[eager jungle]

Yes

The moment I saw the a770 I new it would be perfect for matte black builds

[mellow pike]

really makes me wanna do a custom loop in my meshlicious

[burnt sundial]

Do it! It's fun. Though I do recommend the smaller diameter tubing. When I did a dry fit of the regular ZMT it was kind of annoying.

[granite tapir]

simply perfect

[mellow pike]

yh I'd probably also do a cpu only loop even tho it wouldn't bring a performance change - i like how my gpu looks and a waterblock is another 150 pounds
idk what colour coolant/tubes I'd go for and i also dunno whether to do hard or soft tube
my builds mostly white (white case) but has some black stuff in it like gpu and psu

[burnt sundial]

Thanks!

[burnt sundial]

Hard tubing isn't too bad if you're good with bends. I did consider black hard tubing, but I already know I'm not great at multi-bends and didn't wanna buy 2 miles of tubing for re-dos .

I use Koolance 702 for everything since it lasts years.

[mellow pike]

ight

[glass ruin]

Isn't the 770 a bottleneck for that high end of a CPU?

I mean yes, it's the top dog from Intel but it ain't 13900k levels of power is it?

[mellow pike]

all depends on what you're doing

[burnt sundial]

That doesn't matter for this system.

[glass ruin]

Huh... Nice

[burnt sundial]

Yeah, outside of curiosity benchmarking, this PC will not see gaming use.

[mellow pike]

@glass ruin i really wish barrow made a nice white cpu block
the only decent one they do is half clear

[glass ruin]

Damn bro, some people wish for a propper block meanwhile some of us don't even have a PC 🤣🤣

But yes, that would be sick

[mellow pike]

since I've had this pc I've wanted to do a custom loop

[mellow pike]

just realized i pinged you on accident lori mb

[glass ruin]

Np 👍

[burnt sundial]

I think silver is the best you could get, but you'd have to pay EK tax. $340 🤣

You could get a white block and then use a low profile DDC somewhere else in the case.

[burnt sundial]

Laptop life?

[glass ruin]

Unfortunately 😑

[mellow pike]

the velocity is alright and looks nice but I'd also need a pump

barrow white is nowhere near as good as the black

[burnt sundial]

I meant this thing: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-velocity2-ddc-4-2-pwm-d-rgb-1700-nickel-plexi

[mellow pike]

my mobo is silver so it could maybe match

[mellow pike]

do they do one for lga1200

[burnt sundial]

https://www.performance-pcs.com/special-services/custom-painting-services-powder-coat-cerakote/ppcs-cerakote-service-cpu-blocks-cerakote-cpublock.html Perhaps a custom Cerakote Lobo

[mellow pike]

ah yes

I've seen a couple of those on ssfpc server

[golden umbra]

as long as you have drain port is a good time

sweet rig mate

[glass ruin]

Ngl, for such a system GTAV is a joke. Therefore those low temps 🤣

[granite tapir]

bruh im 40 at idle

[golden umbra]

hows that even possible

[granite tapir]

i have no idea

i probably did something wrong with the paste

but it sat at 60 going 70 idle at first

somehow it fixed

but still lowest it'll go is 35

like weirdly its 60 at idle and 65 at max speed

[golden umbra]

is that a gen 4th intel

[granite tapir]

nope

its a R5 5500

[golden umbra]

Dang

[granite tapir]

i probably somehow fucked it up

its normal

it was my first PC too

[burnt sundial]

Not really, it's modded to death and can completely push the system.
External temps are similar with Cyberpunk.

[burnt sundial]

I have two drain valves

[golden umbra]

[burnt sundial]

For good reason though. I was not about to spend 2 days filling and bleeding this loop.

[granite tapir]

whats ur FPS like in GTA or Cyberpunk

[burnt sundial]

120-140 in GTV w/ upgrade texture packs and mods, 35 @ Ultra RT in Cyberpunk, 50 w/o RT, 75 w/ reasonable settings.

[bleak garnet]

Where did you get that Amazon box guy from? 🙂

[burnt sundial]

A shop in Japan, but I think Amazon has them now actually. I have a bunch of different editions.

[golden umbra]

google yotsubato box figma

[burnt sundial]

(And don't fall for the crazy pricing some places)

[granite tapir]

we got same gpu :D

[burnt sundial]

It gets a lot of (well deserved) flack, but I'm enjoying seeing the rapid improvements it's getting. Can't wait til more stuff uses AV1.

[burnt sundial]

nice!

A few of mine.

[granite tapir]

im assuming it’s completely stock Cyberpunk right

theres performance mods

ive seen someone run like stable 60 at max settings with a 20 series card

ofc w/o RT

[burnt sundial]

I haven't investigated thoroughly since my main system has a 3090. Just ran a few games in Windows since I knew people would ask.

[granite tapir]

i see

well maybe you can try

you should be able to run like Max Settings at 120fps with mods

should

[granite tapir]

oh shit what are these called again, i wanted to get afew but ended up forgetting the name

also sick mouse pad

[burnt sundial]

Thanks! It's the GamersNexus modmat.

[granite tapir]

looks sweet

[granite tapir]

Yeah

:)

[bleak garnet]

Damn they are normal priced but delivery cost is like 40 bucks 🤔

[burnt sundial]

Ouch. Must mean there are none stateside.
It's not always like that.

[burnt sundial]

Oh, forgot to show my "desk"

[past depot]

All of your builds look so good!

Right now I'm planning out a build in this case for my friend
12400f and a 3060 ti

[past depot]

i was looking at builds with the meshilicious and i stumbled upon your build
https://pcpartpicker.com/b/Pbp2FT

does the case fit a 240mm aio? i see a lot of builds using 280

[mellow pike]

it fits both

[burnt sundial]

Thanks! Yes, it comes with adapters pre-installed for 240mm.

[mellow pike]

please could you send me a link or name for the fittings that go from barrow cpu pump to hose
thanks

[burnt sundial]

https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-torque-micro-rotary-90-black

[mellow pike]

cheers

was looking at the non micro ones but those seem more fitting

[burnt sundial]

Can't tell if intentional pun lol...

[mellow pike]

not intentional lol

[burnt sundial]

Dang. It was a good one lol.

[mellow pike]

true

[burnt sundial]

Added a second monitor to my standing desk. It's a 15.6in OLED portable monitor aka repurposed laptop panel.

[burnt sundial]

Huh?

[stoic furnace]

WY ARC EXPLAIN

[burnt sundial]

Because I need it for work. This isn't a gaming PC. I game on my other one when I have time for that. #1060668812443254894 message

[stoic furnace]

oh but if workstion i would have gone with some qaudro

but your pc overall i like it!

[burnt sundial]

No. I specifically need Arc because we're developing for Arc.
Having a Quadro would mean I can't validate the Arc projects we're working on.

[burnt sundial]

Thanks!

[burnt sundial]

Finally got writes to stop tanking in Linux. Seeing 800MB/s on a 990 was less than ideal.

[tidal shuttle]

you might have a gpu bottleneck

[tidal shuttle]

A FELLOW LINUX USER!!!!!!!!!!! LETS FREAKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LINU&X

linux is the only constant in my life

linux IS my life

i cant go through a whole sentence without mentioning linux

i need linux

i need help

[burnt sundial]

I don't. IDoNotPlayGames.

[burnt sundial]

Nah, you're doing just fine lol.

[bleak garnet]

have you seen the sunlight this month? 🤔 if so youre fine, otherwise you might need some help.

[burnt sundial]

It's like Lilo & Stitch, but with penguins.

[uneven path]

What do you use the pc for?

[burnt sundial]

At the moment, development tasks revolving around Arc projects.

[humble reef]

I like the all intel its super sweet

[runic kelp]

is the mora good?

I want to cool my system silent and not as loud as it is now. (r9 7950x/rtx3090)

[burnt sundial]

The MO-RA3s are Amazing. I have a 360 and a 420. The 360 currently tames my 3970X/3090 system quite amazingly. GPU hardly ever goes over 40C under gaming loads.

[past depot]

I recently got a 27in 1440p 144hz monitor from a friend for $100. An older monitor but definitely an upgrade from my 21in Dell monitor from 2013.
My gtx 1070 isn't having a great time running games 1440p so i plan to get a new gpu in a few months about $350-400 Do you think I should look at the a770 or maybe a 6650xt or even a 6700xt?

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BcTrxr/dell-monitor-s2716dg

[uneven path]

Prob, a rx6700

Non xt

[past depot]

the xt is only $20 more

is the extra vram need/worth it?

[mellow pike]

if u have the money get the xt tbh

[uneven path]

Oh, in my region the Xt is $300 more (aud)

[runic kelp]

how load are your fans while gaming?
