Posted March 17, 2015 Black N Blue Typhoon "The new apartment killed it,... Rebornish" So heya All, This is just my tired Build thats gona be getting a little Boost of performance over the next coming weeks. First off all, the Rigg is now dead, my new apartment had some faulty wiring and this create a short circuit when I booted it up for the first time Today =/, A light smell of burned plastic and a tiny "puff" of smoke! Atleast my fusebox's residual-current circuit breaker works , after taking everything apart and trouble shooting I'w found two soot spoots around the CPU-Socket and on the backside of the Southbrigde =/ the smell of burned plastic is getting more pungent. The Motherboard won't start up at all, no Power, LED's dont light up, Fans won't start spinning and no boot-sound from the little PC-speaker. After checking the MB and CPU (both Dead) I take a look at the GPU, this POOR sucker didnt suvive either =(. Specs were: MB: Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 @ Beta Bios CPU: Phenom II 1055t @ Stock CPU Cooler: BeQuite! SR2 RAM: Corsair Value 8GB @ 1600MHz GPU: Asus GTX 560 1GB @ Stock PSU: Ocz ZT 750 SSD: 3x Kingston SSDNow300 120GB Setup and Temporary Office. My Keyboard and mouse. Case window sideview. Case open insideview. Motherboard. Backside of things. (yber-cablemanagment) So now I'm left with a PSU that actually still works , Some DDR3 RAM and 3 Kingston SSDnow300 120GB drives (won one, got one from the Mrs. and bought one for 20$ and they are all the first GEN =D.) I won't be using the PSU cause I don't truly know if it's in fully working condition after this event. I have 2 new in box psu's, 1 ocz zt 750 and 1 seasonic (ddon't remember the model nr but it's a 750W And atleast bronze) Time for the small Boost in Performance: Specs will Become: MB: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 @ Beta Bios CPU: FX 8320/8350 @ Stock as a starting point CPU Cooler: BeQuite! SR2 RAM: Corsair XMS3 16GB @ 1333MHz (AMD stock settings) GPU: SLI Gigabyte GTX 670 OC 2GB @ Stock as a starting point PSU: Ocz ZT 750 SSD: 3x Kingston SSDNow300 120GB Arrived: MB: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (27$) GPU: 2x Gigabyte GTX 670 OC 2GB (120$ for the Pair) Still Waiting on: CPU: FX 8320/8350, Depending on which one runs the coolest (getting both, only paid 70$ for the pair) RAM: Corsair XMS3 16GB (24$) SLI Bridge, I forgot to take it with me from the old apartment Alchemy white braided Cable extensions (orded a bunch for 20$) Paracord in Blue and Grey +shrinkable tubing (50M of each, 20$) Motherboard and GTX 670 SLi setup. Motherboard and GTX 670 SLi setup. Motherboard and GTX 670 SLi setup. Just Cause. So that's the beginning of the little Boost of Performance. Updates will be coming as stuff arrives/gets found/gets here =D and ofc I have the time to upload... //enRodjavel i7 4790K@4.5GHz-1.15V, BeQuiet!

Posted March 17, 2015 Author So here Comes an update of my little Boost in performance,... In the First Post the Pics are from the beginning of the Month, and these ones are from Today =D Parts took some time getting here but now let's start the essembly. First of the MB gets some Work done Heatsinks off TIM And Done, Time for SLI =D Let's get the Corpse out of the Coffin Cooler out a smudge Old MB and dead 1055T =/ served me well Empty and that Cablehorror Reflection, Clean CPU Cooler Went with the FX 8320 as it arrived first, got the CPUs sent in 2 different parcel TIM and Backplate on Time to Anchor the BEAST Screwed All Tightened RAM goes in, might not be the right Slots but I can change it xP New Body back in the Coffin SLI hug time Some Droop All SLIed UP =D Big happy FACE SO here She is in a body shoot. This is as she stands right now, I know the Cablemanagment aint the best but she still got some Benchmarking and Testing to GO through before Getting a Grooming around the edges =D (Sry for my not so awsome english but English aint my spoken language so bear with me.) That's that for now, Benchmarks coming during the day, atleast Stock ones. //enRodjavel (didn't forget the tiny battery) i7 4790K@4.5GHz-1.15V, BeQuiet!

Posted March 20, 2015 Author Small Update with some Benchmark scores. I'm Sad, my kit of 16GB XMS3 1600MHz DDR3 is dead=/ so there is only my old kit of 8GB 1333MHz in the system right now. Done some Testing and Benchmarking on this little Machine. Starting with the regular syntetic Benchmarks Valley, 3Dmark11 and 3Dmark Firestrike @ Stock Clocks. ValleyExtreme Stock Clock score. Temps and GPU clock. 3Dmark11Extreme Stock Clock Score. 3Dmark Firestrike Stock Clock Score. i7 4790K@4.5GHz-1.15V, BeQuiet!

Posted March 20, 2015 you should turn you cpu cooler so the letters are facing the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 20, 2015 Author you should turn you cpu cooler so the letters are facing the right direction I can't, atleast not with a AMD Socket. The braces will only fit one way. If I change my platform to an intel then the Text could be the right way but the temps would be a little worse in theory cause the heatpipes wouldnt get maximum airflow coverage (it shouldn't but still) i7 4790K@4.5GHz-1.15V, BeQuiet!

Posted March 23, 2015 Author A small Update... Quick Overclock on the CPU and GPUs CPU = 4200MHz and auto Volt @ 1.376 GPUs = just 110% powerlimit This equals to a slightly higher performance on 3Dmark Firestrike and Valley but on 3Dmark11 there seams to be little to none increase on performance (i dont know if a score of 100 more in 3dmark11 equal the same kind of increase as the score of aroudn 1300 more in Fire strike.
