enthalpy

Update: Made a delid a couple of years ago and redid it last week: 4.8 GHz on all Cores, AVX2 -1 and AVX512 -3  and 1.2 V on all cores it stays below 80°C on CB R23 throttle test (29k points multicore). But swapped the PCs and RAM around. Currently using the Intel as a workstation and streaming PC (7980XE with 1080ti and 32GB RAM 3200 MHz CL16) and an AMD rig (5800X3D with 6900XT and 64GB 3200MHz CL14) for gaming.
 
So the 23 Noctua System is still alive, but has not made it to hard tubing yet 😄 But I love the black EK tubing!

Not a Buildlog in the usual way, but I'd like to share I startet to re-gain my interest in PCs around 2009 and tried to improve my skills since then. Not nearly as awesome as the other Logs here, but I like my Rig
 
2009: Bought i7-950, 6GB of DDR3 and two HD4890s in Crossfire with an GA-Ex58-UD5 Board.
 

 
 
2011: Changed the positioning of the GPUs due overheating
 

 

 

 
 
 
2012: New PSU (Old one broke, BeQuiet), New 7970OC and 4x4GB of 1333MHz Ram

But wait... there is more  It was about time!  23 Noctua got an upgrade!

Graduated, got a job  Lost track of time  But now I am back to gaming

My brother-in-law thought my radiators were an air conditioner ^^ 

Edited my post above. Please remove this one !

Yes. Sorry for that. Underestimated the amount of money the new flat and furniture would take out of my project-money-box And before I do a crappy halfhearted job... i wait for the time i got enough cash to spare

Okay, no copper pipes soon but at least the system survived moving to the new flat
 
 
And yea... have to improve the cable management behind the desk

So I finally got the money need to build a new server. This server is going to be my NAS, a PLEX and Web-server hosting a lot of sites.
 
First, an overview of the old server.
It was made of an old HP Compaq sporting a E8400 with 8GB of 800MHz of DDR2 RAM. The storage were two old Seagate 320GB HDD's, that I have no idea how old are and an Intel 530 180GB SSD for the OS. To hold all the movies I used an external Buffalo 1TB USB3.0 drive. Needless to say it is only a matter of time before this machine dies.
Here are some pictures of the old system, with and without the properly mounted SSD(didn't have any velcro)  .




  The new server is rocking a Xeon E3 1231 V3 with 16GB of 1333MHz DDR3 ECC RAM in a Fractal Design Define Mini (I'm sleeping next to it). For storage it has the Intel 530 180GB SSD and 2 3TB WD Green and a 1TB WD Blue. The budget wasn't big enough, so there is no redundancy, only nightly backups.
Heres some pictures of the new server.


 
For OS, the old one was my server, the new one is shared, so the others have some requirements.
The old was running Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS, no gui, I had no use for it. But one of the others wants a gui on the new server, so the new server is running Ubuntu 14.04 with Lxde, mainly because I couldn't get OpenBox working... And it needs a gui that doesn't draw to much power from the system.
All in all I'm happy with the new server
Here is a picture of the new and old server besides each other.

 
The old is being reused as an ARMA 2 DayZ OverPoch server

Mate, these are noctua fans. There is so much rad space they barely even have to spin up past ~600 RPM, this is basically as silent as it gets. The pump is the loudest part of the build.

Yea It is called Bauhaus

Lol, this is so awesome

Hey, have you ever heard of a company called Noctua? They make some really great fans and coolers, maybe even the best around. But they're not that well known, it's a shame really.

Is that a...home depot? in Germoney?

And here we go...

Wohoo They gave me a mini fan for my set of keys, some stickers and a hardsticker =) awesome

Next month I'll move to another house So the System/Loop is going to be changed Looking forward to it!

You know how people say it's a shame they are that typical brown and beige?
 
I actually quite like them.

Man that looks really nice
