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

Let me know if you're ever thinking about selling it - I'm so mad I missed out on them!

Feck it, went ahead & bought a Noctua NH-C14S & Cooler Master NR200P.

My latest upgrade (Going from a 5950x to a 7950x).

7950x, 64Gb DDR5 6000 ram, X670E Crosshair Extreme and cpu waterblock. Unfortunately with just having bought a new house I'm having a hard time finding time to fit it into my rig.

Finally got around to installing my 5800x3D and 6900xt.

Replaced the 1600 and Vega 56 that have served me very, very well over the past few years.

Some Bench Marks:

Superposition, 1440p High

5800x3D, Vega 56: 5525

5800x3D, 6900xt 17348

The Vega will now continue to serve my house mate along side his 3770k. Should give him another few years of service and is a nice upgrade on his GTX 970.

Benchmarks:

Heaven, 1080p High

3770k, GTX970: 2884

3770k, Vega 56: 4156

If you mean the PSU in the second set of images. That's running a 3770k and a Vega 56. It's an old enough 520 watt PSU alright but it should be fine for the gaming he does.

My own PC in the top images has a 750W Evga PSU in it. I think I should maybe upgrade that, but I'll wait and see how things go for a while first.

Finished this generation's new build:

7950x/4090/64Gb DDR5@6000

• My main aim was to keep all major heat generators exhausting directly out, esp the GPU. The result is a bit of gangly piping but very heat efficient.
• It's also a lot quieter than it probably looks. The front 2x200mm and 1x120 on the back are part of the case and I don't have them hooked into any controls, they're naturally almost silent. The bottom 3xBeQuiet high speeds, CPU and GPU AIOs are all controlled by Fan-Control mixes with quiet profiles under normal use but can ramp to howling storm level if needed (esp the BeQuiets but they also push some serious air at max).By then I'll be well into a gaming session with a headset on so it doesn't really bother me :).

Following on from the I think we have a problem thread, i was asked to post pics of the build.

These are the components :

X570S Tomohawk max wifi

Corsair Vengeance 32 gb (4x8gb) 3200 mhz

Corsair RM750X

Radeon 6700XT

Ryzen 5 5600X

Kraken x63 RGB

Nzxt internal usb hub

Be quiet pure base 500fx black atx argb 4 preinstalled light wings pwm

512gb m.2 ssd x1

1tb samsung ssd

1tb HD

Just noticed it but FYI, switching the AIO to top mount (exhausting up) and having both fans intake would be beneficial to temps & AIO pump life.

Disregard, forgot the 500DX can only support 240mm AIO in the roof.

Wow, that PC looks very very nice!

Nerdgasm is the appropriate word for your setup.

Full part list?

Cheers for the tip I'll check those out

new build to replace my aging 6700k desktop, reused my 1080ti and an old hdd. Only went with the 7600x as I will upgrade it to a 8800x3d next year, Nearly bought a 7900xt but I will wait until I see what the 7800xt does first, nvidia are not getting a look at really due to their useless value this generation.

Vertical mount added.

Finally got the NCase M1 build I've dreamed of.

I bought Thermalright SI-100 which was much easier to install than the Noctua coolers I'd tried previously, and costs less than the NF-A12x25 fan I put on it!

Will have the following SFF components for sale when I'm back from holidays:

• Cooler Master NR200P
• Noctua NH-U12A
• Noctua NH-U9S
• Scythe Mugen 5

PM me for details.

How are you finding the 4070 coming from a 1080ti?

It’s pretty decent to be honest. I used Fan control to create the fan curves. https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/releases

Im actually in the process of selling this case and fans. It’s nice but too big for my desk. Going back to smaller case.

https://www.adverts.ie/31675765

CPU: AMD 5950X

GPU: ROG STRIX 6900XT with AIO

Case: Lian Li O11 XL

RAM: 64GB (32*2) Corsair Vengence

Motherboard: x570e

PSU: 1000W

Fans: Lian Li... loads.

Monitor: AOC 144hz widescreen yoke

Future: Would consider and upgrade to 7900 XTX if I could find one with a built in AIO. Possibly full water cooling set up

There's just something really cool about a high powered PC in a tiny case, love it 🙂

I built a tolerable computer with Apple branding

For fun. Got the original Macintosh Plus off a friend a few months ago, built a practical modern PC inside.

Parts list:

Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI Motherboard.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G Stock Cooler.

16GB G.Skill DDR4 3600MHz Ripjaws V RAM.

Fikwot FN960 512GB M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe SSD.

XPROTO-Mini case w/ 600W SFF PSU.

Eyoyo 8" Mini Monitor 1024x768 IPS HDMI.

Various panel mounts and 90 degree HDMI/USB/Ethernet adaptors.

6mm thick black foam.

2mm thick clear acrylic.

Extra long T15 screws.

Super glue.

Zip ties.

Patience.

I tried to keep as much of the original appearance as possible, so all the original ports are intact and I just added HDMI and Ethernet to the back panel in place of the battery slot, and two USB ports in the floppy drive. The 5600G will let me play low demand games locally and also stream Steam from my main machine to a TV.

The XPROTO case is almost perfectly designed to fit inside and offers unlimited upgrade capacity in the ITX form factor; I could even put in a discrete GPU if I wanted to (though the 8700G would probably be a better choice from a thermals perspective).

My favourite part is the ability to use the original power switch rocker as a momentary switch to boot the motherboard. My least favourite part was accidentally cracking the acrylic after assembly and having to tear it down again to replace.

In terms of tools required, obviously a T15 long screw driver, safe means of removing the original analogue board and CRT. From there, a hack saw, jigsaw, power drill, soldering iron.
