AramJese Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 here are my rubbish specs... AMD FX-8350 (stock cooler), 10GB ram from different vendors (yeah, the green ones), cooler master super 600w, sapphire nitro RX 480 4GB and a biostar TA990FXE mobo. 1
Bokishi Posted July 11, 2018 Author Posted July 11, 2018 Put the 1080ti back in the main PC, since I got the 49" 32:9 Samsung CHG90 a couple months ago. It's only half of 4K but has HDR and 144hz. I notice pixel density took a hit (3840x1080) but the speed that things move without blur makes up for it. So I figure 4K for home theater and 144hz for desktop PC i7 8700K (6-core) @ 5ghz 1.30v w/ Corsair H150i RGB (360mm AIO)32GB DDR4 3000 Vengeance RGBGigabyte Aorus z370 G5GTX 1080ti SeahawkSamsung 1TB ssdZotac Sonix 500GB NVMESound Blaster X AE-5750w psu20x Corsair LNP light strips6x Corsair LL120 fansCorsair Commander light/fan controllerCorsair Crystal 570x case 2 Current 3DMark

Right now it is dead silent at idle. GPU and PSU both run passive at idle so the only moving parts are the CPU fans and you can only hear them when you put your head right next to the case. Still need to do some troubleshooting though. The Crucial SSD isn't being registered for some reason and I need to get some thermal tape for the ramsinks before I put the aftermarket cooler on the GPU. Otherwise it's been pretty great so far. It's really nice not having to worry about whether or not you can maintain 20FPS without dropping everything to low when I'm now staying at 60 on high. Edited July 18, 2018 by Deraldin 1

Only one of the M.2 ports supports SATA mode so make sure you have the SSDs the right way around. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
Deraldin Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Only one of the M.2 ports supports SATA mode so make sure you have the SSDs the right way around. Already cleared that. The front mounted port is the SATA compatible port and it worked with a different M.2 drive. Wish I had another SATA compatible port to check the non-functional drive with.

Could try an adapter to convert the M.2 SATA drive into a conventional SATA drive. Should run about $10. Fixed it. The drive was fine. It didn't like the ASUS overclock. Resetting BIOS default caused the drive to show up. Not sure which specific setting that ASUS changed was the cause, but that's fine. It's all confirmed working now so I can play around with settings at my leisure without having to open the thing up again. For now at least.
Azdeus Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Finally upgraded my graphics card from a Radeon Fury to a Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro+, I knew that it was powerhungry (But my room is very cold, so I'm fine with this ) but that it has 3x8 PCIe power connectors? Whoa.

Zoraptor Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 The later V64 Nitro+ model only has two 8 pins, earlier ones and the LE has 3. The 3x8 Sapphires were very popular for water cooling and extreme overclocking, iirc. Wish they had the V64 Nitro+ here, but for the last 6 months it was Strix only and now even that is sold out. 1
Azdeus Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 They've been selling here since the RTX release, or so I was told by the guys at the store. I guess they must've had this one in stock for a long time, and I'll consider myself happy - even though I don't think I will go for any extreme overclocking. I probably will watercool it though.

mkreku Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 This might be my favourite thread on these boards. It's so cool to be able to follow people's builds since 2006 or so. Anyhow, I recently built an ITX build. I noticed that I bought my last motherboard in 2008. It was time. Case: Kolink Satellite Plus. It's a tiny cube with brushed aluminum plates all around. Very simple design, almost Danish in its simplicity. I like it a lot, was cheap too. PSU: Seasonic FOCUS+ 750W Platinum. Smallest PSU I could find that was this powerful and fully modular. It's awesome. Completely silent until needed. Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-I Gaming. It's full of LED lights and features. There is a slightly more expensive version based on the X470, but I didn't need it (no OC). CPU: AMD Ryzen 2700X. So. Powerful. And the boxed cooler is actually good! Who knew? RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB Series 32GB (2x16) 3600MHz/CL17. They shine like little Christmas trees.. GPU: ASUS Geforce GTX 1080Ti Turbo. Yeah, I switched from AMD to Nvidia.. Don't like the drivers but love the performance. Only Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Ghost Recon: Wildlands has gotten it to buckle with everything on ultra at 1440p so far. HD: Samsung 970 Evo 1TB nvme M.2 SSD. 3500/2400 MB/s. It's so fast.. so fast.. Also a HGST 4TB 7200RPM mechanical drive for storage. All of this is crammed into my little aluminum shoebox. It's awesome. Also, I found out that there's a program called AURA that came with the motherboard. It can control the LED lights on the actual motherboard itself, plus the cooler that came with the CPU also has support for AURA.. and the memory sticks also have support for AURA! How cool is that? There's a literal firework of colours and lights going off inside my tiny case at all times! Looks kinda gay though.. 2 Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Azdeus Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 I've got those LED's on my motherboard aswell, but the leds has died and I can't get AURA to do anything with it. I probably should've taken the opportunity to have it RMAd when I changed the graphics card, but I really don't care about those flashing lights.

Gorth Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Looking at all those fancy GPU's... I need to upgrade my Ti 1050 (4Gb) some day. I could use more Cuda cores for rendering, but I worry that the trade off is going to be a noisy cooling. My current build (somewhere in this thread) is effectively noiseless. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I could use more Cuda cores for rendering, but I worry that the trade off is going to be a noisy cooling. My current build (somewhere in this thread) is effectively noiseless. My new rig is basically utterly silent, even when running games. I do have the evga fan software on "silent" fan profile mode, and it's still never topped 55C or so (that's with 3 gpu fans, not sure how much difference that really makes if any...). Only time I've heard the CPU fan ramp up is when video rendering since that still hogs "100%" cpu and makes the temp go up to 70C despite the liquid cooler on top of it. The old rig is a bit noisier (I have to turn it off to be able to "hear" how quiet the new rig is) but I think 70% of that is from the 10 year old case fans, which I should really replace but am too lazy to do so. Also, this thread is always a blast from the past, in terms of years/tech and some of the various folk who've posted in it during all those years. :D Edited April 17, 2019 by LadyCrimson 1 “Things are as they are.

Have you considered a custom loop? If you go with soft tubing and quick disconnects they're actually not that bad to work on and drain (although you shouldn't have to do that more than once a year to once every two years). "Geez.
