What’s the worst part of your rig?

I don't go to Micro Center too often, even though I am within the vicinity of five of them. They're a little out of the way and I don't want to bother my parents with going somewhere to just look at something as opposed to buying it.

 

As for Fry's, I'm pretty sure they're more West Coast.

I have a Fry's in Chicago

Can't you drive yet? and 5??? We only had one in the west coast, and it closed down. Sucks.

No, I don't drive yet. I have to get my license, which will take driving lessons and such. And yes, five.

btw  you should change the font color for your sig. Dark theme users can't see it.

Oh, I thought you were a senior who just turned 18. Where did I read that?

My rig is pretty sweet, but i hate how 2 of my 14 fans are rattling, and 3 others are slightly noisy. I really need to replace those first two and limit the RPMs of the other 3, then my system would be pretty much silent

Try having a computer that only recognises 1 case fan out of the 2 available, and the inability to actually adjust the speed below 100% (silent/optimal/performance are apparently all the same), even with headphones the noise gets distracting, though on the plus side I don't have any heat issues when I overclock.

i personally would just make my own custom case with a zillion fan mounts, and have it in the other room, ^~^

After a certain amount of fans, you can easily turn them down so low in RPM that they don't make any noise, and still keep the system very cool. Apart from 2 bad fans, and 3 that i haven't set up yet, my system i nearly silent. My cpu ranges from 18-40 (idle to prime95), and my gpu ranges from 25-40-60 (idle, most demanding games, synthetic benchmarks)

im saying so i can run them all at max and have crazy insane water cooling and shit.

hardcore insane high temps should be like 5 above idle. xD

I ended up moving back to my 650D. I gave up on the whole mobile desktop idea.

I wish I had a different case to retreat to... This is my first build....

You probably pushed it a bit too hard.

The thing is, it happened after I added a GPU to the system. I had to lower my clocks because my PSU couldn't handle it, then I got a new PSU and it should be fine, but I don't know.

If that's the case, definitately try a new PSU.

Huh, why so? I was thinking about it for my secondary. Any specific issues of note?

I realized the majority of the time that I need the horsepower of a desktop I was sitting at my desk with few exceptions. I ended up moving my old system that was in the 650d into the Prodigy M for a light weight LAN pc that I can have on standby. The old System was moved to the 650D mainly because I wanted a stationary system and the prodigy m proved too small to cool a 780 plus i7.

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ

Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

My Prodigy build having a bad balance of CPU to GPU power... If the Pentium G3258 had been released 3 weeks earlier.... man, coulda gotten a lot more for my money.

Also, Leftovers has a sh*tty case, DDR2, Sata 2, no SSD,  one fan and no options for more - still love the thing but it's far from "bleeding edge" in any way.
