    Here's a picture of the X99 system I got a few days ago. Although a little bit late to post a picture, I had to delay it until I made sure it's 100% stable with the current 4.2ghz overclock. It's an absolute beast of a system and I'm very happy with my purchase.

    I'll get right on posting the X99 stuff I'm doing... once I can figure out how the holy hell to get the graphics cards in. The Sabertooth X99 is nice, but its plastic cover makes it cumbersome in the S340...

    When I built my Sabertooth system I only had a fairly weak magnetic screwdriver which meant that it took ages to get the motherboard screwed on to the backplate.

    It looks nice but geez does it look so hindering. Imagine taking out a large video card from that thing...

    Well, I have two 290X cards trying to fit in. The problem is, I also mean to fit the pump between them and the radiator in the front. Now the big problem? Look at the back of the S340.

    The PCI slots turn 90 degrees at the end right? The tabs where you screw them in. They need to fit into an opening. And simultaneously now, with the Sabertooth, it turns out the other end have to find its place. This combination seems impossible... Either the tabs miss the narrow gap they have to fit in, and/or the other end of the PCI slot have to get past the extended shroud of the Sabertooth...

    How low/loud do the PWM fans usually get?
    2000 RPM moves a lot of air with Noctua fans and should be fairly loud, so guessing they're not at highest capacity. :P

    Those look like Audioengine P4's, but not quite. What are they?

    Appears to be active speakers.
    Off-centre highlight on the tweeter makes me think it's the A5+.

    Googling those, I think you're right. I use the passive P4's for my home theater. The knob and light give away that they're probably P5+'s.

    How is the sound from the P5+? How's the bass? Do you play the Witcher 3? if so, how is the sound volume? I've had issues with it being super damn quiet.

  15. #14775
    Yup, Audioengine A5+'s. I pair them with an S8 subwoofer. Witcher 3 sounds great to me with the combo and the bass is great.

    Fans are quiet as they are all PWM. It only get loud if I'm stress testing or running a benchmark CPU driven.

    may as well throw this in to rebump this thread...

    people challenged me when I posted my X99 and 980 Ti's to get bigger monitors...

    well...



    challenge accepted, or something. I figured...hey, I just spent a ton of money on fancy video cards...may as well tank their FPS with 7680x1440...

    Yeah it's going to be a bit of a roulette game once I get them open, but if they're all solid, they should be amazing. Buddy has had one for a while and it's fucking beautiful.

    edit: he's right too, these are fuckin amazing lol
