What case on the left ?

[Evileh]

All that custom water cooling just doesn't do it for me. It stop looking like an actual computer and becomes something completely unrecognizable to me. Not for me. Beautiful job though.

[KAC]

For me also it doesn’t do it because AIOs can match similar performance for the most part. Plus I don’t wake up in the morning and look inside my case.

daaaaamn nycdarkness that is sick.

Yea and if you build a setup right you can fairly closely match that with air. It's just what do you want really. Most of us aren't probably pushing things hard enough to require OP cooling setups

Air can be as good or better than AIO water cooling and much more reliable, so that is pretty much where I stand.

That said, those builds are beautiful works.

It looks like a magnificent work of art to me. I'd love to build a rig like that some day. Silent, looks great, and fun to assemble. Great job!

Thank you, & yes it runs VERY QUIET for looking like a car engine.

Ummmmm i don't think he's talking about you dude

[Apocalypsee]

For those of you who are jealous of my leadership & 16000 watt power supply, you'll be happy to know I had to switch it out for my old reliable EVGA last night. The cords were getting very hot and there was a ton of coil whine on the RTX 2080. Switched out & back to normal. It was probably the DUMBEST purchase I've ever made. I think it may have fried my VII as well. (several documented cases of VII failures and code 43s w/ very high wattage supplies.

Looks pretty much the same but a bit cleaner & black connectors. The purpose of the Thermaltake build was to make it look like an actual car engine was in the case & I think I have succeeded.


Edit: Interesting to note.. For whatever reason, my RTX 2080 runs better on the Ryzen 7 3700x than the i9 9900k, and the RX 5700 XT Triple Dissipation runs better on the i9 9900k than either the RTX 2080 did or the VII ran on the Ryzen 5 3600.

Where is the Ato theGto theP?. AGP are FAR SUPERIOR to PCI Express

Where is the Ato theGto theP?. AGP are FAR SUPERIOR to PCI Express

It is my firm belief that someday I will build a system with AGP2 or AGPG2 (whichever marketing decides) on the motherboard.

In the meantime, I must say I am enjoying my PCIE RX 5700 XT. It seems every bit as powerful as my non functioning VII. Just make sure tessellation is turned to "application settings" & not "AMD optimized" so everything works.

[Greasy]

For the love of God please stop quoting that dude, and just put him on IgNoR

Great builds nycdarkness, love the anodised pipe work. Also, what is in the dual system? And what/how do you use it?

[demo]

Just put my main desktop guts in a new case (Lian-Li O11-Dynamic, the same one Demo has, only in white); it's sweet-looking and has a ****-ton of airflow/cooling options. However, unlike Demo, I'm remaining with air cooling only with this; three intake fans at the right-side front and two exhaust fans at the mid-to-rear top does the job.

Sorry buddy didn't see your post, good looking build it's a great case. I have the white version as well.

Thanks.
@nuz the left is the limited edition EK+inwin collab case called the 909EK

The dual system is a 10980XE + 9900k on the itx. It was a 7980xe before I swapped to the 10980. That is my main rig which has the nvlink etc game/work. The 9900k rig next to it I only RDP or powershell into. It runs a sql instance, that I test ssis packages with, as well as some other vms. So the specs on the small one is 2x32gb dimms, 2x 2tb onboard and since z390 only biforcates to 4/4/4 another 2tbx3 on the hyper m2.

I am in process of tearing the dual system apart to replace the 10980 with a 24 core TR and trx40 alpha. The 909 System is currently running a 32 core TR

Now thats a color scheme I can get down with. Awesome work.


Whats the camera? Did you use a slider?

[ULTRATRON38]

The Thermaltake Kandalf build isn't working out. The Corsair is back to an all Intel / Nvidia config and I will be FIXING system 1a and the RX 5700 XT shortly.

[KAC]

nyc if I were in nyc, would have asked you to build one for me. Amazing work!

[ULTRATRON38]

I fixed the Thermaltake..

First the Corsair as it was intended as Intel / Nvidia system:



& NOW the Thermaltake View 51 as originally intended AMD only system!





The 5700 XT would not work on the Aorus x570 board until I had the F20 bios installed.

Also, DO NOT feel bad for the Kandalf. I have decided to add a THIRD system to my rotation. I will be using all the failed and extra parts to build a system just for fun, but keep it as a backup should system 1 or 2 ever fail. The system will include the 16000 watt power supply, my supposedly dead Radeon VII (I will try to get it working, if not I have a 1070 spare. An ASUS TUF B450 motherboard, Ryzen 5 3600x processor, Asus TUF water cooling, if it can't fit I'll use the stock cooler. That is all.

[ULTRATRON38]

Wow, at night this the coolest looking system since Q-Bertratron, but unlike that one it's also a powerhouse!

I'd take a fancy pic with it at night with the glass door on, but I'd have to move it & I'm too lazy.

Ok...



it looks so cool in real life!

Until next time.. it -> BEEN FUN

Time to go back to the realm where I'm highly respected.

[metroidfox]

You guys care far more about wiring than I do.


Some very neat builds though.

Can you tell me how you have the keyboard and mouse connected? What is the plate/panel on which you are keeping the keyboard and mouse? Any links to purchase it? I also have the K70 and G402 that I would like to put on a similar plate/panel w/ my TV set. Let me know.

Thanks Hapa. Considering picking it up since wife wasn’t too enthused about me redoing the upstairs lounge lol.

Finished my new 10700K build recently. Only thing I swapped over was my 1080Ti Hybrid, I'm waiting on the new Ampere cards to release and see what AMD has to offer. First time using Noiseblocker fans...these things are amazing. Also this was the first build I've done using the Lian Li 011. Such an awesome case to build in. Everything with it designed perfectly...

That looks pretty sweet! Well done

[KAC]

That’s a lot of fans. Is it quiet?

[Ghastlyone]

Thank you!

It's super quiet. This case's thermals are amazing compared to my Thermaltake View 71. I'm only running 2 intakes when I'm just idling on the desktop/web browsing. For gaming, the fans max out at only 1,500rpms.
I'm recommend these Noiseblockers all day long. Plus they have a modular cable design. You can simply disconnect them right at the fan if you ever want to remove them for cleaning, etc.

[demo]

Looks great Versatile case with good air flow, and I like the colour scheme - have the same pink and blue:
