Your PC ATM

[Apocalypsee]

well you did a preatty good job on the case!

Thank you, have to make do with what I have The case is alright apart from the problem I mentioned. Its small for ATX case which is what I wanted. Going to do some cable management next. Will update how it looks like, if it did looks better

 

[Apocalypsee]

I can't find any info of the case, the box it come from only gave a name COOLMAN but I cant find the exact same case, so I do reverse image search on Google. I find the same case with different name, Mars Gaming MCX Midtower. The reason is I wanted to read the user manual, if any, on how to install the drive properly on the case.

Apparently there is one more 2.5 inch location beside the PSU at the back of the motherboard tray. That's good to know

A little something i cobbled together from used gear for the misses.....

Name and model of the case please ?

 

[sneekypeet]

@Animalpak XPG Battlecruiser. Expensive chassis, but shockingly good I'm many respects. XPG undersold its features with their information and product page.

A look at the Antec P120 Crystal case. Have to say it was a fairly simple case to build in and not expensive. Airflow is actually great with 3 120mm intakes at the bottom which does a great job of keeping vertical mounted GPU's cool and providing airflow for the AIO fans. It also has a 3 slot vertical GPU design so the GPU is not flush against the glass panel. I have the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm AIO mounted on the side which again is a great AIO and does a stellar job on cooling but be warned that the radiator is much thicker than standard at 38mm thick versus 28 to 30mm for all other AIO's. The PSU is mounted at the top and again that just works out well. Cable management is not great as there is not much room at the back but can be managed with a bit of work. No USB 3 Type C which is a bummer...Other than that I think it looks good....though I have gone RGB crazy....

that is a magnificent desktop you have there my friend, i would have a little less unicorn puke (RGB) but i like it nonetheless .

Thanks pal, yep RGB is like really catching....the madness just takes over!!!

This was my pc for a while with the Pentium G3258 when my deskstop is sold. One of the smallest ATX case around, the Jonsbo RM2. The psu is supposed to be mounted above the cpu but I ghetto twist tie it to the fan intake so I can use my tall scythe Fuma. It is too slow for daily usage so I used my haswell thinkpad with this as a stopgap. Gonna dismantle this PC now got a deskstop repalcement laptop already last week. So last few pics here.

Hi guys,

This is my latest addition of a water cooling loop.

I had fun trying to make the Blue and the Red glow under UV lights. Enjoy : )

 

[phill]

Not seen a multi GPU card rig in a long time.. God I miss seeing those on the forums

Outstanding sir!! What do you use the 4 cards for? @Outback Bronze

 

[RealNeil]

My vastly more subdued dual GPU PC.
i9-9900K, Cooled by a Swiftec 240MM AIO
ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming Mainboard
32GB DDR4-4133MHz. RAM
1TB NVME Gumstick drive, and two Toshiba X300 5TB HDDs in RAID
Two GTX-1080FE GPUs in SLI
Five Cougar Vortex 140mm fans for good airflow
CoolerMaster 1300W Modular PSU
LG BD-ROM/DVD Burner

All of it installed into an old, but brand new and unused Rosewill Rise case. (it was unopened on my shelf for over a year and a half)
This system stays cool and runs fast too.

Compute and I've never done a 4 card setup on the one mobo water cooled : ) They are 4 x Radeon VII. I haven't even plugged in the RGB headers for the cards yet so the "RADEON" logo lights up.

 

[sam_86314]

Here she is. Complete with my GPU cooling experiment.

I was surprised that my old P400S had more space than I thought.

Nice!

That case isn't huge either - looks like a really efficient use of space.

Awesome post, thank you for sharing
Daft question, did you ever try a Firestrike run on those beasts??

Thanks! As you can see, mounting the pump-res on the front radiator can save hella lot of space

Yeah would love to but unfortunately Radeon VII's only allow dual video card setups unless I can find some modified drivers. Do you know anything about it/them?

Also the board (Asus Apex X Z370) once I have installed the memory slot type M.2 it takes away from the PCI-E lanes. I contacted Asus about this and I have to run a sata drive off the sata ports to at least get 8x4x4x4 where as atm I'm getting 8x4x4x2 : (

In hindsight I should have used my X99 with 40 PCI-E lanes then all I had to do was look for some drivers that support 4 x GPU's unless Firestrike can natively run 4 x GPU's on its benchmarks? I think Nvidia 10 series can but not so sure about the Radeons. Pretty sure I have already done a Firestrike and only Two were working..

Cheers matey.

 

[phill]

Well that's a crying shame for the AMD VII's then.. I sadly don't know anything about the modified drivers

Whenever I did a multi GPU setup, I ended up with the X58/X79/X99 type system due to that exact issue with the PCIe lanes. I think it would starve the performance of the setup which is a massive shame when you invest so much money into the GPUs.

I believe they can all run multiple card setups, I know I was running TRI SLI with the GTX 580's I had.. Was great fun Heat not so much as they where all air cooled but... Still I remembered after going to a pair of 7970 GHz models and they where faster with the two... Gutted lol

 

[Ruru]

I need to test the stability... remember, this is a X2 555 BE...

E: Throttled and it was unstable


This may be ok..

A typical view when I've have had few days of beer..

I counted ten open cans, that's way more than a few.

Well, I always said to my ex "I'll buy few beers" and I got 8 cans at least every time.
