Changed PSU/Mem/Top Rad/CPU

Changed PSU again that EVGA Supernova P2 1200w is a squealer

THE_EGG · Sep 13, 2014

I finally caved into X99. I picked up a i7 5930k, Gigabyte X99 Gaming 5, and 2 kits of some basic 2X4gb Crucial 2133mhz DDR4 memory (this memory was almost $200 cheaper than the Corsair stuff they had at the store). I also bought the H110 a couple of days ago on sale. The shop also gave me Win8 for half price so I got that too. My wallet is feeling a little light now though D: But the power difference (even from a i7 4770) is just incredible. I have someone lined up to buy my 'old' 4770 setup off me so it actually didn't cost me tooooooo much money to go to X99.
It munches through everything easily, especially ABBYY Finereader I use for work - it nearly halves the recognition of text and writing time of the what time it took for the 4770. I have it set to an auto-oc of 4.1ghz with max temps using prime 95 of 61C. I'm pretty happy with that but I'll tinker with it properly when I have more time.

Also I reversed the back fan as an intake so basically front and rear intakes with the exhaust being the H110 up top and what ever gets pushed out of the case from pressure.
And I took out my sound card, Xonar D2X, as I want to see what temps I get on the top 780 with having 2 slots gap rather than just 1 and also see how good the on-board audio is. So far the audio has amazed me, not quite to a good sound card level but definitely better than the Asus ones I've tried in games (Essence ST, HDAV1.3 and U1) imo. In music and most movies though the Asus ones (minus the U1) easily beat this mobo sound.

Just as a note, I had to update the BIOS to version F6 because the BIOS wouldn't load. Luckily my old version of windows still operated so I managed to update it through the @bios software in windows and it now the bios works just fine.

If I remembered correctly...I told you so. I have mine side by side with my 4770k n the wife's 2500k..big difference between all 3 when comparing each tier to the following.

Edit: after playing the 5820k as well on the deluxe mobo. I see Asus' default max voltage in its auto oc is 1.280~1.284. Anything else will have to be applied by the user... So far I've hit 4.7 stable at 1.29.

Also throw some waterblocks on those cards.

Yeh definitely a big difference. I haven't had a chance to play many games though but of the 20min of BF4 I played, I didn't notice much difference except that I no longer have the 2D clock speed bug in my 780s which is good. According to CPU-Z my voltage is at 1.187V which from what I've read is pretty high for a 4.1ghz OC but it is an auto-overclock after all so I'll tinker with it in a couple of weeks time when my mid-semester assessment is complete (gawd damn uni, although I'm looking forward to the 25th of Sept.) and see where I feel the CPU is most comfortable at.

haha yeh I should liquid-cool those 780s but tbh, I'd rather stick with air at the moment. They do get a little loud under load but by that stage the game I'm playing will mean I'll either be wearing headphones or blasting my speakers so I can't really hear them all that much. Also I've found them to be pretty poor overclockers if I'm honest. I'm thinking it is mainly because they are pretty heavily OCed from the factory but I don't know why really. The 580 SOC I had last year and a year or two before that overclocked like a beast yet it was OCed heavily from the factory too. Silicon lottery I guess.

Best way is to use the "Report" button. Or just shoot any of the mods a PM, it will get around

On the thread topic...

Nice setup man. i just want to ask if you really cant use the bottom fan mounts if you are using an mATX board?

sneekypeet · Sep 14, 2014

I could have filled them. With SLI or xfire it would be an issue.

I got my room back with extras. My speakers are up here but parents forgot my HDMI cable. No tv for me.

GorbazTheDragon · Sep 15, 2014

I know the feeling. My boarding school room feels so empty compared to the one I left back at home

Really missing the 2 full square metres of desk space to just leave stuff lying around. And my laptop stand... And all the electronic goodies my dad had but I used more than he did... Also, missing the do-whatever-the-hell-you-want-on-the-internet policy... I've been without multiplayer games for a month...

I have this pretty good desktop but it won't run. Can't do much on my laptop as it hits thermal limits before 100% loads. No HDMI cable so what I could run, I can't run nicely. ALL THE LITTLE THINGS!

Oh yeah, how's the new rig/rig update going?

Motherboard is at my adoptive mother's house, and the guy I'm buying the 4790k from just got back in town. I'm guessing in a month I'll have it running. MMMM I CAN'T WAIT. :banghead:

Oh and there was a case on the FS section that I was looking at. It was that sexy black/white/blue Raidmax case that I can't find again. Oh how my wallet doesn't show love for me.

GreiverBlade · Sep 18, 2014

Air540 finally here (well judging by the general state of the case, i know now why i got a 50% on it xD still i love it! (3*120 front 2*140 top) plus now i can re use my 20+4/6/8 extension

and new house (not so new in the end ... it's the Spec 01) for the old bag (re used 2 of the 3 140 bundled with the 540)

springs113 · Sep 18, 2014

Nice rig @GreiverBlade. What was wrong with the case, I am on my cell so cant really tell.

some small trace of use (mostly a demo case i think) but nothing big, a bit of cleaning and : "like new"

one of my biggest concern is the sideway 5.14... they have the place to put it normally (edit ... nope they didn't ... duh...) ... oh well i guess if i buy a R.O.G Frontbase i will have to tilt my head right side to read it ...

I guess no biggie then, I think there was someone here who got lucky and got that case for like 30 bucks, I wish. My luck has never been that good.
