I traded it from my friend for, I think I ended up buying him a shitty Corsair case for the entire build sans the GPU and drives and that one odd green fan. I think I came out ahead. What a total shit box. Original plans were to install a fuckload of different OSes on it and just USB boot or whatever different linux distros and stick Vista on the 250 and XP on one of the 40s.

and then an HP barebones I'm restoring for some reason.

Friend gave me a pair of them in like 2010 or so and it was 5 years old then. Said I could try to fix it if I want or take both PCs and try to make a good one yeah whatever I don't care basically just trying to get rid of it. Literally did not touch them until yesterday when I decided to boot this guy up and it went straight into XP then BSOD, bad RAM stick. Plopped in 3GB of DDR2 I had lying around and replaced all 3 DIMMs from 2GB. New CMOS battery, new thermal grease, dusted out, wiped the drive and reinstalled XP and drivers, flashed up the BIOS to the 2009 revision and we're good to go. Working on getting updates. Also it's a P4 machine, I got a brand new Pentium D 945 coming in the mail I got off of Ebay for a few bucks (literally a few) to upgrade the P4 630. Tried a Core 2 Duo but HP's BIOS doesn't support that CPU so I'm stuck with the 945 when it gets here.

fuck why am I even bothering with this damn thing. I have a really nice shitty PC now.

5/5 boots into XP just not done yet.

OP here. After taking apart the ancient HP and my computer I realized that the backplate for the motherboard on the HP is part of the case, like it doesn't pop out. Kind of a let down because it would have been a much better fit for my mobo. Oh well, doing a full rebuild in two months. New mobo, case, cooling, maybe gpu, maybe ram because i want dat 4266mhz.
>>58445586

>>58445546
Every time I see that fucking GPU i cringe at the though of how much nicer it is than my 1060. Pic related is the fucking heatsink that was on my $250 gpu. That's actually it. A fan goes on top.
>>58445331
I mean a 7700k at 4.9-5.1ghz and some good ddr4 would be a huge upgrade. Not needed for like 60fps games though, only 144/240hz is gonna be cpu bound on a 2500k. I like the blue.

>Amiibos are a good idea. I wanted a little figure to put in my computer but I don't actually watch anime so I didn't know what to use. Also I like your stacked HDD bays, aesthetic.
Yarn Yoshi is the best amiibo, but the matching pair is neat too. Shame about Zelda's shoddy paintjob, though.

I used to have the HDD cages stacked on top of each other, but this resulted in >>a lot<< of vibration noise. The 750D has literally no noise dampening or vibration dampening material, it's a bit disappointing.
Similarly it's a bit disappointing that the 5.25" cage is riveted onto the frame, even though it doesn't appear to be structurally important.

>>58446282
Why don't you move her over so her head is holding up the GPU to stop it from sagging so badly?

Fell for the tempered meme

So same size shit anyway I guess but the cable management is awful with SSD cages in the back

>>58446212
In terms of sheer performance no. I get around the same temps in more demanding titles, like The Witcher 3 but in less demanding titles I haven't seen it go above 75°C and this is @1440p. The real benefit comes from the noise reduction and as I'm a bit of a quiet freak this was a big factor for me. For lower temps aio cooling is the way to go.

>>58446432
Oh those are in an awkward spot, this case puts the ssds in the back as well but I don't think the get in the way too much.

>>58446704
Well with this "finfet wall" or whatever it is that keeps pascal at 2150mhz with next to no scaling past that even with hard-modded cards there isn't much fun to be had with cooling solutions. I "installed" an AIO on my 1060, that is wedged it onto the chip, and it was dead silent at 50c at 2150mhz. Tons of thermal headroom, but if it went 1mhz higher it crashed instantly. This isn't unique to my card either, every single gtx except possibly the Galax HOF 1060 exhibits this behavior. Someone hooked up an EVGA e-power to a 1060 so he could use whatever voltage he wanted, put it under water, and got to... 2200mhz. lol. So when I do my rebuild I'm considering going with air on the cheapest 1070 I can find. Won't have to worry about pumps burning out and it makes no difference for OC.
I was just curious about your cooler specifically because it looks really unique but not all that better than most partner cards. I can imagine that the noctua's are WAY quieter than those fucking jet engine dc fans on gpus.

>>58446758
Ok well for pascal it might be good as they do run noticeably cooler already. I have a 980ti and this keeps it in check but as I said, it depends on the title. Witcher 3 all the way up to 84°C compared to say under 70°C in GTA 5. Also I'm not 100% on this but I think the orientation of my case hurts performance a bit, it might do better in a standard layout. I want to see what it will do in a generation or two when cards get even more efficient.

>solid proof that you're not 14.
yes I'm 23 i hope I don't seem 14 lol. Still live at home but whatever.

Two monitors. One is a vertical ASUS 24" 1080p 60Hz which was upgraded to the main one which is an ASUS 27" 144Hz 1440p Freesync boyo. MG278Q. Both on arms that I'm not super happy with. Need a new desk and chair too, that's why my cable management sucks because I'm planning on upgrading soon. It was the only monitor I could find with those specs that wasn't shitty looking. Yes it's TN but it's a good TN, 1ms response time too over the other Asus' 2ms. Figured if I'm going to upgrade I might as well upgrade. Now I'm pretty much limited by my 8350. Zen can't come soon enough. But the 8350 will make a great server CPU with all dem coars.
>fuck
Don't give me too much credit there's no OS on any of that shit on that PC. I have literally no idea what the fuck to do with it.
>>58447026
>1000w
Was buying my next build in pieces. Was planning on a dual 490 Vega and Zen build (hence the massive cooler on a non-overclocked 8350 and the dual card capable GPU bolster) I did HAVE the 8350 clocked up to 4.5 stable but I dialed it back cause the pre-post shit when running overclocked is weird on Gigabyte boards and I didn't want to start/stop all my drives twice every time I turn on the PC.
>SSD placement is awesome
Literally no other good place to put it tbqh There's a 1TB black hiding buried under the top.."attic?" part for main storage. A 600W Silverstone SFX powers the rig. Really need some better cooling but I don't want to tear up the original case.

>>58447026
>is that PSU fucking chrome?
Also yes, it is.
Only 450W and I don't know if I've heard of the maker (forget what it is right now) they printed the fucking spec label on top of the PSU and there are THREE damn fans in the fucker. All blue LED and there's a blue side panel window to the PSU.
It's kind of shit but at the same time I think it might be one of my favorite PC components I have.
If you couldn't tell I have a huge hard on for like 07-10 super gaudy "Side panel windows are still novel" era hardware.

You forgot to mention use case. Some of the asrock boards can OC locked kaby like chips. Turning the i3 7100 into the $200 i3, the i5 7400 into the 7600k, etc. Outside of connectivity the main differences are CPu and memory overclock potential, and aesthetics like the RGB LED header and shit. If you don't have an external DAC then onboard audio might be a concern.

make sure that it actually is ATX standard size. I know lots of motherboard manufacturers make them shorter, thus bending extremely easy when connecting the 24pin cord because there is no motherboard stand-off at the edge.

Take a look at my motherboard here, it was listed as ATX but it's almost an inch shorter.

Modular PSU.
Cable Management oriented case.
Having sleeved cable is usually easier to work with instead of the default rubber.
Cable comb/velcro/zip tie
Time and patience
As for the power button cable use a sharpie or even some tape to make them look black.
You can look at my guts >>58445331
Bottom right you can easily see that mine are taped

>that one intake fan on the bottom
Why?

>>58455673
oops meant for >>58455630 and >>58453686
My big thing is to just always make as much use of the routing holes as possible, use lots of tiedowns (twist ties > zip ties if you are like me and suck at it) PLAN OUT where you are going to put the cables instead of just doing it. My build is >>58455067 which isn't perfect, but I'm a blithering idiot and can make it look half decent.
Also some cases just don't have good cable management potential and you kind of just have to jurry rig something that werks.

>>58455695
I don't really know what the problem is but dang, your system is old as FUCK.
If the problem is probably the graphics card, try a different graphics card to see if it works? If you take it to a local PC repair shop they may just let you use one to test boot. I did that once. That's as much as i'm willing to help because /g/ isn't your personal tech support.

>>58445331
ever try reversing your fan intakes/outake?
something doesn't sit right with me when using warm case exhaust air as a means to cool your rad
even with 2-4 intake fans your nb/sb, vrms, ram, the socket/cpu itself, gpu, drives, will be warming the ambient case temp pretty hard

>>58455698
There's 3 intake fans. The 2 on the front are hidden by the chassis.

I was concerned about heat stagnating @ the bottom, so I added that intake.

>>58449788
Just taking it for a walk.

>>58456170
seems fine desu. I wouldnt want all those hard drives getting hot. Wtf is up with those video cards though?
Also what's the purpose of this machine? Im going to assume video editing because beefy cpu cooler + many hard drives and wimpy gpu's.

>>58457686
>Wtf is up with those video cards though?

The 950 on top is purely for the host OS.

The bottom is a 970, which is a dual-purpose CUDA grinder / 3D VM passthrough card. The host OS runs Linux.

>Also what's the purpose of this machine? Im going to assume video editing because beefy cpu cooler + many hard drives and wimpy gpu's.

It's my home workstation. I use lots of concurrent VMs & need to rebuild software regularly, so I use a 6800K @ 4.6GHz w/ 64G of RAM.

The HDDs are in RAID10 & are multi-purpose; They house my VMs, archived media, and I also process some business data here before archiving it to The Cloud™.

The CPU cooler is because I was planning on overclocking it from the start. Call me old fashioned, but I don't like getting water near my $3k box.

>>58461226
Does that brace actually work properly?

>>58461177
No it isn't.
>>58461114
It's a Cooler Master accessory. $15 bucks at MicroCenter.
Here's the SKU
MCA-0005-KUH00
Description is "MasterAccessory Universal VGA Holder for all size tower chassis"

Works breddy well.

>>58461314
thnx anon

>>58461246
Yup. It's just rigid plastic. It comes with adhesive backed rubber feet that you can place exactly where you need on the brace so that your card gets the exact support it needs. I recommend it if you don't feel like dyi-ing a brace.

>>58461226
Probably my favorite in here so far. Nice, simple, clean. Is that the Define Mini C?

Anyone here reccomend me an itx case where it isn't mostly restricted to a blower style gpu and can fit a 1080? Want to move from atx to itx, but not gonna replace my current 1080 for a refrence blower card.

>>58460777
It's ok your 1080 will provide plenty of lighting when it explodes

>>58461568

yes it is.

How much smaller is it compared to a normal atx chasis? Debating between going matx or itx.

It's an Atlas Graphics Card Brace Support

>>58461936
I used to have 24GB but decided the newer CPUs would do me more good than the extra RAM. Might upgrade later but have bigger things to worry about at the moment.

Nice except for

Jesus why

>>58462006
I guess that makes sense
you went with the wrong board though, ECC DDR3 is stupid cheap on ebay

>>58461964

Hard for me to say. I've not worked with a full ATX case. I can say that I initially ordered a Define S but returned it when I saw how big it was. I didn't have the space for it. The mini c, on the other hand, is perfect for my needs.

hey guys, actually considering a build with a pretty high bottomline
i7-5820k
MSI X99A Godlike Gaming Carbon
GTX 1080, dont know which one, considering EVGA Sea Hawk hybrid or X
Fractal R5 Define
Corsair CX750M
Corsair Cooling 110i GT for overclocking possibilites
SSD not sure which type, gotta look that shit up, boottime prob gonna be same anyways

my only confusion is that the 5820k memory controller is set at 2133mhz, would it be responsible to overclock that shit to 3000mhz, or just got with ram with 2133 or 2400 mhz with low CAS latency and overclock it to 2666 or 2800 mhz ?

Motherboard should allow for greater overclock possibilites in the future

You absolute cuck

>>58462183
no confirmed date for 1080ti, and why u hating on my motherboard and CPU, that shit is great, also I love minimalism, so thats why I go with fractal, plus it allows for great customizability

>>58462167
I was craving a new build anyway. My Corsair 700D was getting old, really wanted the 760T. The custom loop was getting old, really wanted to break out the old Zalmans. I'd just bought the 980 Ti, NewEgg was running a deal on the board, and the CPUs easily paid for themselves.

It took a lot of factors for me to justify it.

They're alright. I used to have a Dimension 9150, iirc with 2GB RAM, a 3 GHz Pentium 4, and a 7800 GTX, was a fine machine.

>They look like they were designed to be put in a server board build.
Industrial style design. Hard to find modern coolers that fit in. Loved the N520, love my Zalman 9500 AM2s. Liked the HP Z800 coolers, but haven't found too many others I'd be thrilled to use.

>>58463349
Amazon and other webshops use the exact same shipping services to ship to you as the manufacturers do to ship to them. Packaging is there for a reason, that reason being to ensure that shit won't get fucked up during shipping.

>>58463263
dual tower coolers. Your 212 evo is a degree or 2 cooler than my nh-d9l but that's because it's a bit larger.

>>58455330
This anon's nh-d15 is definitely going to be much better cooler than both.
