#

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:16 AM

#

ive got a 1060 6gig right now. lol. i just want a new mobo and ram and shit

#

i cant upgrade anything anymore past the gpu....

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:16 AM

#

ah my buddys' got a 1060 3g

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:16 AM

#

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:16 AM

#

Ryzen 7 2700 is plenty ok rite?

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:16 AM

#

he just upgraded from an FX 8350 to a R5 3600

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:16 AM

#

oh you meant i7-2700

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:16 AM

#

yeaaaaaaaa

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

@inner lily thats a great gaming chip

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

2700 vs 8700 isnt that big of a difference...but EVERYTHING else is impossible to upgrade

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

hey man I got an i7-2600 with RX 480 8GB

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

im rockin ddr2, my dude

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

and 8GB DDR3

#

oh man that is so old

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

9 years

#

but hey, i run BF5 on medium at like 60fps

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

rn ive got a R5 2600 w/ 16 gb ddr4 @ 3000mhz and a 1050ti 4g lol

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

if you build a pc, build a good pc

#

IT WILL LAST

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:17 AM

#

planning to upgrade from 1050ti to 2080s

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:18 AM

#

@inner lily all that needs is a new AMD GPU haha

#

@acoustic timber wait for Intel to initiate their 15% price cut perhaps then snap up the 9900k?

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:18 AM

#

theres been a lot of artifacting issues with the new AMD gpu's because of blower style lol

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:18 AM

#

negative

#

9700/9900 are worse for gaming than the 8 series

#

8/8 vs 6/12

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:18 AM

#

cooking the card to like 90c

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:19 AM

#

oh but 9900k is 8/16

#

@inner lily probs have to wait for the AIB custom RX 5700 XT with dual axial fans

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:19 AM

#

meh. 8700k is the beez neeeeeeeeeyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:19 AM

#

that's last gen

#

haha

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:20 AM

#

im going for an msi gaming x trio 2080s

#

supposedly wont be in stock till aug 16th according to b&h tho

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:20 AM

#

RTX 2080 Supers are of poor value - well according to reviewers anyway

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:20 AM

#

yeah so ive heard - they're putting them around the 1080ti range

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:20 AM

#

thats why i dont care about 9th gen i7s

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:20 AM

#

but im not interested in getting into a week long bid war just for a 1080ti

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:20 AM

#

userbenchmark scores are broken right now

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:21 AM

#

i just want a kickass gpu that i wont have to worry about till i build my overkill pc

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:21 AM

#

they've recently changed their scoring

#

@inner lily maybe until you've started to build that PC, then shop around for a GPU?

#

afterall, Nvidia is transitioning to 7nm

#

and RDNA 2 is around the corner

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:21 AM

#

any x700(not 1st gen, ew), is basically the same thing. OBVIOUSLY THEY GET FASTER.... but the step ups iarent massive...

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:21 AM

#

either that or the RX 5800XT

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:21 AM

#

ive recently upgraded my cpu is the thing, the only thing left over from my old build IS the 1050ti

#

old build was FX 4300 w/ 8gb ddr3 @1666mhz and a 1050ti

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:22 AM

#

OUCH

#

FX 4300?

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:22 AM

#

hey man, i ran arma 3 servers with 30+ people on that thing. AND played at the same time

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:22 AM

#

that's even worse than @acoustic timber

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:22 AM

#

it worked

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:22 AM

#

haha

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:22 AM

#

yup 😄

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:22 AM

#

was it even possible to run a server and play ARMA 3 smoothly at the same time?

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:22 AM

#

ish.

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

Newer CPU intense games like Insurgency Sandstorm, etc are already cpu bottlenecked on my i7-2600...

#

sad

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

constantly drop to like 10-15fps but with an fx4300 and a 1050ti i kinda got used to it

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

i7s, not 1st gen, are beasts

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

only thing now is i went from a CPU bottleneck to a GPU bottleneck

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

literally best chip in the last 10 years

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

now i get stutters in Siege randomly in gunfights

#

but when i plopped my buddys' 1660ti into my system it worked just fine no stutters

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:24 AM

#

amd is the value line

#

intel is name brand

#

lets be real

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:24 AM

#

value is good right?

#

90% of the performance for half the price

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:24 AM

#

you want a toyota or a lexus

#

lol

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:24 AM

#

yeah tbh amd "high end" gpus being NV mid tier is kinda annoying

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:24 AM

#

ford or lincoln, baby!

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:24 AM

#

I'd take a toyota if I had to pay for the capital and maintenance cost haha

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

amd is good if you arent breaking your bank. intel is there for the people who want that primo

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

like sure you can use powertables on the 5700/xt and get around the same performance of a 2080/2080s but realistically if youre going to put that much effort into it get a 2080/s and OC that

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

TOYOTA = They Overcharge You On Their Accessories

#

LOL

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

pontiac = poor old .... nvm

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

LOL

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

@inner lily Hmmm, but you have to pair it with a good monitor to make the RTX 2080 and above worth it

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

yeah i mean

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:26 AM

#

at least 27" IPS 1440p 144Hz

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:26 AM

#

i want the 2080s to fuel my Index

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:26 AM

#

that would be matching

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:26 AM

#

1050ti just wont cut it

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:26 AM

#

never get a 5

#

8 if youre a baller, 7 if you on that middle class(YA FEEL ME), 6 if youre tryin to skimp but still be runnin aiiiiight.

#

5 is that....amd level. LOL

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

im not the one who bought the 5, my buddy had it in his system and when he upgraded to a 1660ti he gave me his

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

why not both - RX 5800XT LOL

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

before the 1050ti.. i had an RX 460 LOL

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

yeah thats what i tried to tell my buddy

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:27 AM

#

it's ok value for money I guess

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:28 AM

#

just get a radeon at that point

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:28 AM

#

1660 shouldnt exist

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:28 AM

#

for those on 1080p 60 fps

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:28 AM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

bruh yall gettin that 1650 weary

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:28 AM

#

True @acoustic timber Radeon RX 570 and 580s are so cheap now

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:28 AM

#

werent they selling the 570 sapphire 8g on amazon for like.. 120?

#

like a week ago?

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:28 AM

#

and once you understand how the whole 'series' thing works...it just makes you sick and stick with the lower card

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:28 AM

#

I think it was like 140+

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:29 AM

#

because, lets be real, ITS A LOTTERY

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:29 AM

#

silicon lottery

#

or was it silicone

#

one was for semiconductors, the other was for tits

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:30 AM

#

when i learned how the whole process worked of them making chips and cards...i was like.............

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:30 AM

#

they bin them of course

#

now they are smarter by selling higher bins for higher prices

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:30 AM

#

well the 5700xt 50th anniversary are just 5700xt chips that performed better

#

so they're upmarking them

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:31 AM

#

why do people on reddit keep calling it silicone lottery

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:31 AM

#

i just dont want to buy that ibuypower because I THINK it has an ASRock mobo

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:31 AM

#

it is not like we are hiring and binning hookers with fake t*ts

#

@acoustic timber Asrock is cheap - sometimes has its issues though

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 3:32 AM

#

its got horror stories written about it.

#

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 3:36 AM

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 3:36 AM

#

my buddy went with a gigabyte board

#

Because profit

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 4:03 AM

its cheaper than the pieces by themselves

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 4:03 AM

just the gpu + cpu + ssd i got to around 900 rounding up/down

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

LMAO

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 4:14 AM

but going from 24 to 27 does add a ton of pricetag

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

yeah

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

the reason its fucking 440 is because it's actually an AIO pc

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

and add 4k on top of that ouch

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

only reason i even got this is my friend got 3 of them, decided he didnt want 3 monitors and sold me one

Should I get TN, VA or IPS?

Because like, I got confused even after a couple of videos e_e

TN, duh

#

you want 144hz, right?>

fleet canopy Jul 27, 2019, 4:21 AM

#

Alright

#

And yeah

#

I mean

#

Even with VA, there's 144hz

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

IPS has more 'motion blur' VA has amazing color TN is the best response time

#

theres always a trade off

fleet canopy Jul 27, 2019, 4:23 AM

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 4:23 AM

fleet canopy Jul 27, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

Alright

inner lily Jul 27, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

so ideally for a media consumption monitor maybe id want VA?

acoustic timber Jul 27, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

i think IPS has a better quality for picture

#

assuming you arent trying to game on it

#

but i mean, not everyone sees the same stuff

#

look at screen tearing.....some ppl notice it more than others

Comparison of Panel Technologies:

Color Accuracy / Gamma - IPS > VA >> TN

Color Gamut (wider is better) - VA = IPS >> TN

Response Time (lower is better) - TN > IPS > VA

Contrast Ratio (higher is better) - VA >> IPS = TN

Backlight bleed & glow (less is better) - VA >> IPS = TN

Price (cheaper is better) - TN > VA > IPS

chrome chasm Jul 27, 2019, 12:31 PM

#

Might explaining what IPS / TN / VA ? I don't understand it

#

But overall look like VA win.

fiery nacelle Jul 27, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

VA is an ok compromise

#

IPS is popular amongst gamers these days I suppose

#

IPS / TN / VA are just different methods / technologies of LCD screen implementation

#

For LED/LCD TVs, almost all are exclusively VA as the response time required is low but contrast ratio greatly increases quality of picture

#

VA's big weakness is terrible response time for certain colors (grey and blacks)

sick reef Jul 28, 2019, 12:49 PM

#

Depends on the market. For Consumers, intel's single-core is still better. But for companies/workspace, the multicore capabilities and performance is more relevant

#

It's getting close, though.

late sorrel Jul 28, 2019, 1:17 PM

Anyway, games and software are becoming more multi core friendly, so I have no clue what they’re up to

north bronze Jul 28, 2019, 1:18 PM

#

idk why it's taking games so long to become multicore friendly

fiery nacelle Jul 28, 2019, 2:00 PM

#

Ryzen makes sense in any market - Intel may be slightly ahead for GAMING single threaded scenarios, but the price to performance even for that favours Ryzen

#

It'll only be a matter of time before the increasing adoption of Ray Tracing coupled with more focus on multiplayer ensures upcoming games will start to use 6 threads or more

#

(especially with rampant use of DRM like Denuvo or game engines like UE4)

probably an h7 cryorig since that seems to be what everyones saying

i could get a corsair h60 little liquidcooling kit....it seems to work fine for the 8700s buuuuuuuuut i dont like the idea of having a pump that can go bad

but saved myself like 300 bucks

probably a week of ordering and shit. then putting it all together and hoping nothing was DOA

so i feel like it was a win

#

just have to go and get a better cpu cooler cause this stock shit on an 8700 isnt going to cut it...at all

probably just gonna get a corsair h60....seems to be a decent bet for the price

inner lily Jul 28, 2019, 4:13 PM

#

AIOs might be a bit more of a hassle if a pump breaks or if something messes up

#

yeah believe me thats what i said to my friend "this is really heavy"

#

thing with AIOs is if its a small rad one there will be a point where the fins wont be able to bleed off the heat anymore and it will slowly keep rising in temp, but still probably stay lower than stock cooler

#

but the air cooler like the 212 has a massive heatsink and it bleeds the heat from it quickly

acoustic timber Jul 28, 2019, 4:15 PM

#

yea....

#

dont AIOs handle those 'spikes' better, though?

#

and we all know how much the fucking 8700 spikes with win10...

inner lily Jul 28, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

im not exactly too sure, never went for water cooling, but i personally would go with an air cooler because i just find that less points for failure make me a bit more at ease

even though that thing IS heavy, it's got a nice backplate and the screws are pretty high quality

With intel it’s more brand and reliability

#

AMD is playing catch-up so cost efficiency has to be their friend

fiery nacelle Jul 30, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

Admittedly with new architectures, come teething problems, early adopter tax and hiccups haha

#

There have been quite a few with the Zen 2 launch

#

supposedly AMD is issuing a statement / update today

#

Intel has much less worries in this regards due to their old architecture

#

(I still remember the major issues with Sandy Bridge launch 9 years ago)

#

wait it was 8 years ago

normal ivy Jul 30, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

Well I’d throw performance up there for intel also they still have the edge

fiery nacelle Jul 30, 2019, 4:19 AM

slight edge for gaming, comes at some extra cost though

#

Those on mixed workloads may want to look at Ryzen though (assuming they aren't using too much QuickSync)

@fiery nacelle that CPU that was shown was one that i found on an older mobo that was given to me

the gaming x trio isnt in stock and i could wait for it.. or i could just get the asus dual fan model

sick reef Jul 30, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

Is the difference big enough, is the question you'd ask yourself.

inner lily Jul 30, 2019, 11:15 PM

#

the gaming x trio has the all metal backplate with thermal pads on it and a huge heatsink + 3 fans so it'd stay significantly cooler

#

and its only 20$ more

#

but by the time its out i could have the money to just.. buy a 2080ti lol

sick reef Jul 30, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

How significantly cooler? forsenThink And if that's your main concern, isn't pre-bought AIO a better solution.

inner lily Jul 30, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

2080S AIOs are like 50$ more than just a triple fan

#

and that's a blower style + small rad

#

so in the end it'd probably be about the same

sick reef Jul 30, 2019, 11:19 PM

Maybe so. Depends on the rest of the rig more, I guess.

inner lily Jul 30, 2019, 11:19 PM

if i get hired at this second job i want then im definitely going for a 2080ti.

like all heat is going trough the radiator

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:24 AM

normal ivy Jul 31, 2019, 12:26 AM

Jesus

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:26 AM

#

It reaches 100C not because of CPU max, but probably the turbo function if that's active.

#

But yeah, a small radiator handles heat accumilation poorly.

#

Maybe it doesn't fully matter.

#

Due to the small radiator, if it is the boost or not.

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 12:30 AM

#

Or a new air cooler?

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:31 AM

#

I'm unsure if an air cooler would be better.

#

I haven't looked a lot into that. only that you can get similar temperatures.

#

A small radiator might so work for my 1080 Ti, but my CPU would generate too much heat for it to be able to handle, it would be a two fan size radiator at the very least.

#

As for air, if I had the space, it wouldn't be as good.

Audible, barely.

inner lily Jul 31, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

i mean if you get close i_think

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

Like pump is running

normal ivy Jul 31, 2019, 12:39 AM

#

You could view that in the bios as well

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 12:39 AM

#

How?

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

You could see RPM and PWM signal, but if it's 12V through or not isn't doable in Bios.

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

2230 rpm pumpfan

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

And the pump?

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

That is the pump

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

That's the pumpfan.

#

forsenThink

#

I guess it's just the name.

#

I haven't had 50 degrees in a build idle ever, apart from when I had FE 1080 TI.

#

I'd suggest testing to turn the fans the other way.

inner lily Jul 31, 2019, 12:42 AM

#

check mounting pressure too, like maybe take the pump off and re-apply some thermal paste, and re-seat it

#

dont want your cpu and mobo dying

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 12:43 AM

#

Like also

#

This cpu

#

I7-7740x

#

its normal for this kind of cpu to reach these temps?

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:44 AM

#

Dunno. Depends on cooling solution.

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

So when I run my Kabylake-X series i9 at 33 degrees that's not normal?

inner lily Jul 31, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

definitely not, your cpu is malfunctioning and you should obviously upgrade to a FX 4300

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

Absolutely.

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

So they need to run at this high temps?

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

No, but it's likely the radiator that is undersized, in contrast to the temp accumilation.

inner lily Jul 31, 2019, 12:47 AM

#

thats one thing that i talked to someone about yesterday

#

how with rads eventually youll reach an equlibrium where you cant get rid of all that heat

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:47 AM

#

As it states, it will be extremely warm.

inner lily Jul 31, 2019, 12:47 AM

#

but with air coolers you dont have that as fast/as often

normal ivy Jul 31, 2019, 12:47 AM

#

Yeah I’d recommend a reseat and redo the thermal paste

inner lily Jul 31, 2019, 12:48 AM

#

try to go light until you can decide if you wanna get an air cooler or not

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:48 AM

#

Well, yeah. Only that the equilibrium on a good/large enough radiator can be ambient

normal ivy Jul 31, 2019, 12:48 AM

#

If it’s still that way after then you know you’d need a new cooler

inner lily Jul 31, 2019, 12:48 AM

#

and that rad is pretty small so

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:48 AM

#

^

#

That's the main issue.

#

An aircooler would require good flowthrough.

inner lily Jul 31, 2019, 12:49 AM

#

psh

#

just do what i do

#

throw a 20 inch box fan on the side :D

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 12:50 AM

#

I got good airflow

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:50 AM

#

Well. I placed a 46mm rad, double fan, on the side

#

Or, protruding from there at least.

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

But a new cooler could fix the problem?

#

Also i cant fix a larger raditator

#

Fit*

#

Thats that max size

inner lily Jul 31, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

oh shit yeah you dont have a top mount

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

Aircooler it is

normal ivy Jul 31, 2019, 12:54 AM

#

Get a hyper 212 also

inner lily Jul 31, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

my buddy has a 212

#

someone else in here just got a 212 and he loves it

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

Why is that cooler so populair

inner lily Jul 31, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

because its a good cooler

normal ivy Jul 31, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

Extremely reliable

inner lily Jul 31, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

and like sub 50$

normal ivy Jul 31, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

There’s like no complaints on reviews about it

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

Couldn't you fit a radiator in the front? forsenThink

normal ivy Jul 31, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

Overall everyone is satisfied

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

no

#

Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B a better one?

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 12:57 AM

#

What a piece of work. Have a huge front, but it's not usable apart from looks.

#

Absolutely satisfied with just bastarding an old case into use.

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 1:00 AM

#

soo Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B vs hyper 212

#

or wil the hyper 212 do the job?

#

ARCTIC Freezer 33 eSport

normal ivy Jul 31, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

I haven’t seen or used the scythe but speaking from experience im completely satisfied with the 212

#

I usually play games on max settings and push my system and it still stays low temperature wise

#

Or at least compared to what you’re used to

vague lake Jul 31, 2019, 1:20 AM

#

i bought the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition

Needs more RGB man

#

RGB front intake and rear exhaust fans ought to do the trick

urban gulch Jul 31, 2019, 1:08 PM

#

Looks nice. 😃

normal ivy Jul 31, 2019, 1:16 PM

#

Looks good but one case fan or are more hiding on the top?

abstract kite Jul 31, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

first impression: hey it's kinda like mine

#

second impression: wait mine is not very original

#

talking about my pc I added my own RBG inside just yesterday

It looks neat.

abstract kite Jul 31, 2019, 1:54 PM

#

thx ( 'w')

#

seems a bit empty tho

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

Only one fan in front, though forsenThink

#

Yeah, exactly.

abstract kite Jul 31, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

yeah I wanted to put be quiet fans everywhere but ran out of budget

#

I gave myself 2k€

#

I paid 1999.45€

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

Be quiet fans isn't the best if you actually want quiet, though? As they are not the most efficient.

abstract kite Jul 31, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

just because when I clicked "order" it said to me that the ssd was no longer available, and in fact they put the same one but a bit cheaper XD

#

ah? they seems good

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

I'd look deeper into it, noise normalised, before I made big decisions.

abstract kite Jul 31, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

ah yeah, I forgot about the noctua redux

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 1:58 PM

#

Now, I use 5 Delta's, so I haven't looked at that myself, but I saw some of it when I looked up fans.

#

I'll show mine as I haven't in a while

because I love that combo

abstract kite Jul 31, 2019, 2:02 PM

#

that looks... experimental I guess

#

be quiet silent wings 3 are way better than noctua redux

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

It truly is. A ton of hard work. But it payed off only a few kinks left.

abstract kite Jul 31, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

way more silent, faster, and nearly twice as expensive

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 2:04 PM

#

Well, last time I looked and saw noise normalised was half a year ago, so that could be true.

#

The power button whilst I can make it work, I haven't had the energy to fix it, and I have to fix the HDD tray

#

Mosly cosmetics, but the HDD tray serves a practical function, and the power button is needed if I want to ever close it up

urban gulch Jul 31, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

Gotta say, i love the creativity of people.

normal ivy Jul 31, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

I went for a high end build but aesthetically it’s basic unless you’d think a blackout is nice

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

Oh yeah, if any one of you ever decide to get a Fan Controller that is software controlled, never get the Corsair Commander Pro.

#

Never ever get that one.

abstract kite Jul 31, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

and when I say "my own RGB" I mean that I made the device sending power to the led strip and controlling the color

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Ah, neat! Do you have it do effects, or is it just constant light?

abstract kite Jul 31, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

for now it's programmed as color sweep, the hue changes linearly over time

#

but it's an old design (2016) and I wasn't as I good in electronics as I am today, so the usb is not working

#

but even tho I can't change the effect, at least it works

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

Getting a USB to work shouldn't be that difficult though? If it's into an internal USB, it's passthrough right?

abstract kite Jul 31, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

nah, it's just a matter of package and pinout

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 2:13 PM

#

-/D+/D-/5+

abstract kite Jul 31, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

I fucked up the mcu pinout, so the usart device and spi can't be on the pins, and the DFN package is a bit too hard to solder so idk why but the ftdi chip is not working anymore

sick reef Jul 31, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

Ah, damn.

abstract kite Jul 31, 2019, 2:14 PM
