Why the f*ck not? - a bad ideas only build, by Mussels!

Mussels · Jul 13, 2020

TL;DR: Second hand parts bonanza, forgot i needed a PSU...

Long version: Since i fixed my 2700x with a snapped pin by throwing a SATA cable in the socket, i've had a ryzen 1400 sitting around being sad pals with a GTX 980 in the closet. They needed a home.

Enter facebook, with some guy selling an MSI mobo and 16GB ram for close to half retail and i thought... why the f*ck not?(Au prices mid covid19 are meaningless to all of you, so i wont bother quoting them)

Then i thought... well shit i dont have a CASE either, so i bought one. Piss all in stock, so i settled for some coolermaster monstrosity with dual 200mm ARGB intake fans because... why the f*ck not?
Enter the Cooler Master Mastercase H500

It needs an SSD cause eww mechanical, so lets buy the cheapest nastiest one they have... because... why the f*ck not?

Get it home, assemble it... no PSU, crap i loaned my antec 750 quattro piece of crap to a friend. What else do i have... a tiny OEM ITX system that had an intel Atom you say? Why the f*ck not?

Mussels no (I DID change to a 750ti to save some fire hazard for later)

Haha, i had 24 pin and 4 pin extenders! I can do this... Oh wait i need a 6 pin PCI-E cable, this has no IGP

Mussels that thing has literally two SATA cables and the power plugs are really short, what are you...

Please Mussels, you can hear the fire sirens already... oh wait it booted fine? Why the f*ck not, i guess?

And why the ^%"6 not??

Are you using it like this and setting it on fire with the WCG crunching or are you holding back for a little bit??

I'm gunna play VR with it, so when the PSU catches fire i'll be vomiting everywhere, blind and disoriented
(When the PSU comes back from my friend, i'll put the 980 in and use it as a VR machine until a friend wants to buy it. It's got some nice unicorn spew sales appeal)

I love the fact my phone takes motion photos that can be exported as stabilised GIFs

That is delightfully tasteless and horrible; I'm impressed with your cavalier attitude and success.

phill · Jul 13, 2020

I hope that the PSU doesn't catch fire !! LOL Althought with that amount of RGB, I'm personally.... lol

VR sounds good, not got chance to get in touch with anything gaming wise half the time. VR kit would cost me far too much lol

I have that 'nasty' SSD in my system just the 120GB model since 2018 as a OS drive. :laugh:

'its at 87% health according to WD's own software'

As for the whole idea, yea why the eff not if you can find a use for it.

well done mate, i love it. rbg to boot i love it more.

750ti, too many CSGO flashbacks

Do you have any thermal probes? Because if I were you, I'd have one in every one of those PSU-to-adapter connections.

12V @ 14A = 168W kekw. I'm impressed the damn thing even boots. You know you've gotta run a stress test on it at least once, just to see if it burns or merely shuts off. DO IT FOR SCIENCE. (Also you're in Australia which is like 90% fire so you should be used to it.) Post pics if fire happens plzkthx.

p.s. "bad ideas only" build, isn't that like every one of your builds?

Too soon bro

It's winter in Aus right now so that means it's almost cold enough to leave unopened beers in direct sunlight for over five minutes without boiling and exploding.

Mussels · Jul 13, 2020

Buuuut Mussels, wheres the benchies and the overclocks?

Eh, why the F*ck not...

I know i know, i forgot the 4k benchmarks!
Proof 750ti can even display at 4k (it can!)

Animated proofs!

Somethings are just bullet proof!!

I'm dissapointed you bought the case and the ssd, instead of assembling them from sticks and random bits of usb drives. Dissapointed. :shadedshu:

I COULD have used the rusty ass case in the garage, but i figured the RGB would let it run 4K stable

steen · Jul 13, 2020

So you didn't get around to resolder the 2700x pin? Testament to GM107 efficiency & Liteon OEM PSU robustness. I thought I went ghetto, reusing CM N300 cases full of sickleflow LED fans for the kids "new" 2700x systems. If they saw this, they'd be envious...

I've already had offers to buy this system, even without a real PSU installed... people really do go nuts for the ARGB fans

He could have AT LEAST enlisted @CAPSLOCKSTUCK to have made him one out of quality toothpicks or something.
