/guts/ Last thread died. Post your guts. Just got a Define r5

Every guts thread dies, always.
It's the same 10-15 people posting.
It's the same critiques, none of which ever get fixed by the people being critiqued and once those 10 get buttmad, the thread dies.

New thread, might as well post. I've got some ideas on how to upgrade/change the loop when I do my next upgrade, so I'll see what people think.
First of all, I'm looking at going from clear purple to solid red as my next colour. Currently have Mayhems aurora in there, wouldn't be adding it to a solid colour.
Secondly, the loop goes the wrong way around, realistically. I'd be looking to fix that by making it go from pump->GPU->CPU->rad (top)->rad (front)->RES.
On a third point, I'm considering moving to hardline tubing for the pump->GPU->CPU->rad (top) but leaving the soft tubing for rad->rad->res.
Lastly, I'm considering a bigger reservoir. The current size is 140mm but I reckon I could fit a 250mm reservoir with about 1cm or so so room. Not sure whether I'd want to leave it so tight, but its an option. Would make use of the space that I'm not currently using for certain, though I can't lower the pump any further, so its not something I'm certain about yet.
Anyone have any suggestions to my ideas?
>Inb4 black and red
Not trying to go for anything edgy, but it'd fit the AMD Fury X in that regard and my fiancee actually came up with the idea (same with the purple) independently from me, which is cool since I was thinking about it myself.

Baby blue would be interesting, but I don't think it'd really go with the rest of the internals. Don't want green because I see it as both the 'LELELE TOXICCC' theme which I personally hate more than red/black and because of Nvidia (as petty as it sounds, I've seen WAY too many Nvidia themed rigs)

Could go for a thick/solid purple, but I do want a change.

>>56494732
Update your Speccy, m8. It'll fix that i3/i5/i7 crap.

>>56495893
Just go with the purple. I have purple led fans with a white case with black accents.

>>56495893
Oh, another thing I am 100% gonna be doing: I gotta add LED strips to the case.
The worst thing about the current loop is that the water is a DEEP purple, but because of poor lighting into the case, it just doesn't show off how beautiful it is.
With a light shining into it, you can really see how deep the colour is and it looks amazing.

Apparently /sqt/ can't answer cooling/overclocking questions, so I thought I'd try here instead.

How's this for a 360mm radiator with fans staying below 1100 rpm ?
The CPU is a 4690k overclocked to 4.45 GHz at 1.260 vcore. It was occasionally spiking up to 75-77C for a second at times, but mostly stayed around the 65C mark. Are spikes like that normal on water ?

>>56496497
My 6700k used to do the same thing then it just stopped
Had it at 4.5 1.295V
No Idea if it's "normal" but it's happened to me too if that makes you feel any better.

>>56496497
Yes, its completely normal for a CPU to spike. Watercooling doesn't nullify electric surges or sudden use increase (which causes a spike in heat as CPU usage hits 100%). What it does is keeps the average maximum down.
In theory, spikes of 99c on even the beefiest of water cooling solutions is possible.

Sounds absolutely fine to me.

>>56496497
Spikes are fine, as long as the CPU isn't running at a constant 80C then you're fine.

Now you're talking

>>56496497
I think you're fine, remember aida 64 is a stress test not a benchmark. Stress tests are designed to throw large amounts of incoherent shit at your CPU that you will really never see under normal scenarios. Simply speaking, if it can survive that it can survive anything, that's the point.

>>56496738
Good to hear, I was mostly wondering if the temps are too high for this thing, though.
With these kinds of setups I always see people with temperatures below 60, sometimes even in the 40s, but they never seem to mention fan speeds or voltages, so I wasn't not sure if everything is right here.
It'd be nice to have something to compare to properly.

>>56496888
This is true. AIDA64 also results in strangely high temperatures even for a stress test.

On a slightly different note, I can barely hear the fans spin up at this low RPM, so that's nice. Thing runs nice and quiet under load after I've tweaked my fan curves a bit.

>>56497520
Is that a RX480? Looks shorter than the regular card

>>56497520
480/10
Seriously though probably... 8/10, I don't get why they didn't make a backplate standard for it. It looks so lovely other than that. Good move with getting the reference edition. Any plans to upgrade that loop to include the 480? I mean, it'd be stupid to build a whole loop just for the 480+CPU, but seeing as you already have a loop, it wouldn't be much of a price difference and you could definitely benefit temp wise.

It doesn't reach 10/10 because of the fact its only the CPU on the loop with such a fat rad to go with it, but its still damn nice. At least its clean and efficient use of the SFF.

>>56498317

I guess I should clear that up - I bought the reference 480 (bout 20 dollarydoos cheaper than normal) as a place holder for the 490, which I plan to include in the loop. Also gonna add a set a black cablemods.

I'm >>56495893 and that's a Fury X on my loop, so while I don't think I can justify a 490, I'm definitely interested to see how it'll turn out.
Definitely anticipating the 590 however. Can't wait to see what it brings to the table.

>>56498471
Upgrading from a really old PC that had an HD 7850, so it's a huge improvement for me.

Also for your system, clear purple suits it pretty well imo. Red might be too full on.

>>56494236
Set your GPU LED to green to match that PSU

>>56498642
That's true, red would be a very strong colour. I guess adding the LED's I mentioned in a later post could be what I really need to make it shine through properly.
It's a damn shame because I expected more visual feedback from the Mayhems + purple, but because its so dark its hardly visible.

And god, I know the feeling. I went from a GT240 (I think) to a HD6770 to a HD7950 and then to my Fury X. The jump between the 6770 and 7950 was technically bigger than the 7950 -> Fury X, and by the gods was it so much nicer, but playing with my Fury X at 2560x1440~144hz Freesync enabled is just pure love.
Even if I don't achieve 100fps, getting over 60 is bloody nice - and the Freesync enabled part of it makes it all the better.
To be honest, that's why I moved onto the Fury X, because my 7950 obviously didn't support FS and I wanted to utilise it.

>>56499146
For the most part, yeah. I mean sure, it struggles on Fo4 when I go to inner Boston if I've not made sure goyworks effects are turned off, but generally its a bloody great card.
The one thing to consider is that I don't run at everything maxed out regardless though. I'm very willing to turn down some settings here & there if the differences aren't noticeable when actually playing and not just trying to find flaws - or turn down settings if the game chugs otherwise.

I'd much rather have a pretty looking game that isn't maxed out for every possible setting but runs at a nice 60 - 70fps, than I would a game that looks god damn beautiful but only runs at 30fps.

not to be rude but i'm not entirely sure how exactly you're concerned for the gpu being sideways?
it is under significantly less stress in the sideways position than it would be were it in the normal horizontal position, and it even has a backplate on it

perhaps there is something i can learn from

Post some of your previous builds and why you changed or got rid of them?

EK Predator's were leaking for some people and I didn't like the idea of it being over my expensive GPU's. When I got the chance for a refund or exchange I took the refund and got a D15.

SLI was too much heat for air cooled cards even with seven Gentle Typhoon case fans. I sold one GPU as I don't play much AAA games these days anyways.

ATX case was a behemoth in my small apartment. I moved to a Micro-ITX case and mobo.

Concern for the motherboard PCB, not really the GPU.

>>56502934
That would be a nice addition. The RX 480 is a good but slightly less expensive option. A heavy GPU pushing down n it will likely bend it to some degree, unless the case is manufactured to a really nice tolerance and holds the GPU well. Sadly, most aren't. Which is why we see GPU sag everywhere. Luckily for me, I don't really have any. A slight bit on the bottom card, none at all on the top. I think the bottom card sags from the tubing run on it, actually.

>>56503046

>>56503046
>Concern for the motherboard PCB

You're a fucking idiot. Take off that trip.
