There have been yellow and orange configs as well if that's more your preference.

id take not having skunkworks over being a balding geriatric

>>58758140
That's certainly better. White on black would probably look the best though

>>58758220

Boring.

Why the fuck would you need TWO thicc 480 rads for?

>>58758229

One is for the CPU, the other is for the graphics cards. They're on separate loops.

But "need" has nothing to do with it. The system is designed to be as obnoxiously overkill as possible.

>>58757625
I'd rather have his 370z

That's right, because I didn't build it. If I didn't build it, I don't want it. I already have a custom loop. If there's anything in that system that I want but can't currently do, then I just have to git gud. The only thing I'm slightly jelly about is that I can't afford X99 or SLI Titan XPs.

How fucking cold do you need your computer to be?

>tfw no hard drives
also that shit is really starting to look chintzy

>>58758634
It's not about extra cooling at that point. It's about being able to run the fans at basically silent levels.

>>58758664
At that much volume and all that radiator you could get away with no fans.

>>58758788
Not likely. You'd be heat soaked fairly quickly without fans, because the heat would have nowhere to go. Rads made for passive use are much larger and have giant gaps between the fins to allow air to circulate.

>>58758942
If I had a rig that large I'd test it. Ambient room air flow should be just enough to kick it over the line for the CPU. Because the rad being mounted on to allows the heat to rise createing it's own flow. The GPU's would only need a small fan placed back in the closet/trunk/base whatever it's called. To give small air flow over a large space. If it was single it might be able to function without a fan.

You're missing the point idiot.

I really, really doubt it. If I were looking to passively cool a rig like that, this is what I'd use. It's full copper, almost a meter tall, and if you were to choose to apply fans directly to the fins to improve performance, it can take 24x140mm fans. Even then, I'm not sure if it could do it on it's own of if I'd have to put a 180mm fan in the bottom.

It's less about not having enough money to buy a five thousand dollar system and more about not being able to afford to spend five thousand dollars on such a luxury item.

It's just colour co-ordinating now, like lego. Everything that fits together has a plethora of styles, colours and options to choose from.

There is nothing to it but checking boxes on an order form and putting it together, the hardest part is measuring bends. Measuring bends! Fuck me.

I've passively cooled (no fans) my 3770k for the last year in the bottom of a TJ07 on a 360x45mm rad. Never breaks 50c at 4.5 with 26c ambients.

You're mostly correct in that heat soak is an issue with the addition of 400w~ of GPU, but you can run most case fans as exhaust and build neg pressure to coax some 'passive' intake across the rads.

I'm not the best, I'm not the worst, but I know what I'm talking about. That aquacomputer tower would work (more than) fine with a small tube up top to encourage a more stable convection.

how about silver black and gray

>>58760421
Sure, but look around.
/g/ used to be so anti rice, that even minimalism was hipster bullshit passing as a different kind of rice. Now keyboard threads are literally run by RGB, guts threads are CCT and LED strips out the ass. I think most normie fags think so long as there are colours, it's the best shit in town.

>>58760462
I just like my shit to look pretty. The fact that everything these days is being made almost totally color neutral means that you no longer have to put any effort into having a well coordinated guts.

>$4500 is a lot of money
Wew lad.

After having spent $2000 on a PC I can honestly say the price : worth ratio beyond 1200 quickly flatlines. Pretty much all the money you're spending past that point is redundancy or aesthetics. There's better things I could do with $5000 than blow it on a PC that will never be utilized to its "worth".

>>58757625
>*Twirls ironic moustache*

>>58760538
Colour neutral is great, but then we get the same old boring gut-
Hmm. I see there is a catch 22 going on here.

>>58760810
I was more bringing it up as a way to demonstrate that it's easier than ever to get a coordinated rig, with little to no chance of having to spend more money to do it than you would to just buy parts without paying attention to looks. Paying more for the same performance was really the only leg the anti-rice crowd ever had to stand on, and that's been kicked out from under them.

Also: Yes, things get samey, but it's still a better version of samey than EVERYTHING RED AND BLACK ALL THE TIME.

Even with all the RGB memes around, it still depends on what colours you want.
Personally, I don't want LEDs. I do want plain black with some white accents here and there.
My options, this in mind ? MSI Krait Edition motherboards and their Armor graphics cards, which unfortunately have some of the ugliest shrouds I've seen. It's very difficult to find a PSU that matches this, and I need to buy new nuts to mount my CPU block with just so I can paint them matte white, and I think I'm going to plasti dip the shroud on my next graphics card.

Moral of the story: White on black is a difficult colour scheme.

>>58761130
I do because I carry my PC

>>58761157
>MSI Krait Edition motherboards
Don't forget Asus and what they're now calling the Prime series mobos. Before they were just the ones that didn't fall into the ROG/TUF/Strix branding, but that still covers the majority of their boards on X99, Z170, and Z270.
>Armor graphics cards, which unfortunately have some of the ugliest shrouds I've seen
Galax.

But white is considered a neutral color as well.

>>58761240
Those Prime boards go overboard on the white and have gaudy grey heatsinks as well. I know it's nitpicky as hell, but that's sort of half the point. I know about Galax but, similarly, too much white.

I know white is a neutral colour, but when manufacturers go for colour neutral they tend to either go full black or black+grey+white, neither of which I want. Pic related, on the other hand.

Quite frankly, an ITX system with a 7700K and GTX1080 or Titan XP would already offer 90% of the performance of SkunkWorks, because 'muh cores' barely adds to performance even in some highly-threaded programs, overclocks don't matter much on modern chips (only adds heat), and there's no real reason to have SLI in 2017 for any reason. A single Titan can do 4K at 60 just fine if you're so desperate.

>>58761462
4K is not the be-all and end-all. I'm personally a fan of triple monitor setups, and a single Titan XP would have trouble driving a 7680x1440 144Hz setup on it's own. Even in SLI, a 11520x2160 setup is still unreasonable to drive to 60Hz without reducing graphical quality.

Or you could just run one of these outside your room (I plan on running mine outside my house, and running tube through a gap in my window, so noise isn't an issue), have no need for radiators at all (or even case fans if you block everything in your build)...and run your entire loop at 12-14C, to stay above ambient and allay condensation...or if you are mad ni/g/gerish, insulate everything (including the tubing) and mod your chiller to run at -10c (regas it with r403 for even lower temps), and then pump absurd amounts of volts into your CPU and GPU and OC the them to high hell.

I'm just waiting on Zen, to see if the SR3 can keep up with a 7700K in ST and IPC when both are heavily OC'ed, and then I will go with whichever is the best, and chill it.

>>58762088
>12-14C
>above ambient
Anon, would you happen to be an American? 14 is well below the average room temperature (~21 degrees)

>>58762131
That was a rough figure thrown out there, its all dependent on humidity levels where you are situated, you go by the dew-point...on average though, setting a chiller to 14C, shouldn't form condensation on the block, fittings, or tubing..but I suppose one could make a controller out of an arduino relatively easily...I plan on insulating all of my components excessively, regassing the compressor in the chiller with r403, modding the wiring and having it run at -10 or below...and I'm Australian, not American.

>>58762190
>I'm Australian, not American.
My bad. I just assumed you weren't overly familiar with the metric system, like those "patriotic" morons that still cling to Imperial measurements.
