Going to buy 4 of those are we?.....


They use even more power than the GTX980's and since you use 4 cards, refer to previous posts....Just saying..

Lets see if I can get the Titan X cards before you get the four 290s working.

Heh, it's just a BIOS flash away....5 Minute procedure and it's done.

You'll only have opened the side panel and begin to unplug the cards by the time i'm done...

I have dt 990s and I do game with headpones quite often. However, when I take breaks and use my speakers it's just annoying.

This, and I also use the dt990 which is a fully open headphone so in quiet games I can still hear fan noise which can be annoying.

I usually use my speakers though.

I also keep my pc in the family room so that I can use it while not having to feel like I'm neglecting everyone lol.

To me it's simple. If water is required, I'll do it, but I won't go out of my way if I don't have to. This 4770k for example, it requires water cooling for 4.8-4.9 so I didn't have a problem getting it.

Sure noise is subjective and I can understand babas, nycdarkness, and shadows point of view, but I just sit my PC on the ground to the side of my desk. If it was on my desk next to my monitor it would probably annoy the crap out of me, but where it is I find quite manageable.

[BababooeyHTJ]

I initially only did it because I was running tri-fire. With my 780s I already had the loop set up so why not? It was worth the extra money for the blocks alone. I wouldn't go setting up a full loop for 780s since the cooler on that card is very tolerable imo.

New Build

[BababooeyHTJ]

Very nice, I like it

[Meteor_of_War]

Looks cool, logical. Can we see a pic of the PSU housing and cable routing?

[Greasy]

That looks great logical. Update your system specs!

I'm sometimes tempted to build a compact system like that and put it on my desk. My 800D is next to my desk, and you can't even see it. Makes me wonder why I even bothered trying to make the build clean if I can't see it! :P

I gave up on the clean build stuff a long time ago.

Ok, by gave up I mean that I've never really tried.

[Mangler]

IMO, it's almost harder to make a messy build than a clean one in most modern cases.

[BababooeyHTJ]

Not the Elysium.

Proper cable management is better for airflow. The first time I finally routed my cables behind my motherboard in my old Antec Nine Hundred I saw a significant difference in cooling. Plus, its easier to clean the dust out when you don't have a rat's nest of cables everywhere.

[Ristogod]

As a 540 owner, I really like that 240 case.

Ouch, that was a rough case to try and keep neat. I had the antec 1200 and a non-modular psu for the longest time. The back panel looked like it was ready to burst.

Yeah it sucked. I actually modified it and cut my own holes and installed some rubber grommets to make it a little better. Still was real tight and could hardly get the side panel on.

lol, it looks terrible like it should... everything crunched into it. Ill get a pic later today.

I forgot, doing it now.

Lol, pretty much. I've yet to use a case where that other side didn't look like a rat's nest. At least I know where everything goes.

[Kain]

Very nice!

Awe, well if its too much of a pain to do don't worry about it. I can always just try to Google some images of it.

[logical]

dat ass

[Meteor_of_War]

Looks good. But check it in a few months and it will be dusty as all hell!

[BababooeyHTJ]

****, that case looks really easy to work in.

[Meteor_of_War]

I'd really like to go Mini-ITX for my next case, just haven't decided yet if I want to let go of SLi yet.

We'll see how support for multi-GPUs are when I get around to my next build.

You can do SLI in this case and with this motherboard. You just lose the ability to plug in the front USB 3 header.

All this talk about problems with noise coming from the computer, and all of it can be easily remedied by simply wearing a good pair of headphones.

I need headphones and ear plugs.

[nycdarkness]

I'd think you'd need to be deaf.

I updated my rig a couple of months ago (and, when I mean "updated", I mean "stuck the old innards into a new case" ); I wanted a new case to replace my venerable Cooler Master Centurion, so I decided on the Corsair Carbide 200R:





And here's my current desk setup:

[BababooeyHTJ]

Your machine doesn't get hot in there? I keep my pc under my desk and it still runs noticeably cooler when I pull it out.

I cut a a couple of big round holes side-by-side in the inside piece between where the computer is and the desk's foot well and bolted a couple of old, repurposed 80mm Sunon high-speed case fans there, venting from the PC area to the foot well. These are wired to a single 4-pin Molex connector connected to a Molex power pass-through expansion card at the back of the PC; whenever the PC's on, the vent fans are on, drawing cooler air from the front of the PC area and pushing warm exhaust air out to the foot well.

Ah, good to know the option is still there. Heat might be a concern though.

Finally made the jump from laptop back to desktop, got this locally, still need to arrange the wires and replace the poor ram and the cooler, i will probably downsize the PSU as well

Woo gotta love that sexy black interior. I was kinda meh feeling when you said the exterior was white but that looks great

Told ya it looked good, the sabertooth thermal armor does great things for aesthetics, or you can also do something like this:

I think your power supply is inverted... shouldn't the fan be facing down ?
