If he is using it for video editing and content creation the 950 pro might be a better idea for him and also assuming you are gaming at 1080p a 980ti would be overkill. A note on windows: I have installed windows on 4 different machines a total of about 8 times and most of the time it installs with a full licensed version of windows 10 so I would wait to buy it until after it is installed and then if it prompts you to activate windows, then buy a licence.

I assume you have checked to make sure that the sata-like cable is plugged completely into the mobo. That's what I did and it fixed mine.

I am working on a CAD model of a case that you could put some straps on and use as a backpack. I will be able to manufacture this when I finish and will post pictures when I get there. If you have any ideas for it please let me know. As of right now I am thinking a low-profile rectangle with a door like panel above the mobo and a window above the CPU with holes for a stock cooler or any small heatsink (does anyone know of 80mm water cooling options) I was thinking of hot swappable battery banks underneath the main computer but it might be smarter to put some on the front. Cable management straps on the outside which has long slots for better air flow.

I have an FX 9590 which if you are unfamiliar is very overkill for gaming and pulls 220w under max load at 5.5ghz. The recomended GPU for the oculus is a gtx 970 which has a TDP of 125W if you used a i5 4690 (TDP 84w) both of those together plus a little extra is 350W. Am i missing anything or can we use fewer batteries for less weight, heat and cost. Thanks for the help.

I think this build is great! I saw on another forum someone suggested a T series CPU, could that drop the TDP of the system enough to use a PSU like Luke did in the fallout 4 bomb build? In this build I looked at all of the weights... GPU - 2.55lbs Heatsink - 1lbs MOBO ~ 1.5lbs PSU - 3.09lbs everything else ~ 2lbs TOTAL: about 9.5lbs I don't know about you but that is pretty "feasible" especially with some weight distribution with the batteries. Lastly, I have noticed that I don't really play games for more than 2 hours at a time. Please let me know how long you play for between breaks and any other ideas you have.

My school backpack weighs about 15-20 pounds. I definitely think we could build a computer within that weight limit. Also Kloaked if you think it is such a bad idea there are plenty of other threads that you can check out.

With all of the CES VR talk I was wondering if there was a way to turn my desktop into a semi portable desktop to run a VR headset without tripping over cables. I think that between all of the great people on these forums we could design a great alternative to needing someone to manage cables while you play your game. Some of the Hurdles I have thought of already: Battery life Weight No HDDs cooling durability Please post with any ideas I think this could be a really cool project for a lot of tinkerers and Luke should do another build log for it.

I have installed windows 10 6 or 7 times not needing a license any of them. Sometimes it tells me to activate windows and wont let me do some of the personalisation but worksfor everything else and sometimes treats it like a fully featured, licensed version. I would recommend not buying windows 10 at least to start and putting that 100$ towards getting a 390x which without OC will do high 30's in firestrike extreme (whatever the 1440 benchmark is)

As long as the GPU is installed, the motherboards on board graphics will be disabled. That is why when you have the GPU in you wont get a signal from the mobo. Try leaving the GPU out and going into the bios using on board graphics then set the primary display output (probably under the peripherals tab) to be the on board graphics. Save and turn off the computer. Then install the GPU and try to boot into windows. If it works then the GPU should be detected allowing you to install the drivers.

I have the 9590 and I enjoy having the best of the FX processors and I do like to tinker with watercooling and such but I would recommend the 8350. The 9590 is like the popular rich one that is kinda cool but also a total bitch and the 8350 is the one that everyone likes and is always nice.

My PC will boot, but monitor says "no signal detected"?
EZWalk replied to mandrigald's topic in Displays
I am having the same issue that Mandrigald is but when I plugged in the speaker and turned it on there were no beeps. I actually had this problem before and after trying different pcie slots and none of them working, one of them finally did. WTF? Also I had left my computer on, left for about 2 hours and when i got back my keyboard was still on and my mouse LEDs were on too. Do you have any suggestions. -
A freaking SSD! I got a 500 gb Samsung 850 EVO for his laptop and installed windows and he LOVES it. I explained it as steroids for your computer. Definently a good c

yes i am using the stock fans which are pluged into the mobo thru a splitter and the 240mm rad is mounted vertically with the tubes at the top.

I recently combined my H105 with an Asetek 550LC to have a semi-custom loop and ever since there has been a constant, rapid clicking noise and i think it is coming from the pump. Anything helps. God Bless. Send Help
