    SuperShermanTanker got a reaction from dogwitch in 2022 PC Builds Update   
    Been literal years since I last shared my builds on the LTT forums so here's the upgrades they got for 2022.

    My main PC this year was upgraded to a 5800x3d from a 2700x. I upgraded the PSU and GPU last year. The PSU went from a 760watt Platinum to a 850watt Titanium Seasonic, and the GPU went from a RTX 2080 to a RTX 3080. The case is a NZXT Tempest and I love how much expansion room it has only downside is the gray interior.
    Specs:
    R7 5800x3d
    32gb 3600mhz CL16 RAM
    MSI RTX 3080 Gaming Z
    850watt 80+ Tianium Seasonic PSU
    Asus Crosshair 8 Hero Wifi X570 Motherboard
    Creative Soundblaster XFi Titanium Fatal1ty Sound Card
    NZXT Tempest Case
    512gb 970 Evo Plus for boot
    512gb Inland Professional for games
    5tb 5900rpm Seagate for storage
    3tb 7200rpm Seagate for whatever
    Monitors are a Dell 165hz 1440p 24in and a old Alienware 60hz 1080p I think 20in panel.
    Keyboard is a cheap Corsair unit and the mouse is a Roccat Kone Pure mouse.
    For sound I use a cheap Creative Labs 2.1 speaker set and a basic pair of Hyper X headphones.
    The mic I use is a Samson Meteorite that never wants to work.
     


    The spare PC used to be a old iBuyPower PC that I got at the flea market and I rebuilt it with the old CPU and PSU from my main PC in a new Fractal Meshify C case. The old case was a NZXT Phantom.
    Specs:
    R7 2700x
    16gb 3400mhz CL18 RAM
    Asrock B350 Pro 4 motherboard
    MSI GTX 1060 6gb
    Fractal Meshify C Case
    760watt 80+ Platinum Seasonic PSU
    270gb Crucial MX300 SSD for boot
    1tb 7200rpm Seagate HDD for storage
    Monitor is a 24in 144hz 1080p MSI panel
    Keyboard is a cheap Logitech and the mouse is a old Roccat Kone Pure mouse
    Speakers are just some basic cheap Creative labs speakers
     

     
    HTPC:
    Old HP Compaq 8200 I got for $28 and slapped a GPU plus some more RAM in
    Specs:
    i5 2500
    8gb 1333mhz RAM
    R5 340 2gb GDDR3 GPU
    120GB Inland SSD boot
    1tb Seagate HDD storage
    TV is a random 1080p 32in Samsung Smart TV

    The fact they transition so smoothly between each sponsor spot is kinda scary even if the whole video and script was doing sponsor things.

    SuperShermanTanker got a reaction from Senzelian in Build Updates   
    I can probably get something to move the ITX PC onto but the smaller ATX PC on the white desk the desk has a set of drawers down the area under where the PC sits so it's impossible to center it out. Those 2 setups anyway aren't really setups I do more then play the PC on if I need space I'll either use the main PC desk or move somewhere else.

    that 1070ti in the White Leopard (isnt that background from Apple's MacOS?) has more sag than bitcoin prices. Maybe give it some support/

    SuperShermanTanker got a reaction from PerfectPlasma in 4k HTPC for 4k Netflix and YouTube   
    I don't think the AMD APUs and GPUs are compatible with the DRM that they have for 4k netflix from what I looked up you need either a Nvidia 10xx series GPU with 3+gb of VRAM or a Intel Kabylake or higher chip
  14. Agree
    SuperShermanTanker reacted to Deli in 780 Value   
    Vega and GTX780 are completely different class of GPU. 780 is more like a 1050Ti now, while Vega is like 1080/1080Ti. Will the release of a high end GPU affect the price of an low end GPU??
  15. Agree
    SuperShermanTanker reacted to purplepenguin202 in $1600 Main PC 5-21-17 UPDATED   
    It would appear that the cooler sticks out more than the gpu (towards the side panel) which isn't apparent in the second picture, but it gives the illusion of being closer in the first picture.

    5-21-17 Update
    I got the new fan controller and fans for the front of the case and I took out the mount for the extra HDD cage and I put a 120mm fan I had laying on my shelf in the bottom along with mounting a dust filter on that fan. I also have did some tuning and adjusted the fan curves and cooling on the system. I also moved my 120mm Noctua LTT edition fan from the front of the case to be a second fan on my Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo when I added the 2 new fans in the front which are Corsair ML120 fans. The bottom fan is a slim Thermaltake fan with a blue LED in it I just used it because it was whatever I had spare sitting on my shelf.
     
    I'm currently waiting on a side panel window to arrive and after that comes I may start to add some LEDs for some cool lighting. What do you guys thing I should do for lighting?
     
    If any of you have any tips or comments don't be afraid to say it I'm open to suggestions and tips for future upgrades and stuff for the machine.
     
    Specs and Parts:
    AMD Ryzen R7 1700x
    32gb of 2400mhz DDR4 RAM
    ASUS Prime X370 Pro motherboard
    AMD Radeon RX 480 8gb
    5.5tb of HDD in 4 HDDs
