"The RenderBox" 64GB 12 Thread Rendering/Gaming Machine- Build Log

[iamdarkyoshi]

Hello guys, I would like to put up a build log of my rendering machine that I will be selling here. Everything has been used before, except for the RAM. I just got it in today, brand new.

 

This machine is up for sale now!

 

I know I built this on a bed. I was grounded to earth and its very humid right now.

Samsung 840 Evo 128GB

Samsung 830 Series 256GB

1TB Western Digital Black

 

 

Motherboard

 

Asrock X79 Extreme9

 

CPU

 

Intel 3930k @3.2GHZ

 

RAM

 

Two Quad Channel 32GB kits from Patriot

Putting it all together...

 

 

So what do you guys think? Did I do good for all used parts? This was essentially a rebuild of someone else's PC. Tomorrow I will install an OS and do some benchmarks. I know that the GPU is certainly lacking, but I will sell these ( have two), and I need something in it for video outputs...

Three points:

 

1. You built it on a bed. It's not like it's going to die now because of it, but you're adding a variable that you shouldn't if you have the ability not to.

2. PSU's not the best out there, I question it's quality but I could be wrong.

3. The cooler is mounted "wrong". The quotes are there because it can and will mount properly like that, but the airflow doesn't make complete sense considering you're sucking hotter air off of the GPU and pushing it through the CPU. You might drop temps a little by flipping it.

Those are not are smart idea (I don't really know about the PSU)

1: I know I build it on my bed but its super humid here and I was grounded. If I managed to kill it, well, then I am a dumbass.

2: These PSUs were what had been in these machines for years. I really do not like them either, but I took one apart and they seem on par with corsair's mid range series of supplies.

3: I could mount the rear ran as an intake, but this would not provide negative pressure. There is a 200mm fan on the front and top. I wanted negative pressure so that the GPU might get some air in from the rear.

5960X would of been even better but it still looks good. If you had the budget a better case with LED lights could of turned this build from good to amazing but you need it for rendering not looks. Good job.

All of these parts were bought as a fully assembled PC for a very good price. I might add lighting.
