  1. After a 3 minute youtube video in IEC plugs and some googling, it seems that some people have similiar ideas too lol IEC320 C14 to C13 Extension Cord C14 with Screw Holes and C13 Short 60cm Lenght. availables https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083CSBSRV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_BY07Fb0G2P2Q4 The wait time is a bit long so I think I’ll stick to the ATX size psu even though it might turn out to be a bit cramped. Hoping for no leaks and good temps! Might even run both 240mm rads in tandem and see how they test despite the limited ventilation.
  2. A US 3 Prong Cable that can chassis mount to a case. Just like in the RVZ01 with two phillips heads screws. and the routed through the case to an alternate spot for where the PSU is really mounted. Now to save cost I am probably just going to use a bigger PSU and use a block off plate and have a little cut out for where the PSU will really be mounted. This ITX build is in a small sleeper HP Case with just one 240mm radiator. I'll take pictures in a bit and probably format and rename this thread. I'm repurposing an old cooler master case for honeycomb grills, 2.5 inch hard drive bay, single slot PCI-E and basically jb welding, sanding, cutting, painting some stuff. It's going to have a semi-modular thermaltake 750w psu, Ryzen 1700,32gb of ram, and A R9 Fury X because that's really all I need for editing and whatever this computer will do. A couple nights ago, I just cut out a few rivets and pieces of metal with some nippers, but today my dremel stuff is coming in. None of the stuff is mounted yet. I'll be using some red XSPC coolant I think, random 16/12mm hard fittings, PETG. Nothing is secured in right now besides the motherboard and I have some fittings and routing to still plan. Build will be: AB350N ITX Mobo https://www.bykski.us/products/bykski-mini-ddc-pump-reservoir-combo-w-armor-silver-b-tank-ddc-mi https://modmymods.com/darkside-dual-lp240-extra-slim-radiator-ds-0377.html or a XSPC EX240 Some Crucial 32gb 16gbx2 kit 3200mhz R9 Fury X (kept stock) Two Corsair ML120's 4 SSDs (570gb altogether) 1tb WD Black HGST 7K4000 (both HDDs are in some USB3.0 dock) Thermaltake PETG tubing Ryzen 7 1700 (kept stock) XSPC EC6 Blood Red (1000ml) hp_pavilion_slimline_series_1578900642_d91d8dffb_progressive.jfif r9furyx.jfif
  3. My bad I mean the cable as a whole. I'm in the USA. I have a different plan for this build now anyways haha.
  4. I mean the cable with the chassis mount. I want the special nice looking one lol. Not something I can just jerry rig (which I will)
  5. Anyone know where I can get that RVZ01 PSU cable or should I just solder and heat shrink some other PSU cable together with another one? I think the latter is much more convenient.
  6. It's just wrapped in the factory plastic bag and is inside the koolance box. I took it out one time to polish it with Meguiar's PlastX, but it don't suppose the polish would've caused any chemical damage as I've used it on many acrylic parts for PC builds and such.
  7. 70-80. Live in California so it gets pretty warm, but the shelf usually remains sorta cold to the touch.
  8. Idk dude it stays on the shelf right there. Haven’t touched it in a while.
  9. So went to check on my res body bc of planning something as it was sitting on my shelf on top of some other stuff for a couple months. Now it seems there is a circle of spider cracks most likely due to just laying down in the box for a while. How fragile lol. Will most likely still use it for my build as I have used another res body full of spider cracks with no worries. Just weird to see this.
  10. For all the guys saying “yOu cAnT oC” there is such a thing as bclk ocing. I think that intel limits this after some mhz. Also, it would be better to keep it at stock for lonvegity sake and try to make it turbo most of the time.
  11. https://www.anandtech.com/show/12625/amd-second-generation-ryzen-7-2700x-2700-ryzen-5-2600x-2600/18 All the games shown on here show better perf with ryzen ever since the meltdown and spectre updates. You're gonna want those updates if you go with either CPU so Ryzen seems like a better option.
  12. Newegg should say on some mobos that it is "Ryzen 2 ready" or some shit. Look around on newegg. Don't buy a x470 board for some ryzen 3 cpu.
  13. I think you could get lower voltage with better VRMs. My old X370 board (6 phase) managed lower voltage at the same oc as my MSI b350 shit (4 phase). What freq are you running at?
  14. Why get one of the meh pro4 boards? The VRMs are anemic especially for the 8 core cpus
  15. Anything from a 2600k or even 2500k and up
  16. Give up clocks? During haswell the 5820k's and 4770/90k's were getting about the same clocks.
  17. I mean the 8150 gets about 800cb OC'd on cinebench whereas in my experience with a 1600 at 4ghz i got 1300 so unless upgrading to a ryzen 7 I don't think it would be worth it. Also, I love the way the 990fx Gigabyte boards look. Used to have a UD5 with a FX 6300 at 4.8ghz.
  18. Update: Fixed this shit. So I knew for awhile before I actually did anything that the cpu block was upside down, but that really caused a lot of problems temp wise. I also fixed the bottom rad fans to intake. I added two more SSDs "the wrong way." The ssd in the back prevents me from screwing the back part of the hdd cage in, but at least have 3 SSDs (other one is on top). I was originally going to keep my drain port the same, but the male to male fitting kept on leaking so I kept the 5 way fitting in there so I could just pop on a drain port when I have to. I like this a lot better than before. Temps for idle are now in the 20 degrees consistently and for games and regular loads 52-63c. Highest temp for cpu was 70c with furmark and prime95 running. Still thinking about that 120mm rad in the back for the looks. Also, I would've bent the petg, but I wanted to hurry up and I didn't have much tubing left so I didn't want to fuck up and be stuck without a computer.
  19. 1. Download VMware Workstation pro 14 2. Install it and get a key online 3. Set it up like a regular computer 4. Install ya games and see if they work
  20. Update: alright so I'm pretty much broke and the temps are alright, but I might trade two of some cpu waterblocks I'm not using for an EK 120 XE (thick ass radiator) which I'll put in the back. I have extra petg so I'm going to try to attempt to do some cool ass bends. I haven't really bent any tubing since last year , but I will try now. Also, I will try to put in two more SSDs since I put one on top of the hard drive cage (idk if anyone's ever done that before since it's not official supported) and I have a couple SSDs lying around. Here's an old pic of my build with a E5-2650 v3 ES, X99 Extreme 3, two rx 480s (one was a stock blower one), and some cheap watercooling stuff. The best and easiest petg I've ever used was nanoxia 12mm tubing and I've tried both bitspower and ek tubing (12mm).
  21. I'm using VMware Workstation Pro 14 with a win 10 vm and fortnite/ ue4 games crash on it, csgo cannot be run, but other games like rocket league and team fortress run flawlessly. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations in order to remedy some of these problems since you work with the vmware stuff? My specs are 16gb ddr4, Ryzen 7 1700, gtx 780 and the vm has 8 threads 4 cores to it, 8gb of ram, and 1 gb of vram.
  22. Update: It seems that on Fortnite I am having video memory problems. I don't have these problems on the host machine and I have tried 1gb and 2gb vram. It seems to be a UE4 problem as others have had this problems as well. So in conclusion, some games suck ass on VMs, but other games are great.
  23. Alright so now in the VMware software I'm getting great FPS in Rocket League and now I'm gonna try out fortnite.
