What’s the worst part of your rig?

I wasn't able to get a Core i3, so my 7950 is really held back in some games (not so bad in others). Yay for my G3258 not wanting to be overclocked. -_- It loves to be undervolted though.

The only thing I regret about my build is that I bought it pre-built instead of building it myself. The technician had made some stupid mistakes like leaving the metal bracket blocking the GPU fan, never properly hooking up the wires for the front audio, some small metal parts for the case were missing, and it cost way too damn much for what it was worth. I was young and didn't know much about computers when I bought it otherwise I would have just made it myself. That was about 10 years ago and I've done all upgrades by myself ever since.

My i5-4670k was like that, was alergic to overlocking and only liked to work at an under clock of 3.00Ghz

Mine is happy with stock and .92v. Worked all day today in ETS2 and it didn't care. Max temp was 47C, I want to say, with my 7950 making my case really warm. And to think, I'm hoping to get a Hyper 212 EVO for Christmas. xD

I brought a GT 640. Annoyingly I'm basically waiting for the 960 to exist before I can upgrade it.

I modded a glass display on mine, easy work but my psu isn't modular, and cable management is extremely difficult in a small work area. Rip.

I hate the shitty case with broken front USB ports and the fact that my CPU is bottlenecking my 770 kinda badly at times.

I hate that it's not completely dead silent under a heavy load.

 

Yeah, I know...

Also the window on my Enthoo pro is a bit too tinted for my taste...

I have reference cards in sli, so I have to turn the fan speed up really high to keep them cool. Obviously, it's sooo loud  :(

Everything is being bottlenecked by a GTX 460 that has lifetime warranty. And I can't seem to fry the card to take advantage of the warranty..... embarrassing I know... 

take of the heatsink fry it then but it back on...

Stupid CPU runs too hot (40-45) when idle even with this brand new Corsair H105. My friend has the same CPU and a Corsair H100i and it idles in the mid 20's :'(

Where to start? some of these are setup complaints, not just pc rig

-non modular psu

-define r4 is great but its on my desk which is already small so having it and a triple monitor setup is not possible(just have dual)

-this is something everyone suffers from but I wish EVERY fan mount had a filter, not just the front

-have a great condenser mic with interface but no movable mic arm so it has to sit on a tower of crap that make it a tad harder to type accurately/quickly when recording/streaming

-craigslist deathadder = dead. using $10 Microsoft mouse which is surprisingly not horrible, I must admit.

-my main "monitor" is 1920x1080p but it is a tv. don't know what type of panel but its the matte one that turns black when viewing from an angle. the fact that its a tv, as im sure many of you know, make for a shitty pixel quality/density at a monitor type viewing distance.

-2nd monitor isn't even 16 by 9 ratio so dual monitor wallpapers look all out of place.

-fx6300 cooling fan was DOA but I got the hyper 212 evo anyways, no biggie

-NONE of the front usb 2/3 ports work on my define r4. NONE

-define r4 has a great place to hide weed in the 5 and a quarter inch drive mounts but my mom found out so I was forced to put an optical drive in. phuck optical drives

-for some reason sony vegas 13 just wont work on my pc no matter what. Ive tried everything, maybe some of you seen my post. now I have to learn premiere and be cool like the linus crew

 

ALL THIS BEING SAID, I freaking love my pc. all of these complaints are just minor things compared to the joy/satisfaction/functionality/entertainment that my rig has brought me. I definitely appreciate having it.
