well not totally : actual values are under windows desk, i was talking about max value recorded but i get that max is not accurate since it records the max status of each core separately so at one time or another they reached 100% during game, gpu was mostly 99% max on average i get 45-56% according to MSI's OSD

but since i am on a simple Phenom i lower the graphic settings to get 55-60fps stable well the game isn't ugly on lowest settings

let's go ... all in place started fine just need to re activate win7 (Intel driver wipe and re install of the AMD one)

well i don't feel too much downgraded
View attachment 54356View attachment 54364

and it does 12pts more than the Xeon setup in Valley ... yep ... not downgraded

Crysis 3 in high 60fps max 52avg hum ... satisfied i don't have to lower too much

i noticed a funny thing ... since i have a full AMD setup now i thought why not install Raptr Gaming Evolved App ... and i noticed the reward store ...

ooohhh i just have to do 119'090pts for a free R9 270X ??? weee..wait ... im pretty sure when it will be launched those reward (hardware) will not be available for Swiss people ... damned racism...

Wait what happened to the E3 Xeon?

pfff that's ... just... i thought "if they make me wait 1 month i will be pissed" but 2 month ... damn ... what brand?

Gigabyte, they are out of stock on 7970 and 280 at the RMA place because of the litecoin stupidity.

Just finished a rebuild of my rig, Case is a CoolerMaster Cosmos II.

Pretty happy with it so far, gonna tweak the cables here and there some more in the next few days (want other GPU cables

Building it was damn easy with this case i must say, even the cable management at the back was surprisingly easy :3

Still thinking about with what to upgrade my 2 690's atm, them 790's (if the rumors are true) sound intressting although going maxwell does sounds nice aswell :3

Nice cosmos!

 

[15th Warlock]

Are you going to water cool the ASUS card as well?


Nice set-up
Thanks for sharing

No, I think I'll keep it as is, temps are pretty good out of the box

 

[Norton]

Thanks, it's ok idle around 19-21c and on load does not exceed 53c (gaming load), no ac atm and room temp is around 28-30c

Add a 2nd fan and you should see another 1-2C drop under load

Off topic but you people calling cryptocurrency stupid need to research about it before making ignorant comments.

MSI still has plenty of 7970L BE, should get mine back next week from RMA.

Thanks for all the thanks on my table top system peeps.

the Xeon? oh well ... another unwanted surprise bill forced me to sell the E3 and the DQ77MK but luckily enough i got enough to pay the bill and take the 760K + the FM2A88M Ex4+ with the rest...

as for Cryptocurrency i don't like them either ... not the people but the things in general and nope i doubt Vario call cryptominer stupid but more the idea.
my retailer (all 4 of them ) have insane R9-280/280X pricing ...

still my µATX setup is better than my pc i had when i first posted on techpowerup

X4 810 4gb OCZ platinum 1600 GeForce GT405

yeah the heatsink is dusty ... i cleaned it before getting rid of the rig

 

[broken pixel]

Well i have paid for all 12 GPUs mining, yes that is stupid and sold 6 7950s for profit.

You forget the value of said GPU increases as the popularity of cryptocurrency takes a hold.

The Federal Reserve hates you the cryprocurrency does not.

 

[sneekypeet]

I'm sure there are threads dealing with mining. Please take this conversation there or feel free to carry on in PMs please.

First time I enjoyed looking at an IKEA table ever

Another desktop build, this was my first watercool setup back in 2007 or 2008. I know the thread says ATM, but hey its good HW eye candy.

Interesting HDD caddy...

Interesting HDD caddy...

I used the brakets that came with cases to mount, slide into place for HDD, ROM drives, etc. I still use them on my current rig to hold my 2x SSDs.

 

[Maban]

My girlfriend's PC before I get around to tidying it up. 4930K, X79-Deluxe, dual 780 Classy, 16 GB 2133 Dom's. The fan placement is awesome I think.

 

[broken pixel]

Nice! Does she game? I would hope so with a nice WC rig as shown.

 

[Maban]

Nice! Does she game? I would hope so with a nice WC rig as shown.

Well, it's only ever used for Angry Birds. Just kidding, of course she does. But the only action this rig is getting ATM is games like Starbound, Rift, Rust. Not really demanding games, but sometimes we play some like Borderlands 2 and stuff where it at least gets a little more usage.

Makes me a little jealous. My epeen has shrunk since I only have a 680 and an i3-2120.

 

[Vario]

I hope she doesn't mind that epeen shrink. Does the fan ever hit that red tube next to it?

I removed my lower filtering system and replaced it with a silverstone one. Running prime 95 right now 4.5 ghz and the temps are about 5-10*C lower. Note the size of the fan I am running, 120x38mm and it still was running hot with the dumb filter design from Coolermaster. With that removed it helps a ton. I still want my damn 7970. The reason I said it was dumb was because bitcoin doesn't allow profitable mining with Radeons, due to the current proliferation of ASIC mining, so litecoin could be considered a speculative bubble that emerged due to the ASIC miners. I don't want to argue the point further, I just wish I had my 7970. I have a MS Finance and BS Econ so I follow it a decent amount.

Regardless and not to derail the thread, the fact that the internet retailers like Newegg overstocked reference cards and kept them hidden then pulled them out with an enormous price gouge really is insulting and is making me consider an Nvidia replacement.

It interferes with my ability to enjoy my computer because the prior owner of the card litecoined it to death, then a few months later I have to wait because the RMA for the card is slow due to shortages from all the dead mining cards. Thats just where I am coming from. I agree on a lot of crypto currency ideas but I don't want it interfering with my PC's functionality. I think that Radeon should just make a bitcoin card and that way I can game in peace

I guess its time to tighten up that speaker wire holding my GPU level...
Heres the fan in place again. I ditched the ducting system that they included because it really just reduces airflow. The tiny 92x32mm San Ace pokes through the HD cage.

Theres all the removed filters and replaced with a little silverstone 120mm. Way better flow. Same thing happened when I flipped my power supply. If the Cosmos wasn't so pretty I wouldn't own it, it has horrible layout.

All together now, heres my front door mod with rubber gasketing, 120mmx38mm server fan behind it, I did this mod a few months ago but these two combined basically doubled the air intake.

That little front mod helped a ton. I plan to replace the roof with a 120x3 radiator grill setup for 3 possible fans. I have the rad grill all ready to go from Phobya, but I am waiting till my spinal cord recovers more from surgery. Total disassembly would be a nuisance at the moment. I'll probably have to vacuum the bottom fan once a month or so because its gonna really suck up all the dust off the table top.

The unattractive photos are due to the flash on my Galaxy 2. Its harsh light captures dust that is invisible to my naked eye LOL.

The bottom of the case is now a vacuum. Flip the fan over and maybe it will be a 30 lb hovercraft???

Nah, it's bent just right. I swear I meant that as a reply to the second part when I typed it.

Looks nice! Very clean, no wires to clog airflow.

TJ08-E case is new as is the monitor, i thought it might be a problem going from a 30" 2560x1600 monitor for the last seven years to a 24" 1080p monitor but it's been fine.

mouse seem to be a G500 or 400 keyboard hum ... i was wondering the same question

oh cross read ... wondering about the mouse mat not the mouse itself ... ahahah

 

[khemist]

It's a boogie bug, it's not all that big really.

I have another mat that is slightly bigger than the entire desk so not had a chance to use it yet.

Keyboard is a CM Storm limited edition White Quickfire TK, G400 mouse.
