  1. Good point hahaha. Perhaps I should add one when I got back and make the cooling loop hardline
  2. Kick-butt rig ready for video editing! Had a great time build it with David. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions. Been using it for about 6 months and absolutely love it. I have since added a 3TB 7200 rpm Hard drive for asset storage.
  3. The SD card is 256gb and I fill it every month. I shoot in h265 which is nearly a 1:4 compression ratio thus, I shoot 1tb uncompressed every month. I really need a 3tb. The link is narrowed down to all 7200 rpm, 64mb cache, and at least 4.5 star reviews. It's more of trying to find the most silent/reliable one. The Hdd is JUST for storage, I move all my footage and film assets (muzzle flashes, explosions, 3d models, ect...) from the Hdd to the ssd to edit it. Therortically all of them do the same thing. Was looking for insight from the community. @hconverse02 @Electronics Wizardy
  4. I edit off of my 1tb Samsung 850 evo and need a 3tb hard drive to hold my footage. I believe I've narrowed it down to 10 hard drives drives and would really appreciate someone more experienced to pick one out and offer a reason why. Link to the 10 drives: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#R=5,4&S=2500000,3200000&t=7200&i=25,22&sort=a7&page=1&X=0,16328 I built my own computer, done some research, and have a moderate amount of understanding on companies and quality. Thought I'd ask the experts though Thanks everyone, have a Merry Christmas!
  5. If your going to use the suction cup mount for the GoPro while kayaking, make sure its tethered to the boat as well... entire family vacation of photos/videos gone in the blink of an eye. Anyone here scuba dive in AZ? haha
  6. Students can typically get Windows 10 for free. I.E. if youre not a student, you probably know one... you know what to do haha
  7. Over exaggeration, yes... but please tell me how 9ghz goes on a crappy Mobo. I never said "explode" or "combust" the balloon is an over simplification for those of you that apparently never took a materials or properties class. Also, wires/capacitors/anything in the loop can swell.
  8. When you force more current through a wire without changing the speed of flow what happens? The force is applied to the walls. The material that is transfering energy is not efficient enough to transfer excessive amount of energy... hence blown fuses or capacitors in nearly every electronic ever made. The comparison to a balloon still stands. MET degree, I read the book and passed the class. But if you don't believe my look up "CPU caps swell," pretty common issue for excessive overclocking.
  9. The sender probably had multiple sales that day and in the midst of confussion or the slip of mind miss packaged them or something similar. I wouldn't get all mad at the sender as mistakes do happen. Don't down vote him unless he is unappologetic for it. Usually they try their best to make customers happy... its their income.
  10. OCing causes the 'lines' (can't remember proper term for wire that run power) to swell and while OCing is possible you're essentially adding more air to a ballon and praying its elastic enough to hold one more pump of air before * BOOM * Dead CPU.
  11. Yeah i forgot about mobos. I use an x99a sli krait. Dont push OC on a crappy $120 or less board. Even then the $120-190 boards can be sketchy.
  12. Yeah, I own one. I haven't opened the look (Waiting for the EVGA 1080 Hydro Copper to relase) but there was another guy on the forums here that has. He had CPU, a GPU, and another 240mm rad in the loop. Linus stated the pump in it is just as powerful as a normal seperate one such a the D5. The pump is loudish on start up but within 10 seconds (Typical for a pump since it has to move half a gallon of stagnant water) it mellows to a low quite ambient hum. Personally I don't even notice it. If it 58dm thats on the inital full load. My only complaint was the leds arent controled from the computer but a button on the fan controller which is in the back of my case, also mine came with all the colors working except orange... my build was orange, white, and gray but I am to lazy to remove it now haha. I think it has a 1 year warranty so maybe when I take it out to install a 1080 or 1080 ti I'll send it back for a replacement.
  13. I don't recommend ever going more than 2 full ghz higher than base speed. My 3.3ghz 5820K is know to reach an OC of 4.5. I personally would never try more that 4.2 even if it was stable. It depends on the CPU, some OC better than others. It depends on your cooler and how efficient it is at cooling the CPU. It depends on 'silicon lottery'.... some lucky people have hit 5ghz on the 5820k. But as others have stated, if your not bottlenecking the GPU, you dont need to OC. I video edit which is CPU driven, not always GPU so it makes sense for me. But that is entirely determined by what software you use. Most games dont require a high demand from CPU's when compared to GPUs thats why $300 CPU's are often paired with $800 GPU's.
