Your PC ATM

Absolutely gorgeous

I like the idea of screw caps.

Any chance you can remove the logo labels from the Strix cards or the motherboard? Either to just plain leave them off or to replace them right-side-up.

Thanks for the compliments.

I am still planning on getting waterblocks for the GPUs. As far as the Motherboard goes, I am still working up the courage to mess with the logos on such a crazy expensive board.

Friend asked me to get him a better GPU. He has a HD6770 and a CX430. So I scored a HD7850 for $56 off of E bay. The guy had a bunch of them it looks in good shape

Nice pics, but it would be better if people used spoilers instead, to speed up page loads.

If for no reason, find used gear so you can have more smexy bang for your buck...lol

Yeah, if I were to buy anything used, its going be a Intel mobo with an i5-4690k or something. Im just about done with AMD cpu's.... been running them since my rig in my signature below, and honestly if my current build wasn't built backwards..... I would already have an intel set up.

Nothing really wrong with my 8350, would just like better single core performance for gaming, since that is what I mainly do.

But yeah, essentially I upgraded to my 8350, which forced a mobo upgrade, which forced a PSU upgrade (Hence the backwards build... lol) Learned my lesson though.... and my rig still performs great for now.

General-use setup as it stands.

The sag is real.

 

[AsRock]

Just use some string or fishing wire to get rid of the sag .

Things are coming together for my probably to be new primary machine.

My new companion: PowerEdge T300 with quadcore Xeon @2.83Ghz and 6GB DDR2-800 ECC... Not too shabby, but a bit on the noisy side.

This my PC now. I just gotten my EVGA platinum power supply from RMA, never expected that to go faulty. Not very satisfied with the Rma there are minor paint scratches on the PSU. I'll save this for another time. I got a case but I swear I would go insane if I have to unscrew and unplug devices from a compact case to troubleshoot problems. So far my motherboard is RMA and my power supply. Oh gosh it cost so much for shipping. And now my long and frustrating PC horror story below.


Got PC working up again after a week or 2 of frustration. Got to reinstall Windows as my windows 7 have problems that sfc scannow can't fix and a repair install could not work as my windows 7 is not the latest one. Tried to get an up to date windows 7 iso from Microsoft website but it would not accept my license even after trying it many times as mine is not a retail copy but something like an Oem. I got a windows 8 license so I tried to upgrade the windows 7 with an upgrade install. It fails miserably to say the least. It could not find the boot sector and I could not repair it. Damn after taking the ssd out backing out the stuff I need taking a few hours. I comeback and wipe the partition of my windows 7. It should all be a breeze right? No is not. Windows 8 cannot detect my ssd. A few restart does not help it. I am close to giving up already and I am so angry that I felt like throwing the PSU and the rest of the Pc out of the window. Trawl the net for solutions no obvious one found, the only thing I found is to try wipe and fill my ssd with zeroes. So that is what I did took a few hours. Plug my ssd and try do a windows 8 install. It finally found it. I install it everything seems to go smoothly. Got to activate windows, update it and all the things. Things seems running. I forgotten what problem I face here. But I decided that I should go for an Uefi install rather than a legacy bios that windows 8 by default install with. So I did that it is not as simple as it is.


Same thing as previously happen SSD have problem detecting again another round zeroing of SSD. Uefi is a new thing for not much instruction online so I install it by changing all setting in my bios to uefi for all setting I don't know what they meant though. Windows is install but I realised it is very slow. And the updates keep hanging. It just hang at 42nd update file, I thought I can try waiting but after a few hour it is still the same... Restart many times. It managed to install but it takes a long time that I find that something is amiss. Gave up and go back to legacy install. Same process of wiping ssd again and all the trouble with it again. Ok got legacy install back up. This should be over by now but my pc would blue screen showing an irql_not_less_or_equal..... Got a fresh install again same problem. Read up in on the net found it could be ram going faulty. I am getting so so tired and pissed at this Pc now. So I gave up put memtest on thumbdrive tested the ram. All stick on and errors are found immediatly. I decided to renounce my worldly attachment to PC and start testing ram one by one in a zen like state. More than 40 hours later all rams check fine. Put all rams again and memtest, many hours again zen state. It is fine. It is probably due to the ram not making good contact with the motherboard pins. Clean ram pins with alchohol and also the motherboard pin. Reattach do another memtest.


Now on Windows 8 uefi install. Try another reinstall all the same process. Same problem. This went many times. Read about more about UEFI implentations and I just got something saying in me to disable CSM from the bios. I did that install windows 8 uefi and everything finally just finally went smoothly. It looks like CSM enable is trying to load bios related things in my windows 8 install causing that problem
Have got my pc updated to windows 8.1. There are minor issues to ironned out still but some can be overlook. I am glad that my sanity is intact as I don't think it would if this go on further.

Say that again, i missed it.

weird summer ... i have to to a custom loop for a friend and ... out of stock of the parts i want, since i don't want to order different parts, i just use my current loop for his build ahah

so then until they restock, i guess i will use

it's a core edition no fans under 80chf and inspected the AIO no overtightening no transport damage ... i guess i will be fine with a AIO for some time (well that kind of expendable AIO are a little notch above CLC )

twist of fate? Triton ... i might have something to go along the name tag ... soon (just wish me luck xD )
dang i need a bit more pics but no time lately, that will have to wait time for job
