Just added a 5th drive with a little help of a hacksaw, without having to compromise my airflow. Don't worry, the SSDs don't get hotter than 35°C under load and the HDDs usually sit at around 30.
Are you sure you didn't put in your HDDs backwards?

Hey you got a new case. It looks great, makes me sad that there is no z270 or am4 blue motherboard. I'm trying to decide on a new case myself but am unable to
Brandon Ramirez
people didn't post in mine before so ...their lost i guess.
I miss having a blu-ray or DVD in my PC Idk why. And yes i know the middle drive looks wonky because I only added zipties to hold it down because the cooper brackets don't really fit lol.

I like big sinks and I cannot lie You other Sup Forumsmen can't deny That when a rig rolls in an itty bitty case And a huge rad in your face You get sprung, wanna pull up through Cause you notice that sink was stuffed Deep in the case it's within I'm hooked and I can't stop staring Oh baby, I wanna get with'cha And take your picture My Sup Forumsboys tried to warn me But that sink you got makes ME SO HORNY

I opened /bst/ once and saw your setup. I must say, its one of the comfiest rooms.
Joshua Martinez
That CPU cooler is fine. But why the GPU? What is it? Over clocked? And why such big sinks if you went matx anyway?
Chase Bailey
Quit being so negative. The correct question to ask is "why not". And yes, it's overclocked. It's an RX 480 running at 1500MHz daily clocks.

your airflow is all over the fucking place

Thanks user! I love the case! Phanteks really does make great case! Also too bad for the blue motherboard! LGA 1155 was the real blue era!!
Thanks user! Glad to see someone appreciate it! It ain't really popular in the /best/ thread. Is this the pic you saw ?

Fugg. Didn't see.
It is too blue though. Doesn't it fuck with your circadian cycle?

Yes, that was the picture. After you are done with making bit more room for legs you will be perfect.

Led brightness can be adjusted with the remote ( and powered off obviously) so I don't mind much , it feel less bright IRL. Have been shitposting and gaming with it for the past month and can't say I've been bothered with it.
Noah Miller
>It is too blue though. Doesn't it fuck with your circadian cycle?
I'm not him, but I have LEDs backlighting my desk and they don't fuck with me particularly. I keep them on a light blue usually, but will occasionally go for a soft red or similar depending on the day.
Ayden Ramirez
I had ordered a NH-D14, but received that downblower abomination by accident because the other one was sold out. Got a nice discount instead of sending it back and waiting for the other one to ship. In hindsight I wouldn't do it again. It's good enough, so I can't justify replacing it, just to satisfy the OCD.

Waiting for my Zen stuff, but will never get rid of this. If amd gives me any shit this time, I'll sell it and probably set up water for the p55 and run it until it dies. Probably won't get cpu bottlenecked anytime soon anyway.
I actually like minimalistic motherboards, too bad its an old am2+ as they are quite limited on cpu performance.. What cpu you got under there? And hd 5750?
Bretty good, 7/10
Core2quad.. Overclocked.. I'm moist. 9/10
Loved those old brown mobos, and the q9x5x cpus were fucking awsome!
Probably still runs everything even today except the big multiplayer games.. Overclock limited by temp or mobo?

>Those USB expansion cards Interesting didn't know other people still used those. Also why is one of your hard drives at the way top? Any particular reason? Nothing personnel but I fucking hate opposite-sided cases with parts designed for non-opposite-sided builds. Goes against all the engineering that went into the parts. Dust your shit too. >What GPU and why? oh. Nice. breddy cool mane. Makes me nervous tho, your CPU heatsink is resting on your GPU. I too love large heatsinks. Functional but not ugly like most people's. And by ugly I mean thrown together looking. Yours looks like something I'd expect to get from a custom system builder. neat
If it were touching, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't turn on, m8. There's a good 3mm gap, you just can't see it because of the angle the picture was taken.
I used zip ties to attach the VRAM sink and the zip tie ends would touch the CPU heatsink before it would touch anything electrical, and keep them separate. It's fine, unless I kick the case down the stairs or something, but then I've got bigger problems.
Ethan Moore
how to do that with the desktop?

Getting mine in a couple of weeks probably.. but holy fuck the "artwork" on the zen boards are fucking disgusting!
Pretty much all of them have those ugly white or gray stripes across them.
Now i'm not gonna spend hours cable managing, setting up for the perfect guts picture like many of you, but I do like a sexy motherboard. And holy christ they dropped the ball on these ones.
Jason Roberts
sexy as hell
Isaiah Harris
only half decent one is the crosshair vi
Jordan Fisher
yea, I've seen some of the more expensive ones look ok'ish, but they all seem pretty bland to me.
anyway I'm going matx, and pic related is the lucky board
Chase Hall
seems alright enough
beats the other asrock design with the giant clock gear on it, the taichi or whatever lol
opinions on mine?
Luke Thomas
I like blu on black, pretty decent. Way better than the later ones, but my fav look was on the 1./2. gen boards and also some 775 boards were hot as fug.
Pic is my current board, the last of the DFI Lanparty models they made, p55 socket 1156.
I loved the blue/black P6X58-E WS for 1366, and a couple of the x79 models.
Grayson Bell
orange is underrated for sure. unfortunate orange/blue is kinda dying out. :(
i like the actual fins going over the board with the heatpipe, as opposed to giant blocks of metal. looks nice.
Samuel Williams
yeah I love the fins/heatpipe too, it cools better and definitley looks better :P
Now its just those blocks of aluminium and leds everywhere sadly, but luckily the 1156/1366 platforms are still powerful enough to run pretty much everything still for years probably, so there's not need to upgrade really..

To be honest, DDR2 will always run hot.
Brody Campbell
>Probably still runs everything even today except the big multiplayer games.. Overclock limited by temp or mobo?
By voltage, i don't want to overvolt the thing. It has been running since 2010 at that speed. And i doubt the previous owner run it at stock clock at any time.
Nathaniel Miller
If temps are good (both cpu and vrm) then there is no problem really. The cpu dying is VERY unlikely by a little vcore boost if it still runs today. If cpus dies, it usually is within a year of some weakness and under very high temps.
Basicly, if you have the temps under control, cpus pretty much never die, even if you run quite high voltage. The failing factor is the motherboard 95% of the time, and I'm convinced they most often die because of either shitty cooling and/or shitty psu's.
Of course the performance gain you will see overclocking it further on air is small considering things will get hot fast, so may not even be worth it.
Justin Hughes
Windows 10 does it by default. Just set the image to stretched and make sure the total resolution fits.
My setup is dual 2560x1440 in a landscape + portrait orientation. Which makes the bottom edge 4000 pixels wide, and 2560 pixels on the highest point of the portrait monitor. (though the landscape monitor will obviously only have 1440 pixels in vertical height)
So with a 4000x2560 image (or larger) you can span it across both displays.
Or if you have two landscape monitors, you can set it up to work that way as well, though obviously the picture dimensions change from 4000x2560 to 5120x1440.
Ian Brown
I rock it. That's what you do with a rig.
Oliver Johnson
>two 1080p 144hz TN panels
Why...?
If anything get your primary monitor 144hz, then get a 2nd monitor that is higher res, or IPS or similar.
You aren't going to be gaming on both at the same time, just seems like a waste.
Carson Bennett
I like matching monitors and I really like how smooth everything is, it was horribly jarring going from 144 to 60 so I just bought two, they were reasonably priced so it didn't matter to me.
Jack Wood
>they were reasonably priced so it didn't matter to me. Yeah because they have fuck-huge bezels and are TN panels so have terrible off angle viewing angles.
Jordan Hernandez
what case do you have?

You can tell it is that way because that's the way it is.
Zachary Morales
I hope you got that 6850k for cheap as fuck, you dont seem to really be fully using your PCIe lanes and the 6800k is far cheaper for identical performance if you don't use all the PCIe lanes.
Lincoln White
Don't worry I'm using all my lanes, I made sure from the manual. It's one of the reasons I bought the 6850K. It also has a higher base clock speed which is nice.
I paid normal price
Chase Sanders
thanks
Logan Fisher
>Don't worry I'm using all my lanes ...How?
I see a GPU that's x16 I see an SSD that's x4 and I see another device, potentially network or sound card which would be x1 or x4.
So x24 or x21 lanes used.
The 6800k has x28, the 6850k has x40
Either way i'm adding up and you have spare lanes with either CPU.
Unless i'm missing something
Mason Wright
same case lel
Jace Bell
I'll be building in this case soon (FIL former marine and wants a new computer). How easy was it to build in? How easy is the cable management?
Parker Price
Oh, I thought you said you hoped I was fully utilizing my lanes, to which the answer is yes. If I had installed the GPU in the first slot, it would be using x8 instead of x16, for example.
I don't need to use all my lanes, so obviously I'm not, but it's good to be prepared in case I do. I wanted to future proof a bit, and get some of that higher clock speed.
That other device is a WLAN card. I know I could've bought a motherboard with integrated WLAN/Bluetooth but the price would have bumped up by 200-300€ which is crazy. This way I can also replace it when we get new WLAN protocols.
Jacob Collins
....So you spent $200-300 more for a CPU that has a 200Mhz overclock compared to the cheaper CPU?
When BOTH CPUs can overclock WITH EASE to 4Ghz+?
The 6800k is literally identical silicon to the 6850k, they overclock to identical levels.
6800k stock is 3.4GHz 6850k stock is 3.6GHz
Both can hit ~4.2GHz with an average cooler.
The ONLY difference is the 6800k has 28 PCIe lanes and the 6850k has 40 PCIe lanes.
I guess I just don't understand your logic. You wasted $200-300 for literally nothing.
Ethan Ross
>I guess I just don't understand your logic user, a fool and his money are easily parted. The guy obviously just didn't do his research.
Hunter Adams
I don't really care, I have a good job and I don't want to bother with overclocking.
I could have saved a lot with the PSU as well
Jonathan Sanders
>and I don't want to bother with overclocking Then you should have got a Xeon.
Sorry, but you specifically bought an overclocking chip. the HEDT chips are BUILT for overclocking, they're identical to the higher end Xeons EXCEPT they allow for overclocking.
Just wtf all around, actually understand what you're buying next time.
Blake Martin
Why are you making such a big deal out of this? good lord
Cooper Hughes
Piss easy and piss easy, the case is huge. It looks a bit edgy on the outside, especially in the ammo box green, but is absolutely straight forward on the inside. You might want to invest in a fully modular PSU and custom cables.
William Lopez
Because you're spending your own hard earned money wrong. What kind of response did you expect, posting in this thread?
Lincoln Harris
I dunno, didn't expect anything really
I've spent my hard earned money on far dumber things, believe me, this is nothing
Mason Bell
I am seriously too lazy to take a pic.
Carson Wright
Yeah, I was already planning on doing that, this is my rig here(), so I have a decent bit of experience as it is. Just hadn't actually got my hands on the case yet, but it's the only thing he bought so far, he was going to let me do the rest.
