Show Us Your Rig [8]

[linnemeyerhere]

Wrend, As others have noted fine taste in components, how do you like the new Noctua fans performance and sound?

great looking rig, Guys.

Hi, guys.

Thought I'd show of my new case, CPU cooler, and fans that I'm using with my system now.

...

Now they are some absolutely beautiful GPU`s Wrend, I`m still saving to get my 2 EVGA GTX 980 SC.

I have to agree.. Gorgeous indeed. Though I might be a bit biased since they're exactly the same visual style as my twin 780Ti's. Which, incidentally, also call a 750D their home.. I must say, you have impeccable taste with regards to your PC components.

LOL - Thanks, guys. Seems like you guys have good taste in PC components as well.

The fans are awesome. I like them a lot. Admittedly though, they are a little noisier than I thought they'd be, being Noctua fans, but I knew they were going to be somewhat noisier than the more usual slower fans that have less airflow and static pressure potential.

I prioritized performance and quality over silence. Don't get me wrong though, at lower RPMs they aren't silent, but not what I'd consider to be a distracting deterrent. I probably wouldn't recommend them to someone that prioritizes silent operation over performance potential as these fans are designed for performance with their specified speed range being from 800 to 3000 rpm, airflow potential at 269.3 m³/h (158.5 cfm), and static pressure potential of an amazing 10.52 mm water.

I do like looking at other peoples builds. Give me ideas. Ideas are good.
Keep the builds coming with pictures.

here is my final rig all complete!!!!
So, this is my final rig. i do not plan on adding anything else except some more games all my specs are down below. So as some of you may or may not know, i turned 18 on November 30th, then on December 4th, i finally enlisted in the military. it has been a long time dream and goal of mine for quite a few years and i finally had the chance to act on it. anyway, im saying this because between the time i finish up my senior year and the time i get shipped out for basic, i will be training a lot, and overall, i just want to enjoy the time i have and get some new experiences. so i wont be on as much as i am currently. i plan to drop in a few times and what not, but i have a few months left, and just want to enjoy them as best as i can. also, i might as well let out a secrete i had for a long time. my actual name is not n00berg00ber, its actually Quadrider10. the account that got banded a while ago... so if i get banded again over that, its been awesome guys! and thank you for everything that all of you have done and your plethora of knowledge! (pls dont ban, ive been good since ) if anyone of you want to play some games, my steam account is "Quadrider10".

Good luck for your basic training. Looks you have achieved your computer the way you like and this is great, its now tidy and neat looking. Enjoy

Upgrades include : new EVGA G2 1300 to replace the tT 750. A second MSI R9 280 3G. And my RMA for my gskill ram (2x4) finally came in.

Before any cable management.




PSU is longer than my case likes. Intake fan at the bottom was an issue so...


I moved it, used two screws and zip ties. Works for now until I can come up with a better plan without upgrading cases I hope...



Back I got a little zip tie happy. I ran out of small zip ties ... And I'll change the colors to all black eventually but it's what I had on hand...



After clipping ends (and some OCD color change as I found a small stash of small black zip ties)...

Very nice, clean and organized. Very Well done, Master Turkey. excellent job.

Thanks. It's a work (build) in progress. Next is upgrade on side fan per lazybears suggestion. And then the top radiator to a bigger 240 RAD which I've been eyeing for a while now.

Nope. Nor Cal. Must be a mistake on how I set up my profile.

Ya I almost went with the 1000platinum, but I wanted some breathing room in case I go with some other stuff in the rig, etc. and I did some minor research on the evga psu's and they seemed to be some of the highest ranked psus. Plus it fit in my price range. and thank you for the welcome. glad to be here!

 

[Layback Bear]

What is that white thing just left of the ram with the screw in it?
You will being doing cable management over about 3 times before you really get it the way you want it. That is just part of building your own system the way you want it.

 

[Master Turkey]

Looks like the UPC of the CPU closed circuit cooler. Cool master somethin or other. I'm replacing that with a larger corsair next. I guess I should remove it.

And ya I'm noticing that. For instance, one of the red sata cables just got a zip tie on the excess cable... To clean it up a bit. I'm sure there will be plenty more minor tweaks.

Master Turkey!

Amazing Rig Man very nice and powerful build! Excellent job!

Hey guys I need help I sold out my Asus GTX 760 DirectCU-II 2GB in November 2014 and I ordered a ASUS GTX 970 Strix on 1st Dec. but problem is it's nowhere to be found here locally anywhere at all. I checked all shops and online stores and none of them have GTX 970 in ASUS only a couple online stores have GIGABYTE GTX 970 Gaming G1 in limited stock and they are asking insane prices like $520 to $560 and one shopkeeper had few MSI GTX 970 Tiger Edition for like $485 (not the Gaming 4G one's).

Now the online store from where I ordered the ASUS Strix first they informed me on 6th January that due to shortage on stocks in their US based office I will have to wait till the end of January but today I got the call from them and what the guy explained me the issue of being out of stock in almost all good brands like ASUS, MSI etc I would have to wait another few weeks and still they are not certain that on what fix date I will get the card in febuary.

So it's almost 2 months now and I'm frustrated now and I never had this problem before so I asked them that if there is any other alternate so he suggested me the Galax GTX 970 and confirmed me that they have cards available in stock from GALAX and I opt out for GALAX GTX 970 EXOC Black Edition as I don't have another option left (except getting a refund which wont help as there aren't any good 970's available anywhere) coz Galaxy is costing me almost $100 less than the GIGABYTE and $45 less than the MSI Tiger one and also they are giving me 2 Years Warranty on the GALAX card where on other brands I only get 1 Year warranty.

So is it any good though I've read it's reviews it's a good card and performance is great but :huh: still idk.... here is the link below:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 EXOC Black Edition

 

[AddRAM]

No EVGA available there ?

They have 3 year warranty.

LOL - Thanks, guys. Seems like you guys have good taste in PC components as well.

I can safely say that many of this forum's regulars do lots of research and comparisons before picking parts, makes a big difference when building any machine..

The fans are awesome. I like them a lot. Admittedly though, they are a little noisier than I thought they'd be, being Noctua fans, but I knew they were going to be somewhat noisier than the more usual slower fans that have less airflow and static pressure potential.

In my personal experience, I've found that the case makes a big difference to a rig's overall noise levels, perhaps even more so than the components it holds.. Obviously that isn't the only important point if you want a whisper quiet setup, but having a good solid case definitely helps contain a lot of the wind and spin related noise generated by high performance fans these days.

Thanks. It's a work (build) in progress.

Story of my life... And, incidentally, the driving force behind 90%[1] of PC upgrades.
