Hi everybody! Let me introduce myself! Since I really fell in love with PC modding and building in general not too long ago I am kind of step by step signing up in different forums to publish my own experiences with starting out. I've been hooked since 2016 when I first built my very first rig which is indeed the case I used for this case mod and that would be the classic Fractal Design Define S. Not long after that I went all in by making a custom loop configuration with the Thermaltake Core P5, as I was always keen on building a water cooled build just for the aesthetics even way before I even had a PC. After a successful first hardline build I instantly got hooked and so I did more and more research on making a build really stand out from the rest and I found this whole 'modding' community which was honestly the best thing that happened to me. And so it began ,by time I got enough courage to start my first case mod and since the budget was a little tight I thought why not re-use my first beloved case which was meant for watercooling anyways. One of the first few things was getting proper tools, and since I have somewhat a mild OCD I needed a CNC router, so I did my research and bought a Stepcraft 840 (the whole process of building and learning how to use CAD, CAM software took quite some time off the project). So when everything was set I actually started to focus my mind on design, material choice and the overall custom loop layout. The picture below was the very first sketch I made for this build and the foundation for all upcoming implementations and so a lot of trouble was heading my way which I was not prepared for. ? First thing I got to work on was the actual front of the case, since the standard Define S front looks too minimalistic in my opinion. I got initially inspired by Parvum Systems with their well known acrylic chassis. This was the design I ended up with and I was happy till the end, which I created with Fusion 360. I did two layers of this design with a slight offset to create that nice 3D look. My first few tries on the new CNC, getting everything right before actually milling the real parts, just to make sure I hit the right speeds and feeds. This part was just a quick draw for testing. So after dialing in the machine I took the first try on making the front with clear acrylic which was painted black afterwards. Sadly though the results were way off so the piece was unusable after the first try, but I still did a quick n' dirty paint job just to see the result on the yellow satin/frosted acrylic piece which was used as the background for all of the layers, and I was excited to see that it actually came out pretty nice. First success in this build log so far! One of the first few little things I got when starting out with modding was a small vinyl cutter to create my own stickers or decals. The project name was already set so I wanted to add a very small detail on the front panel. After that I successfully painted the first layer from the front panel, a second one was added after so you'll that later because at that point I thought one was enough, but it looked off to me overall, there was just something missing. ? Next up was the PSU shroud, just to make sure I have a possibility to hide all of the unnecessary cable mess and give the rig an overall more stealthy look. Now you'll see that I made some minor and major changes throughout the whole process of building this machine depending on the problems I occurred to. The shroud is the best example, I initially wanted to have a hardline tube run all across the whole PSU shroud, too bad I didn't take the actual PSU into account ? Simple solution: shorten the tube run! Nonetheless the main concept was still being used, and so I began working on the different acrylic parts that would need to be glued together. My first plan was to bend the acrylic but that was just not possible with my custom bending machine. So acrylic weld it was! Below are some pre-steps I made such as measuring the base of the shroud and getting a feel for how it will look in the end. This was the whole preparation phase, next up was the implementation by welding all of the milled out parts together to achieve that nice square look. Prior to that I did some dremel work to the case to make sure the shroud would fit in the end. This was a tight fit after all, also taking the tube run into account, so I could mount the tempered glass side panel afterwards. Here I let the weld dry with some UV lighting. Next up was getting the primer on the shroud so it can finally be painted in a nice matte black finish. Not looking bad thus far! And again I felt like I was missing something, so I added a few details to get a richer look in the end. Those two pieces made all the difference! So here it is, PSU shroud all finished. On to the next task: Installing watercooling components!

Hello LLT Community, Min-Liang Tan posted on Facebook that Razer would consider making a Left-Handed Naga Trinity, which would be amazing as the market for Left-Handed mice is extremely limited. Sadly this is not a done-deal just yet, Min-Liang Tan is looking for demand, and would like to see 10K likes on his Facebook post. However, 10K likes alone won't make the LH Razer Naga Trinity a reality. After 10K likes are reached, Razer will start a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign for the LH Razer Naga Trinity, and only if the goal of 10K orders will be met the LH dream would become a reality. Min-Liang Tan: Link to the original post on Facebook. Min-Liang Tan post on Facebook promoting the possibility of a Left-Handed Naga Trinity Regards, MiLeX

OK, my tale begins one month ago. I decide to do a clean install of win 10. so I reset my pc to wipe everything. I had just gotten in my Razer Orbweaver and was excited to set it up. I wanted a clean machine and I needed to bang out the cobwebs it had been like 3 years since I last reset anyway. I just wanted to get rid of useless stuff. So I did this now note before I had RAZER devices installed. BLACKWIDOW OVERWATCH EDITION/RAZER NAGA TRINITY. Both worked great had no issues with synapse in the least. So I install everything that is suppose to get on the pc. I used LIVE UPDATE 6 as its faster for all the drivers and stuff. I flash the BIOS myself using a USB device. Now whenever I boot up my pc the issue is that either there will be not light display or i will get a light display but they will nto be in sync with one another. I open RAZER SYNAPSE GO TO chroma tab and try to select a lighting option and I get no response or change. The only way I can get it to work is by basically going to uninstall the program and then clicking REPAIR. If I do that then it will work for the duration of the time I am on the pc that session. However if I reset the pc or shut it down. It reverts back. No word from razer its been two weeks and they escalated the problem to their tier 2 department. You should see the back and forth I have had with these guys and the stupid pile of case numbers I have. Not to mention now that its on email basis its a long turnaround. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Thanks for contacting Razer Software Support. I'm Robel from the Tier 2 department. I've checked with the case information and I can see here this is regarding your lighting issue with your devices, even after performing the troubleshooting steps provided. We'll need the intervention of our Development Team at this point. This case will be endorsed to them, along with the logs you have provided. Please give them time to further review the logs. I'd like to thank you for extending your time and patience during this process. All the best, Robel Razer Tier II Software Support ref:_00D301H0hE._5000c1a7WmQ:ref" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So all of the diagnostic stuff is in a text document under uploaded files. I can past a Killer Diagnostic report and the MSI diagnostic report if I need to. All pertinent information can be found in the DXDIAG document below. Here is a link to my motherboard: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B150-GAMING-M3#down-driver&Win10 64. I have done a ton of troubleshooting everything from going into device manager and uninstalling each and every RAZER device listed both hidden and visible. and leaving the devices disconnected for a time before reconnecting them. Uninstalling the software completely including the RAZER SDK which I had to do in safe mode and reinstalling it after I connected my devices back to the pc. I'm at a loss I have been dealing with this so long now. I wouldn't even have any RAZER devices had my wife not gotten the keyboard and mouse for me as a Christmas Gift this past December. But my Corsair was failing me and my Logi mouse had seen better days. Since I do MMO and shooters I like the versatility of the trinity mouse. Being able to swap out plates is really nice. Please gods of the internet shed some light of what I can do to fix this issue. Also once we figure out this synapse 3.0 issue well concentrate on the issue of 2.0. Some of the same issues but cant change the colors under chroma configurator so I just uninstalled 2.0 and set the Obrweaver aside for now. DxDiag.txt

so, this is my first real project, as well as my first time in this LTT sub-forum. the other day i got the first part of what im tentatively calling project F.E.M. standing for File (nas, and personal cloud use) Encoding (handbreak) minecraft (server for myself, and nephews to play on) side note, if anyone that reads this thread has a better name to suggest for the project, im all ears. moving on, this is what i received from ebay, a xeon E5-2640V2. im slated to get the mobo next week, so ill post another update then.

Somebody call Mario I’m sure your gaming PC is astonishingly powerful and some of you probably have some pretty incredible custom built water cooling solutions, but they don’t stand a chance next to the water cooling system currently being installed at the Los Alamos’ Strategic Computing Center for the new Trinity supercomputer. Previous supercomputers at the SCC have been air-cooled, so this upgrade to the massive building needs to be in place before Trinity can start to be installed. Just be thankful you don’t have to upgrade your house when you get a new PC. In this case however the cost is a little more than what you might have paid for your gaming PC, with U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration paying $174 million, to US supercomputer hardware company Cray, to make a multi petaflop supercomputer system. According to the NNSA the supercomputer will be used to simulate “the safety, security, and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear deterrent without the use of underground testing,” and when you put it like that, the $174 million bill suddenly doesn’t look so bad. The actual Trinity supercomputer, a next generation Cray XC machine, will be placed on top of all of those pipes and running through the pipes will be water from Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Sanitary Effluent Reclamation Facility (SERF) that has been cooled by a cooling plant. No fancy lights on this machine though, so your gaming rig wins that round, for now. Inside the machine itself is going to be a combination of an unknown number of future-generation Haswells (probably 14-18 cores) and future Knights Landing processors (probably 72 cores per chip and 3 teraflops of peak performance!), complemented by an 82 petabyte capacity Cray Sonexion, distributed storage system with a throughput of 1.7Tbps (terabytes per second). “If this system were delivered today, it would be the fastest in the world” according to Barry Bolding, vice president of storage marketing at Cray. But there is at least a year before the supercomputer is delivered and installed, so by then there may be new competitors for the top spot in the world-wide supercomputer ranking, the so-called top500. The internals however, should give it the power it needs to compete with, if not overtake, the world’s fastest supercomputer, since June 2013, the Chinese Tianhe-2 at China’s National University of Defense Technology. This system currently delivers around 33.86 petaflop/s (quadrillions of calculations per second) and is mainly made up of Intel Ivy Bridge Xeon processors and Xeon Phi chips, with a total of 3,120,000 cores. The current number two is only a measly 17.59 petaflops. Ever wanted to be a computer plumber?

MSI A78M-E45 Motherboard Introduction MSI A78M-E45 is a mid-entry level motherboard for simple APU gaming machines and home entertainment PCs. It's aggressively priced and I managed to get hold on this motherboard from the store for approx. 54 USD(Sweden). Even-though it is a entry level motherboard it has overclocking features, quiet a beefy VRM heatsink, Four Dimm slots and two physical 16x PCIe slots, the bottom one is only 4x electrical. Box Front Box Rear Included Accessories A quick look in the box. The I/O Shield is plain metallic with punched markings for which connector is which. There are 2 high quality sata cables with straight to 90° angled connectors with latches. Simple white/black colours. What I actually freaked out a bit over was the really nice sized motherboard manual. It's brilliant. Far smaller than the regular one. Better for the environment and easier to handle with one hand, perfect! Included Chipset AMDs newest FM2+ Platform is a revised version of the FM2 platform, the specific chipset this motherboard is built upon is the model A78, also known as Bolton-D3. The chipset features nothing especially spectacular but full native USB 3.0, AHCI Sata controller running 6x 6Gb/s sata connections and supports raid 0, 1 and 10. The total TDP of the chipset is approx. 8W making the platform fairly low power driven compared to older chipsets and platforms. When combined with a FM2+ APU the motherboard supports PCIe 3.0 but runs on the integrated PCIe controller of the CPU, meaning that the FM2 processor will be limited to "only" PCIe 2.0. The LAN is a 1Gb/s integrated controller so ample of bandwidth. Integrated Peripherals MSI have designed this motherboard fairly well, the Chipset is decent featuring most of the features one might want and need for a mother PC. However, the Audio chipset integrated on the motherboard might leave some left to desire, although the Audio chip supports 7.1Channels HD Audio it is only an analog out, there is no Digital auto. Also the performance and fidelity given of the Realtek ALC887, is not the best. It does the job, but that is about it. Persons using USB-driven Headphones, a TV through HDMI or cheap PC Speakers might not care. But for those audiophiles and analog headphone users might wanna look at some other DACs. Internal Layout and Aesthetics Considering this is one of the mid-entry level motherboards it is in my honest opinion on of the better looking motherboards. The PCB itself is actually a brown tint which makes the black connectors blacker, and the blue brighter. Neat! The layout is simple yet clever. Layout The 1x PCIe is unfortunately beneath the 16x PCIe graphics slot rendering the use of a WiFi, capture or sound card much harder. Placing this 1x slot on the top would have made much more sense sin the clearance for a big air cooler would be far greater when no card in the 1x would be in use. The next PCIe is on the bottom making it suitable for a second graphics card in cases with five expansion slots such as the BitFenix Phenom with an extra gap between the two cards. The VRM Heatsink is impressive considering the price and competitions closest lineups. Might help with overclocking. The Auxiliary CPU power is only a 4pin which limits the power to the socket from the PSU directly to only 150Ws. Completely sufficient, remember, the motherboards supply some power aswell. Considering the power usage of a AMD A10 7850k should be far be low the total of 150W overclocked so there is no reason to despair. VRM Heatsink What I find the Motherboard lacking is the amount of fan headers. There is a 4-pin CPUFan, a 4-pin SysFan and a 3-pin SysFan, that's it. Something which severely limits the amount of supported fan without the use of adapters. Personally I'd like to see at least one more 3-pin. Preferable 2more for a total of 4 SysFans. There are 8 mounting holes(the MSI website states 6 which is wrong) and the motherboard is a full size mATX in width. The PCB is the same MSI use for higher end cards indicated of the vacant slot for 2 additional Sata Ports. Vacant slot for Sata-ports Memory The motherboard features four Memory slots capable of supporting up to 64GB of Ram, it does not on the other-hand support ECC-memory which limits the actual memory to a maximum of 32GB since there is no real supply of 16GB non-ECC ram as of yet. It supports memory speeds a maximum of 2133MHz which puts it on par with the integrated Memory Controller in the AMD APU flagships, clever design. It utilities a dual channel design and supports both AMP (AMD Memory Profile) and XMP (Extreme Memory Profile). UEFI Still in progress. Connectivity There is a fair bit of connectivity on the motherboard. The HDMI also is 4k resolution capable. I would really like a DisplayPort connector though. I/O Panel Summary This is a really interesting motherboard, MSI have taken a sub $70 mATX motherboard with both decent cooling for the power phases and VRM and enabled both CrossfireX and lots of Ram-expandability making this motherboard really attractive for a simple cheap machine.
