Guts thread
Who is preparing their case for Ryzen?
>pic related
>>59088017
me too
Progress on the case/build update so far.
>>59088017
How do you like those, those are the AER fans, right? I've never seen them look as as they do in this picture. Most pictures I've seen they look very washed out.
>>59088055
Fuckin lol'd
>>59088055

>>59088354
I like them. Very quiet and have a lower RPM range then my stock case fans. Pretty expensive but you are paying for the lights and Hue+ connectivity so it is what it is.
Hello /g/uts
>>59089935
So clean just missing that one PCI slot cover
>>59089963
And another fan. Purple one is starting to get noisy. Do you have plans for your guts or just leave them be like that?
>>59088017
Tasteful RGB usage but that Vardar in the exhaust slot wtf
>>59089963
I tried the diy wall mount setup. Looks like ass but I'll probably leave it like that.
>>59089963
If you're going to do an open air wall setup like that at least do it right. Get some sleeved cables and manage them so they're nice and neat. And do something about that PSU and power cable hanging in the air like that. Your wall is where you hang art, not trash. Jesus Christ.
>>59090720
It would be pretty nice if you could manage those PSU cables and put an acrylic piece over everything.
>>59090784
>>59090793
Probably doing this on the cheap and isn't interested in spending any money.
Not sure if I'd rather go with Ryzen or a 35W 7700T
>>59090784
>Derelique my balls
It looks like someone threw spaghetti at the wall to see it stick.
Think I'll replace these Corsair fans with Noctua NF-P14 PWM Redux next month.
Or should I get NF-P14r instead ?
>>59090928
The Ryzen quad cores should go down to the same TDP. If the 1700 is 65W with similar clocks to the 7700T, you can be sure that the quad cores will run with similar TDP and equal or greater performance.
>>59090917
Hah. Impractical but also fucking cool.
>>59091033
That's what I'm expecting, but i'm going to try to wait and see exactly how they act.
If there's no ryzen ITX board with dual M.2 though I'll probably end up just going with the 7700K though, my next case doesn't support anything but M.2 for storage.
>>59090983
I think you should get me more pictures of that cat
I know its not very good going to get rid of intel and go with Ryzen and acutally have it look good.
>>59091304
Okay.
>>59091255
I still can't decide if I want to go with the slick closed black box that makes 0 sound and has great airflow or the meme tempered glass case with RGBs and ok airflow. It looks so pretty.
>>59091322
I wish I had a cat that fuzzy. Good stuff.
>>59091339
Don't let the meme be a dream
I went full trendy recently.
>>59091354
Extremely comfy Norwegian forest cat.
>>59091356
is there actually a good reason to get msi
from my experience their bios is shit and their gpus arent nearly up there with gigabyte and asus
at least they have msi afterburner
>>59091356
I really like that NZXT cooler, too bad it's HUGE
>>59091436
>that thing
>HUGE
You what ?
>>59091356
literally the build I'd be going for except maybe switch the cpu and gpu. How's the case and Hue+? Is the kraken worth it?
>>59091450
I'm >>59090928 , my case is 4.4L and I'm moving to a case that's 4.25L in april.
Assuming that's the X62, just the radiator and fans is 2.5L relatively it's huge.
should be replacing the analog monitors next Tuesday means I can get rid of the 650, then next cheque after that I'll be getting the 1440p rog swift. Then a 1080 after that
>>59091419
Bios has all the overclocking options I would want. Only complaints I have is the fan speed section is a little lacking compared to others. That and the cringey gaymer dragon logo they won't drop.
Almost all the 1070 variants are identical not sure what you mean. This one was the cheapest that had matching colors. $344usd
>>59091461
The case is great for it's price. Only complaints I have are the thumb screws aren't threaded the best and the power button is loose.
Hue+ is ok but I feel like if you want someone will come out with a better implementation of the concept.
Kraken is great. Quietest AIO I have used. It's pricey for the temps it gives but it's by far the nicest looking on the market and is only a degree or two off from the H100iv2.
>>59091505
Well if you compare it to a case like that, everything is going to be huge. The radiator on that X62 isn't even a thick as the fans that are mounted on it, nor does it require more clearance than any other average radiator of that size.
Refer to >>59090983 for an actually huge AIO liquid cooler. Not pictured: Pump and res mounted on the end of the radiator adding up to a total length of about 41cm for the entire radiator assembly.
>>59091580
>That and the cringey gaymer dragon logo they won't drop.
But they replaced it with an angry white snake on Krait Edition boards !
>>59091580
yeah not the options but their layout was a bit tasteless imo
After multiple builds and multiple case switches through the years I'm so fucking sick of radiators. I'm about to stick with air cooling only. Not like I'm going for some OC record or some shit anyway.
>>59091598
You're not wrong, but it's still big to me.
>Spare i5 750 system without a cooler.
What's the cheapest watercooling option that won't leak and short everything out?
>Mum let's her "friends" use half the shed as storage
>There's a beige box and CRT
Could make a sleeper.
>>59091356
>>59091461
I was going to get this sort of setup but turned out of stock and I went with the 460X RGB Glass + H100i V2
Worst fucking decision, the H100i V2 is extremely loud because of the fans and the 460X is much more expensive than the NZXT counterpart + dustfilters are shown off so you will need to clean them frequently.
Main point though stock fans on H100i V2 are fucking loud even on 800 RPM so you end up paying as much as you do for Kraken or more in order to get decent fans.
Get Kraken or maybe EVGA CLC
>>59088055
>ooooo burn
>sorry
>>59091397
omg that looks like a black chantilly I had.
>those wings make me want to build a wheel/loom as a raspberry pi project and make a sweater
>this is why we filter air intakes
>>59091356
Nice one, what GPU cooler is that?
>>59091962
Yeah the Krakens stock fans were so good that I bought an extra set to replace my case fans.
>>59092031
GPU? Its just an out of box MSI GTX 1070
If you meant Cpu its an NZXT Kraken x52
>>59088055
>>59092067
I did mean CPU cooler. Whoops.
is micro atx mobo/case good? I figure if it all fits inside of a micro atx case then why not? Does it affect airflow a lot? I really don't think I'll ever get 2 GPUs in there anyway.
>>59091884
>Could make it a sleeper
We're talking about PCs not rice rockets. Who are you going to catch off guard with a PC in a dated enclosure?
>>59092149
The idea is usually thieves.
I just think they look cool.
>>59092173
If you think they look cool that's all you and go for it and enjoy. As far as thieves. I mean I guess? But with decent hardware you're going to have it hooked up to modern or nice things like monitors etc so I think that would give it away. Not to mention the rest of the things you own that may have more intrinsic value like a TV, phone, tablet, or laptop.
>>59092067
Christ they're expensive
>AUD
How do you control the colored logo?
>>59092266
They are cheaper in the US. Rip :(
Lighting, pump/fan speed curves and monitoring are done through NZXTs app. The app is so-so but I hear it's much better than how it was at launch.
>>59092343
does it only do the HUE+ or can you sync it with your mobo, gpu, potential RGB ram, keyboard, mouse, mouse pad...
>>59092414
I think it's only for Hue+ branded products but I could be wrong. I don't have any other RGB headers on my system.
>>59092433
I don't know how far deep I'll go into this RGB meme but I only have the keyboard so far and I'm loving it. Every day I catch myself mirin. If that retarded rgb mousepad ever goes on sale I might just pick it up.
>>59092451
I plan to go with RGB ambient desk lighting at some point this year. I feel like it's the final form
>>59090928
I suggest the 7700t just for the heat factor
Always get a low power processor with a compact build
>>59092491
those chink ones on aliexpress have the dank remotes that will work with any IR receptor so you can put as many as you want and they're really cheap. Also put them really on the side of the desk or else it'll give this weird "all below/above" effect and it's just a waste.
>>59091255
Is that the define R5? Looks gorgeous
>>59092842
R4, just removed the optical drive bay.
>>59091787
What are the two reservoirs connected to?
What would a loop like this cost?
>>59096110
money
>>59088055
kek
>>59091255
Look at all of that wasted space...sad!
>>59096378
It needs an anime figure in it.
LEDs and windows never cease to get my blood boiling.
Useless, gaudy, self-absorbed garbage.
The world was a better place when most computers were beige or gray boxes, functional, on point, not a /fa/shion show.
>>59096447
>>59091884
Do this then.
>>59096469
It looks tolerable even though I dislike the term "sleeper". It's just a normal looking PC. There should be no special word for it.
>>59096491
Then don't use a special word for it. Pretty sure most beige boxes are standard ATX anyway.
>>59091884
Corsair by a mile.
>>59096110
If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.
If money is an issue at all, you probably can't afford it.
To put it in perspective, entry level custom loops start around 200 dollars. This is for a kit that will only cool your CPU with a single 120mm slim radiator and a cheapo CPU block. These kits are cheaper than buying the parts individually.
Meanwhile, going all out with multiple radiators, nice blocks for both GPU and CPU, hard tubing, Bitspower fittings, and so on, will easily run close to or over 1000 dollaridoos if you're not careful.
>>59096521
>1000 australia-land fun bux
Fuck, why does anyone do it then?
Just a display of wealth?
>>59091356
Hey, same build basically. Is the Hue good?
>>59096641
Why do people spend money on anything ?
Some people do it to get a quiet system. Slap as many radiators in there as they can fit and run fans permanently at 500-800 RPM. Maybe split it into two loops so the pumps don't have to work as hard and be run at lower RPM too. Others do it for the aesthetic. There are performance reasons too, but you see severely diminishing returns here.
Don't be too put off, though. 1000 bucks is pretty high up there on the extreme end. You can put a fine loop together for half that too.

potato camera
>>59096864
I know ;_;
My phone is an original Moto g and I haven't got around to changing it.
>>59092067
My kraken x42 arrived today, I was going to swap the fans out for my noctua ones but reading that im not sure its worth it.
>>59096729
I like it. The colors are vibrant and the software has tons of effects that you could play around with for hours. The software could use some work but overall I would recommend.
>>59097664
Couldn't hurt to try both if you feel like putting the effort in. But the Aer fans are quality so don't get rid of them.
>>59097703
Yep well I just realised my noctuas are 120mm and these are 140 so I will stick with them for now.
>>59088017
I was going to get Ryzen but I already have an overclocked 6700k and I quit my rendering job a weekn ago so literally no need. It's primarily a gaming machine and if I go back into rendering then I'll just build a second PC just for that.
>>59097703
Have you been having any issues with CAM detecting your Kraken? After a reboot mine hasn't been detecting it at all. I don't really want to have to reinstall the software or drivers every time it fails to recognize my AIO.
>>59096447
how do you use anything else than windows? Literally everything I use requires it. It's mostly hassle free desu. I'm always against apple and beats headphones and retarded shit like that and while RGB is kinda obnoxious, I do love the look of it. But the OS? Why go with something that will block me from half the software out there and require most things to take more time?
>>59096447
go to bed, grandpa.
>>59098653
windows =/= Windows
However I do use GNU+Linux exclusively.
>>59091546
What do you do for a living?
>>59096447
Damn it's such a shame that you are being forced to buy a case with a window and rgb. I really feel for you my dude.
>>59099812
I may be a shut in like him but at least I don't spend thousands on garbage
>>59092693
That's what I'm thinking too.
Now I just need to decide if a ~8% performance increase + baby features is worth the $100 over a 6700T
>>59099912
Kaby features*
>>59093241
They're mounted on the back wall. They have integrated D5 pumps on the bottom of them if that's what you mean.
>>59088017
new cooler.
>>59102050
How do you like that case? Ordered one off of amazon to replace my full tower.
>>59102065
p400? its good. some of the thumbscrews were a bit meh when i got them but removing them and putting them back on made it better, if that makes sense. cable management is good, and plenty of space. only potential downside is there are only 2 internal 3.5" hdd slots and you need to get adapters if you want to put more in.
>>59099680
Just got a new job doing rail to truck transloading of chemicals, the last few years I have been working as a railcar loader though, mostly petroleum products.
>>59088017
I might get a 1800x.
My 2600k has bad solder.
Been getting worse and worse
80c on core #1 and #2 while the other 2 are both 50c with a custom loop
Thought maybe it was bad sensors, but I could see the heat marks on the CPU lid when I re installed the TIM.
>>59099878
I think we can all agree that the most important thing here is that you've managed to find a completely irrelevant and nonsensical topic to feel superior about.
>>59090928
why not just get a laptop you insane freak
Was thinking about switching to ryzen for a bit but I'll see how it performs on release. Even as of now I don't really have a use for it. My job mainly uses the Adobe programs and I've never been slowed by my 6700k so it would just be a sidegrade
>>59108250
>supporting Intel's monopoly
can i post if i'm happy with my current computer? i just need new peripherals
>>59091305
I did the same thing with my r9 390 but I used a 240 mm radiator instead
bump with old guts
>>59091255
why did you lay CPU 8pin on motherboard?
it has a hole up there you know, just sleeve rubber thingy down psu cable before trying to push it through
>>59088055
Fucking kek lmfao
Wasn't expecting the spiderwebs
>>59088017
Building a whole new ryzen system, senpai.
OK I've pre-ordered my 1800X - is pic related a decent AIO to use with it? PCPartPicker don't seem to be listing many compatible ones..
>>59114960
ETA: It's the MasterLiquid Pro 280. I've used NZXT in the past but feel like trying something else.
>>59109865
Yeah i was a fool and should have gone with the 240mm looking to replace it with a normal fury or a fury x if possible but first i gotta at least sell this thing.
Phanteks evolv
node 804
Corsair 240
What other matx cases are out there that have room for a decent sized rad and space for a d5/ddc+res?
>>59109590
I'm not going to waste time and money to go switch out my motherboard, CPU, and other components for no benefit in my workload all because "muh intel jew". Not to mention I already bought this 6700k two years ago so the jew already got my money. Literally no point
>>59114230
>MSI
>VENAGEANCE GAYMER RAM
lmao
>>59114960
Every manufacturer will be releasing a refresh of their AIOs for compatibility with AM4, give it a couple weeks.
I don't know anything about the specific one in your pic, but it's a dual radiator so it'll handle a CPU with plenty of overclocking just fine. Whether the pump is a shit is a different matter, go look up reviews or something.
>>59092213
>he doesnt exclusively use old ass crts that no single thief can carry, or want
>>59115437
>triple + dual radiators just for the CPU
Did he run out of money before he got to the GPU block ?
>>59116400
Thanks ark. Yeah I'll wait for other brands to show their new stuff, there's no rush anyway
>>59116048
Vengeance isn't gaymur anon, despite the name. As you can see it's plain black with a small yellow logo..
Far less gaymur than some of the anodised blue with red pulsating LED shit on the market.
