Tomgang´s project 2 systems in 1 case. All air cooled.

[Tomgang]

Your build's complexity level is high and also brilliant, so expect a few speed bumps along the way.

Once again, Great Luck!

Yes I expect a few bumps. But there have been more than I had hoped for. But oh well, as long it works as intended in the end. I'm happy.

So this is it. It´s done. The hardware side of it is complete, i only need a new second monitor and some light over the desk to be finish it. Now i only need to install software and drivers on the systems and i am ready for action. All RGB are now connected and cables are manage (well as good i now cut do it, cause there are a lot of cables to a dual system with rgb and stuff). So the desk setup is nothing special, but i dit what i cut do.

Well here are some image of the finish result. Again my crappy phone ruins to catch the good image. The RGB looks much better in real life and so do the system it self. I really need to think of a new phon. Now here is the finish result. What ever you like it or not. This is how it´s gonna be for now. I had to improvise on the little monitor, so i made the wood under it as a tempoary solution. Until i can get a second monitor to mach the other new one.

So this is it. I am now officially moving away from X58.

That is awesome man! Really nice work there. I actually just ordered those same fans 5 minutes ago.. if they are the 3000s.

This will be my new X58 as well..

Thanks man. It was more work than first exspected, but it all works, it´s totally worfh the time spend on it.

About fans. Do you mean the Noctua IPPC fans? If that is what you mean. Then yes, the cpu fans are the 3000 RPM parts.

 

[freeagent]

Just one machine can be a lot of work, tuning a chassis for two machines is pretty intense But she turned out pretty nice man I really like that.

Yes I ordered a big n little setup for my FC140. My TY-143 had a stroke last night sometime between midnight and 730am

I had my Le Grand Macho RT and TY-143 installed to try it out with that CPU.

That is my second Thermalright fan to die on me within a year so I have lost trust in them. My poor 5900 was sitting in the 90s when I found her still under full load

It sure can be a lot of work to build to machines in to one case. But in the end, it turned out as i wanted it.

I cant say about thermalright fans. I have all ways only use corsair and noctua fans. Accept for some silverstone one´s back when i got X58. All have worked and performed great. I have never had a fan failure. Not prematurlig at least. I have replaced fans, but that´s because they got warned out. But Noctua will not let you down. They havent got there reputation out of nothing.

 

[Tomgang]

A little bonus image. Here is the side, most people dont wanna show. The backside and all the cable. Taken in to account how many cables this build has, i think it turned out pretty good. Trust me, so many cables are hard to get to look nice.

That is freakin crazy and Cool at the same time I love it great job @Tomgang

Glad you like it. Now it's time to have some fun with this build

Bitchin!

Aww, sad face...

Thanks

Even I have to admit defeat with X58. It simply can't keep up any more for my needs in more than one way.

I know. It's just that it was such golden long-lasting platform, it's hard to let it go. Especially when the 6core 1366 CPU's are still good performers! For reference, I have been running CyperPunk2077 on a W3680 without problems.

It has indeed been a a long lasting platform. I will keep X58 and make a retro gamer out of it, when I get time for it.

While It has performed well. It's no longer capable of doing the things, I need it to do. Also I am running out of memory now and then and I also need support for bigger drive capacity as boot drive and larger hdd. Also with the news about windows 11 needs that tmp 2.0, that really sealed X58 fate as no longer capable for my needs/wishes.

Just a little video demo of system RGB, just a simple demo. Sorry about video quality is garbage and the breathing in the video.

I have dropped the vurtical gpu mount for the atx system, do to i had to make some changes. Can not be seen in the video. No matter what, I had to drop it, when I get a good gpu, do to high on the rtx cards. It can't be there do to the cpu cooler.

I got other heatsinks with a little fan for the nvme ssd. Those 980 pro are some running SSD's. So far good temp on the atx system. Today I will see what the temp are for the mini itx.

Mounted a adapter for sata hdd and SSD, to switch them on and off. Do to psu sends power to all cables no matter what system is on. That will be molex, pcie and sata devices. So I had to do it. Else one hdd would not be properly shut down by parking redhead before powering off, as it's not told by system to do so.

For the same reason, I have gettho mode some wiring to the fan controllers, so i can turn them of for the system not currently running.

Now here is the video. Nothing special. In the video only the atx system is on as that's where I control the RGB light from accept off cause the RGB memory on mini utx system. So far with the latest changes. It's running really great now.

@Tomgang how noisy are the cooler for your 980 Pro's and how good is temps now?

 

[Tomgang]

@Tomgang how noisy are the cooler for your 980 Pro's and how good is temps now?

You can here the little fans. They are spinning at around 10000 rpm at full blast. It's not annoyingly loud, but I am not so noise sensitive. But it does have the little whining sound to them, I think some people would find it annoying.

But it's not a problem for me and thanks to the fancontrolleres I have in the system. I can run it passive, Semi-passiv or full active cooled. For now I run them Semi-passiv. So at ilde and low load they are not spinning at all. Ilde temp is 40 to 44 degrees in ilde passive cooled for the nand flash and controller hovering around 42 to 50 degrees. Full load it's 47 degrees and 57 degrees respectively for nand and controller. These temp are for atx system. I can't say about the mini itx yet and that's where the real heat problem is.

When fans are running, I can control them from around 2000 rpm and up to the 10000 rpm mark. It's voltage controlled. These heatsink does not support pwm despite having a 4 pin connector. There is only 3 pin in use. Voltage and rpm signal.

Dam you, I was checking my Skype account. I thought I was getting messages on Skype, yes I still use it.

Hahaha sorry . It hard to have friends and make a video at the same time. Constantly sending messages.

It's cool. At least I don't feel old when another person confirms they still use Skype. I don't use zoom, and I've only used discord a few times.

 

[Tomgang]

I dont feel old using Skype. But I do feel old for still using Winamp. You can see it in the video that it's open with another skin.

Well sometimes when it old and still works great. You just end op using that, instead of trying other software. For mp3 music playing. Nothing beats Winamp. Not even so many years after it came out.

Wow I haven't heard of Winamp in awhile. I've never used it, had no need of it but some gamer only friends used to use it, i would hear them use it. I still use Firefox, i think only 5% of people use it.

What a coincidence. I as well use Firefox. I hate Google Chrome and internet explorer is a security hassle these days. Egde I don't know why I don't use it. Again when I'm used to use some thing. I stick to what I like to use. I have not tried other browsers.

Hahaha, I don't bother with other browsers. I tried to use Chrome but didn't like it.
I customized the Firefox buttons at locations I liked and I couldn't do that with Chrome. Maybe Chrome can customize button locations but I couldn't find how too or couldn't find it. 1 hour later deleted Chrome, opened Firefox.
Like you, I'll stick to what I'm happy with.

Great log there @Tomgang Thanks for sharing!!

Any further plans for the rig/s at all?

No only as mentioned. Better gpu as rtx 3080 ti and maybe rtx 3050 low profile cooler if that comes to desktop.

And a better matching second monitor.

Else it is pretty much as I want it now.

Besides I have all ready spent more than enough money on it as it is now. Now it's time to spend money on other things like new furniture.
