1080 Ti + Seasonic 750w 80+ Titanium PRIME PSU post coming soon to a forum near you.

While you wait, you can check out this over 9,000 Time Spy benchmark score I just got. :P

OK now I'm jealous DeltrusDisc, my 7700k and 1070 only gets just over 6000

So I finally had the time to upgrade my PC

And you have still not removed that signature. You do know how stupid it makes you look right??????

only to people who can't tell AHCI, IDE and SATA apart.

Yet, you did ask us to prove to you that m.2 SATA drives existed alongside NVMe PCI-E versions, and you went dead silent in that thread.

You silently admitted your ignorance.

And he knows it which is why he sticks to his signature even though it makes him look like a petty jerk. Removing it would prove that he was wrong and he can't accept that.

And if you look here under form factors you have M2 SATA wiki M.2

Wow from the looks of the thread, people do love having eye-candy in their builds (mine doesn't even have tidied up cabling).

My setup consists of:
CPU: i7 4770 with a Xigmatek Apache-III cooler
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 2 x 8 GB 1600 MHz CL10
MoBo: MSI B85M-E45
GPU: Sapphire R7 370 (NITRO Dual-X OC 4 GB)
Drive: 240 GB Samsung 840 EVO
PSU: SilverStone Strider 700W 80+ Plus Bronze Single Rail 54A Modular
Case: Cooler Master Silencio 352



Had initially bought it for some simulation, virtualisation and GPU work, then got a better option in terms of my work machines, hence gave my other 16 GB to a friend as I had no use for them.
And now, I use it solely for Blizzard's games except for Overwatch as it does not appeal to me.

Nope, I put most ppl in that shithole on igno thats why I stopped reading the thread.

Just like I put you on igno and reported you.

Stalking and harrassing people and pick fights with them in other threads is not only pathetic but also against forum rules.

[Darsithis]

Let's cool it, guys. Keep it civil and on-topic.

[DeltrusDisc]

@Karon, so I have got to ask. I've always liked your rig and I always hate seeing negativity take over in these forums, and I hope things will go back to how they used to be soon.

Anyways, I wanted to know what games you're actively playing that will use 1080 Ti SLI? What monitor are you using? TTL's 1080 Ti SLI video definitely makes me hesitant about SLI, at least right now. Hopefully as drivers mature the performance in games will be more similar to 3DMark, across the board.

I can agree on that =)

I play the games that I play with mouse and keyboard on a ultra wide monitor at 2560x1080 for which it would be a total waste but the games I play with controller I play on an 4k TV (Nier being the most recent one)
Nier puts both cards on 100% load with a customized BF1 Sli profile but since the game is locked at 60 FPS (and the limit remover doesn't work for me) I can't tell how well it scales =/

I wouldn't hold my breath for high overclocks tho. I put a 150mhz OC on them and they reach the 120% power limit and throttle hard. I think 1990mhz was the highest Ive got them (even tho I suspect that there is a driver issue going on on my pc, on the first few days the cards reached 1911mhz with gpu boost with the powerimit raised but no other OC, after a few days they dropped by ~60 MHz)

Turned out my new mobo had 7 bent cpu pins, I was pretty pissed and not looking forward to RMA. Ended up trying to straighten them all out with a pair of tweezers.
Threw in the chip, screwed everything in, was 99% sure nothing would work....lo' and behold it booted straight into windows. Guess I'm keeping the mobo for now :P

Upgrades:

CPU: i5 2500k @ 4.7ghz > i7 7700k (yet to OC)
RAM: Mushkin 8gb DDR3 @ 1600mhz CL16 > GSkill 16gb DDR4 @ 3200mhz CL14
Mobo: Asus Sabertooth P67 > Asus Strix Z270F
GPU: Asus GTX 780 DCII > Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti Aorus (yet to OC)
SSD: Samsung 830 128gb > Samsung 960 EVO 500gb NVMe
OS: Win 7 > Win 10 Pro

Existing stuff...
Cooler: Noctua D15
PSU: Seasonic X-760w
Case: Fractal Design R5
Monitor 1: BenQ XL2730Z (1440p 144hz)
Monitor 2: Philips something 1080p
Mouse: Logitech G400S
Keyboard: CM Storm Quickfire XT (brown switches)




(yes I installed the damn tower upside down...can't be bothered flipping it now, I did a really good job with the paste and I'm not re-doing that :P)

Wait it's upside down?

Also, my faculty advisor for my college computer club has done that with many motherboards and they all work just fine.

Awesome setup now dude!

Yeah you can use paste over and over again without reapplying it, it is just not best practice is all. I think my comp at work had the heat sink off 3-4 times (in quick succession) about 4 years ago. I have no odd temps even today, as good as it has ever been and it is now nearly a 10 year old comp lol. Only thing you need to look out for is drying it out.

That's not what he was referring to and honestly that's a terrible idea.

Pretty sure he's referring to the bent pins comment though.

No I meant the bent pins.

People should actually replace the heatsink paste every couple years or so, from what I've read. It's made a difference for me before.

Probably depends a lot on the paste too but moving on.

That will learn me to skim read

Yeah, I am sure lower quality has a shorter lifespan and vice versa.

Started this build as a budget PC to replace my laptop that I only used for basic tasks and watching Twitch, WatchESPN, etc. I bought this APU for the pure value in the R7 integrated graphics and computing power for about $105 at the time from Newegg... but I began dabbling in a few games with friends and I convinced myself that if I JUST got the 1050ti, that'd settle my want to upgrade with the conscious decision to be on a budget.

This is far from my first build and I originally just wanted a small footprint PC for my desk, wifi, silent, capable enough to dabble in smaller games like Diablo... but then the itch hit me as I was building it, I wanted new RGB fans to go with the EVGA RGB cooler, then I ordered the Asus Strix 1050Ti and some custom power cables to tie the RGB theme together. It is still compact, and silent, but it runs Overwatch and Diablo on High/Ultra just fine

Tiny case was a bit of a struggle for cable management and whatnot, but after removing all of the excess hardrive trays, it ended up looking okay I think
