  1. That's fair, but yeah, both are installed.
  2. I know you're not wrong haha, but at the same time, I do need sleep some time or another.
  3. I did my best to remove all registry entries. I'll try that however in the morning and get back to you. For now I really need some sleep. Both were automatically installed with the 64 bit installer (No idea why).
  4. This is an odd place to ask for help on this piece of software but I hate other forums. I've tried everything I can find online at the moment, I've been trying to get it to work for the past 3 hours, and it's now 6 am.. FML. So I've always had iTunes to sync with various devices (both family and my own). So, the issue. iTunes won't launch at all. In task manager it appears for a split second, then switches from active to suspended and disappears. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting, going to a previous version, "safe mode" for iTunes, going onto the admin account of windows 10 and trying to run it, installing Java and flash, installing quicktime, uninstalling every bit of apple software on the computer and reinstalling itunes only, and it always ends with the application becoming suspended and quitting. Won't even get a window or an error for the stupid application. Anyone have any bit of help?
  5. Silverrune https://www.vessel.com/videos/JYZEYDYx0 https://www.vessel.com/videos/LCoY5zfFf Was really happy to see you guys finally did a hardline build. When I built my first computer at the beginning of the year I ended up doing hard line acrylic and I absolutely love the thing. While my system is major overkill, I can't say I wouldn't do it again. I might have waited for the 980 HOF cards or something similar as my stock 980's can't overclock worth a damn.
  6. Any recommendation on a fan? 2x980's, and a 5820k.
  7. Wow, didn't think I was going to get a reply tonight. It's definitely excessive airflow. No ticking or grinding. I have some experience with soldering and that would be the route taken.
  8. Anyone here have any experience doing a fan swap on a EVGA 1000 G2 PSU? It is driving me crazy, my system is essentially silent at idle, expect for... my PSU.. I've RMA'd one already because they thought it was a faulty fan (wasn't the case).
  9. Thanks for the tip, however the lighting in my room is extremely odd. Without using the flash for some photos I wasn't able to get much detail. Unfortunately I don't have any other way of lighting than the one on my ceiling.
  10. Hi guys! It's been a long time since I've posted on this forum, and is the first time I am posting anything substantial for that matter. I'm generally one of the people that hang around in the background and just drift around. The build I am showing you today has taken a lot of effort, and it is quite literally my dream PC. The build in question is a Acrylic Watercooled 5820k, dual SLI-980 system in a Enthoo Primo. The build has a red and black color scheme I tried quite hard to drag throughout as much of my desk as I could. This system has been up and running since the start of January however I am just getting the chance to share it with the community now. This was the first time I've ever taken on a project of this magnitude by myself, and in the planning stages I was extremely ambitious with my plans, hence "Project Ambition." It only dawned on me after I ordered everything how hard it was actually going to be to get everything the way I wanted it; but the work was definitely worth it. My main inspiration for this computer was my Grand Father who is in his later years of life and was recently diagnosed with cancer. While my grandfather definitely wasn't the person that got me interested in computers (can thank Linus for that), he was a driving factor in my decision making. I managed to show him my computer fully assembled before I came back home from holidays, and he called it "Big Red." That is the name that is going to stick. He became extremely excited himself when he learned that I was undertaking this task, however I only told him "I am going to build a computer," he never thought I'd take it anywhere close to this far. This has become my baby, as I hope it would for anyone, over the last few weeks. While it isn't perfect, it is an astounding thing none the less. Without further ado, here are some pictures (Some of which are potato, the others are 18MP): http://imgur.com/a/OEnYo There is a lot of information in that imgur link that I will summarize here: After 12 hours of work: I had almost all major components installed, the pump, reservoir, motherboard, graphics, water-blocks, radiators, and SSD; almost all of which would be taken back out in the next 36+ hours of work. I had started to cable manage, and the main components and SSD were plugged in. At this point I didn't think I was going to manage to fit at least one of the hard drive cages back into the case. I was contemplating modding the 5.25" bays with a drill and work to mount it up there. After 24 hours of work: Most of the bending and cutting of my acrylic tubing was completed, however a few pieces definitely needed to be fixed or replaced. Cable management has come a long way since the day before, however that might not be noticeable in the photographs. I managed to hand the HDD cage above my pump, and it is fully secure. After 48 hours of work: A lot of effort has gone into fixing tubing, and wire management at this point. I have had to empty my loop a few times now do to mistakes such as having my top mounted radiator mounted upside down causing the fittings to leek profusely no matter what I did. I am back home at this point and the computer is in it's final resting place. My 2 LED strips are installed. My ROG Swift is also setup and working properly. A decent amount of work later: I swipe my sister's 18mp camera in order to take some beautiful photographs of the machine. The LED strips have moved around, I managed to find an extra two LED strips that are also hiding in the case. My ModMic is installed on my HD8 DJ headphones. I have the O2 Amp I built myself set up. Ducky Shine Keyboard, and EVGA TORQ X10 Carbon mouse to go with the color scheme. And finally, the area is cleaned up and wire management has been taken care of on my desk. Complications: I managed to actually severely scratch the side window of the case many times, without realizing is. The alcohol solution I used to clean the window has left the top part of it in a haze at certain angles. I couldn't figure out how to mount my HDD's at first, that was resolved Learning to bend the Acrylic properly (wasted a meter of tubing at the beginning). If any of you are interested to see the price sheet, and what the total came down to you can see the google doc here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18_SWODJWDjD7d_t-gPmQCSsxtWzQXYidKM_G34Khso4/edit#gid=0 (Doesn't include what I already owned) Now, the purpose for this computer now, is content creator, and experimentation, as well as gaming. I definitely went overkill, but the plan is to not have to upgrade until I graduate from University. I am planning on going into Computer Engineering this coming fall. Overclocking results (something I am not overly fond of with this rig): I haven't actually managed to OC the CPU to something I wanted, I don't need the extra performance anyways, so I am leaving it at stock. The farthest I tried was 4.4GHz at 1.45V and it wasn't stable, not to mentions temps were insane. I managed a stable 4.0 GHz at 1.3V but temps were touching the 80's. GPU's were something that did fairly well actually, They are both running at 1517 MHz core, 1810 Memory. In Firestrike Ultra I have managed a score of 11286 In Firestrike Original I managed a score of 18206 (G3258 + R9 270 gave a score of a little over 3000, on the original Firestrike) I'm aware big walls of text scare people, but if you've made it this far, I hope you've enjoyed what you've read and seen. Thanks for taking the time to give my pride and joy a look. Feel free to make me aware if I formatted something wrong, or just simply comment on the build.
  11. What I've done is dropped the G-Sync monitor to the LG 29UM65-P 21:9 Monitor, and grabbed another 980 with water block. A little over budget, but hoping to score on Cyber Monday.
  12. Still very much a work in progress, and that is on top of my list to change. Don't know what I am going to do to squeeze it in though. It would probably be worth it to go with 2 970's over the 980, but I am trying to find a way to SLI 980s. Will probably end up sacrificing G-Sync.
  13. PCPartPicker: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Silverrune/saved/LtyH99 I know from past experience I will receive a lot of comments saying that a lot of what I am getting is unneeded, and their are cheaper alternatives. I am aware. This build is not meant to be the most money efficient but rather my Dream PC. However, I still have a few lingering questions, especially for the water-cooling community I know exists here. 1. Are all my water-cooling components quality, and will they work together? 2. How would you go about the layout of the tubing in order to make it look it's best? If you have an opinion of the build, or want to try and help with your input, feel free to leave it here.
  14. Build Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18_SWODJWDjD7d_t-gPmQCSsxtWzQXYidKM_G34Khso4/edit#gid=0 What I am looking To Do: I am by no means an expert when it comes to building computers, but I am very ambitious. I am looking to custom build my own computer and custom water-cool it come christmas time. I want to hard tube the runs, and hopefully do everything myself. Where I got lost was picking out components for water-cooling but more specifically the fittings etc. I am fairly set on the main build parts other than these, but may upgrade my CPU up to a 4770k. Yes I know my build is very expensive for a first build, or any build for that matter, but my goal is to create my dream machine right now. Can anyone offer some help with the water-cooling? I want to use a 5.25" res+pump combo, and have a 360mm rad along the top. I want to start the run going out of the pump, and run right underneath the rad and into it. Then coming out of the rad I want to run a tube down into the GPU and then out of the GPU running up to my CPU water block. Coming out of the water block I want to bring the tube back up and run it along side the first tube into the Res+Pump combo. I am assuming in order to make this work I would have to have quick disconnects on the Res+pump in order to actually fill the system. Might need to go with a 240mm rad because of cable positioning on mobo potentially interfering with the loop. In which case I would turn it around (opposite the photo) but still have similar run pattern. The picture of the runs isn't entirely accurate to what I want, it is just a visual.
  15. I actually found LinusTechTips on my own a few years back now. I originally found them from a build guide I believe it was. I was trying to get involved more with custom PC's (Still haven't built my own yet ) and the build guides and informational videos about products helped extraordinarily. Keep doing what your doing and I'll keep watching. I am not very active in the forums sadly. But I am going to try and take more time to get on here and snoop around because I love the atmosphere.
