will be used on monday, finally got a shipping confirmation.
>>55944341
I'll check it out. But do they usually come unplugged? what would the connector look like?

How is the top GPU temp at full load on air cooling in SLI?
>>55915319
At first I thought that was a gigantic fan
>>55945041
I've basically been running the build with no side panels or case fans for a week now. Both GPU'S seem to top out at around 82°C, even when it's like 80°F in my room. It should be fully water-cooled by next week's end.
I cant get 60fps on ac3. Lel wut

Not home right now :( here my laptoop tho
i'm looking for a new case simply because i can't fit my water cooling without buying a new reservoir and fittings bla. bla. which is almost the equivalent of a new case. any recommendations? current is Fractal R5.
budget i'm thinking is 150$ but money isn't a problem so recommend cases worth 250$ if you got something even worth it.
I'm looking for:
>Full tower.
>Reservoir mount support.
>space for cable management
>support for 280 rad in the front. even more in the top.
Couldn't get a good picture.
>>55953294
The upcoming EVGA DG-8 is to die for.
Pretty pricey tho.
>>55953434
It also supposedly supports 2 360 radiators.
>>55953434
if pic related, then i'm full erect. what prices are we looking at?
>>55953481
$229 on preorder at EVGA site.
Must be released in the next 10 days.
There are cheaper versions tho, but you will only miss out, since they don't have the tempered glass and less bells and whistles you would need to buy for water cooling anyway.
>>55953294
>Stupidly oversized res
>All that rad for a CPU only loop
>>55953523
damn, i live in norway so i have to pay the import fee of 25$ then the added retail price of 25% of the original price. (because Norway)

>>55953632

gpu isn't even 10 days old and im still not sure if i wanna void the warranty just yet.
>>55953666
You likely earn >25% more than the yanks on this board though.
>>55953729
not really, i'm an apprentice, so i earn 35% of full wage for the next 6 months. then 40, 45, 60, 80. changes every 6 month until i get my certificate of apprenticeship. but i basically live for free so it compensates a littlebit.
>>55953666
Yes, that's what I fear too. My case budget is €250.
By the way, does anyone know Phantecs Entoo ATX have any decent reservoir mounts?
>>55953389
Really like the purple, get some black zip ties though
>>55952952
tucking a lot of those cables would be a huge improvement? doesnt matter if no window though.

>>55954349
full speed generally bad, maybe his cooling is good enough that they dont have to get that far?
>>55954368
