Nice. What clock is your 2600k at? How's that 670 holding up?
I'll be buying a new cooler when Cool Master releases their dual tower MA620P.

De-lidded? What's your OC? How's the meme coole..I mean Noctua NH-D15 handle the 8700k? Also how's that R6? Would you call it a worthy upgrade over the R5?
>4.6Ghz
Very nice. Moderate voltage I hope. Don't want to burn out your chip for no reason. And yea it sucks to see how badly gen 1 Kepler aged. I have my water cooled 670s still. I had them using a custom LN2 BIOS I found online to extend to the voltage ceiling. Was getting 1350mhz on em.

the gpu, psu and ssd were probably the only expensive thing since they were new.
id say ram, mobo and cpu was probably less than $100

why do you need 1000W?
Cooper Bennett
The cool thing back then was to buy excessively overpowered power supplies.
Even if you had a locked i5 and a GTS 450 you had a 750w power supply.
Michael Perez
I'm using an A-Power 1200W power supply from 2008.
It's never failed me and still going strong.
Connor Jackson
I planned to SLI 680's but never got to that stage as a single 670 was enough.

How does it run in 2018? Power hungry and hot I'm sure, but can it actually still put up semi-decent numbers on medium settings?
How are the EVGA 10xx series? I heard they had almost 0 cooling on the VRMs so they were known for blowing up. Is this still an issue or has it been fixed? Because I've been an EVGA fanboy since GTX 2xx days, so it was sad to hear.
Asher Thompson
>How are the EVGA 10xx series? I heard they had almost 0 cooling on the VRMs so they were known for blowing up. Is this still an issue or has it been fixed?
They blew up because of faulty components, not because of overheating VRM (they DO get hot because of insufficient cooling but not to the point of blowing up). Apparently it mostly affects FTW cards. I have a Classified and it's fine.
Anyway they fixed that with newer revision. FTW2 and FTW3 cards have overkill cooling and PCB design so they're good.

Getting a "better" board for 15 €, I'll try to do a 4.5 OC then
Also ordered me custom made sleeved cables from the US and thinking of a push/pull config
Is it worth it? I currently don't run the RGB software because it drains to much CPU performance

William Thompson
This, I guess the people overclocked like crazy and had bad cooling. FTW2/3 are crazy, even allows you to monitor VRM temps directly.
Brandon Davis
I have the SC edition. It's been working fine for nearly 2 years now overclocked (bought at launch). I'm a bit worried about raising the voltage though. Might help the VRMs more as I have the GPU fans running at 55% when under load, rather than the default 40.
Justin Anderson
It's been a while my dudes. I'm just posting my primary computer today
Evan Allen
never knew they had hdd caddies like that. i take it you already have all the hdd slots in the back full
Liam Smith
On the contrary, the basement slots are unoccupied because of non-existant airflow down there (in my configuration with two 140mm fans in the front). It's also very cramped down there, because of my non-modular power supply.
As for the HDD caddies. You mean the black ones under the graphics card? I have put them on some foam to completely delet vibrations
My computer case (Fractal Design Define C) doesn't have a window, so I'm going with function over form etc
Bentley Harris
POO
John Jones
You always post this but never explain why you're running AM2 with a 1080Ti. Or why you have an AiO cooler worth more than your board, CPU, and ram combined.
Camden Gonzalez
Did the caddy come with the case or did you buy them separately?
William Gomez
I have somehow managed to not tinker with my computer for at least a week now
Asher Robinson

Blake Robinson
u jelly my friend? ;^)
My server is all poo because I wanted it to be quiet and reliable. The psu fan is the only one that isn't, and it's been making some noise when it's really cold so I might just poo that too.

Austin Myers
It plays Far Cry 5 above 45FPS on low. Should be able to get over 30 on medium.
Adam Green
Sorry for late answer. It's kind of a clusterfuck regarding my HDD caddies.
The Define C comes with two white caddies, but I'm using the black caddies from the Meshify C. So they are identical but different color, if that makes sense.
Only two HDD caddies comes with each case. I also think that the Fractal Design Define R5 uses the same caddies aswell.
You can also buy from Fractal Design's part shop from Germany. I have bought a couple of unrelated stuff there (front USB panel hub, front panel fan controller etc) and they have fast shipping times to Sweden at least.

That's actually way better than I thought it would get. Well you can't say that card didn't earn your money. it's lasted/lasting what? 5 full generations?

Matthew Scott
what case is that and does it any major issues?
Julian Martinez
You should flip the fans on your CPU cooler around. Same with the front fans. As it is you're dumping all the heated air back into the case to be pulled out by the front fans.
Unrelated, but how's that 1080Ti run? That's the exact model I was gonna get.
Joshua Peterson
Just added the bottom intake, has helped lower case temps by 2-3c at idle. Should I add 3 more Noctau case fans for exhaust next or upgrade the cpu cooler?
Consistently some of my favorite guts, sff is
comfy.
7/10 No exhaust?
8/10 Looks good except for the PSU cables at the bottom, could be managed better.

If I were to take a guess it was probably a brown out that happened during the irma/Maria hurricanes. Would love to get more ram for it but don't really need to right now.

Samuel Myers
>Might just get rid of the AiO
I would. Invest in a good air cooler. If your 8700k is de-lidded, it'll run nicely under even a single tower heatsink. AiO coolers also provide little to no cooling at all to the motherboards VRMs.
I see what you did there.
Red/10. What's the thing under the GPU? The module to control all the lights? And it's a shame about that SSD in the front with the logo being upside down. How's that Zotac run? My buddy had an Zotac AMP! GTX 770 and it clocked like a monster.
Elijah Myers

Isaac Robinson
It's actually orange/red, but my phone camera is anus.
Yeah it's led module, also not seen is nvme m. 2 below gpu.
GPU can hold 2020mhz, but it gets loud as hell especially that case is on the table, so I run it undervolted to .9mV 1860Mhz, still shits on everything but doesn't break 65C. Even repasted it with Kryonaut just to get 2 degree drop.

Single tower Noctua. Cryorig H5, Be Quiet! Single tower of choice. Hell even the cooler master hyper 212X is a good choice.
Charles Reed
What's with all the different graphics card
Michael Thomas
ESXi gpu passthrough fuckery and I don't have a bunch of identical cards kicking around. They all work too, three separate copies of windows running with their own individual gpus and monitors like that one linus video but not retarded. Far as I can tell there's no performance drop for the gpus specifically but there's some overhead on processor and ram shit. Something like 5-15% depending on when you ask. Really good if you find yourself in the situation of needing GPU performance but not CPU performance, your workload only supports one GPU at a time, and it can be networked. Otherwise its a meme.
Brandon Davis
I already did, because someone bought my i7 and I'm waiting for Zen. In the meanwhile, I'll prepare my final proto-build with RGB, H150 and sleeved cables. When I can order Ryzen finally I'll just change the mainboard and attach the cables again.
>I actually have 1.5 TB SSDs, + a 500 GB NVMe drive
Should I go for push/pull?
ALso ordered me a better AM2+ board which can OC and supports my new Phenom, I'll OC it until it explodes, probably 4.5 GHz
Then benchmark newer games and see if they are playable

come on nigger its like 20$ more for more power than you'll ever need so it stays cool and lasts longer
Oliver Thompson
Red line... Your rig will use 430W at most, and you'd still have a lot of headroom with a 500W PSU. It might just run more efficiently. Your shitty case fans and CPU cooler produce way more noise than a PSU would.
Like I said, plebbit.

Hunter Edwards
60 FPS is all I need. Better than a 90° unsoldered 8700K (which also has only 6 cores and i come from 6 cores) or the overpriced and overheating Skylake-meltdown platform.
Also who needs 300 FPS? The only one is PUBG. Ran shitty on my 5820K as well, there is no way to avoid these drops.
Noah Bennett
PubG is trash and barely does 100fps on my 4790k & 1060 6GB, meanwhile I get 300fps in CSGO & Fifa 18.
Joseph Wood
a 8700K won't go to 90c unless you have it at 5 Ghz with the intel stock cooler.
Blake Foster
Completely normal, but no one needs more than 144 Hz. Zen+ will clock higher and will be paired with good RAM.
It does, because I'll OC the shit out of it. My 5820K never got warmer than 70° on 1.4 V (Prime 95), 40-50 in games.
>Buying unsoldered CPUs
Also I won't buy anything with less than 8 cores. TR1920 seems tempting but 8 faster cores will be probably a better choice. I always thought I would upgrade to the next Intel HEDT, but Intel turns out as dogshit. I hope they'll make better ones again.
Carson Kelly
As I said earlier, I had planned to go SLI 680s but in the end a GTX 670 was enough for my needs. Also at the time, buying big wattage PSUs was the trend, newfag.
