Show Us Your Rig [3]

[Solarstarshines]

I can well imagine the response, something like:

Wir haben nicht die Farbe wechseln Schweinegrippe!

I'm one of the few that likes the colors, although if you have a side window I can see wanting colors that match well the interior scheme.

You can go with coolermaster LED fans i have 4 of them very silent 120 mm too

It was more like:

Was möchten Sie vielleicht violett bis dein Höschen passen

When I stopped laughing I ordered 3 more 120mm's.

:roflmao:

I expect to go with Noctua for now on, brown or otherwise. Well, unless they go pink.

Purple knickers

I ordered the Nocs, will pick them up tomorrow.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

That's great guys. The Noc's have included resistors to reduce their speed, nice feature but I run them wide open with no issues, your case and needs may require otherwise.

Yesterday I got another 2 modules for a total of 8GB of RAM now I have a 16GB setup it's 1333MHz but I adjusted the timings to 8-8-8-24 (really don't know anything about Memory OC'ing) and it's rock-solid stable...

I have an EVGA GTX 560 on its way to Venezuela, i'll be throwing all that into my new Cooler Master CM Storm Enforcer, I additionally bought another CM Megaflow 200mm (Red LED) for the case, i'll post pics of my finally finished build (i know i still "need" the SSD to finish my build... but that'll come down the road)

 

[StalkeR]

Great Punkster ! You'll just need an SSD to "correct" that score.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Punkster,
That's going to be great with the new GPU and all that ram. Pictures of both when you can.

Yeah I know, Boshko I'm thinking about a Crucial M4 64GB SATA III, maybe in February or so.. We'll have to see how's my bank account, i've already spent some really good bucks on this PC, just notice that i don't live in the USA so the parts are almost twice as expensive...

Punkster,

That's what I'm hoping, a GTX 560 fits my budget and it's a pretty good upgrade from the GT440 that i'm already using for 1080p "gaming" and by "gaming" i mean "some games that i like to play" suits just fine

 

[4eyed]

there are some changes in my RIG
here some preview, spec in my signature

Cheers,...

:devil2:

:devil2:

:devil2:

Pretty damn amazing. Btw. what case is that Setan, because from the outside it looks exactly like this: BLUEBERRY only this blueberry is no infinity case. And doesn't have the black inside. Perhaps you modded it? Or this is just a crappy chinese copy of what you've got.

EDIT: Oh, just saw your system specs... Infinity K50 moded.

That's gonna be one solid rig Punkster

Regarding you going for an M4 in the future, go for it, I got a 64gig one and it runs real nice! 7.9 WEI near as dam it 700 in AS SSD benchmark. Boots in no time and the system is so fast I don't have time to think lol.

 

[Mashed1316]

Ok, Forum! Last test this year

So far, the system is stable and i got a little more juice out of the 16GB of RAM i was able to tight the timings up to 8-8-8-24 (CR1) with another s#!†load of numbers that i really can't remember right now... but i got them so tight that if i try to get them any tighter, the PC won't boot... I just tested the system with LinX for 5 runs (and man, that was some hardcore test) well, test passed with honors... 82.4175 GFlops max.

My WEI went up for the RAM (7.6 to 7.7 )

When i was messing into the UEFI BIOS, i realized that with my MB (MSI PH67A-C43) i have an overclocking feature for the CPU (but i really don't know how that works being my CPU a non "K" processor) thing is that i can bump the multiplier up to 32, i set it to 32 (meaning the processor should jump to 3.20GHz) and the BIOS sees it at 3.20GHz after saving the changes and rebooting, but when i go into windows, the processor stays at 2.90GHz (verified in CPU-Z) i still don't know what could be happening there :huh: i'll try to figure it out in a couple of minutes...

Meanwhile i'll leave some screenshots of the test, temps are AMAZING having a 27ºC room temperature, this Tt Frío rules! :shock:

EDIT: well, turns out that the CPU overclock is possible (i got it working and reported in CPU-Z) but it only goes up 100MHz (up to 3.00GHz) i guess it's a limitation for the non-K processors.. and since 100MHz is only a 3.44% OC, I don't know if it's really worth it.. i'll go to bed and check tomorrow your thoughts, Forum good night!

Nice work on the RAM Punkster.


Installed the new Noctua NF P12's on the CPU cooler today.


The Prime95 temps difference between the stock Corsair fans and Noctua fans.
Stock 900-2550 RPMs, average temps:Low 60.75°C Med 47.5°C High 48°C
Noctua 600-1300 RPMs, average temps: Low 54.5°C Med 50.5°C High 48°C

Hyper 212 Plus air cooler at high speed was 56.5°C.


With stock fans the med setting was slightly cooler than the high setting, same results with several tests.
On the low setting the Nocs are much cooler.
High setting are the same.

The biggest and best difference is the noise level, the Nocs are nearly silent at full speed, the stock fans are very loud at high speed, reasonable at low speed.

Punkster,
Excellent performance tweaks and burn in !
Dave76,
Beige is beautiful !

Dave did you buy the NF-P12s or the NF-S12Bs? The specs on the P12s I bought show 900/1100/1300 rpms. The S12s at the Noctua site show 600/900/1200 rpms. Or maybe the speeds have changed on newer models of the P12s.

Anyway, lower speeds/less noise and nearly the same temps even at the higher rpms. Works out well.

 

[Dave76]

linnemeyerhere, yes, they are quiet and cool


Wordsworth, My Nocs are NF P12, the 900/1100/1300 speeds are with voltage regulated adapter cables, there are reviews that say the NF P12's will start spinning at about 600 RPMs, with a controller, and max about 1300.

I'm enjoying the quiet

 

[Wordsworth]

I think that may be correct on the 600 RPMs. I'd forgotten what the specs were and a few days ago looked at the specs again because I could not understand why my 120s (rear exhausts) are running at 900 (according to Aida64) when I set them in the BIOS to the middle setting. Without the adapters then, how I installed, they're more like 600/900/1100. Edit: I should say on this board as it's hard to tell how much juice goes to the fan motor on the middle setting.

The quiet is nice, especially if you use the box as an HTPC.

Quiet is Beautifull

 

[Dave76]

Yes, it is

I'm getting enough spare parts to build another computer soon...

 

[DaveUK]

I've posted mine on her before but I just got my new case the Coolermaster elite 430
Sorry some of the pics are blurry

I've done some cable management since these pics were posted.

 

[PwnFrnzy]

A great case, I would know, hahah. I think I could use more fans myself.
