GTX 960 4GB version. Just upgraded from a G3258 to an i5 so a GPU upgrade too would be sweet (y)

Who wouldnt want one of these for movie/gaming nights with friends? Imagine taking it camping with a converter and throw it onto a rock wall

Black Kova for me aswell. Because it fits my black/orange pc build, and my Steelseries Rival is from the production batch where the rubber crumbles

For the obvious reason of course, the size and portability. LAN machine much?

So it would seem the problem is Windows 10. the OC BIOS for non-z boards are not yet compatible with windows 10 and so whenever there is an overclock, large or small, it crashes windows 10 when booting

Please stay on topic. My CX430 ran a 4.6GHz G3258 prior to this build so im pretty confident its not the issue. Im using a single channel 8GB stick. Im guessing switching to 2x4GB and run dual channel won´t change much?

Ya enough with the hardware rant I´ve build several machines with these CPUs and MOBOs before an always been able to hit 4.2GHz fairly easy. And this won´t even do a +1 on multiplier. Also i don´t consider this build high-end so i dunno where that CX video fits in.

How does one overclock wrong?

I´ve overclocked on a B85 before. Ive had another G3258 running at 4.6GHz on this CX430 before so i dont think its the issue and as i said i also tried another PSU with same results

Hey I´ve hit a weird issue. I´ve build several budget gaming PCs using a G3258 and overclocked it on diffrent motherboards but this time i hit a bump i can´t explain. When overclocking the g3258 on a new ASUS B85M-G i get crashes as soon as windows is trying to load. At stock it works well and there´s no issue. If i bring the multiplier to 33 it won´t load windows even. The default answer would be something like i forgot to put voltage on manual or auto, or i forgot to update the bios or its simply a bad chip. But throwing the same CPU into my M7 Ranger i can get it to 4.2 @ 1.3 volts, which is still alot but i was doing it very rough just to test, and it was stable. So i know the cpu can overclock to some degree and be stable. Ive tried newest BIOS and the one labeled as the Pentium Anniversary BIOS. I´ve tried hooking another PSU to it to make sure it wasnt a power problem outside of the motherboard. I´ve tried both manual and auto voltage. At idle it runs 24-27C and when i did a rough overclock at 4.2@1.3V it was at 41-44C when stressed. New setup that won´t OC at all: G3258 ASUS B85M-G H100 8GB Fury HyperX 1866MHz (Tried running 1333MHz aswell) Corsair CX430 GTX 760 Kingston 120GB SSD Windows 10 64-Bit Any suggestions or idea as to why it won´t Overclock at all is appreciated

Funny i just did a paint job of some PC parts on my own about the same time. Needless to say i messed some up aswell http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/387743-corsair-230t-orange-budget-overhaul/ Almost same color aswell hehe Cool video though, and when it comes to us liking because we want to see another video, i'd watch you solder 2 ants together and still think it would be great ;D

Hello all. This is my first real thread in here but i'd like to share my experience where im lightly modding a 230T along with some of the hardware inside of it. My budget for doing this was pretty much non-exist and to some extend i actually made a slight profit from it. My rig (prior/after rebuild) Corsair Graphite 230T Orange Corsair CX430M/TX750 Intel G3258 w. stock cooler/w. Corsair H100 in push. Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB 2400MHz Asus GTX 750Ti Strix/Galaxy GTX 760 reference design Kingston 120GB SSD & Seagate 500GB HDD Here's how; For some time i'd like some more performance and to do something speciel with my computer as it looked plain and with the addition of a new graphics-card that wasn't color coordinated i decided to take matters into my own hand. I went online and searched for some cheap used upgrades(CPU cooler, GPU and PSU). Then i also got a spraypaint and a plastic lid for a bedroller. Corsair H100 - 300kr (Yes i only have danish prices. google for convertions) Corsair TX750 sleeved - 300kr Galaxy GTX 760 - 600kr Spraypaint - 50kr Plastic lid - 20kr Spend in total: 1270kr So i went ahead and sold my 750Ti and my CX430M for a combined cost of 1300kr All in all i made a 30kr PROFIT by doing this B) This is when i just had the GTX 760 and decided to change the look of my pc. Stripping everything apart!! The Lab, i can always clean up later right? Was making an outline of a custom backplate that i later messed up, will propably do another sometime soon. Sawing the custom backplate. The plastic would crack if i tried to just cut through it with a sharp knife or so. All shaped and polished Had an idea of trying to make some orange flames on the backplate so i was making my own sketches and did a test on some cardboard. The first coating of matt black color First layer of orange paint to the old black/green GPU shroud! Dinner time! Also pancakes on a budget Later found out a white plasti-cote layer made for a great primer and required less orange paint to cover There really isn't much to do when watching paint dry, is there? After a couple of layers and you can see the fire thing on the backplate but i had some nasty dust and stuff into the paint and had to paint alot more orange than intended and in the end it was too much orange and i didn't like it with the dust in it etc. Just stripped the black electrician tape off the gpu shroud. Didn't have any better tape at hand, budget remember? I didn't want any white light in my all black/fire-color case so i disassembled the H100 and painted some orange on the backside for orange light effect. Decided to paint the mounting brackets aswell! Back at The Lab with all the parts painted. I did all the assembly and disassembly in my own apartment while all the crafting and painting was done in my parent's hobby room. Thought i'd might aswell take a look. Never changed thermal compound on a GPU before. My heart was jumping at first ^^ Personally i think this is a SUPER sexy looking graphics card now! However i wish i were abit better at masking with electrician tape lol Tried mounting the failed custom backplate with double adhesive tape just to get an idea of how it would look like - trust me, you don't want to see! Okay so this is why i got the sleeved PSU cheap! I cut this part off all together and sealed the ends. There were alot of original black sleeved SATA connectors i could use and my SATA connectors weren't to be seen anyway. PSU after painting and cutting wires to fit my build. Started to get some parts in again to see how things fit Okay so i mounted the H100 in the top, using the fans from the front panel. The H100 doesn't fit originally but with a slight angel you can mount 4 screws on the one side of the radiator through the top and the other side i mounted using the double adhesive sided tape again. I was slightly blown away of how sturdy it actually is and it even acts as a anti-vibration pad aswell! and i didn't have to drill any holes or cut anything to size, just a simple fit. AWESOME! Needles to say, im not a big fan of cable-managing! More things comming together now! So my ROG OC-Panel used to stand infront of the PSU but that wasn't very nice so i managed to mount it standing in an angle against the side window and using my double adhesive tape (again, i love this stuff) onto the GPU! Also had to figure out some way of cleaning up the sleeved cables to switch between black and red properly. More progress. Found some small perforadet(perforated? :wacko:) black metal profiles where i could put some zip-ties through and bind the sleeved cables down onto in the color coordination. Finally got the other side on despite some problems with cramming all the cables back there. The 230T is a budget case and there's not much room for cables. Btw the hard-drive bays blocked alot of airflow i thought so i cut off the bottom part so i could still have a single HDD mounted safely. I cut it to size int he same way i cut the transparent plastic. Then i mounted my SSD on top of the HDD, do i have to say how i fixed it there? All done with the side windows back on! might put a larger window in at a later time if not just upgrade it at one point. Glamour-shots Start to finish! Okay so it isn't anything over the top and there's still room for improvement but i managed to improve my system and make it look alot more slick in my own opinion. I guess the thing to take away from this, is that even though you don't have much of a budget, you can still do alot with some creative ideas and passion! Forgot to mention my G3258 went from 72-74C to 46-48C under full load at 4.4 GHz @ 1,325v! Happy owner here! Hope you enjoy'd and don't hate too hard, im new :i

Oh okay so my subscription and donations i've done because of the youtube channel is basically worth one week less to you now. I'm not going to join Vessel for several reasons, mostly lack of options and having to pay after a year and i have to go across platforms to see all channels i subscribe to. Your like the good guys, like Jedis, going over to the dark side now - No longer giving your all and serve youtube subscribers for the greater good of learning and become enlightened - but limitting us due to currency and dividing people based on a financial factor... Cloudy, your future is...

Made a lot of buys based on your opinion and it's never been wrong! Gz man!
