Maybe he did it just to troll us? The whole bridge is upside-down, lol.
Or it could also be that he just tested some RAM for me in that system and had to pull the top card to remove/install the RAM. ;)


No..really. I get odd pauses and flicker sometimes, so I was trying anything and everything.
I thought NV was supposed to be friendlier with AFR than AMD?

Generally speaking, yeah, it works great. It turns out it's my cards overheating...the clock changes have a visual presence in the system. Cranked fans to 100%, and it works fine now.



What's funny is that it's apps that don't push the cards, and produce crazy FPS that are the issue. Really gotta use v-sync a lot it seems, but I gotta say, v-sync used across three monitors and a solid 60 FPS on each panel is pretty impressive.

Why dish out a fortune on titan when you can get satisfaction for $170 650 ti Boost

true that ... or a 580 @ 100$ is fine too :D (when you are actually lucky to find one ofc...)

Thanks :toast:

Now I've updated my system Specs to :)

For those who want to see more pics of my move/build + more you'll find all the pics I've taken here

I also made a couple of videos of the power-draw of my rig, stock vs "mild" overclock

Sorry for the quality and Norwegian comments

Working on the itx case, I changed the feet to some high quality rubber ones and tidied up some wiring. I have the wiring set up so its all on the outside edges, this allows air to flow straight back from the 120x38mm fan behind the radiator. There is no front fan directly behind the metal front plate, instead there is a radiator followed by the thick fan in a pull configuration. This extra front space allows the fan to pull in air effectively. I have a small fan controller (in front of the videocard) to keep the noise down. The harddrive cage (from a Dell Poweredge) is zip tied in sideways, the stock cages for this case really take up too much space.

Temperatures don't get over 50*C for the i5 2500k and 68*C for the 7850. I abandoned my wood case awhile back and went back to something simple just because these cases are only $30 each. Pretty awesome case for the money, the only plastic component is the front panel and it is SOLID. When I upgrade my main rig in 4 years or so, the components will go into this if my Asrock z77e motherboard lasts that long.

deepcool assasin, nice big cooler
i use it too. but why you dont put your second fan between the tower? or just use triple fans there

Actually, it's a Gamer Storm Assassin (bought it from sneekypeet in his for sale thread). I put both fans on the out sides simply because it was easier.

Is it named "The Tamed Beast" because you managed to tame that beast in the back of your brain that yells "Go higher-end! You don't need it, but go higher!" I'm still working on that one :roll:

true that ... or a 580 @ 100$ is fine too :D (when you are actually lucky to find one ofc...)
Hey man..Ramdom Murderer, I specifically named a mid range pc, tamed beast so that someone would make fun of it..I'm dissapointed, come up with something better

Aw, wasn't supposed to come across like that. It was supposed to be along the lines of "you knew exactly what you needed and not a bit more" kind of thing, like your sig says. Sorry if you took it badly.

Oh man, I am NOT upset, I just wanted to check the creativity of people here, what I meant was that I was looking for someone to make fun of the name INTENTIONALLY,Ohhh I JUST GOT IT...you were not making fun but actually appreciating me.Thanks man..I though some mean people here would make fun of it and I was prepared.. and Griever Blade, I'm in India, and the cost of Rig excluding monitor was 36-37K, so according to rate right now it is 600$-610$, I know that it is most probably much higher that what it would cost you in the US, but here I bought every part with the highest amount of research I could do, based on the prices here not in the US, and If you think I was a fool, I have seen a guy buy 40k rig with just i3-2120 and some sh*t and NO GPU..And one more thing should I post a better and high res picture I'm willing to do it and I would like to if you guys wouldn't call it spam..If you don't believe me on the price point of just see here price of 7870 in US is 200$ so roughly 11.5k and here, it is 16-17k(which is pretty low compared to other ratios of amd), I went with intel cause the ratio is very much respectful here than fx6300 which is cheaper in US but costlier here than by a large margin coming on to the GPU, at that time 660 was 17-18k i.e 300$(I know outrageous) but my card was 12k on top of that 10% rebate so 10,900 which was almost equal to US price (amazing considering it is only 10% weaker) and OMG take a lookie here HD 7950 in US is $239 and here it is 25,000rs i,e$416, amlost double the price , If someone bought it here he would have to be insane, I researched for a period of 4 months to make myself familiar with the current and next gen products,(hawsell is nothing but iGP upgrade and 750 ti has been released in 2014 along with the R thingy by AMD so too late) and as th HDD and processor are a major power saver, CX430V2 is more than enough..well, I was wrong
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3kdcu
Price will hover around $560-570, so not too low(couldn't finD gpu and case :chose alternative GPU)
SO CAN I POST HIGH RES PIC?

Oh man, I am NOT upset, I just wanted to check the creativity of people here, what I meant was that I was looking for someone to make fun of the name INTENTIONALLY,Ohhh I JUST GOT IT...you were not making fun but actually appreciating me.Thanks man..I though some mean people here would make fun of it and I was prepared.
Yeah, there are a few guys like that anywhere you go, but the majority here on TPU are great guys(and girls, we do have the occasional female, lol).
And yes, I was appreciating the fact that you have "tamed that beast in your brain." A lot of guys here, myself included, will piece together a parts list that will suit our needs just fine, then notice we're under budget. Before you know it, you've completely blown the budget, on twice the RAM you need, have three top-end video cards, and find yourself maxing a 1200W PSU, lol.

and Griever Blade, I'm in India, and the cost of Rig excluding monitor was 36-37K, so according to rate right now it is 600$-610$, I know that it is most probably much higher that what it would cost you in the US, but here I bought every part with the highest amount of research I could do, based on the prices here not in the US, and If you think I was a fool, I have seen a guy buy 40k rig with just i3-2120 and some sh*t and NO GPU...
Even here in the US, $600 is pretty good for your rig. With the same amount of cash here in the states, we may have had enough for a bit higher capacity PSU and some faster or larger capacity RAM, no biggie. I think you did a damn good job.
SO CAN I POST HIGH RES PIC?
Yeah, post 'em if you got 'em!

Damn f%¨^** Phoboya fan-splitter cable almost gave me a heart attack here, fans suddenly slowed down and when I turned to check why a lot of smoke came out of the case. :eek: :cry:
Used the kill-switch on my desk to kill all power to the rig and dived into it to investigate.
This is what I found
the culprit




Scorched all the way but the connecting cables where fine. Still investigating how this could happened and so much smoke from that little cable. :twitch:

Good save! That could have gone horribly.
As far as the amount of smoke goes, take it from a guy who has pumped way too much voltage through various electronics bits for fun: the rubber insulators on wires like this put off a TON of smoke.

First thought when I saw the smoke was PSU or the Coolance fan controller had blown as the smoke came out of the PSU-side of the case.
I've had smoke coming out of components before but that has always happened while OC'ing on LN2 with to much voltage.

Price will hover around $560-570, so not too low(couldn't finD gpu and case :chose alternative GPU)
SO CAN I POST HIGH RES PIC?
oh that's a good price i was afraid it would cost way more than my actual main rig :) also i am Swiss and with taxes price are usually higher here too (but not due to mining)
if for fairness i use PC part picker to calculate the price: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3kgY1
1059$ is totally inaccurate ahah since the gpu cost me 100$, i didn't find the right HDD but i paid 10$ for it so it doesn't matter, if i remember correctly i paid 568$ total (include case/psu/HDD/additional fans) most of the parts i use are new except for some pieces (GPU/case/HDD/fans) iirc your rig should perform kinda same as mine (i3 and athlon X4 trade blows ... oh well i3 IPC is better and in single core the i3 is faster but cost nearly the double of the Athlon) if we except the gpu who is kinda weaker. (not making fun of this :roll: )

also i like sarcasm but i hate making fun of people who are right about not needing a high end system to enjoy their PC's

update: i ordered a new server board, at last(Opteron skt 940). It seems that my MSI is faulty and since no warranty (pretty obvious eh?) why not take one at 40$: Arima HDAMA-I i wrote of some post before shipping confirmed. will post pics once i receive it (also got a Core 2 Duo E6700 real cheap for the DC7700P)

I just received my new CM V 1000 PSU from NewEgg, knew it was coming today, and couldn't see installing it in my cramped Carbide 400R, so this morning I drove across town to see if TigerDirect had a 750D, although their website showed sold out locally. They had 2, so I bought one, and when I got home the V 1000 was on my doorstep! A very long night of disassembly, cleaning, re-assembly, and cable management ensued, with this result -

I'm waiting on some light kits, and it'll be a challenge to hide all the wires/boxes and keep it looking this tidy. I know the PSU is massive overkill for this config, but it and the 750D are the start of an upgrade plan which won't be complete until the Z97 or possibly X99 platform is available, and will eventually have 2 x 780s, a full custom loop, and a 4K monitor. The Cooler Master V 1000 is built on Seasonic's KM3 platform, it's unbelievably stable on all rails and efficiency just barely misses platinum (rated gold). The case should fit everything with room to spare, including a 360 rad up top and a 240 in the bottom.

Top to bottom airflow? Haven't seen that before. Cool rig either way, looks crazy neat.
