Your PC ATM - Page 708

TRWOV · Aug 14, 2011, 09:28 PM

wow! I must say, yours are some nice PCs

I've spend several hours looking at your pictures and can't help to feel sorry for my own

Mi PC:

The case is an Octanux GX9001 from a national brand (Acteck). I think that Apex or Apevia had the same case, or a similar one. It was one of the first "tooless" cases that I'd seen.

The case has some cincelled plexiglass on the door and can be lit up. I mostly keep it off. There is a frontal panel that shows some information: time, temps, fan speeds, HDD and optical drive activity.

Inside the nest:

The only modding I've done to the case: add a 120mm fan at the top.

(I really need to get a nibbling tool)

After looking at some of your projects I've got a couple of ideas. I'll try to tidy up the insides a little better, at least put some zip tie base mounts in there.

The wiring can be excused considering that case has only one wire routing hole and that motherboards 20/24 pin plug is in a horrible position..

I like the front panel LEDs.

Is that the TX3? It's pree good for $12. I have it with no fans in my HTPC and it is about 46C lol.

Quick update -

Unfortunately, I'm going to be selling off my H²O cooling gear.

On the bright side I don't think my second H²O cooled PC will be the last H²O loop I put together tho

/edit

Forgot to say I replaced 2 stock Lian Li 120MM fans and another 120MM with some 120MM Yate Loon mediums.

Hopefully I can end up running this 2500K at the same speed I had it on under H²O.

t_ski · Aug 15, 2011, 11:33 AM

Ross, your build is kind of similar to my mini ITX server. I have a Lian Li case, too, but I chose to go with a Silverstone Strider PSU with the optional Short Cabke set. It made a huge difference.

How are the temps on that 570 ?

That is some clean cable management there. Nice log on that system there, thanks for sharing. I was very close to buying the PC-Q08 over this PC-354, it looks great to work with from the shots in your log.

It would be a good idea to get a modular PSU if I want to have better cable management and get rid of my nasty cluster of zip tied cables. I really like that Silverstone you have, I've never seen a modular PSU that had modular plugs for the 24 pin ATX and 8 pin 12v power connectors, that is very convenient.

Doing awesome, I was very surprised to see that my temps on the card in this case are the same as in my HAF 932. I played BC2 for about 2 hours last night and it got up to 58 C at the highest. I do have the 570 fan unlock BIOS so it will ramp up to 100%. I think I have Afterburner set to ramp it up to 100% after 55 C.

That is pretty good, about what my 470's see in my HAF-X.

That's the way to make it look. I love Silverstone for the thought of "shorter cables".. But, I wish my strider Plus, would have a switch.. My only problem with their line of psu's.. But, I do have 2 1000w Strider Plus's.

TRWOV · Aug 16, 2011, 02:10 PM

The net was down yesterday so I decided to start with the cable management:

I'll let you know how it goes.

pantherx12 · Aug 16, 2011, 02:17 PM

If you really want to get into it could cut a few whole in the motherboard back plate.

Few loose cables ( cathodes and side panel fans)

But here;s what a few holes can do for a case with no cable-management ( sunbeam transformer)

NOT my pc ATM.

O_O that thing is amazing

heres mine, just got me sleeved cables from {uZa}DOA these things are purrrrty.

This is the zalman I got a bit ago, glows green, but not too bright. It's hella loud if it's a full 12volts. I have it undervolted to 5V and it's pree good. Keeps my CPU pree cold. Max i've gotten with this is 48C Sorry about the dirt, I got it like this, and spent 2 hours cleaning it fin by fin and that's the best I got it.

I fixed my cable management :3 I like it a bit better like this

A full shot, that 6 pin is for my 5770 I get tomorrow C: I don't want to have to open the case again so I just took it out now

O_O I don't understand how people can get stuff that dirty. I once cleaned a computer from a 15 year-old and it was filled with dust, and weed. I have no idea what he was doing with that computer.

Ohh, you should see the back! It's a huge mess

This case makes it kinda easy, there are just somethings I want to fix, that 6 pin is a bit too long, and I want to fix the 8pin/ 24pin so they are straight. If you have a decent case, it's really easy. And I can't wait till I get it! After that, the only thing I will need to update is my hard drive, it has a 5.2 in the windows rating thing.

If you don't mind noise much or have a good soundproof case the WD Black series are pretty fast with a 64 mb buffer

Although SSD is the only way to go if you want scores above 5.9 in windows rating
