47 and just fitted water for the first time...and a new PSU....and two new cards (2nd hand really but new to me)

[ThatScottishguy]

Using older gear to keep costs down...as I'm poor...I'm quite happy with the result. No RGB, No fancy shmancy case, would be genuinely embarrassing to bring, well, anywhere

Using my, VERY, old Silverstone Grandia media case (recently watched Linus review it years ago) though, as you see, the Water cooling didn't fit so had to attach the fans outside but made a cover out of the Cases Filter cover.

had only fitted a RX 2 days ago, taking out an older HD7970 Twin Fozr III. 

Intel 4690K

ASUS Z97-A 

24GB Crucial Ballistix

2 x Sapphire Pulse RX580's

Corsair RM1000X PSU

Corsair H100i V2 Cooler

Samsung EVO 860 Evo 256GB

Samsung P951 M.2 512GB

You need to clean your fans

The bad ones were under the chassis that holds all the HDD's, BluRay etc..it lifts out of the case seperately but can be a pain in T A.Everything was removed, individually cleaned with an anti static cleaner and replaced. I'm just quite chuffed that I managed to do it.....I'm not the most confident with the possibility of killing my system..hahahaha to be fair...it's actually a great case for what it is.

How's the cooling on those?

 

I bought two Sapphire RX 580s a few months ago and their temps were great (60C at 100% load). They were also insanely quiet when mining.

Only fitted the first 3 days ago, removing a HD7970 Twin Fozr III) and the second one 2hrs ago...but it is very very quiet...like almost silent. I'll update on temperatures when I can...maybe a day or 2 and tag you in by reply

I'm a fan of horizontal motherboard layouts. I used to scan eBay for a deal on a Gandia or similar, but the ones in good shape ended up going too high. Especially for someone who wasn't exactly sure what he was going to do with it

I have 3 Grandia cases as the 2 Q6600 systems are in older GD06 cases... They have masses of space and the removable HDD chassis is actually really handy. I litteraly came acrross Linus doing a review of the 08 case 2 days ago...lol Check it out...hahahaha, so young....
