Out of curiosity what are your GPU temps? i use to run a 290x and it ran hot in my atx case let alone Mini ITX  my 980ti ACX currently hover around 70c with fairly low ambient temps

strangley enough the temps are fine no different than it was inmy 760t case. This little case has some seriously good airflow. Im even considering making a custom water loop with a 120 and 220 rad but first i want to upgrade the gpu im thorn between the vega 56 ,1070 and 2060..... but for now the 290x is fine.... i do have to fix on fan because the bearing is totally shot.... it rattles like crazy. Just ordered on from ebay.

3600+b450  but maybe you don't need to upgrade.

 

I'm wondering if a card like that can have enough air to be cooled ? (legit question )

Yes i was actually wondering that aswell. But apparently it has. Check out this video of jay.

So i had a couple of cases before this, cm stacker 831, corsair graphite 200r,corsair 760t but I wanted something smaller so bought a itx board and a cheap coolermaster itx case.... that was kind of a regret because that case sucks.... so i bought a red nzxt h200i. What a awesome little case is that. I use the pc for streaming music to a cambridge audio dac and that goes to my tube amp. I also game a little bit mainly dying light and f1 2019. Its a pretty capable little machine and very silent.

I was never a fan of the rgb and i didnt even knew this case had rgb strips. But i kinda like it now.

specs.

intel core i7 6700k 4,5 ghz with the cheapest corsair liquid cooler.

asus z170 pro gaming

8 gb of geil forza 2666 ram ddr4

asus r9 290x (should i upgrade the gpu? I have a 4k tv but game at 1080p)

samsung 500gb ssd.

and should i stay with the i7? Or maybe go rysen?

It is going slow, I ended up needing to spend money on other things this month but it is good, the case I got is actually a server so it came with some neat server hardware I'm planning to do fun stuff with. Once I find a time to start building I'll post pictures and stuff

nice. if you need help you can always ask me:)

Hey! I'm building a dual xeon too! Mine are x5690's though

lol I actually have two of them aswell. but I'm thinking of going socket 2011 now so don't know if Ill use them. how is your build going???

What about submerging it in oil.

 

Tho, now that I think it out loud, that could be pretty expensive too.

Actually i can get miniral oil pretty cheap....mmmh would be awesome tho. Ill think about it.

pretty dope, now is it possible to do a water cooling system in there, cause in all honestly those coolers look like sugar-honey-iced-tea

I'm thinking about watercooling it. but I don't want to spend to much money on this system(since it is aging) .

Jesus, Nehalem Xeons.  Not to shit all over you (which is like a #nohomo header to indicate I'm about to shit all over you), but those aren't even worth the electricity to run.  A Kaby Lake 4 core would probably outperform them and you wouldn't have a mobo with shit compatibility and featureset to deal with.

Yes kaby lake will be faster .... but not much . also got a pair of x5690 3,4 ghz six core(so 24 3,4 ghz threads.... and i got the ram mobo cpu combo for the price of a 6700k..... soni really cant go wrong.... and i dont gave a single F about running costs?

My mistake, I misremembered the video. He found that a single X5650 was within 5-10% of a 5820K in games when paired with the same GPU. I don't see how a pair of LGA1366 Xeons would fall much behind that.

 

I wouldn't do any 1366 build right now because those 1366 motherboards are stupid expensive, but it's a very viable hardware combination right now if you get the right hardware at the right price. Certainly cheaper than what a 6800K setup would run, and by a lot more than the 10% performance delta.

Well i got the mobo ram cpu combo for the price of a single i7 6700k. And i also got a pair of the x5690 six core for €100 so 24 3,4ghz threads. Wich will defenitly be close if not ahead of a 6700k.

Hope you guys like it

I'll probably get an EKWB block for My r9 290. But im stil considering acrylic tubing so ill what for that. And if ill stay with AMD I'm getting the 9590

Should I upgrade my CPU???

I have,

nzxt h440

Xfx ts 550

R9 290

8gb corsair vengeance

Asrock 990fx extreme 4

Kingston 60 gb ssd

1tb hd

And a sickly OC'ed   FX 6300 5 GHz

Ekwb custom loop 360 rad

Oc specs

Bus speed 210

Multiplier 24x

1.5 volt

CPU gets at most 54C

What should I upgrade?? the PC already does anything with ease.  everything I play @ ultra 1080p and most titles around 60fps.

Maybe an new CPU like the 9570 or going towards the blue team, maybe 4790k. Or should I just stick with my sickly OC'd FX 6300.

Anyway here's my current h440 build.

love the videos of linus media group. i was a sub since they had like 40,000 subs and i cant believe how much they have grown over the last year and a half!!! good luck in the future and keep on making those good and honest reviews!!!

bought a expandable water loop for my H440. will upgrade to a gpu waterblock and a 360 radiator in the front.

tell mee if you like it or what i could have done better! thx

Cheers

Its that rubery tubing that comes in the kit. I still have mine un used. I got the ek 360 kit cuz i wanted a decent cheap kit(incase I couldnt do it) for my first watercooling but wanted red tubing to match the motherboard. Since I did it with out any leaks other than the crap plastic res block my next yrs build(if its worth it) im going to go acrylic tubing. Now only if i had the guts to mod my cosmos ii door cuz I dont like the all clear ones.

i am sorry for being rude for a first try is good but at that size is not the best option unless you can expand to a dual slot 280 mm rad

In the future I'll be adding a 360 or a 240 and a new graphics card and will add it to the loop. And the h440 will handle 2 360's and a 120.

Is that neoprene?

It's actually a pretty cheap tubing it's ek zmt matte black 16/10 mm.

Dude why not an aio?Too crowded and is not worth the effort

Because I will be upgrading the loop with mobo block gpu block and an 360 radiator... And I had 2 all in ones and could over clock my CPU above 4.1 ghz now I'm already on 4,7 and still have alot of thermal headroom.....and it looks coolXD

How do You guys think i did on my first water cooling loop????

Does an AMD 8350 with an ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z support ddr4 memory???? if it doesnt wich cpu mobo combo does?

my second build ive ever done

@ my cpu is for now a AMD FX 6300 but i will upgrade to a 8350 in the comming month.

I want to intergrate my AMD 6970 reference gpu in the water loop.

What do i need????? And where can i get the Swiftech KOMODO HD 6900 in the netherlands.

im pretty new to watercooling so i want the forums help.

Thank you

AMD FX 6300 but will upgrade to a 8350

@ropciks112.

Go with the swiftech! You wil have the ability to expand your water-cooling loop with a graphics card water block. And it is very quiet compared to air cooling.

Your rig is gonna be a damn good one!!!
