I will be doing new build for me in late december urly jan.
Yesterday i ordered
Mobo.Asus M5A99X EVO AM3+
CPU: AMD FX-4100 4x3.6Ghz
Ram:Corsair Vengeance 16Gb.
I need to buy some more stuff like Psu,Hdd's,Case,Cpu cooler,fan controller
Cpu cooler options are Antec H2O 920,Corsair H80,H100.
Case ??????????????????????
PSU ???????????????????????
Fan controller ????????????????
So any ideas for case,psu and fan controller?
which budget are we talking about here?
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Still dont know but low as possible.
hmm.. Well the brands you should look into for PSU's is Antec, Corsair and Enermax imo.
Cases, cooler master, nexus, fractal design and also the P-series from antec
And I'd choose the fan controller when you know which case you'll go for :)
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Great chose on the MoBo. I'm gonna go with that one too when it's time to upgrade, hopefully less then 1 month?
Today i contacted the store where i ordered mobo and cpu,i changed the cpu for AMD FX-8120 and recived gratis CM 200mm. fan vith red led :),build just got litlle bit slower but ill get there :).
Ok im confused about my choice of mobo. cause Asus site dosn't mention that M5A99X EVO AM3+ is compatible with new AMD FX cpu,but some stores are selling this in bundlle,anyone can help me clear this?
Well it's probably just Asus who doesn't update their site. Many companies don't update their site like they should. If a shop sells that mobo and cpu together in a bundle, then it should deffinitely fit together ;)
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Ok Asus updated their site all seam's ok now haha.
So how's this project going so far?
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Yes the new thing i bought is Corsair TH750 V2 modular PSU,rest of it is still the same :( and im looking some ssd's dont know wich to buy.I'm tinking of OCZ vertek 3 ,Corsair force series 3 and kingston Hyper x not shure yet.
Ok some changes in new build CPU cooler Antec H20 920,case will be Antec P280.
Nice!
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Ok pictures coming soon from long overdue build i have allmost all parts i need so specs are,AMD 6790 Gpu,AMD FX 6100 CPU,ASUS M5A99X-Evo motherboard,Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz ram,Corsair TX 750w PSU and for now CM HAF 912+ case,Cpu cooer Antec H2o 920.
I will post soon some pictures i RMA motherboard cause there was no post:-( so this week i recive mobo and will be putting all things together.
The shop was kind to me and they gived me PC to test the AMD A8 apu with MSI mobo and 4 GB corsair value ram so there will be few words about that aswell :-)
Alllright very nice! Looking forward to that all :D
http://www.ccreviews.eu
I sold Corsair memory few days back and bought Kingston Hyper X 8Gb 1600Mhz and ordered Corsair Carbide 500R white case so tomorow i will post pictures when it goes all together:-)
:3 can't wait.. :p
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Aded OCZ Vertex 3 SSD 120GB to build
Haha allright this is really getting interesting. I've noticed SSD prices are dropping extremely well, so I guess that's what made you decide to get one aswell?
I'd like to see some benchmarks with this too btw. ;p
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Here are benchmarks with AS SSD benchmark :-)
those are some pretty good results! How much did that drive cost btw?
http://www.ccreviews.eu
It costed me 170e witch is somewhat normal i think.
that's very good for a 120gb drive :)
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Some goods that i colected
My new Corsair Carbide 500R white.
And build from my friend wich have same case but it has 32GB memory,ASUS Rampage extreme IV,Radeon HD 7970,Intel i7? 1,5TB wd drive and OCZ vertex 3 120GB.
We had big problem installing motherboard in corsair's case cause it does not support e-atx boards,so some drilling was neded on bottom right corner of motherboard tray to fit the motherboard in.
awesome! If that's the only thing you have to do to get an e-atx mobo in that case though; I feel like corsair should just change that edge a little there.
http://www.ccreviews.eu
There is one more thing he cant use bottom sata conectors cause they are to close to that edge so only upper ones are usable.
I see :)
His system looks nice though, I wish I could afford one like that atm..
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Ok all finished and OC-ed to 4,3Ghz,temps with Antec H2O-920 cooler are:
Ambient temp.23C
Idle temps.
CPU,29-30c.
MB,25C.
Prime95 after 4-hrs. ambient temp. 24C.
CPU,54C.
MB,26c.
when fans are on extreme (extremly noisy only cooler fans)
CPU,48C.
MB,26C
Getting wet with EKWB cooling solution project is still in the making and will be finished in next few days.
HD7970
120 rad at front 240 rad on top of the case
CPU and mobo is allso EKWB cooled.
Reservoar is allso from EKWB.
so the coming work is to install the pump and to do cabel manegmant .
Very nice! I'm currently in contact with EKWB. I'm probably going to make a watercooling loop for the CPU in my current casemod project with their hardware. (If they can send what I asked for, which I'll probably know by tomorrow :D)
Are you going to put any dye in that loop? Like a UV color or something? Also, which fittings are those and the tube size?
http://www.ccreviews.eu
It will be red coolant http://www.ekwaterblocks.com/shop/accessories/water-additives-coolants/e..., tube is 10mm and allso the fittings are http://www.ekwaterblocks.com/shop/accessories/fittings/compression-fitti...
allright thanks
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Build has changed slightly from HD 7970 to GTX 680 still waitng for wather block from EK for GTX :-) And memory is changed to 16Gb Kingston Hyper X H2o 2133Mhz.
ooh so if I'm correct your also going to watercool the memory? :D
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Yes memory will be watercooled but not aftermarket cooling it's prebuild from Kingston http://www.kingston.com/us/memory/hyperx/h2o.
Yeah I've seen it before :) It seems hard to put the tubes on though, to make them go from one stick to the other. How many memory sticks will you have?
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Ther will be 4 sticks 2 on each side of CPU.dont know yet if tube will be used or some adaptrs to conect stics together.
if you use tubes you could let them go from one side to the other of the cpu. It doesn't nessecarely have to go from one stick to the next. That what I'd do with tubes though :P little fittings work too
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Still didnt install the Hyper X h2o memory cause fittings are to close to GPU,dont know yet what will be done with that issue but GTX 680 is allredy installed :-) and Sapphire HD7970 is now installed in my rig pernamently :-).
And my new pride :-)Fan is much too loud that is why im saving now some money to wathercool whole PC i allredy have EK watherblock for GPU.
this build is starting to look really awesome!
For that ram, could you use 90° angle fittings? I've also seen memory once where the WC fittings on it were faced up so you wouldn't have this isue.. I don't recal which memory it was though.
http://www.ccreviews.eu
I wwould have to remove one end of memory fitting to install 90 angle fitting my guess is waranty will be void if removing it i will chek with Kingston on that.
I made some changes to my setup cause i plan going water cooling and my current case Corsair Carbide 500R is to small so i bought CM Stryker case and one more SSD (OCZ Agility 3 120Gb).In next few week i will buy EK-KIT H30 240 LTX with aditional XT 24 rad and later Bitfenix Alchemy cables.
Here are few pictures of my new moster case:)
CM Storm Stryker, I love that case.
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Today i ordered EK-KIT H30 240 LTX with few extra fittings huray:)
Sweet ;D
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Finaly i installed water cooling i still need to order fittings for nemory and few other fittings but it's not bad i will order better pump or pump/res combo from XSPC and another 240 rad.
awesome!
http://www.ccreviews.eu
Ok new 240rad from EK will wait a bit longer cause i ordered ASUS Crosshair V formula/thunderbolt mobo,AMD FX8150 CPU,EK Supreme LTX CPU block and new EK-BAY DCP 2.2 res/pump combo with few extra fittings.Only thing left to upgrade is memory still dont know what will be used for that im planing Corsair Dominator GT cause i can cool it with EK kit Dominator X2 or x4 but not shure yet about that
