    Yeah I entered it, but eh...never win anything
  2. Zarocus1337
    Does the Bitspower cover the entire CPU dye? What reservoir is that that you are using? Love the G.Skill RAM!!!

    I will also be getting some new cable extensions from Cablemod in all black for the 8 Pin and 4 Pin EPS, 20+4 Pin Motherboard, as well as the 4x 8 Pin PCI power cables I will need for the 1080ti (That I am leaning towards right now): https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125953 I already have my fans picked out for the case exhaust up top, radiator in the back, and radiator in the front.

    Okay so I've posted before on this forum and I haven't really gotten anywhere when it comes to actual answers that are helpful. So I think I'm going to lay it out in this format. System, Upgrades, and Where I Need HELP!!! I don't want to hear about "fix that sticker" or why does your cable management suck" or so on. I'm working on upgrading my system. Which is as follows: AMD Threadripper 1950X Processor Enermax Liqtech 280mm TR4 All In One Liquid Cooler Gigabyte X399 Aorus Gaming 7 ATX Motherboard G.Skill TridentZ RGB 32GB 2x16GB 3200Mhz RGB RAM EVGA GTX 1060 SSC 6GB ACX 3.0 Graphics Card Gigabyte AC300W Mid Tower Case Thermaltake Toughpower 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular Power Supply 128GB SSD 2.5 Inch SATA 128GB m.2 2280 SSD 2x 2TB HDD Sata Planned upgrades: 2x GTX 1080ti/1180ti Graphics cards (Depending on prices, launches, and yes 2 way SLI!!!) Replace 2.5 inch SSD with 2x m.2 SSD (Samsung 960 Pro 500GB in RAID 0) Replace m.2 2280 128GB SSD with 1TB m.2 2280 SSD Upgrade HDDS to 4TB HDDs, add in third one! Upgrade PSU to Fully Modular 1200 Watt Platinum/Titanium Rated 80 Plus (SLI, HDDs, SSDs, Liquid Cooling, fans, ect needs power!!!) Replace 280mm AIO with liquid loop that HAS quick releases!!! WHERE I NEED HELP!!! As mentioned before I am looking to replace my current AIO with quick releases. I'm leaning towards EKWBs X399 Threadripper block, a 120mm SLIM Radiator in the back in push/pull (2x120mm Fans), and a 240mm SLIM Radiator up front in push/pull (4x120mm fans). I am going to go with the flexible tubing and I am leaning between the 10mm inner/13mm outer diameter or the 12mm inner/16mm outer diameter tubing. I've been wondering if AlphaCool quick releases would be compatible with EKWB and what fittings I would need to go with. Attached are pictures of the system as it currently is!

    Gigabyte AC300W Case! : Link below https://www.gigabyte.com/Chassis/GB-AC300W-rev-10#kf
  6. Zarocus1337
    Yeah I noticed that after taking the pictures
  7. Zarocus1337
    The problem with my 850 is that it only has a single 8 Pin EPS and no secondary/optional 4/8 Pin EPS for the CPU. The 1200 does, also I'd like to have the extra power if needed. I do plan on SLI-ing my machine in the future. Sorry if the pictures are crappy quality.
  8. Zarocus1337
    Also wanted to let you know that I am looking into upgrading my power supply from the 850 watt Thermaltake I have to a 1200 watt Thermaltake and adding in all black cable extensions.
  9. Zarocus1337
    Hey everyone I am looking into performing a few upgrades to my Threadripper 1950X build over the next few months. One of the big upgrades I am looking into is a custom liquid loop. The case I am using is the Gigabyte AC300W mid tower. I will be upgrading the side panels plastic see through to a tempered glass panel, from a EVGA GTX 1060 SSC 6GB ACX 3.0 to a 1080ti/1180ti depending on if we see the 11th gen, 32GB 2x16GB DDR4 TridentZ RGB 3200Mhz to 64GB 4x16GB sticks. Let me know what you think about liquid cooling? I'd like to stick with a 280mm radiator up front so I can do a push pull configuration. Maybe mount the resivour/pump in the bottom?

    @ZeouLs Thank you that makes absolute sense. So basically I'm just adding what they would have in a quad channel....seriously I hate marketing. I'm even going to school for this stuff and it's not being explained like that. Again thank you!
  11. Zarocus1337
    @Sfekke Do you mind if I ask what your channel name is? I'll check it out. For me it's not about the cost of more power. I make enough to run both my current rigs, but my FX-8370 is showing it's age. Especially when I decide to do any kind of editing. Also I want to have a second rig that I could take over to my friends places and either stream with them or host a stream at their place.
  12. Zarocus1337
    Hey I'm sure this has been asked before, but I haven't been able to find an answer simple enough to explain it. I am looking at memory for my X399 Aorus Gaming 7 motherboard to be paired with my Threadripper 1950X. Currently I have 2x16GB G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3200Mhz dimms installed. If I were to add two more dimms would that become quad channel? Or does it stay dual channel? Is it the number of dimms/sticks that makes it single, dual, triple, quad, ect channel or is it the way the RAM chips are made? I've been debating if I should add two more of what I have (which is great) or if I should just bite the bullet and get an "official" quad channel kit right out of Newegg. I still know that I can order two more of the same sticks that I have. I am just curious if I would have any issues, if it would only be dual channel, or if it would become quad channel. Also what performance increases would or should I expect if I were to get it into quad channel?
  13. Zarocus1337
    I hope so too! Now I've got to prep for my next live stream. Test to make sure everything works, yadda yadda yadda
  14. Zarocus1337
    I should've clarified what I use to stream with. I use Stream Labs OBS as the "streaming" software. I have actually never tried to use the Elgato software to stream with. But yeah thank you for your help. You've cleared up a ton of questions in my head.
  15. Zarocus1337
    So if I am to understand correctly the Elgato would still rely on the Graphics Card Video RAM? So in a way @Sfekke's idea of having it in the second machine would be better. Then how about this setup? Widowmaker: Threadripper 1950X Gigabyte X399 Aorus Gaming 7 1080ti/1180ti (Haven't looked at them in awhile) 32GB DDR4 Quad Channel 3200Mhz Ryzen 7 2700X: ^ Gigabyte X470 Gaming 7 WiFi EVGA GTX 1060 SSC 6GB (From Widowmaker) 32GB G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3200MHz DDR4 (From Widowmaker) Elgato HD60 Pro I am assuming that I wouldn't see any frame drops or stutters in game while capturing/streaming through the Ryzen 7 Machine? Which in turn would make all of its "assets" dedicated to *for lack of better phrase* content creation?
