Cable for what?

I can't tell what you're plugging into.

Nice. I'd probably go with white cords too. They stand out. Should've resized in paint though, scrolled down and the whole screen was just your fingernail. (I'm on a work PC so this screen is fucking tiny, old ass, early 2000's type of screen.) I'm actually upset about the screen yo.

Anyways, dope. Any other changes to your build?

Man I want a water tower with strobe lights and a see thru case like I'm actually going to use it lol.

I need a new comp. my current one has diabetes

[Razah]

Water cooled PCs are dope, they're just too much maintenance for my lazy ass.

What's wrong with your computer?

Sold my 480 to miners and got a 980ti as a placeholder until vega comes up

But yeah uploaded via mobile so don't resize

Water cooled custom loop is my next project

Nothing really it's just old lol. Like 6 years old.

I thought about updating it but now I think I'm going
Get one built soon as I have the money for it.

Really it's just for games. Games like skyrim and shit like that

I'm off the PC market these days. Back in the day my pops used to rebuild his machine every year or so and I would get his parts. Haven't built one personally since, but used to repair and build them commercially. But the business PC's like optiplex or the Lenovo were always just swap broken for replacement.

Cool rig, tho.

[Zaddy]

You definitely hacked the site but nice cables

You have to heat the ends and pinch them on to the cables to keep them in place, also have been apply new thermal paste to a bunch of stuff lol

Dam that's dope how much did it cost you to put it all together?

[~RustyGunZ~]

Dam that's dope how much did it cost you to put it all together?

The whole system or the cable sleeving?

To cable sleeve I already had a box cutter, lighter, staples, electric tape

Had to buy 5 bucks of paracord
Dollar bag of small zip ties
4 bucks for heat shrink

So about 10 bucks for me. If you had nothing still under 20

But it also took me about 8 to 10 hours to do lol

I would buy the tool to depin the conectors for 6 bucks if I did it again, the stapels got really annoying more than once

[Razah]

Cables to the GPU looking a little sloppy though

:/

I'm actually gonna clean my case out when I get home. I'm going to tryyyy to do some cable management but yeahhh, i dunno abt that. Might post a pic later of the sexyness though

I was so invested in it I had ti finish lol but they were so weird with how they shot out8 pin to 8 pin

I'm leaving then in like that for about a week so they stiffen in place and then lacing them together like I did the 24 pin

Will post an update pic when I do that

Spring was for nust getting a new build together
This was my summer project
The fall Will be custom water cooling loop time B-)

[~RustyGunZ~]

Razah if you look at the last link I posted not the pic but above it it's a higher res pic of the inside, you think routing the gpu cables through the side like the 24 pin through the top empty ssd pass through would look better?

Word I meant the entire set up

I'd think so. Also, seems like the cables are long as hell. Any way to just store them in the bassment by the PSU cover or somewhere in the back of the mobo/case. That little chunk that's tied together is bothering me. Also, how the cables aren't in a straight line.

You just sleeved your regular mustard cables? I've seen those little, I dunno what they're called, pretty much plastic little frames that help keep your cables in a straight line.

Cable combs

Can't find the right set they all have weird combos of sizes for modular units. Talkijg to a guy on Reddit atm that 3d prints them

And yes I sleeved a bunch of non modular mustard and ketchup cables, saved 20 bycks on the psu to deal with them and wanted the project

That'd be my recommend3d budget build atm

That would be as much as I would recommend cheating out and is better than buying a ps4 pro

[uh-oh]

word we got the same graphics card, mines the MSI though, im dumb with all this shit though and was scared i'd buy something that wouldnt fit, but i figured since i had an msi motherboard it should work. but yea the 980 ti 6gb

its ran pretty flawless in everything for me, only time it gets taxed is in total war when i try to do HUGE battles, but i think there is a bug in total war in recognising graphic memory. like it says i have 3800 mb instead of 6000 or whatever and i seen on forums and shit alot of people have that problem as well. i dunno

Havent done anything with it yet, got it as a placeholder sincr I sold my 480. Gonna sell it to my buddy so he can sli with his other and grab a 1080 ti around xmas

It shouldn't have any problems in really any game. Total war is more a cpu centeic game as far as I know

Maybe it's just poorly optimized though

[~RustyGunZ~]

I'm gonna do some overclocking and benchmarking tonight so I'll let you know how much it takes out of the 980 vs the cpu, how long have you had your stuff and how often do you clean things/reapply thermal paste etc?

Word that first one seems reasonable. That second one might not have the capacity I want. I willing to spend if it means I can game on it with out a hitch.

Yeah it's solid, you can always save on the case top of you don't care what it looks like much. I wouldn't personally ever buy the second but it's be like an Xbox one

Also can do an hdd instead of an ssd to save money but ssds2 be noice

Inside the PC, not too happy with the management still. *shrugs. Better than before but, ehh. Whatever, it'll stay like that for a while now. Second pic is with the glass panel on. Third pic is a the desk set up. I'm going to remodel my attic but that'll probably be after summer.

dope. i was wondering why you had a dope pc setup on a dresser lol.

also i don't know how i gamed on an hdd.

nothing better than open world games like fallout basically loading instantly. when fallout 4 dropped i had it on my hdd, because my main ssd i was using solely for windows and shit (just a 125 gb). but i put in a big SSD for my games and music and programs. its ridiculous how much faster shit loads. fallout illustrated it best.

the game would load before the load screen would finish loading lmao

That was my wife's really expensive antique desk and it was wicked uncomfortable but I had a vision for it to give a dope look

Then I ended up hating it lol.

Just waiting on my new desk chair to come Thursday

[uh-oh]

word im due for a new one, mine isn't pretty to look at, at this point. but i learned over the years its better to invest in a good chair than anything lol. when' you fluctuate from 210-250 and sit like a retard its easy to put office chairs through the rigors of time

but i bought this 200 dollar one like 4 years ago AT LEAST and its still going strong. just the "leather" leather is kind of peeling from wear and tear.

but i've broken plenty of chairs along my journey in wasting time at my desk through the years

[Razah]

Do games really load faster on a SSD?

I mean, obviously it loads faster as far as start up time & whatnot but.. aren't games set with that certain 'loading/waiting' time or is that due to the hard drive you have it on??

I might just buy a SSD :)

[uh-oh]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqoKUFGjFR0

Its basically just how quick your computer can load up the files, and. I remember reading how they work and forget now but basically an ssd can bring up files and shit much faster, so in a game like fallout where it has to have every resource available to create the open wotld around you, its just way faster at doing it

With an hdd i would get loading screens running through the world lol. Like the game would pause for a second and keep loading. The sdd only has loading screens where they are meant to be and they are very brief

Any game with tips and hints on loading screens you dont get enough time to really read anything lol

[Razah]

The video doesn't show up on Netcees, I copied & pasted the link though.

There's so much debate in the comments. They're saying dude rigged the results, other people with the same drive aren't getting the same results. Also they're all mentioning little things that might change results, like.. the SSD being specifically for games, or the SSD having Windows/Programs/Games on it..

I still want the SSD prices to drop though. I would need like a terabyte if I do go the SSD route.

[~RustyGunZ~]

It's worth it

[uh-oh]

yea i wouldn't just take the 1 videos word for it though, there are countless side by side comparisons

some games only load a couple seconds quicker, some games load a full minute quicker etc. ssd's are just all around faster at loading files then an hdd

Yikes. That sucks. I didn't even check that stuff out. Usually I buy shit I don't need just because it was a really good deal, Lol.

I just need some cable management shit. Maybe another USB Hub. Those things are clutch.

You prefer a keyboard & mouse?

I mean, it makes sense for first person shooters and whatever kind of game Starcraft/Age of Empires is, but besides that- a controller just makes sense. (Not a Steam controller though, their attempt was decent but not quite there yet)

I dunno, playing Batman Arkham Origins felt weird with the Steam controller. It's "right stick" / mouse pad was hard to get the sensitivity for moving the camera around right. It was dope with the mouse, but steady left clicking for every hit got annoying/weird. It just feels more natural to me with a X Box One controller.

PS: X Box One controller > PS4 controller

New headphones. Mouse mat. Little fake plant. New and better power strip with under desk mounting stuff. Little organizer for my drawing tablet and iPad so they aren't just laying around

What fighting games you got?

Dope @ little fake plant. Def' need that
