GREEN

[Stardar1]

I designed a green PC, because, i dunno, i was bored

 

 

now note that this isnt a NVidia or Razer build, so im not going with a case that has their logo (both exist)

I also know that not all the prices are there, but meh. 

and I know that Caviar green drives are not as good as black, blue etc. i just used it because green.

for extra pew-pew

 

any thoughts?

 

[PlayStation 2]

why did you do a sli 970 setup

could've taken 390s and painted them green :^)

because these were already green, and paint is cheating

 

cable kits and LED kits are ok, paint is across the line

would've been funny as hell if you know any nvidia fanboys irl

then all those Case Modder are cheater ? btw Linus did paint Maximus Motherboard is that counted as cheating ?

Linus can do whatever he wants, and my rule for this build was physical products that can be bought with money, rather than a service for a custom paint job

You should definitely just take 390s and paint them green, they'll be a good deal better than 970s

or better yet do a custom water loop on it instead

And you don't want 1.5TB green drives unless the sound of a clicking hard drive soothes you

And you could save a bunch of money on mushkin 480GB drives, also they're green

And I would advise against that headset

Also go for MX-4 thermal paste, it's non conductive and performs the same, bit safer overall.

and I don't think I'd trust that cooler for very long, seriously just spend the money on a custom loop instead

you're avoiding my question arent you ?, you said painting is cheating btw you didnt mention that in the first Post

My suspicions are on him being an Nvidia fanboy :^)

[Stardar1]

guys, i wanted to make a PC look green, and my personal rule was no paint and no custom cooling. i know that a 390x or a 980ti or 2 of them would be better, but they dont come in green

 

there is no budget here, and i will never buy this

 

and @Streetguru, i didnt know that they were actually green, ill take a look

That makes much more sense

But then, why not just get 2 like titan Xs in the build?

for the record:

 

370 4GB > GTX 950/960

R9 380 4GB >GTX 960 4GB

R9 390x GB > GTX 970

R9 Fury > GTX 980

 

and its a bit of a tossup between the 980ti and fury x

 

i have a GTX 970 in my build because i got it before the 390x was a thing, also i personally like driver support over raw performance

[Stardar1]

r7 370 4gb is pretty gross and gets smoked by the 950 and 960

yes

well duh it's more expensive

^

[givingtnt]

get a 980ti instead

[Stardar1]

read the post man, read whats been said.

[Swndlr]

Or gotten the 100ME models, those are already green

[PlayStation 2]

i mean the 370 doesn't have enough horse power to take advantage of that 4gb

[Stardar1]

Or gotten the 100ME models, those are already green

yeah, thats what i got, the GTX 970 100ME, that is what is in the list

[givingtnt]

read the post man, read whats been said.

wtf you talking about.

[Swndlr]

Noice, idk if they make the 390's in 100ME

[Stardar1]

wtf you talking about.

it has already been said that 1. price is no object, 2. this isnt about performance, its about color, 3. the 970s arent the best choice
