  1. This is such an awesome giveaway, good luck everyone! My vessel username is AwesomeCat Two favourite videos on LTT vessel (liked and commented on): -https://www.vessel.com/videos/LCoY5zfFf -https://www.vessel.com/videos/JYZEYDYx0
  2. Hi people. I recently started having the screen freeze on my PC. This problem seems to happen randomly (it might happen a few times in a day, or not at all), and basically just the last image on the screen stays there, and the computer becomes completely unresponsive. Even the lighting pattens on my Corsair K95 RGB keyboard freeze in place. This does not seem to be triggered by anything, it could happen on the desktop, or browsing the web or gaming or anything. Temperatures are also not an issue, CPU is around 30 degrees C at all times. The computer requires a hard reset to start up again. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? For reference, the full specs of the PC are as follows: CPU: Intel Core i7 4790 CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: 4x4GB Kingston Low Profile DDR3 (pulled out of an OEM system, so no further specifics) Motherboard: Asus Z97 Sabertooth Mk. 1 GPU: Galaxy GTX 780 Ti (Reference Cooler) Storage (OS): Samsung 840 Pro 128 GB Storage (Programs and Games): Intel 730 Series 240GB Storage (Other): 1TB and 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM PSU: Corsair HX850i Note: All of these components are pretty new, except the RAM, the 2 Seagate HDDs and Samsung 840 Pro.
  3. Gold LEDs are not really a thing as far as I know. Yellow is as close as you are going to get I think. You can get yellow LED fans and strips though. Just look through and choose what you like the look of on your conputer parts website of choice. You could also consider buying black fans and painting them with gold paint?
  4. NUC. NUC rhymes with duck. Duck. Ducks sometimes fly. Fly. Linus is fly. Linus. Linus lives in Canada. Canada contains a 'C'. Car also contains a 'C'. Car. Cars drive on roads. Roads. Roads are black. Do you know what else is black? That's right, Kan... I mean the MSI X99 SLI Plus motherboard. The MSI X99 SLI Plus motherboard supports up to three way SLI with dual slot graphics cards. Three. A triangle has three sides. NUC has three letters. There is no 'E' in NUC. Eye starts with 'e'. There is 1 eye in the illuminati triangle. What is triangle + eye? That's right! Kan... I MEAN THE ILLUMINATI! INTEL NUC IS ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!
  5. Thanks for the positive feedback. If you were wondering about the graphics card LED mod, here is a great video that describes the process: It also goes though how to paint the GPU, although you can choose whether to do this or not. We had originally planned too, but my friend (@iContainNutz) liked the silver of the stock cooler so much we had to keep it. Thank you! When you say a 3-way SLI bridge, do you mean those after market metal ones made by EVGA? That could look good, although it would be a bit long for 2 GPUs.
  6. Sorry for the delay everyone, the friend I was doing this build with went away and took all the photos with him. And as a result I could not even get into his house to take more pics. Without further rambling, here are the photos:
  7. I would love to get a 5820K, mainly to go into a video editing workstation. have 6 cores would chew through my Premiere Pro workload. Also it might see some gaming use...
  8. Thanks for the cool idea! Now you mention it, I have seen them used in builds done by Singularity Computers (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqChlb8y4cQ0jAFaNFPQLqA). They would be helpful with the crappy pin-outs on some power supplies, where the individual cables in the 24 pin are all messed up, and not ordered.
  9. I am using the 1m LED strip. However, now that it is in the case it seems a bit short. It would have been a better idea to go with a 2m strip in retrospect. As for the cables, good idea. When I install the GPUs (they are still coming in the mail) I will redo the cable management, so it should look a bit better. Is that 'plastic thing that stops cables tangling' a zip tie? I would definitely recommend Phanteks cases, if you can get them. The Luxe is well built, and the pictures I took don't really show how awesome it looks. It is also super easy to build in. Thumbs up back for the awesome identical rig
  10. Time for the first update! Due to part availability, all of the supplies for this build had to be ordered in two lots. The first order contained all the core components, while the second order consisted of the CPU cooler and the two graphics cards. Well, the first order has arrived and the system has been assembled as much as possible. This is what arrived today. We put together what we could. This is the build in progress. (Yes, on carpet. Luckily nothing broke) This is what we have achieved so far. (Proper photos to come once the build is fully completed) The stock cooler is obviously going as soon as the NZXT Kraken x61 arrives.
  11. Thank you, I hope you enjoy the result . And yes, I am using PC Case Gear. It seems to have the the best prices and selection (unless you are looking for workstation/ server stuff, in which case I use CPL). Being in Sydney, you would use PCCG too?
  12. Thanks for the idea, although I have already ordered the X61, so it is a bit late It was easiest to order all the parts off one website, and unfortunately they do not stock the H240X
