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

[yotano211]

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.

It's worth a post but you can always donate money to my PayPal or onlyfans.

Sorry no donations. My economy is all ready to empty after this build. I have saved up for years to make this build possible and not spend money on other things like going to other countries and such.

To get one thing, you will have to settle with not getting other things in return. Economic priorities sort of speak.

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.

I use winamp almost daily still my top music player

The same here. It's my daily driver of music player software and has been for the last two decades.

It's sounds great to me mate!! I look forward to the future updates!! I think the Strix might be the better card, but think you'll pay through the nose for it... Strix cards are always massively over priced I think sadly

 

[Athlonite]

I've used WinAmp ever since I got it free on an old Boot Magazine Disc brilliant player for MP3's and the visualisations are good to relax to just put on a song sit back and watch while the brain dissipates into the ether

Agreed Strix is an exspensive card. That is also why i have the tuf card as a second solution.

There are actually one thing more i will change over time. That 4 TB wd red hdd. Will be replaced by a bigger HDD as original intented. But i am waiting hdd prises to go down first again.

It's really cool to see people excited for your build! So much badassery in such a small space

yeah. It´s nice that the hard work is apresiated. But i am also happy my self of cause. This has been a dream come true. When i can get a proper GPU. It gonna be great, for every thing i am going to do on this machine.

 

[Tomgang]

Here are the first benchmark of the system. Cinebench R23.

For 5600X i am limited by cooling and for 5950X i am limited by the EDC power limit. I´m trying to figure out how to by pass the 200 amp limit, cause that holding me back.

5600X stock

5600X PBO OC

5950X stock

5950X PBO OC

Eww.

 

[Tomgang]

So i finally figured out how to by pass the power limit for 5950X. So here is what a none power limit and fine tuned 5950X can do on air cooling. CPU-Z bench and Cinebench R20/R23

A little update. Until further notice, I have decided to put my gpu upgrade on hold. Believe me, I really want a new gpu, but my sence tells me that there are potential economic dangers ahead.

The reason is I see the world economy stability at little to fragile now and potentially cause a new financial crisis.

The US government fighting over the dedt ceiling is stupid and dangerous.
China Evergrande's economic troubles and there potential collapse that could trigger financial hardship in China and spread out in China and the world. The the Chinese General economic slow down i find worrying to.

The energy crisis in Europe on gas and power is troublesome and I live in Europe.
Inflation and stagflation with the interest rate problems together with central banks potential troubled to control it.
Housing markets around the world is sky high and a fall cut end ugly.
Stock market is probably overvalued and highly nervous right now. So a sell out is apselutely possible with all the bad news comming out lately.
Around the world and in my country as well, it's hard to get workers so a overheated market is in the process of happening. Just see what troubles it gives UK now with the petrol delivery problem.
General problems in getting things shipped.
Dedt has grown up under the corona crisis and I a nervous for that as well.
For not to forget that the government financial guard dog in my country has just warned about a potential financial crisis. Maybe not so bad as the 2008 crisis, but still something rather grim.

There are just to many reasons why the global market cut get hit by a new financial crisis right now and the comming months ahead. So I find it needed to save money and try to prepare for a new crisis and get my savings growing in stead of using. The new pc have empty my savings a lot.

There is a good news as well. The pc in it self, working great. No troubles after I fixed the last bugs.

Stay tuned. If everything goes to plan. Next week I will have a brand new EVGA rtx 3080 FTW3 ultra gaming card none TI comming to my door. So yeah not a TI card. My economy simply can't handle the price tag and given my statement above, I will not risk empty my account to much and a financial crisis hitting the world short after.

But with a rtx 3080, that's still a significant upgrade over my current gtx 1660 super and the best part i got the rtx 3080 to near msrp thanks to my friend that hooked me up with this card as he works in a electronics store.

Well I have broken the law before and I can do it again

Rules are meant to be broken...

Besides pictures of nake hardware is illegal to post right?

It here, my new GPU. Say hello to EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA. Now it´s out with the GTX 1660 SUPER and in with a proper GPU. i will post more image, when it is in my pc. Dont know when throw.
Thanks to a friend of mine, i got this card to nearly MSRP price.

Mean while enjoy some image of the card it self.

So i´m back with an update and i will tell a little bit of what i have done to make it work with 2 systems and 1 psu and of cause show of the new gpu in the system.

So the problem with the psu is no matter if 1 or bofh systems are turned on. It sends power out to all sata and molex cable. That means bofh my fan controllers will all ways be on and all fans are spinning and the same goes for sata HDD/SSD. That´s not something i can live with as it is waste of power, wear and tear on components.

So here is what i dit to by pass those problems.

First i got my hands on a simple sata controller with on/switch for op to 4 drives and 3 are in use now. This allows me to turn on only the needed drives or no sata drives at all. Saving bofh power and wear and tear at the same time. Also minimisses HDD spin up and down times and making them last longer. So on the image below you seed the little simple controller. Got it on amazone.de if any one would want to know.

Here is what i dit to control power to fan controllers. I simply took 2 molex exstention cables and cut the 12 volt wire and made it longer and put a on/off switch be tween that wire so i can cut power to the controller not in use. Home made by me.

A look from back of the pc, so the switch´s can be seen on sata controller and my home made solution to fan controllers.

For all the Lian Li Uni fan SL120 i use 2 controllers to control the RGB. Yes i know first image has the controller turned down, i had to do it so some cable cut reach the controller and connect properly. The seconds controller is hitten behind a closure normaly to hide wire mess. But here you get it unsesored. The controller is at the buttom of the image.

Next up is another problem that needed fixed. Dark Hero only has 2 USB 2.0 headers and i need 3 (2 for the rgb controllers to fans and 1 for the fan controller). So i got a USB 2.0 splitter. Again up side down so cables cut connect properly and there is one left if i feel like to more upgrades in the future.

Lastly the new NVMe SSD coolers with fans. The little mini-itx system has one as well, but cant be seen as it is hidden by GPU and a PCIe riser cable.

And now for the GPU.

I had to re wire more 8 pins cables as this card needs 3 8 pins. So before and after.

Rear side with new GPU

And a few image with the GPU in it.

That was all.
