Somewhere between Jellyfish and Carpet.

Probably closer to Blueberry tho.

Thanks a lot for the reply Radium. Wasn't what I expected when I signed up here.

You are welcome. My aim is to make everyone's life a little more surreal.

 

As it stands, being serious for a moment, you rig seems very nice.

Certainly nicer than mine, but you probably spent more for your GPU than I did for my whole rig (I use dual Xeons on a DDR3 platform)

I don't game much (2 games) so I save a ton of money that way.

[madness2891]

I know, I caught on after a while... and yeah, a duel Xeon set up has its perks in it's own right, certainly nothing wrong there! 

[NinJake]

I like the fact you have proper floor-standing speakers. Nice computer though!

[madness2891]

Thanks NinJake, but I gotta upgrade the AV reciever now because its HDMI is only rated for FHD @60hz. I need something with UHD pass through. But the Denon has served me well, so another, newer version will replace it sometime.

Ooo a black and white config. Much bling. If I have to add, I'd put in white LED fans instead of green ones. Possibly add another 16gb of RAM, just to spice things up.

Looks good, but either get another 16gB stick of RAM or replace it with 2 8gB sticks

Yes need to be running dual channel for proper performance. Matched sticks always best.

 

Very nice rig BTW.

[madness2891]

Ok, thanks for the replies. The case has RGB fans/strips aswell as the cooler, the pic was taken while set to run through the spectrum and was just green at the time of the pic. The two controllers are daisy chained, so I only need one remote or the reset button. As for the ram, I'm looking at getting a quad channel set(4×8gb) of crucial balistix sport LT 2666mhz. Has anyone had any experience with this specific set? Any good? I can get this set at a very good price so I'm leaning toward it. A little help here guys...??

Aha! The pic would've looked even better if you had taken it at the exact moment the fans were white. :L

 

But to answer your question, RAM rarely causes any problems in a config especially if it's not some weird company that produces them. I don't have experience with that specific set, but I'd say go for it if you can get them for a good price.

 

Even better, how about throwing in some more and getting  the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro White set to add to the bling?

12 Tb HDD storage? Any particular reason for this? Pretty sweet looking build though.

[madness2891]

Yes, 12gb. Now I'm thinking of adding 2x10gb and the ram upgrade. Just waiting till lockdown is over... The reason for this amount of storage? I simply have alot to store and I need it to be readily available instantly at any given time.

Oh no, a typo!

 

Could do with a GPU upgrade. (somewhere along the lines of 2070 or 5700xt)

Other than that, it's great!

[madness2891]

Oh damn, yes a typo..... Anyways, done a bit of overclocking and achieved these on unigen heaven (3840×2160 & 1920x1080). Can anyone suggest a free stress tool so I can see if my overclock will hold up in gameplay? 

Power limit: untouched

Temp limit: 88°c

Core clock: +175MHz

Memory clock: +760MHz

 

Oh and I upped my ddr from 2666MHz to 3200MHz(XMP in BIOS), the voltage went up from 1.33v to 1.35v, but the CPU is untouchable....

[Rybo]

Surprised to see one of the beefier CPUs on the market cooled with a 140mm AIO, though it doesn't look like you're overclocking it, so I guess you won't be generating that much heat.  How are CPU temps?   

[madness2891]

No overclock there, its a "Non K" version. For my purposes I didnt need the K version, this was plenty as it is. Stressing it on AIDA64 for around 40min brings temps up to 85°c with all cores running at 4,49GHz. This is a gaming rig after all, so yeah, its plenty as it is. Very happy how its turned out, but I still want to get a dual channel memory kit.

Very similar set up to mine. Only GPU, less ram and case that’s different.

 

how do you find it?
