Solved Would like to have some opinions

A USB cable from the camera to the computer is easiest but the transfer takes longer and the camera has to be kept on, running down the batteries.

One can get external card readers that plug directly into a USB port. Just pull the card from the camera, plug it into the reader, and plug the reader into a USB port. Some readers connect to the computer via a USB cable. Most of those you can leave connected to the computer and just plug in the card at any time.

Then there are the internal card readers. They can be added to a computer although some, especially laptops, already have them built in. I like those because I don't have to keep track of an external card reader or eat up desk space with a cable connected one. This is mine:

Most card readers, internal and external, connect to the computer by a USB connection. USB 3.0 readers are becoming more available and are needed to realize the full speed potential of the faster cards, such as the Class 10 SDs. My internal reader connects via PCIe 2.0 x1. It can handle one device (cards, USB sticks, etc.) at full speed although adding a second device doesn't noticeably slow anything down. It probably would be able to handle more at full speed if the connection was PCIe 3.0 x1.

It's a starting place. A little tweak. Prime 95 100% load at 56 C.

 

[essenbe]

Nice start, Jack. Real nice. Just keep playing in the bios and you'll get it real tweaked. That's what we buy these things for, isn't it? Big boy toys. What good is a toy if you can't play with it. LOL.

 

[Layback Bear]

I have been tweaking. It is trying to get use to these new bios.
I'm running this now. Seam to work well so far. Temps are max. 64-64-66-63. I will run it this way for a while. If it works I keep it there for a few days. Then who knows.
This water cooling system works great. Next couple of days I try my thing with the pictures.

Looks great, Jack. Very well done. Congratulations. I'm looking forward to the pictures.

Looks grear, Jack. Very well done. Congratulations. I'm looking forward to the pictures.

+ 1, really looking forward to the pics bud

 

[Layback Bear]

Well I got my pictures from my camera to the computer (My Pictures).
For what ever reason I get get them to download on this site.
Server Error 500.
They are JPG.

 

[essenbe]

Jack, if they are .JPEG the size is too large or there is a server problem. And, I especially want to see them. And you know why.

EDIT: Time to change system specs too. I guess for me too!

 

[Layback Bear]

What is the size limit?

 

[essenbe]

.JPG 1MB Click the paperclip it tells the extension it allows as well as the size, although I have never believed the size.

 

[Layback Bear]

I have all the back panel holes blocked under the rear fan.
All fans are inlets except the 3 fans at the top for the radiator.
I's kind of a wind tunnel with 5 fans blowing in and 3 at the top blowing out threw the radiator.

I think I will get some blue lights. It will take more research to find some good ones.

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

Use a graphics editor to reduce the size of the photos. One trick, if your graphics editor will support it, that will reduce file size without reducing the displayed size too much is to also reduce the DPI count. Display screens don't need high DPI counts. 72-96 DPI looks just as good onscreen as 300 DPI or more.

 

[essenbe]

Nice rig, Jack. You did excellent work. I see you had no space problems with that case. Well done.

 

[paulpicks21]

Looks awesome mate! Great work

 

[Layback Bear]

I did have problems getting it to boot the first time.
Asus tried to help but it was a no go.
I needed newer bios but Flash Back wouldn't work correctly.
My Intel dealer Glenn from Royal Business seen this before so he came to my house with a older style of a 2011 chip (i7-3770) and it booted. We installed the newer bios (4502) swapped cpu's back to my (i7-4820) and it booted right up. Glenn builds about a thousand computers a year for many government agency's and businesses.
He has seen about everything.
That's is one of the reasons I buy locally from Glen. Service service and more service. His service didn't cost me a red cent. I did spend a lot of money getting all these parts.

Absolutely no space problem. If some one can't do a build with this case, well just give up. Building computers is not your thing.

Please note that the Phanteks emblem in the middle of the case is from the box the case came in. I cut it off the side of the box and installed it.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Jack the rig came out just great. I too have run into the mobo bios issue and who has older chips laying around. Always nice to have resources available. I think ASUS and others are on to something with the USB Bios Flashback feature.

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

What's nice about the ASUS boards is one can use one of multiple ways to update the UEFI (technically, UEFI is not a BIOS, if one wants to be anal about it; UEFI replaces BIOS) on the same MOBO. I can update my MOBO using the EZ Flash by putting a USB stick with the updated UEFI on it into the specified USB port on the rear I/O panel and pressing the EZ Flash button. The only thing the MOBO needs is the PSU fired up; one doesn't even need the RAM or CPU installed. Or one can use the EX Flash Utility in AI Suite to use a USB stick with the updated UEFI on it in any port or let the program download it directly from the internet. It's also possible to backup the existing UEFI using AI Suite. A lot of people have complained about AI Suite but I haven't had a problem with it. I suspect it's because people more familiar with BIOS than I am don't bother to RTFM. I wish, though, I had one of the newer boards that can be set up to use the reset button to directly enter the UEFI without rebooting (and if wishes were horses, we all would be shoveling sh...stables).

 

[madcratebuilder]

That is damn nice! Very clean install. Have you considered a string of RGB led's set to change color based on cpu temp?

 

[essenbe]

Exceptional build, Jack. You did an excellent job. I saw the knife and was wondering if the build was so hard you were considering Hari Cari? It looks like a perfect tool for it. :roflmao:

 

[Layback Bear]

I thank you all for all the nice complements and help.

The knife and the other little goodies in the picture are there to indicate this is my build and not one I found on the internet.

Notice there are no empty slots/holes in the back. I use the packaging that came with the motherboard. I don't want the air just to go any where it want to.
I also removed the filter from the top because it is an exhaust.
I remove the filter from the side panel for the power supply exhaust (Magnetic) and installed it on the rear intake fan. The rear fan blows air on the VRM and Ram.
I made a deflector for the bottom front fan, directing air to the back of the motherboard tray.
I want a positive pressure case and as much exhaust to go through the radiator as I can get. I don't think I will need any more fans. But thinking on a push/pull on the radiator. It could lower the temps another 2 or 3 C.
I still use Arctic Silver 5.

@ madcratebuilder I will investigate those lights. Thanks for the idea.

@ essenbe that Ram you recommended seems to be working just great.
