im planning on moving to a new case soon so that could be on the cards, or a decent AIO as im a lazy bastard. I saw someone go from a H50 on a 930 1.4v to a Swiftech H220 and load temps dropped from 88c to 57c which. At 4.4 1.45v I was throttling and shutting down with IBT but if I could get the temps under control I could probably get a solid 4.5.

I've been thinking of picking up 24GB of ECC memory as I've seen people running it with Xeon/X58 boards plus the price of 24GB ECC is roughly similar to what I could sell my 12GB current RAM for. Slightly lower speed (1333mhz vs 1600mhz) but I feel double the capacity would make up for it. Slightly overkill but hey I'd only have to chuck in a tenner or so.

What case is that?

It looks nice and fairly compact inside, and it also has a vertical PCI slot? (Which you're not using, and instead sucking hot air off your GPU to feed through the CPU heatsink)

Also replace your PSU and manage your cables better, ty.

>>58974679
I'm not sure what the point whould be in sacrificing performance (mostly by limiting base clock options that low ram speed) for more ram when you already have 12gb, do you really need more?
If so, why don't you just add another 12gb set?
I'm not sure, but I think ECC is lower performance than normal also on the same speed..
The H220 I've heard is decent too :)

>>58976295
The case is a Cooler master HAF 922 if I remember correctly. It is well designed, pretty compact but still has all the nice features of the bigger HAF models. Very good air flow also.

It has a vertical exp slot, but only a single and my card is dual. As you see the overclock I have is laughably low, so the cpu cooler getting any hot air is not a problem. Anyway this is a temporary setup (until zen), my normal case is a much smaller fractal m-atx with watercooling on the gpu and cpu. Pic related.

Why replace my psu? They got fairly good reviews, and I got it for the price of a v750.
Psu prices here in Norway is fucking insane nowadays so its a no-go nonetheless.

And no, I won't manage my cables :)
MAYBE when I get zen.

Because you have a 1000W PSU that you're only drawing like 150watts from at load, and like 40watts at idle, so it's probably like 85% efficient at load and like 65% at idle.

You don't want your PSU capacity to be much more than double your load draw.

>>58964812

Is that a p400 case?

>>58976914
>so it's probably like 85% efficient at load and like 65% at idle.

Well it's not like I "need" 24GB but some future proofing (ironic as I'm on LGA1366) would be solid and it's nice to have. A 12GB set of standard RAM would be costly as opposed to ECC memory which I can buy for nearly the same price as selling my current kit for. I looked up a few benchmarks and 1333 ECC vs 1600 standard is a margin of 1-2% which I could live with plus I've seen some people getting tiny marginal OC's up to 1600 on ECC so never say never :P

Tried to take better photo and ended up taking a worse one but I'll sort that and the awful bundle of cables at the bottom this weekend.

Yes, moron

Why would you not get a 4th stick to begin with so you can run them dual channel? Why would you have 4 to begin with?

That's some shit system planning, ending up with 3 sticks of the same type.

File: taauxdns8ohndxsa.jpg (17KB, 344x344px) Image search: [Google]

17KB, 344x344px

>>58978568

3 sticks in dual channel would revert to single channel. The 4th stick was incompatible with i7 920 due to some strange X58 error I never solved (pretty sure it was to do with the imc on the 920), triple channel has worked fine ever since and the difference between dual/triple channel is marginal at best.

>>58978667
RMA it

>>58978717

The stick or the chip? I sold the chip when I got the 920 and gave the stick away as I didn't need it plus I don't think I could RMA 5/6 year old RAM.

>>58978756

*I meant got the x5650, too tired.

>>58978568
>>58978667
Are you niggers trolling or what?

Triple channel is the way to go on 1366, with only dual channel you lose bandwith.

>>58978320
Nice SSDs and PSU.
Shame about the uggo cheapshit cooler tho.

>>58978785

The GAEX58UD5 supposedly supports 4 sticks in triple channel but I never got that to work with the 920.

>>58978803
You whould probably have to loosen the timings a good deal, and there may be some specific settings other than that also.. My guess is vtt whould need to be very high too.

I whould just drop messing with the ram that much, really.. If 12gb is enough (probaably gonna last you for years unless you do some really ram demanding stuff)
The benefit of having 24gb when 12gb is enough, is zero. Also remember it stresses the imc more, and you may need more vtt which makes the cpu run hotter.

If I wanted to do something ram-wise on your rig, I'd read up on how those sticks you got overclocks and then try it out. Or get a faster 12gb set and sell you current (tho not really worth it)

That's pretty much the smallest and slimmest that you can game on.

But I'm looking at going from a Corsair 500R to a Micro-ATX case. Maybe a PC-06.

I want something slim where I can mount a custom 250-400mm radiator and fan on the back side of it as the only fan in the whole system.

>>58980385
Wouldnt you need a water cooling system for small builds? I dont want to put water anywhere near my pc. I dont want to switch my Hyper 212 evo because im happy with it

>>58980427
I was going to use some refrigerant passively without a pump. I want something almost completely silent without the size and weight of something completely passive.

But air cooled Sentry or PC-05 cases are perfectly fine. Yeah they'll have higher temps under load, but they still cool low enough for stock clocks of most hardware.

Bottom fan is intake and helps cool the HDD stack along with the front fans. Power supply is fully passive and never spins up even under max system load, so its fan direction is inconsequential.

Silverstone FT05

>>58982912
It's a water cooling case I think. Define nano S, it looks like.

But you should not be using it for air cooling like >>58982351 is because the heat pipes won't distribute over the heat sink correctly at that orientation.
GPU heatpipes are pretty much always orientated for the GPU to either be facing down, or slotted down in a PCI slot.
When you're using a waterblock, orientation doesn't matter like that.

>>58983021

>>58963009

>>58982351
>>58983021
its one of the silverstone raven cases
They're designed to have the air come up from the bottom of the case and exhaust out the top to take advantage of convection cooling, and they're some of the nicest cases for aircooling for a lot of reasons
heatpipe efficiency or not, i bet this anon's rig is quieter and cooler than 95% of the other air cooling rigs on here

>>58984438
Following convection is kind of a meme. It leaves the top open for dust and having all the I/O out the top is stupid.

>>58984568
its not the convection its the unobstructed airflow and the short distance it has to travel, coupled with 2 relatively large (180mm), high performance fans
its a really nice product, albeit a bit niche

Dust in the power supply caught fire earlier this week, so i'm swapping out the PSU for something like a AX1500i so I don't need dual PSUs anymore.

>>58985088
Keep it clean so you don't kill it again.

>>58985104
I've removed it and blown all the dust out of it, and it seems okay. I still wouldn't reinstall it though, and maybe use it on something less power-usage heavy.
8 years of almost 24/7 use with little to no maintenance is rather impressive though, especially since it was run almost at it's full capacity the whole time.

>>58985088
nice are flow

>>58985130
If it legitimately caught fire, I would just throw it out. I had an Intel SSD catch fire in a build right by the SATA connector once. Not sure if it was the SSD or the PSU, but either way it affected the entire build basically.

It killed the motherboard, the SSD, the PSU, a different drive, and though the GPU still runs it has random crashes at times. The only part I don't know if survived or not was the CPU.

I know the wiring is shit. I promise I'll redo it all if I ever get a new case. It's actually waaaaay better than what it looked like before I upgraded the PSU. Also I know the CPU fan is in pull configuration but the RAM blocks it a bit on the other side. I ran tests with both and saw no difference in temp anyway. And lastly, yes, my SSDs are just dangling. I just never got around to properly mounting them. Fuck it.

I love how the thread is full of people that don't know how heatpipes work, and you don't either so what you get pissed off at is lights.

>and having all the I/O out the top is stupid.

I never understood this mindset. Having the I/O come out the top is a lot more convenient than having to squeeze behind the back.

Why are you using such ancient hardware in such a nice case?

It does when you use a blower style card.

lots of good hardware. but shit screen and shit peripherals. but that will change in due time. it's all an evolution.

It has nothing to do with video card, or CPU brands. Shit looks like it came from 2006

>>58970653
Same. Currently using 1556 i5 750 waiting for the 1600X though

>>58998273
Even without a blower. My msi 980 ti is cooled just fine in my FT05.

>>58984568
except it's not. as some one else said, the big fans blowing air a relatively short distance along with positive pressure has given me the best case I've ever used. The only case that came this close was the fractal arc midi r2 and that need more fans and it had an open top as well.

>>58996706
I'd argue differently. Out of all the cases I've owned this my fortress has had the best thermals to noise ratio.>>58997763

They're 970s, friend.
