Your PC ATM

That's a really good idea!

I've actually done such for a client. This was about 8 years ago when they brought me their Gateway gaming laptop. The chassis was broken all to hell, but the electronics still worked fine(minus the HDD which we replaced with an SSD) and they didn't want to buy a whole new system. So I had this idea and he brought me some wood that was already stained and varnished, I measured it all out, drilled the holes for the stand-off posts and put it all together. Wired up an extension cable for the LCD which we mounted to a tablet stand and it worked perfectly. As far as I know he still has it. Wish I had taken pictures, I'd post them for you all to see. The end result was really very cool!

That setup will do a respectable amount of light gaming and even emulation. Personally, I would mount all of it to a piece of good looking wood with mounting posts and hang it on the wall or perhaps lean it on a tablet stand. Displayed properly it would look really cool!

I prefer to not have the electronics out in the open. I will probably just make a small wooden box to house the parts

I have a Raspberri pi for retro gaming on it.

what refresh rate/resolution does your PS5 do on that MSI monitor? I know the MSI quantum monitor does take a 4k signal from PS5 and downconverter it to 1440p 120hz, even though PS5 doesn't officially support it. not sure how well it works, but I assume decent.

also nice sound proof foam... a nice touch indeed.

i think you are paying to much for water though. but its all good. lifewatr is overpriced imo. I mean you can Evian for the same price, and Evian has like 800 years worth of mountain filtering + healthy minerals, etc.

It will do 120hz with supported games. I'm hoping MSI releases a firmware/driver to get it to accept a 4k signal from the PS5, but so far it only seems to work with a few of their ultra-widescreen monitors. Lol, yeah I'm not a fan of Lifewater either but it was on sale at Walgreens for like 2 for 2 bucks.

Great to hear from you! You have been a great help to me in thinking this massive project through.
great advice and a great guy - I will do some re tubing next week and I did get a nice 88 pound wall mount that is perfect for this.
I will keep you posted on any improvements I make - gonna take a while for GPU prices to go down to where I can improve that and water cool it. Once again, thank you for the encouragement and best wishes!

What GPU do you have at the moment?

Moved my only HDD to an external case and upgraded my RAM from 4x4GB 2400 @ 2666 to 2x16GB 3200.

Everytime it gets cleaner and cleaner.

Upgraded my second crunching rig from 1070's to a XFX 6700 XT. I haven't owned a AMD GPU since I had my two HD 7970's.

That's a pretty good lookin block you got there. how well is it preforming on your setup?

What GPU do you have at the moment?

I am using a Gigabyte GeForce 1660 Super (triple fan) in my Core P7 (!), in my older computer I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070.

They are both pretty good for my needs, but they are tough to find a water block for.

 

[Atomic77]

Wow those are some pretty fancy computers.

Wow those are some pretty fancy computers.

Just ur daily drivers... with a modern case (which allows a nice cable management) and some leds, there's nothing THAT special.

Hi,
Got another test bench and psu
See if I can get x99 back up if not I may look at a adding a new amd build

 

[Count Shagula]

My 5600x with a 3080 and a pump/rad sitting outside the case on a speaker because they don't fit with the brick size 3080. I have more rads and pumps including external to connect but still have to buy a water block to suit, cant be bothered connecting the rest of the cooling if I have to bleed it and re do tubes again once I get the gpu water block. Haven't found one I like in stock at a decent price. Cable ties stopping the soft tube from kinking lol, classy. Also the machine I'm building for my 11yo son. I've never had a mini itx pc so I thought why not. I can not get over how small that motherboard is, its amazing. Probably going to be my fav pc in the house. He's getting a 3600X with a 1070ti* for the time being* with a 240mm aio and a 120mm aio for the gpu and sadly lots of RGB because he's 11

 

[Gmr_Chick]

I took this (on my tablet's crappy camera) about a week or so ago after playing with the configuration of my new AIO

 

[xtreemchaos]

well i fitted the ROG Maximus my son in law gave me in my processing rig and i think it looks nice. so this rigg has a lot of free parts in it the mobo the 7700k most of the fittings. i told you all i was tight na swings and roundabouts he had a good board and 2700x last year off me so its keeping the Universe in balance.

Not ghetto because nothing is really modded other than the case being upside down. Separate loop for cpu and gpu with ice bins for both. Low humidity means low temps can be reached before condensation forms plus I have multiple fans for airflow past critical areas. Results are very effective.

I lost my first 4 years of pictures and benchmarks to the great imageshack hole in the ‘net. Don’t make the same mistakes!

Hi,
Need system spec's there buddy pumps are huge what are you cooling

3900X, 5700XT on a AS Rock 570 Phan-Gaming. The flow rate on the gpu is 1 gal/min. I haven't checked the cpu but it always is and is easier to keep cool than the video. I can easily bypass the ice and just use the rads and maintain normal above ambient temps.
