My rig
>FX8350, hd7850, 8GB dual channel.
getting a Nitro rx480 next month. Along with it maybe 212 evo cooler so that my cpu wont overheat when my gpu is no longer bottlenecking it and perhaps more ram.

>>56129707
I really think this is my favorite.

>>56130376
>maybe 212 evo cooler so that my cpu wont overheat
do you think the 212 evo is somehow significantly better than that heatsink you already have?

The only way you'll get something drastically better is if you step up to a dual tower 140mm dual fan setup.

>>56130446
Yes I do actually. My current one is 100mm and the sink is a lot smaller

>>56130496
lol a 212 evo is considered entry level, dont expect much unless your current heatsink is mounted improperly.

>>56130557
I don't have any problems right now because the games I play don't stress my processor too much. Please do recommend a better cooler if you have one in mind. Preferrably something that doesn't snap my mobo in half

Wow damn. Got me scared lol, shoulda I just return it lol.

>>56137200
It's fine, but I would consider an aftermarket. I followed what this guy did and changed the sink to my last card's. Honestly it's a damn good card but the reference coolers are poor because the card is inexpensive. And it's not going to die from not changing it, I'm just saying that if it's too loud for you consider changing the cooler.

Hmm, if I wanted to I could do it, but I'm lazy lol. If anything I'd wait for an actual manufactured 480 aftermarket cooler to come out that would be an easy swap. I don't feel like cutting things and adding more heatsinks like he did.

From the NCase? Better cooling, and I need a bit more hardware support.

Guys, I'm planning a build, but I'm ultimately stuck between Asus Deluxe and Asus Maximus, because I need wifi, bluetooth and decent sound.

So I decided to go with deluxe and started planning out a full white build. But it turned out that the only white case available is the fucking H440 and there is no white AIO. Ok, I thought, let's goo all out and get a simple water loop. Turns out H440 is horrible for building a water loop - the only reservoir moun option is at the back and then the GPU won't fit.

Look like I'm stuck with the meme red/black build. Fuck.

>>56155537

yea, it came with a crappy Xeon E5649 hexacore @ 2.5Ghz

Lets see, I paid:
$400 for the gtx970 (Got it when it came out, and that was in my previous system, along w/ the hdds)
$100 for the system chassis (had everything minus the better xeons, memory, hdds, and graphics card)
$80 for the cpu riser to add the 2nd cpu and extra 6 memory modules
$200 for both cpus, 2x Xeon x5680 6 Core @ 3.33Ghz per core
$50 for the 12x 8GB memory modules (like 4 bucks a piece)
and I think about 100per hdd, but they were from my previous build

so I think I have about a little over a grand into it

I do a lot of ebay, and it helps to know people in the e waste business...

>>56155613

That really isn't bad, considering each of those six core chips performs better than an AMD FX-8350, which has a performance crown per dollar.

really it was more like $430 out of pocket for me about 2 mo ago, considering most everything came out of my previous workstation, which was an old dell precision 690 (pic related. 2x Quad core 48gb ram)

best part was, I just put everything in exactly as I physically had it in my previous precision, and booted, installed drivers, and done, everything just worked, it was great.

>>56155680
and I just realized how old that screen shot was, I still was rocking my 650ti at that time, and it was before I upgraded it to 64gb of ram

then I got my t7500, and gave the old 690 to the wife, lol

>>56155732
seriously, I'm right there with you. all I have in the house for desktops is dell precisions, and I just got rid of my 12 core 2.93ghz mac pro (2010) tower last month, got a MacBook pro to supplant it

Apple ruined their pro line of workstations.

>>56150803
Define S. Its not a shitty case though. In fact, I was pretty surprised by its quality. However, it just looks fucking boring compared to the one I want now.

I'm building a new PC and I'm afraid of poor airflow on my HDDs. The Define S hides the HDDs on the right side, the Eclipse P400S hides the HDDs under the PSU Shield and the Carbide does that as well but makes it easier to get air down there and I'm also considering the Design R5. Please tell me the Define S(and the rest) doesn't have overheating HDDs

>>56150752
I dont give a fuck mate

>>56157116
contrary to popular opinion, standard operating temperatures are not an HDD-killer.

HDDs are designed to operate at higher temperatures and no matter what you subject them to they will prevail.

HDDs only suffer failures due to heat exposure in enterprise or home lab settings where dozens of disks are stuffed into enclosures without ventilation.

Uneven cooling, like having a fan in front of an HDD will kill it faster than having it under a shroud or behind the motherboard tray.

>>56130806

if they don't i'm sure you could shoot a line to coolermaster and they'll sell them to you

honestly, the mount for the noctua looks like it's worth the upgrade

6800k is basically the same thing but hits an OC wall slightly sooner, so the increased IPC ends up making it a wash over the 5820k, they are basically the same chip on a slightly different process.

Guys, if I'm getting a rx480/gtx1060 with a 6600k processor and I'm planning on overclocking everything (slightly, not overkill), what kind of PSU should I use? I have a very old HX1000W that's overkill and I don't want to take it out of my current case, but everywhere I look it seems any PSU under $100 is apparently garbage.
Should I go with a corsair CX or something? How much Wattage will I even need to handle the OC?

>>56161616
Seasonic M12II 520W Evo
Its cheap (atleast in the EU) and full modular

>>56161667
Is the Evo version that much an improvement over the non Evo? The 520 Evo is also $5 more expensive than the 620 non-Evo, should I still go with the 520?

>>56161811
The non Evo is a much older model with only ATX 2.2. 520W will be enough with plenty of headroom for a new GPU in the next years.

It's used in a fuckload of builds, is relatively cheap but still a couple bucks higher than it should be just due to popularity. A little bit ugly, it's a bitch to mount.

Overall it's decent price to performance cooler, it just werks. There are better and worse ones in the same price range. Personally I like the cryorig H7.

Getting it mounted isn't too bad if you don't go full retard and tighten one side all the way down before starting the other screws

The problem is the mount doesn't stop the cooler from rotating around on top of the cpu

Other than the blademaster fan it's a decent cooler, you can't oil the bearings on the blademaster to make it last longer so when it starts making grinding noise that's it, time to replace the fan

>>56176834
If you play FPS games = 144hz 1080p

>>56176871
Should add, make sure your card supports DVI-D? (The one which can go as high as 144hz) as the BenQ I discovered has no Displayports, luckily these 480s came with one, that's if you choose this model BenQ, although it's an older model now, and I'd personally say it's worth waiting for a sale, so you can get a 144hz 1440p

I wanted to do this to my Phantom. Alas I don't think I ever will.

Also considering dropping my 980's for a single 1060. SLI sucks. 4 GB VRAM sucks. 1080 TI will be $200 more than it should be for over a year from now, it won't have HBM2 anyway and likely won't be driving 4K ultra at a perfect 60 frames.

Forgot pic, fuck.

I really don't know what to do anymore. I figure I'll just stick with my meme 80's until the 1180ti or whenever Nvidia has an HBM2 consumer option.

Gah, how idiotic. Really.

I have 970's in SLI and I wouldn't settle for anything less than a 1080. Two 980's to a single 1060 is really silly and a straight downgrade.

In optimal scenarios, sure. But there are a few cases where the 1060 beats out a 980 ever so slightly. SLI support is abysmal, so there's times where I actually have negative scaling.

Guess I'll just wait. Ugh. 1070 and 1080 won't have sensical pricing until Vega comes out. 1080 TI will be $800 for the foreseeable future and instantly be btfo by Volta. I want to upgrade but I just can't justify it.

Clear or red?

>>56182378
Clear looks better than your red. That ref looks really terrible, though that could just be the bad lighting.

>>56180868
i'll tell you a story of how i refilled mine
>1 fucking 1/4 connection on top
>gotta have one fucking tube just hanging loosely inside my pc while i have pump going
>squirt shit everywhere
>restart pc 100 times to get enough air out so i can fill the rest of the fluid i drained.
>cancerous shit like that
>1/10 story skills

>>56180950
thanks, i feel bad for it myself.
gay green thing just stores games i never play tho.
gayman shit is on my 500gb SSD and all my series/movies is on my server with a 3tb WD Red.

>>56182378
on the pic the clear fits your build waaaaay better, might be lighting as >>56182489 said but idk.
i'd recommend EK pastel even though it clogs your shit, looks way 2 good mayne.
