What’s the worst part of your rig?

[DLM_012]

My system is completely silent with the exception of the absurd coil whine. It's not horrible (barely audible sometimes) but think about it this way... You're in a dead silent house and you can't help but hear the dripping of a faucet everywhere you go in that house. It will begin to drive you crazy after a while won't it? That's how my PC is when it's sitting idle.

That I've got a custom loop, but haven't yet got my 780 to watercool. so I'm only on a cpu only loop atm

[WhatTheQuack]

Probably my case, (bitfenix prodigy M) and my  peripherals (random generic keyboard and mouse)

My case!! The top grill gets loose and rattles so I have to smack it every once in a while, the side panel got bent so it's open on the side and the internals are full of dust, and the top IO has always been terrible.  The 3mm jacks have static and the USB ports are misaligned with the plastic.  Thermaltake ain't getting props on this model from me, although it has been weathered by time.  I'm also mildly bothered by my aging 1st gen Core+P55 combo, but I don't really feel the need to upgrade, even when I'm underutilizing my l337 r4m.

Most of my gripes with my system are on the software side, though.  AMD driver drama with HDMI audio and windows with the thumbnail deleting thing, what gives?

My AX1200i that coilwhines and is preventing me go micro/mini atx/itx

[YellowMenace]

my case haha. still waiting for it on back order.. according to the branch it will take a few weeks

The struggle is real.

[lmao234]

Nothing really. I chose all my components wisely with tonnes of research. No problems or gripes.

The one in my sig, and it doesn't play cds and dvds that i put in. after researching a bit i found out it wasnt compatible to win 8, just from the os before vista.

My 2x120mm AIO cooler is starting to give up. It's almost 4 years old and it just cant tame the hot running i7 950 anymore. Also, I really want an SSD boot drive.

It's loud, has only E8400 in it and there isn't much space in it.

If your mobo supports get a core quad

Off topic: I was away from this thread for like 6 - 7 hours (due to sleep). When I came back (and I followed this topic), this happened:

omfg why.jpg

 

And most of the notifications (well over half of them) were from this thread... (If you can't see it due to ridiculously low-res, it's 347 notifications)

 

 

On topic:  Need to change some things on my previous post.

 

Now my GPU remains on the list, but this time it's the GTX 590. It idles at ~75°C, while my old 550 Ti idled at ~40°C - 60°C.

 

Also need to add: my horrible cable management. Cheapo case... You'll get why it's a complete mess.

I followed experience with non techies the first day.. Oh the horror

[Guest]

Mine has to be the case it is made of cheap plastic and does not look nice.

 

What do you hate about your rig?

That it's got a C2D... And 2GB of RAM... At least the GPU is good!

[DarkCrow]

the fact that i cant turn my led lights on and off at will without turning off the computer

Same here

[cnapier39428]

Nothing at all I decided how I wanted my rig to be, got paid, bought all the parts, assembled...

[Calidus]

My PSU pretty much, its a Corsair TX750M and its partially modular, but not fully modular. The cables it believed i should have by standard apart from the motherboard power cables was sata. These cables are quite bulky and make my otherwise decent cable management a bit of a mess, the optional sata cables that are modular are the thin easy to manage ones.

 

So yeah, kind of want a fully modular PSU next time something gives me an excuse to change.

 

Edit: I should note its not about being tidy, the side has a little bit of an issue being put on as i need both non-modular and modular sata cables due to two optical and five hard drives.

[CamandoSpawn]

Mostly my CPU since I was an idiot and got a locked CPU. It would have been nice to be able to over clock in the future seeing as I have no need of upgrading (other than pci3) any time soon. I'm not a huge fan of my case, mostly the noise. Will be getting a silent case in the near future. 

[UnknownEngineer]

The case, the dust, the old HDD that wants to die but cant, because it isn't even sentient, or have arms.

[SeanAngelo]

pretty much everything on my computer, nearly 4 years old. Be that the CPU, motherboard, the case, the fans, the heat sink. the only thing i wouldn't change now is my graphics card, an ASUS GTX 670. it got given to me when my brother built his second computer.

[shizngiggles]

I hate that my case is too large to bring with me when I'm out of state for work

[herpdermit]

Cheap mother board... Nuf said

[DefinitelyNotAPedophile]

No ssd and I can't under lot some of my led fans

[KE2012]

On my gaming machine it has to be the cable management of my case. But on my laptop its the fact that it runs windows 8.1

[ttam]

Right now I swapped everything back to my Corsair 600T until my new case comes. 

 

My cats use my tower as a step to get into the window.. and the 600t power button is right where they step so they turn it off often. Only thing I hate about my current setup.

[Suika]

The power supply. I need a new one, mine is barely even consider "semi-modular" and it's relatively small to what I want.

 

The case is alright, I just hate the color. Corsair Vengeance C70 White.

 

The blue LEDs. I'm too cheap to buy new fans, and these were what I had.

 

The motherboard. Granted, it's reliable enough, it's just a 970 chipset. When I build my PC, I hadn't a clue what that meant. Now I do, and I can't overclock.

[crispy345]

It vibrates like CRAZY sometimes, I have to literally whack it for it to shut up. And it's in a R4 too lol

[GeTecknics]

Same here

its annoying isnt it sometimes i jut want to be alone in a dark room while doing stuff on my computer and other times i want it look like i conducting otherworldly rituals and summoning beings from different plains of existence with a bunch of flashing lights o well my problem will soon be solved with a nzxt hue not all that flashy but still seems to be a good product
