moar teasing? hint: the "something" is actually named after the father of Triton
confirmation around the 2-3 July

Just a few thoughts.

 

[MIRTAZAPINE]

(GreiverBlade)^^ That Triton cooler. /drools/
(ViperXTR)^^ A very clean set-up. I like that bike helmet there. What is that headphone?


I finally put back my PC together. It is a small ATX case measuring 40cm by 40cm by 19cm. Yep my pc looks like cartoon robot. I bought it as I thought it was real cute and it is entertaining poking its eye to turn on the pc. I love it for its tiny size and that emotional appeal of that "face". My power supply is too large that is block the cable management holes. I still have some mods I want to do to this case such as adding fans to it and having the Hard drive cage drilled out to fit long graphic cards but I don't have the tools available for that. I may need to ghetto my way to do that.


The case inside empty.

Spoiler

Putting it all in. Wiring things up and cable management Putting those motherboard header is always takes alot of patience in tight space like that. It tried alot of ways trying to manage the cables. Since there are no cable management holes I have to get creative by sliding it through the 5.25" drive holes to route the wires and I route the front header cable between the pci slot.

Spoiler

Final completion and size comparison with 3.5 inch HDD.

ahah i love that case ... specially the front, well GMC case always have been quite the looker ... i have to dig a bit ... now i remember a case that i fancied ...

yeah that one the R4 Bulldozer


almost day off and i know that Triton will not be a orphan the blood related parent will be here soon enough i hope so i can refresh a bit my rig (i need to do some maintenance and i have some time luckily )

@AsRock another hint since the outcome of the giveaway has been confirmed more on the build improvement on the 2 july (if everything goes as planed ... which is rarely the case with shipping )

That bulldozer case look so different than "normal" haha. I love the disc drive loading from that bulldozer scope. I don't know there are so many cases for GMC. I got my GMC case just for the small size and it's look. It is not a very practical case, I would recommend to go for normal cases and just modify those to your liking instead. An atx board is already a tight fit for my eye robo and the metal is rather thin. My case came in bend at the place where the power supply attach. I got to used pliers with the end taped up to prevent scratch and bending it out. I forced my evga power supply through it and did a couple of knocks. This case seems to be a better fit for an itx board rather than a standard atx. I could not attach a disc drive into its mouth as the atx board is too big. That is not a problem though I don't use a cd drive. I plan to use its mouth as a fan intake to improve airflow. It is not a very rugged case and it not of very high quality though its ok compensate on that. This is my first pc build in years, I will go with a different case the next time.

 

[GreiverBlade]

step 1 on 2 ... well despite all i did read on the Raijintek Triton, no issues a pure breeze (i see why it got a 9/10 on instalation process ) since i took a core version : i use whatever fan i want and add the Dye if i would mind having a... well no, clear tubing +2 white led (less bright than the stripe i use in the case) is enough, the only cons (if i can call that a cons ...) is the length and the softness of the tubing: they are a bit too long at my taste but i can rectify that later, thanks to the compression fittings.
tho the 8.0 note in the test is right (albeit the fact that my unit is not loud at all ... i can barely hear the pump with the case open, ok maybe the 1800rpm SP120L are quieter than the normal 1000-2600rpm i need to put my 2000rpm JetFlo 120L again xD)

edit: nope it's not a AIO ... it's a already mounted loop has actually a bigger amount of liquid in it and ... it's for a good cause (and now due to that cooler ... i wonder how corsair can still continue to do as they do ... when nearly all other brand does better and cheaper ... or a bit more expensive but at last worth it ...)

backplate and cleaning


lil' vanity shot and yep ... Takoko is still here

well no dye give a good eerie glow



small anti nvidia joke : no Titan can attack my rig ... Mikasa is watching over it (easy reference)


and what i am waiting for the 02.07.2015

i'm sure you already did guess it @AsRock with all the hints
well from a 290 to a 980 hum not quite the upgrade i hoped, i would have preferred a Fury X or a Ti, but i am not the kind that look at the teeth of a given horse
positive point since it's a Poseidon, no need to completely strip the GPU loop i just switch the 2 card ... and gift my R9 290 to a friend to replace his GTX760
a card that can work on air and has a wb+bp ... well ASUS, what else ... (regarding some post about RMA, made me laugh not because of them but because of me ... i had countless Asus hardware, from a Striker Extreme and a Screen Duo, a 8800Ultra a GF4 Ti4200 a HD4870, a 9800 GT Matrix to a Maximus VII Ranger and even my R9 290 is a reference design Asus ... and never got a RMA no pieces from them ever failed me ... "knock on wood" , well OK the HD4870 and the 9800 GT Matrix are technically out of order )

 

[AsRock]

Looks cool, been wanting to water cool my 290X just for the fun of it but the price takes the "FUN" out of it lol. Gotta say i am kinda surprised that you thought a 980 would be a upgrade.

Nice of you to give your 290X to some one, it's always nice to do when possible. One thing for sure your friend got a much better upgrade .

Yeah if i could afford a Fury X and think it be worth getting i be putting a 120x38 fan on that thing haha.

my 290(non X) use a 240X60 Phobya G-Changer 240v2 (so will the Poseidon )

edit ... oh fan ... well only 4 Corsair SP120L non regulated on 12V xD (2 for the Triton and 2 for the G-Changer)

and i didn't thought a 980 would be a upgrade over a 290(non X) it just happened that i have won that card in a giveaway hosted by one of my local retailer and since i am of neither side ... so then i think "why not"

at last i didn't got a 970 ... i would have sold it or gift it instead of the 290

so ... i got a "you will receive it on the 2nd july" yesterday ... but this morning something was sitting in my mailbox... a delivery notice, i go to the post i get a huge cardboard box ... within it anoter box from ASUS Netherland, and in it ... another box ... a bit more decorated:




my reaction on unboxing ...


to be continued, after driver cleaning emptying the loop and swap the card

done and done just tested the fittings on the card as the rest of the loop was already secured.




and two better shot... dunno my Honor 4X seems to prefer the opened case and no flash

 

[Compgeke]

My brother had a Core 2 Duo that's suffered a motherboard failure and his birthday's coming up, figured I'd throw him together another computer with parts of his old one and other spare stuff I had.



HP M9400f chassis
2.4 GHz Phenom X4 9750
4 GB DDR2
1 TB WD Blue HDD (kind of a waste - motherboard doesn't support AHCI)
GeForce 8800GTS 512 meg (not really new but it runs Minecraft)
Random Startech 450W PSU I had laying around. Not a great one but it's more than 300W and has PCI-e power.

 

[GreiverBlade]

ROGjintek anyone?

since my case is sideways on the desk and i could not find a good spot for that badge ... (well on the window ... but ... no.) minor change ...

annndd i'm done ... i have a good rig ... the peripheral i use are totally fitting me ... the in games performance is pleasing as is the overall performance (not that it wasn't already good when i had my cpu loop and the 290, but still) and thanks to nvidia ... i have to use drivers that are almost 4 month old for stability, with AMD the 14.12 where perfect (for me) except for VSR feature who wasn't compatible with my screen but with Nvidia DSR is compatible and work like a charm (yes... 1st part is a rant about the "nvidia driver are superior" and second part is a praise on "well DSR work, COOL!" )

also another positive side ... is now i can stream my games to my Shield Tablet and playing Blazeblue: Calamity Trigger in my bed with the gamepad is ... relaxing (even better hooking the shield to my TV and poof console ...)
and i can use the Shield Gamepad wired on my PC (altho it's not as comfortable as a X360 one for wireless and analog thumbstick placement )

I have this beast lying around. Yep thick 120mm delta! 57.6 watts of power required for this fan, it would make a noctua fan blush in shear jealousy. I was looking around for case fan and old timers don't quite like noctua and say to go for a delta. I think I had gone overkill way overkill. I don't know the rpm of this beast the seller said that it run at 7000 rpm (I am keeping my fingers away from it). I do managed to getto rig the strange connector to molex to see how it spins. Those dual ball bearing fan blades makes me fear for my fingers as it spins. It can blow things out to 3 to 4 meters away. The curtain is flying about as I pointed this to the window, those high rpm is probably true. It is very loud.

I need to find a way to get wires to that strange connector and also I have to figure out a way to make a pwm fan controller or find one. There is no way I want to run this fan at 7000 rpm doing work. I have been delaying this and have not been getting around doing it. I got 4 delta beast just waiting to be used.

 

[Compgeke]

That's actually a server fan connector of some sort afaik.

If you have a soldering iron you can snip the server connector off and run molex to the power lines (red and black) and run the remaining (blue and yellow) to a PWM fan connector and have some speed control rather than trying to find a voltage-based controller that won't burn up from the power draw.

pay attention to your finger or anything that might come near that Delta, when it's running ...

Fingers and hair lol, ooh and it's self lol. my PANA fan blade hit some thing and it took 3 blade's of it and pretty sure it take ya finger off to if it had the chance .

Dam evil fan that was and unlike most the blade's are sharp ( as they should be )

i had the tip of my index (and a bit of the nail) taken off by a Scythe Ultra Kaze 5000 ... but i would gladly reorder them ... in 3k rpm model ... 2 piece : less than 17chf at my etailer

Heck, if you guys like fast fans, I have a bundle of these from my mining days. They are refered to as the "mighty GHEs" in mining circles. Frickin high airflow:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835213001

Have about 5 of them. Not doing anything... I may be in the selling game for cheap if anyone wants to snatch em up in the USA. Like seriously, S+H and not much else.

May have to make a proper giveaway style thread before I can do that though... but they could take off a finger for sure!

You won a GTX 980!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You lucky , it also matches your system being an Asus!!!

I need to post some updated pictures of my rig, just did some serious maintenance to it including adding another SSD for Raid 0 (since I like to live dangerously).

I like fast and think fans purely as it can give extra cooling when needed as we all cannot afford to run a air con all day

 

[GreiverBlade]

H-hi guys

macho macho faaaan! it's gotta be a macho fan! macho macho faaaan! it's gotta be a macho!

lovely rig

You won a GTX 980!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You lucky , it also matches your system being an Asus!!!

well ... lucky it was a ASUS ROG giveaway .. otherwise i would not even take the time to enter and also ... yush i'm lucky as hell this year, and funny but that's the only mean to sway me to green side (until the price madness and this even in 2nd hand market, fall down ...)

green side ... but my rig is RED! that's almost a... *memory hole* what's the word already?

ahaha just noticed your sig ... lucky me i didn't based my build on a brand (more on the price and occasion of the moment )

 

[Devil-Walker]

Got my set up on a custom water loop. the tubes are yellow and i wasnt thinking at the time wen i got them that the blue liquid that came with the kit is blue so it would look green. im not a big fan of the green but its performing great. my gpu bearly breaks a sweat 39- 42c on full load boosted to 1510mhz lol. cpu is doing great to 45c wen gaming. this is my first time doing a water loop. i have a push and pull on the rad thats on the back and yes im running a single rad, at least for the moment. i do plan to upgrade the loop later.

 

[Gachr]

I did some upgrades since the last time I've posted here, my favourite being the new mobo:

 

[GreiverBlade]

related to my pc atm ... and my room, actual ambient temperature : around 35° then i noticed that i had a Delta 160w PSU (the form factor name elude me ...TFX? ) a bunch of case fans lying almost everywhere in the room and ... in the rig (but those does not help to cool a overclocked user ... only CPU/GPU ), after testing a corsair AF140 (which was nice but not enough ) i decided to go 12V unlimited Cooler Master JetFlo 120 white at 2000rpm and not in a case : raw on the desk, i need to craft a little support tho the rubber edge of the fan helps a lot, noisy? nope not that much, efficient ? at cooling yep, at power consumption? dunno.

so i hereby present you my "Super Ultra Efficient Custom Made Anti Overheat of an Overclocked Human Being Fan" or in short ... "S.U.E.C.M.A.O.O.H.B.F" (hurf ... not so short ... )


now i think i need to find a fan guard for the intake side ...

next upgrade .... hummm maybe a 360X360 fan mounting rack and 9 Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000...
