[MERGED] Your Main PC - Pictures, specs and discussion <IMAGE HEAVY>

I'm good at cable managing PC's but unfortunately i don't have any sockets under or near my desk so have to use extensions. I might drape something from the cable management bar to hide the stuff on the ground.

It's an IKEA Ekbacken kitchen worktop. The legs are Alex drawers and I got eight small casters from Amazon so I can move the whole thing a bit easier.

how is the table attached?

I did have the counter top just lying on the drawers. It never moved but when I put the casters on I used two screws on each side from underneath the drawers to secure the top so it would stay put when moving the whole thing.

Anyone watch Jayztwocents video of his new game room? Looks amazing.

Taking the lock-down to do some long overdue upgrades. Only the RTX 2080ti came over from the old machine and some large SSD's. That GPU was expensive but its had a really great lifespan so far and absolutely mashes frames. For the first time in 15 years I am back to AMD, and I went all RGB this time, although prefering the clean black and white theme. I am a bit pissed that although they are all corsair RGB some of the whites are blue and some are very white, end up setting some to a blue tone to match in.

Use my machine for work, some webinars, gaming (VR mostly Valve index) and some light video processing. Seems the best spec at the moment without going totally bonkers. Shifted all my old parts on adverts no problem.

Specs:
Case: Corsair Carbide Spec 06
Fans: LL120 Corsair RGB
CPU: Ryzen 9 3950x
Mobo: Asus X570-pro Prime.
GPU: EVGA RTX 2080ti XC ULtra
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3600 Dual Channel
Main SSD: Corsair Mp600 Gen 4.
Cooler: Corsair h100i Platinum SE RGB
PSU: Corsair rx850 white.
Storage : Various Sata SSD and a scratch disk on a Samsung NVME 950 pro 256gb.

Nice job. That takes me back seeing those HDDs. When I removed all mechanical drives from my main desktop a number of years back I couldn't get over the silence as a result.

How do you find the Fractal R6? Are there any rattles?

I have my server in the R5, and while it's a great case to work in, it's got an annoying issue where the dust filter can rattle if a number of the hard drives spin up. Took a bit of a creative solution to fix.

K.O.Kiki

The Define R6 is probably the most solid & thought-out case I've worked in and owned.
The only thing I regret is wasting money on constant fan changes - I'm sure the standard Fractal fans would've sufficed all things told, I just wanted to go Noctua.

Talking of fans, since posting the above I decided to strap 2x120mm fans to the GPU - same thermal performance, but lower noise.
However the implementation is a bit janky.
So I found a "240" mm fan frame to make it cleaner.
Should be here in a few weeks, more pics then...

On my Define R5, my rear exhaust Fractal fan started to screech a little so ended up switching all out to Noctua, so I would have done that myself regardless.

I cheaped out on the fans myself but wasn't disappointed.

Got this Arctic 5 pack and they are great. Quiet with good airflow and they should last a while.

It's a Fiio K5 Pro Amp/Dac and a set of Drop/HifiMan HE4XX.

I collect headphones and that's the one's getting used this week. :pac:

Your an audiophile. I'm the complete opposite cheap set of headphones and mp3's sound perfectly good to me.

Like most people really. Music is my first passion and i just love to get the best sound i can afford (to my ears anyway). I collect vinyl too so like a good setup to listen to it all.

Sounds (pun intended) like an expensive hobby.

Oh very nice, I wasn't sure what HifiMans they were but had an idea based on that headband alone! :pac:

The K5 looks great, I've been looking at the Schiit Hella/Fulla lately and very tempted to pull the trigger on one or another.

The boards image host is f'''cked for many users right now, please use imgur or other instead until they short their stuff out.

Was wondering why the site is crawling on desktop.

"Clear your cookies" is almost like "have you turned it off and on again" but in this case it actually works for the desktop site but not touch nor images. 15.5s down to 150ms to load the main page.

Reminds me of my first two months at GMIT. At an introductory meeting the woman was praising how fast the internet was and when she went on it at home it was much slower but something happened the first week in college the internet went to shít. Really slow a second or two quicker than boards.ie site currently is but this was with every website. It was a couple of weeks before they fixed the problem. I forget what the issue was. But I was glad when the fixed it a bit like how glad I will be when they fix this site.

That worked anyway.

It still baffles me that in 2020 boards haven’t invested in updating there site. Don’t get me wrong I love boards but when I use this site it feels like I have gone back in time.

Can't imagine the boards community taking well to change. haha

2ndcoming

This is Boards v.2 anyway (that I know of). Back in the 00's it had a light blue/grey theme and a much more Windows 98 look.

I remember thinking they Facebookised it with this scheme, but facebook doesnt look like this anymore.

I lost my account in a big hack in 2010 and couldnt remember my password, hence 2ndcoming.
