My PCATM is the one under my avatar. No pictures cause my cam broke but I went from a dualcore 1.8/2M/1066 to a E8400 3.0/6M/1333. For a 20$ I think it worth the upgrade and I can make my system last longer. Still rockin old games like BF2 multiplayer.

Ah, the good old 5150/5160. I see you have the dual floppy drives, any other options on it?
Mine has the dual floppies and upgraded RAM.
Good luck getting that beauty up and running again!

I've shown odd projects but never actually shown what I really use on a day to day basis.

This Precision T3500 started life as a pretty low-end system, very low end actually. Had a 2.4 GHz Dual-Core Xeon W3503, 4 gigs ram, 80 gig HDD and a Quadro NVS 295.

Now it's:
2.8 GHz Xeon X5560
12 GB RAM
Two 500 gig Seagate 7200.11s in RAID 0 off a PERC 6/i (because why not)
Radeon R7-240 1 gig GDDR5
USB 3 Controller, wireless card and a USB card reader.

hello … have you ever consider modding a Case like that one, I have seen several cases like that one here in the office… they have a pretty good space inside, I have noticed that a small custom build can be set there…

I'm actually planning on getting a 6-core for it someday as they're finally getting cheap. $100 for a still-fairly-decent hex core is worth it to get another two or so years from it.

Not too bad of overclocks. I need a better CPU cooler in order to let those volts go up on the 4790k, and my 660 doesn't like to OC at all.

Blur because no camera and my phone is a POS.



The cable mess at the bottom is actually against the back panel, so while it looks like an octopus, it's actually just flush against the back.

a Lucifer in dual fan ... and you need a better CPU cooler? well only a water loop will do if so ... because Lucifer/HR 02macho/and other huge ass heatsink with awesome price for the performance delivered, are not really inferior to any Silver Arrow/NDH15/ and other huge heatsink with a horrible price for the performance delivered.

and by waterloop i don't mean a AIO even a 280 or 360 is nothing compared to a custom loop 240 (well ... maybe Fractal Kelvin serie, CM Nepton, or swiftech ... would do)
my 4690K clock at the same range (with no voltage added too ... just multi and nothing else xD ) actually at 4389 on 1.224v (i lowered the OC to find if it was the culprit on a CTD problem )

PS: i have the same octopus on the back of my AIR 540 ... :D

a Lucifer in dual fan ... and you need a better CPU cooler? well only a water loop will do if so ... because Lucifer/HR 02macho/and other huge ass heatsink with awesome price for the performance delivered, are not really inferior to any Silver Arrow/NDH15/ and other huge heatsink with a horrible price for the performance delivered.

and by waterloop i don't mean a AIO even a 280 or 360 is nothing compared to a custom loop 240 (well ... maybe Fractal Kelvin serie, CM Nepton, or swiftech ... would do)
my 4690K clock at the same range (with no voltage added too ... just multi and nothing else xD ) actually at 4389 on 1.224v (i lowered the OC to find if it was the culprit on a CTD problem )

also i shall use that post as a placeholder for tomorrow delivery (hopefully) ;)

PS: i have the same octopus on the back of my AIR 540 ... :D
Well if I want higher clocks, then I gotta bump the volts up and I'd hit about 37-55c on idle and small loads. Maybe I'll make a thread on getting ocing help when I get home.

Just finished my X99 build. It was a lot of work but I am quite happy with the outcome.

I like the idea of screw caps.

Any chance you can remove the logo labels from the Strix cards or the motherboard? Either to just plain leave them off or to replace them right-side-up.
