Your PC ATM

[Ruru]

My loop is probably 3 times that, but it's spread out i guess. My PC is so heavy now i can hardly lift the tower lol.

Yea... wonder how much my 2nd PC's loop is as there's the Eisbaer AIO unit and 240x30 + 240x45 rads.

More than what you probably think.

My rads are 360x60 and 360x45

Good one!

I thought you'd find that amusing!

Well, since the chatter in here has been somewhat fun and nice, I'd had a slight change with my setup recently so I thought I'd share that with everyone....

For starters I'll explain briefly...
I have a very good mate local to me who had a 4k screen.. 4k has had me interested in it for a while since my previous 'best' screens where my 3 Dell 3008 monitors (2560 x 1600 - oh how I miss the desktop space....) so I've been eagerly waiting to get my hands on a better screen than my 3 1080P 60Hz LG IPS panels.
So this one, is still only 60Hz but it is more importantly, 4k res. Just for comparisons, the monitor to the left of it, its a 27" 1080P panel Iiyama screen also from the same mate who has lent me the 4k panel.
Downsides for me with this screen are simply its size... Its a 43" monitor, being at best 3 feet away (36 inches or around 90cm/900mm however you take it...) its too big. If I was further back it would be less of a problem. Sadly, I'm not.
The upsides for me is definitely the res, 4k is massive when browsing and such like as I have the WCG/FAH/Rosetta threads to update, grabbing that data with this screen is great. Most websites I've been/go to, really are focused on a 1080P screen, nothing else really matters as such. When loading it in 4k, its just wasted space, like the C&C Online 'free to play' game I seem to still be playing every so often.
But I really do love the res, so I will have to switch out my 3 1080P panels for at least 1 4k screen, 3 preferably as I love the immersion whilst gaming

Oh and whilst I'm at it, I'll just share these two pics with you (more to follow in my project thread when I can get around to updating that thing.... sigh) with plans for this lot.....
Empty box picture.....

Because I simply was not willing to put the motherboards on top of each other in their boxes like that

Spoiler: Spoiler!!

, I just thought putting them on the desk was a better option

Thankfully, I have enough RAM for all the motherboards and CPUs to to test, I hope to heck I can get time to get them all tested I'll update my project log for the specs and such later and any test results I get with the systems

Crazy Phill, out!

Thank you both for the kind words Just a little bit of what I have been able to collect and what I keep I hope that I can actually get around to testing and using it tomorrow.. We'll see how Sophia fairs my chances

Simple and clean build. I like that.

Also seeing phill's pic made me want to post a pic of my boxes.

My other (retro) motherboard boxes are in my clothing room tho. Sorry about that.

 

[freeagent]

Got my sons rig and mine mostly done.. he could use some more storage.. there are two old 545S 256GB in it.. could use a couple more TBs, and maybe a gpu

Mine is still a bit ghetto.. The pic doesn’t do it justice, the lights on the board look really nice imo. I added a 24v NMB at the rear, and mounted it with rubber.. I just let it run at 12v it’s quiet. I do want my black and whites back lol.. but for now he can use them..

Both looks nice, could use even better cable management but otherwise nice setups there

Oh yeah I know, but honestly.. I have been up since 330am because that is my normal wake-up time lol.. but I am tired, and will probably do it some other time

Not really much more that I can do with mine, but there are a couple of things I could do some other time heheh. It was a good day today. Got two rigs up and overclocked in a stable manor. The last time I tried to do this I spent 12 hours trying to bring a dead board back to life before I sent it back. And my boy was pretty disappointed. Since that was my old computer it is running at 2K 1:1 flat 16s 1.45v with PBO with jelly. Now I just gotta find something to do with my Z77 OC Formula. I do have some good BBSE and some old school Hypers..

2 months of headache later, TV machine is back up with some Rev.E and a Strix-I.

4400 18-22-22 @ 1.5V. Coming from fussy B-die and Gigabyte nightmares, this level of effortlessness ought to be illegal

I thought I was the only one that woke up in that time. Guess it must be a Canadian thing.

If you go all the way back to Post No. 1, you can see how PC building has changed from being functional to being functional and attractive. I'll need to get some shots of my current PC. Here's one that I built around 2011. AMD Athlon III X3 with 8GB DDR3 RAM.

A 430-watt Thermaltake power supply at the top and a tiny 512MB Nvidia video card. There's a cheap $15 box cooler for the CPU. I think the hard drive was a 100GB SSD with a 500GB spinning drive for video storage. I also had a CD/DVD drive. Much of this was repurposed (CPU, RAM, PSU, both drives) using a mini-ITX Asus motherboard in a Raijintek Metis case. I gave this to a neighbor kid who was going into his first year at community college. It was his first computer and perfect for non-gaming use, which I explained to him.

Sure PC ownership is breeding Kleptomania somewhat
