acegard got a reaction from Belac F in Electric Violet: I finally stopped settling and built my dream PC
Electric Violet (Imgur Link)
This has been an excellent experience, start to finish. I learned a ton, messed up a bunch, but at the end of the day I have a machine that I am excited to sit down in front of and game on, produce and edit with, and have as a showpiece and something to be proud of.
Here is the PCPartPicker list.
Sure, the 3800X isn't the best processor on the market, but it has been really fun to overclock and I am very pleased with its performance. Without going into too much detail, the AMD platform has a little bit of sentimental value for me being the processor I was given by a friend (an R5 1600) in a bad part of my life and brought me back to PC gaming and into a spectacular hobby and excellent community. I'm happy to finally call this build complete. Thank you all for coming on this journey with me, and I look forward to discussing it with all of you in the comments!

acegard reacted to Fraya in Mars Curiosity m-itx 2019 (2021 update)
In 2019 i built my 3rd m-itx computer, designed and built by myself based on the planet Mars.
the last 2 cases / computers were based on Earth, but this time i wanted something different and went for a custom built Parvum X2.0 m-itx case with different than standard dimensions, i made it approx. one inch more in height so it can take a 2.7 slot GPU
The main components are:
Case - Parvum X2.0 m-itx special dimension case in (black main panels) (brown gloss front panel) (red frosted back panel)
m/board - Asus m-itx Z370 ROG Strix i-gaming motherboard
CPU - Intel i9 9900 with Noctua NH-D9L CPU cooler
GPU - Asus 2070 super RTX duel series
PSU - Silverstone FSX-L SX700 LPT fully modular power supply NOW with Cable Mod custom cables.
memory - 32gb 3200mhz DDR4 GSkill trident Z kit
main drive (C) Team Group T-Force Cardea IOPS 1TB nvme gen3 M.2 SSD drive
games drive (D)Team Group T-Force Cardea 2TB nvme gen4 M.2 SSD drive
LED lighting
front fan - Corsair 140mm PWM Blue LED premium fan
top fans - 2x 140mm super thin fans
rear fans - 2x Noctua 80mm PWM case fans.
Monitor - Asus PB278Q WQHD 2K (1440p) 27" LCD LED monitor (as reviewed by Linus) totally awesome all-rounder monitor at time of purchase.
CableMod custom cables.
overall evaluation:
Small, compact unit with adequate power, performance for most modern games, air cooled is simple & effective, no problem with overheating, quite and looks amazing at night. built to budget, works perfect. all components are new.
thank you for checking this out, its the only one in the world, custom case, my design and build. i can update the build pics later, ones now reflect the finished build.
note: some pictures are taken when i had the old memory kit installed which was a 16GB Team group Vulcan 3200mhz kit.

acegard reacted to For Science! in Noctua AF-F12 120mm noisy when inverted?
It's easy to test, just unscrew the fan from the chassis and turn the PC on, lift the fan off the bottom of the case, if the noise persists then I am wrong, if it improves then, maybe start from 0.5 cm or so, by 1 cm or so it is completely gone usually.
Not the same fan, or the same chassis slot layout, but this video illustrates the point of whine produced from obstruction close to the fan in an intake configuration. You can gauge when the grill gets close to the fan the noise becomes noticeable.

acegard reacted to For Science! in Noctua AF-F12 120mm noisy when inverted?
Its turbulence from the fact that air has to be drawn in from the slots on the chassis. There isn't really a solution for this except for
1. Put some space between the fan and the bottom of the chassis (slightly self-defeating, since you want to be drawing air from the outside, not re-circulating internal air)
2. Cutting out a big hole in the bottom of the chassis.
This isn't due to issues with the bearings and so will not affect the lifetime on the fan.
