IN WIN 901 BUILD

[Daenny]

Hello folks!

 

This is my first pc build, after a few mistakes here and there i finally finished the build.

I chose this build because i wanted a PC that was small and nice looking, i chose this case since it looks elegant.

The airflow is not great in this case, ut i think there is possible to do some small mods and changes to make it alot cooler.

 

I hope u guys like this build, and I would really appreciate if anyone could suggest away to make this builds airflow cooler,

since my gpu heats up fast, up to 80+°C when playing bf4 on ultra, 80°C might not be a huge deal, but the annoying thing is the pc sounds like a jet taking off when playing

games like bf3 on high settings.(Exuse my terible English, im Norwegian )

 

 

Specs:
GPU: GTX 690 SLI GPU 4GB
CPU: i5-4690k
MOBO: ASROCK z97-e
PSU: Coolermaster v 850w
RAM: 2x4gb corsair dominator
HDD: Seagate 1TB and Samsung SSD 120GB

AIO: Corsair H100i

 

Sorry for terible pictures,

One of the sexiest cases. That tempered glass panel tho.

Won that gpu in a counterstrike competition a while ago, so i thought why not use it in this build. Maybe u could recommend a better gpu, that doesnt heat up like the 690, id prefer a gpu that got the geforce led logo on the side of it

looks pretty cool

 

Thanks, glad u like it

I totally agree! Yeeaaah that glass panel.... i wish case manufacturers would make cases with similar glass panel. Makes a pc case look alot better.

If you want a GPU that will look like it and perform better, the only option is the GTX 980 Ti. The temps likely aren't as bad as the GTX 690, but it's not as good as an aftermarket cooler, that's for sure. The GTX 980 is an option if you don't mind a sidegrade at best.

Thank you for ur answer, but atm i dont think i can invest that much into a gpu. Since here in norway pc parts are expensive as F compared to other countries. What u think about the gtx 780 or gtx 780ti? dont mind if the performance is the same as gtx 690, i just want the pc to be less noisy and lower temps. Im a noob when it comes to pc builds/hardware, but out curiousity when u said why gtx 690 what did u really mean? is it that bad or?

There's nothing really wrong with the GTX 690 as a card, it's just getting older and it has 2GB usable VRAM in games (VRAM doesn't stack in SLI, a GTX 690 is essentially dual GTX 680s on a single card.) I wouldn't buy a GTX 780 or GTX 780 Ti to replace it though, as they're not that much better on temps. If you could get your hands on one, possibly sell the GTX 690 and get a reference GTX 970? (That is if you can find one, they're not the easiest to get.)
