Your PC ATM

[SN2716057]

Upgraded my VR&HTPC with a RTX 3070.

The Lamptron fan controller will go as it's no longer needed.

My PC got a little upgrade. more HDD and two new GPU´s. RTX A2000 and a RTX 4090. Se more about here if you want to: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...-in-1-case-all-air-cooled.283169/post-4859387

This is my bench for testing multiple things. In this scenario I'm testing the Noctua NF-A12x25 FLX with a Lamptron fan controller to hear if there is an annoying tone at certain voltages (there is unfortunately).

Maan, I love the look of that little bugger from Nvidia. Gotta say one of the more unique systems I've seen posted lately: two PCs in one case, perpendicular fan controllers? in the 5.25 bay. Definitely not something I see everyday.

Whit bugger I assume you mean rtx a2000?

The fancontrollers is one for each system and is aqua computer aquaero 6 xt. Properly one of the best controllers out there, but also expensive. They can control not only fans bofh pwm and voltage control. But also waterpumps, RGB light among other things. I use them because of the fans. This means I can directly control fans via software in windows and I don't have to go to bios every time I want to change something. Like fan curve or speed. It can be done on the fly. Much faster to optimize fans depending on load and temperature.

This is my dream pc I built last year. Only gpu's dit not go as planned to begin with. But I have changed that now as well.

What I think is one of things that makes this system rare and special,is that I keep it aircooled. Systems like this. Tend to all ways to be water cooled. I wanted something different. It's built and designed by myself entirely.

Waiting to receive the AM5 bracket for the AIO that i just moved aside while mounting the AMD wraith cooler Also need do re-route some cables as the new motherboard has fan headers at the bottom and not at the top or sides, which is nice, will be tucked away.
Thought the RGBs on the GPU got dimmer but it's just the RAM that's bright as hell

And done, the Z73 is back on, idles in the 40s instead of the 60s. While doing Cinebench it hasn't gone over 90°C yet and score is around 4% better (14200 C23 multi). Now need to do the 3Dmark again, first stock and then with the GPU OC as i haven't done any real runs with this CPU yet. Then explore the BIOS a little more and try the ECO mode, was expecting a switch not manually entering mA but ok. Maybe try and get the RAM to run at CL36 (is there a DRAM calculator for DDR5 yet? ). And clean the dust and fingerprints from the glass, doesn't look that dusty in person

Kudos for creative use of space. I could never use a PC that way, especially as a test bench..

Latest upgrade to a Zotac RTX 4090 AMP Extreme:

Sorry for the cable mess, need to clean that up, hope you guys like it!

I am gonna jump on a leg here and make the wild assumption you might be an Evangelion fan Congratz on the GPU!

Thank you! And what would make you think that? jk jk!

Yes, huge fan of Eva, actually, I'm currently working on a little side project for a Unit 1 inspired rig

Will post pics once this pet project of mine is ready!

 

[Dr. Dro]

This frame case really grew on me. Hard to assemble, but... a total beauty once done. Will really put your cable management skills to the test, nowhere to hide the mess!

Thanks!
However most of the time it sit waiting on the shelf, along with other projects.

Ah, ok. So a once in a while thing. That makes more sense!

Time to sell my GTX 1070. With that money I can begin the process of buying a 3060Ti or 6750XT. But until I do, I still need a graphics card

Which means its time to pull out the GT 710. The Chaddest GT 710 out there:

Spoiler: Chad 710

This low profile single slot GT 710 is now 3 slots tall and takes up the width of a full size card. It just might be the most well cooled GT 710 out there with its 80mm fan and two heatpipes.

Overclocked the GK-208 die from 954MHz to 1309MHz (+350), a nice 37% OC

Spoiler: the OC

Haven't OCed the GDDR5 yet, get around to it soon.

Edit: added +300MHz(?) to GDDR5, 1253 -> 1553 according to GPU-Z. MSI Afterburner says +600. There is no way to modify power usage or voltage unfortunately

Edit 2: +375MHz is the highest stable OC, scoring 825 points in Furmark 720p. OCing the VRAM has negligible effect on performance as the GPU is just too slow. Cooler doing its job, max temp of 41C during the run, 29C idle

You should post this over in the GhettoMods thread. This fits perfectly.
EDIT: Not that it doesn't belong here. It's a hell of a ghettomod(in a good way) and would be a cool post over there.

I'm not sure how much of a ghettomod it is though, I grabbed the cooler off of AliExpress. The cheapo fan died after 3 weeks so had to buy an Arctic Cooling F8 to replace it.

That being said, if you want to screw around with the cooler it only costs $20.

Hi,
That site is ghetto

 

[freeagent]

Sad day for me today. I was putting my X3D back in, and I He-Manned one of the mounts on my FC140 and stripped it

Not sure if I can repair it. Sad day, back to my old cooler

I might buy a new one

first i think you make it dual card but one card for the bigger one and one card for smaller one

 

[Tomgang]

Yeah its a new gpu for each of the systems. The times with more gpu's in one system is over after sli and crossfire is dead. Several gpu's in system only happens in servers and those awful mining rigs. Yes I am not a fan of mining with gpu's.

 

[15th Warlock]

Finally got my Evangelion system up and running, I tried to make it my main system but there was no way in hell I could fit the 4090 in that midsized case.

My son and I ended up moving his PC from an old Half-XB case to the Eva inspired case, he got a nice upgrade to an RTX 3090 for his i9 10850KA as well.

Let me know what you guys think, hope all fans of Evangelion in this forum like this PC

Got home, showered up, grab my case and headed upstairs lol.. dinner break before I slap it back together

It’s so tiny!

But why do you need such a big SSD cooler?

I don't

But I got em if I need them later

All slapped together.. I will re route those RGB cables sometime other than today

All of the rainbow puke

I'm going to keep my C70 alive forever. It's the best case I have ever bought. Almost everything is metal, and it takes all the abuse without complaining.

Spoiler

Bought new in 2014, its first use was with a P5n-D and a core 2 q6600, with a pair of gtx 465's in sli. It has been through a myriad of builds since then.
All of which had been air cooled or clc.

Until recently, I had been running an Arctic LF280 at the top(not supposed to fit 280mm radiators) and it barely fits.
Since this case isn't equipped for a 280 rad; only two 140 fans, any 280 top rad can only be held with 4 screws

Spoiler: Clearance

It did manage to cool the vrm exceptionally well..
It just was a nightmare to R&R with this motherboard.

But! I finally decided to dive into custom watercooling... and it turned out to be an even bigger pain!
Doesn't compete in the realm of aesthetics, But it works great!

Spoiler: 1

Spoiler: 2

Tubing is messy because I wanted a specific flow.
Pump>GPU>Rad>CPU>Rad>Pump
These are from ~3 months ago, when I first assembled it.
The pump/res fits perfectly under the disk drive, and I've added some foam pads for vibration damping.

I have since replaced the clear tubing with epdm for longevity.

Didn't take any pictures then because it was an immense pain, and I wasn't in the mood.
Here's one from 5 minutes ago:

Spoiler: Current

The lighting isn't great atm, but the temps are!
Hottest I ever see on the cpu is 73c @~95w
The gpu only gets to 46 at ~360w!
Hotspot remains roughly 54-56, memory stays at ~54 also
Using Kritical 1.25mm pads.
No way to measure loop temp currently, But it's on my list.

Intake is 4 Noctua NF-P12, two in the front and two on the lower rad, pulling air over the drives.
Exhaust is 2 Arctic P14's at the top, and one corsair case fan from 2014 at the back.
Don't know how much its actually doing, But I'm keeping it alive too. I drop some 3 in 1 in the center of it every 6 months or so.

I don't really think my block/rad order is doing much, But I'm surprised temps aren't worse with how I'm recycling air.
Truly the best case investment of my life.
