A1200

After a reasonably long thread with various parts being changed out, as I did on my home workstation, I am starting a new thread to show the final itteration of this build. It has had 3 different motherboards in it, 2 different CPUs and various other changes so this is the final version of this build - the next work PC will be a scratch build, which hopefully won't be for some time! Like my home workstation, it is totally overkill but will hopefully facilitate some flexibility on the tasks its put to use on in the future.

Hello friends,   I'm starting a new project and it's time to start this year with a dynamic PC mod/build. The project will be dedicated to GT sports cars, the interior will be associated with the engine under the hood of the car, and the exterior, of course, in the bright colors of speeding cars    This is my new "office" machine. Yes, it might sound funny, but I have to please myself too!   Hardware:   Raijintek PanSlim case Asus ROG Strix Z690i Gaming WiFi motherboard Intel i9 12900k Asus ROG Radeon RX 5700XT graphics Patriot Viper DDR5 Elite5 48G 6600Mhz RAM Patriot Viper VP 4100 1Tb m2 Cooler Master SF 850W power supply Cooler Master SF 120M fans EKWB 2x Surface S240mm slim radiators EK-Quantum HDC Titanium fittings EK-Quantum Velocity² DDC 4.2 PWM D-RGB CableMod custom cables for PSU etc...   Photo teaser and let's go.....      

Some updated pictures.

Avoid 4 sticks of DDR5. You won't get XMP.

Just go for a ddr4 4x32, ddr5 4 stick quad rank is complete shit atm not being able to run proper speeds
 
If you want more ram then that youll have to look at hedt like amd epyc, and those have much worse singlecore even if you get one of those es cpus that you can overclock
 
Ram speed is a non issue, just crank the imc volts and run ~4000 in gear 1, it helps if you get a micron 16gbit rev b based kit since those are very light on the imc. Gear 2 youll top out at around 4600-4800, too much imc volt over 4800 from what ive seen. max safe ~1.45v, risk of degradation if you go past that which i definitely would but im a madman that doesnt need the utmost of stability

I royally hate the Reddit structure. It makes no sense to me. Can't find anything of worth on the site. It's basically like the -chans but less entertaining. They can keep it far away from here.
 
Strict time order works best for me. The only minor change that sites like here could use is possibly stricter moderation to keep a thread on topic, and starting another thread is more relevant if the topic drifts.

DDR4? As @A1200 points out, its fine. On DDR5 though? Completely different sauce. Neither platform has a really good grasp at it even at the JEDEC recommended 4800C40 speed. If you really in need of DDR5 and high capacity the best thing you can do right now is to get the new 2x48GB sticks that are starting to roll out.

Avid Fan, long time viewer decided to come out from behind the counter and be public lol.
 
First build.  Old passion for the hobby came back and I am now at my final vision.  Took a year to truly fall into place after buildind my first pc with new hardware and decided to have an office/gameroom!
 
Back end off 2021 just before fall  I decided, "it" was time to bring out my 15 years of tech support after my prebuilt HP died and decided to build myself(being out of the industry for 8 years I wanted a challenge).
 
Photos 1, 2, 3 - The original parts, budget friendly, great discounts decided it was time to buy and build.
 
Started with the H510i, Z590 Aorus PRO AX, 10600K, 16GB DDR4 3200, Nvme 4.0 500GB Main OS Drive 3.0 speeds due to CPU Choice, 1TB HDD(from dead hp system), 3060TI 8GB Asus DUAL GPU, 280 AIO, 750W Gold Modular Power Supply.
 
The build and basic setup.  Budget friendly - Old TV/monitor, mousepad walmart brand.......i know gross - left marks easily.  Basic Amazon Mic, Logitech G305 wireless mouse. Razer hunstman 2.0 tkl keyboard.
 
Photo 4 - Revision 1.1 - Changed Case to a 011 Mini Air - cleaner looking case and better thermals.
 
Photos 5, 6, 7 - Revision 1.2 - New desks, mic arm, Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed mouse.  Ikea RGB head as a Headphone Stand, Seinheisers HDT 4.50 BT.
 
Photos 8, 9, 10 Revision 1.3 - New monitor - Acer nitro XZ2, WQHD, Curved, 1ms, 32 inch, Monster Sound bar with built in RGB - At this time I wanted as little rgb possible but the sound bar was a gift from wifey and dared not to say no.  After playing games more games got a Xbox Wired Controller hidden in plain sight, also after spending mpre time in the office I inverted the desks from photos 5, 6, 7 to create more openeness since to the left I have a small aquarium and to my back also a wall of aquariums.  Quality of life change - hung up first frames to symbolise it was done.......
 
Photo 11 Revision 1.4- Nope not done.....the chair - needed to drop me to the floor every time I moved to the left.  Decided it was time to invest into the office.  Slightly on the heavier side so i found a basic model that gave me weight protection.  I am not surprised by but nor dispapointed in the chair but will truly invest into a better chair down the road.
 
Photos 12, 13 - Revision 1,5 - Built my daughter her first PC - gave her my 10600K and small upgrad to my pc - a 11600K(the NVME 4.0, PCIE 4.0 upgrade for my PC) - let me know if you want specs or more photos of her build as she did help me.
 
Photo 14 - I caved, well not really.  I want little to no RGB.......truly.  But I also wanted to kit the system out with fans - sadly a great discount was in my face with ARGB.  Decided on a cheap support bracket to help with a small sag issue but might just remove the bracket not complete sold yet.....waiting for Verticle risers and brackets to drop in price.

Originally I wanted to go full stealth, but these days, getting anything without RGB is a challenge. After I saw the Red Devil, I kind of liked it, so I adjusted the case RGB strip to match. I'm pretty happy with the result in the end.
 
Parts list:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X GPU: AMD Radeon 7900XTX 24GB - Power Color Red Devil RAM: Kingston Fury Beast 64GB(2x32GB)/6000MTs/36-38-38/DDR5 motherboard: Asus ROG Crosshair X670E GENE storage: Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB (boot) storage: Kingston NV2 2TB (game library 2xRAID-0) cooling: Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black + extra 140x150mm fan thermal paste: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut PSU: Seasonic Prime PX-1300 case: Fractal Design Torrent Compact Black TG Dark + extra 180mm fan UPS: APC BX2200LI-GR Notes:
My choice of OS is Fedora Linux Yes, I'm aware the PSU is overkill, I aimed for clean and consistent power power delivery and never want it to have to work hard. I've had my share of issues with some component compatibility; motherboard, nvme-module, cooler fin-stack, fans, case I've had some mounting pressure issues, shared my experience here

seems pretty good value for money

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and I come from the Netherlands.
I thought it would be a nice idea to kick off with my humble gaming setup.
perhaps it is one of the older setups posted on this forum, but hey we have got to start somewhere right?
 
My humble setup:
Pentium 2 350Mhz 1998
128MB SDR 100Mhz 1998
Diamond Viper V550 16MB AGP 1997
Voodoo 2 12 MB PCI 1997
Creative Soundblaster AWE64 1996
Western Digital 40GB 2000
48X CD-ROM NEC 2001
19" Iiyama Vision Mastee 1451 LS902UT 1999
Trust Soundwave 20W speaker set. 1998
Need to go and retrobright my keyboard, it arrived today.
 
Using for MS-DOS and Win9x Gaming.
 
Yes I have a modern pc too (ryzen 7 7700)
But thats for another story.
 
 

Very smart. Looks amazing from the glass panel side. On the other side, cable management could be a little neater but it makes no difference to the performance or asthetics of what you can actually see when the case is closed - all depends on if it bothers you I guess.

B E A...  Utiful

Love it! Really clean. Actually thought of swapping my Define R6 with a Torrent or Torrent compact 🙂 

cleaned it up a bit and swapped from 011D to a Fractal case. I tried to hide as much cables as possible, have to order cablemod cables to make it nicer. Also painted my 6700xt to match, just have to change the RADEON led to white

After weeks of stressing and fixing and reinstalling and uninstalling windows, my PC build has been fully changed from my first ever computer (excluding HDD but that's just for archive files).
Starting of with an i5-3470, gtx 1050 and 8gb of ram, it had lasted a while but only ran games on low settings on low FPS and an upgrade was long overdue, now upgraded with an i5-7600k and rx 5700 new case, motherboard, psu, ram, etc. i am finally liberated from low fps. Big thanks to the people on here for the help with choosing parts and installing new components 🙂
 i know there is a mess of wires behind, im waiting to get other devices so that i can cable manage everything 🙂
 
although its not the prettiest, i still really like the low profile design and high speeds compared to my old system, 🙂

After some time with my current rig, i decided to build a new PC that is going to be set for both gaming and streaming in 4K.
Last year was for the first time i bought a TV and i went for a TV specifically for gaming,watching content and livestreaming in 4K. I got the LG B1 OLED 65" Gaming TV (2021)
I decided not to go for the new X3D CPU as they were too expensive here and i wanted to spend more on a high-end GPU to handle 4K very well
I also have a super ultrawide monitor, Asus XG49V that i am playing mostly simulator games on. I might get a 1440p ultrawide monitor at some point but not now
 
The old rig:
Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D
PSU: Corsair RM850x
Mobo: Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700X + AMD Prism cooler
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz
GPU: XFX Merc 319 Black 6700 XT
Storage: WD Blue SN570 m.2 PCIe 3.0 1TB + Samsung 860 EVO 1TB + Samsung 870 QVO 4TB
 
The new rig:
Case: Phanteks Eclipse G500A DRGB Mid Tower
PSU: Corsair RM1000x
Mobo: Asus ROG Strix B650E-E Gaming Wifi
CPU: Ryzen 9 7900 (non-X)
AIO: Asus ROG Strix LC II ARGB 360
RAM: Kingston Fury Beast RGB 2x16GB DDR5 5600MHz
GPU: Asus TUF Gaming RTX 4080 + Corsair 600W 12-pin GPU power cable
Storage: Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB+2TB PCIe 4.0
 

 

 

 

I run an independent Auto repair shop in Jacksonville Florida and my office computer was showing it's age! So being a LTT fan, why not build a new one with some flair!
its an I5-11500, needed something decent with integrated graphics, MSI H510i Pro Wifi, with a crucial P3 500 gig m.2, and 16 gigs of Team Group DDR 4.
It's not a gaming rig by any means but its not supposed to be!
the case........ahh the case! It's an intake manifold from a 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL450

This is my current setup tell me what you think.

Please rate my setup with constructive ideas to improve.  Design was to allow for 100% usage of the CPU and GPU for crypto mining as well as small enough to take while traveling for work.
Its a bit heavy at around 33.6 lbs but thermals are great (55C max while mining).  Loud!!
Thermaltake 100 case, Alphacool Monster 120mm rad + generic 120mm rad in back, i7-12700k, AMD 6800XT Sapphire Nitro+ with Alphacool waterblock, D5 Swiftech pump with Alphacool Block, EK CPU waterblock, ASUS Mini ITX Z690 motherboard, 32GB ddr4 Gskill RGB, and 5000RPM 120mm Server Fans for cooling. Custom temp gauge for water temps and PWM fan speed controller.

And another new motherboard is in.  ASRock OC Formula z590.  This thing is awesome.  Tons of tinker tools.  I hated the Gigabyte bios, so this was a good change.  Also, I picked it up for 135US.
Time for new OCing and benches.  Im not expecting much more performance, but I love the board, minus the yellow green heatsinks????

 

Well, hello LTT community!!

I've been itching to get back on a real computer and nerd out like I used to.
FINALLY got around to getting it done. Lemme know what you think / suggest. 

CPU: Ryzen9 5900x 
GPU: Geforce RTX 3070
MOBO: Aorus x570 Elite AX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro - 64GB 3600MHz
PSU: Corsair RM 850x
AIO: Corsair H150i Elite
M.2: WD Black SN850X - 3TB Gen4
 
For my use, the hardware above is kinda overkill even though they're not cutting edge.  
I plan on gaming at 1080p and editing some basic videos in DaVinci Resolve. 
I would also like to dabble into streaming and recording while I play so I downloaded OBS and picked up the following items: 

CAM: Logitech Streamcam
MIC: Razer Seiren V2

I cant wait to finish setting it all up and getting started. 

 

I would think its fairly neutral - there's 3x 140mm? Fans on the front - 3 on the rad and 1 on the rear but you have the resistance of the air though the rad. I would speculate it is a fairly balanced system.

I finally finished this months long project repurposing my old PC case with a custom paint job! I’m hoping to sell this bad boy soon 😁
