setan berdasi,
My humor is dry and matched with acerbic wit makes for often miscommunication as well. What I was trying to say is you have nothing to be concerned for. In fact your pictures quality and the clean layout of your second system speak volumes for your attention to detail. Hope we can all see your primary system one day.
Cheers, the Cheese
Taken with my awesome Nikon. Specs in "My System Specs".
Eblim,
Nice clear pictures of your system. I like how you squeezed in the GTX and the bigger PSU. Good job with the cable management with the stock Gateway case. How are your temps running with the 460 in there?
Temperatures are great actually. I have been running my computer with the side case open because of my system fan spinning at 3,800rpm. It's too loud. I've checked the BIOS and I can't manually adjust the fan speed.
Now that I have a couple other projects out of the way, I'm thinking about rebutchering my PSU, as shown on my original post.
I probably already know this but I just want a second opinion on the power ratings...
The power supply is rated at 450W.
Remember, I'm from NZ and we use 240V out of the wall.
So, the black cables are the grounds (indicated by the red boxes)
What I'm looking at doing is removing all the grounds (6-8 I think) and splicing them into a single higher rated cable. Then splicing it back to the 6-8 at the plug.
Reason for this is instead of having the 26 cables running up the back of the mobo pane, it'll be reduced to 20ish.
In pic3, the power bus is quite fat, and is actually sandwiched between the mobo pane, and the side panel.
Furthermore, doing the same for all the +5v, +12, and all similar rated wires. So I'l probably end up reducing the power bus to around 6-7 cables.
Example:
8-4-8
Thoughts? Ideas?
It probably is simple and straight forward, just a matter of buying the right cable which I'll be doing closer to the end of the week.
MadSupra354,
The rig looks great and I'm sure it's no slouch. That 6950 looks to have just fit and with all that ram I'm sure it fly's through tasks. Now just save up for a SSD to flush out the build.......nice work !
