Decided to get on board the 21:9 train and grabbed a Dell UltraSharp U3415W curved monitor. Should be here Friday from Amazon, now what to do with my Asus 1440p monitor lol, guess I could wall mount it and use it as a secondary.

[DeltrusDisc]

Yeah I'd wall, though I am sure you'll be straining your neck.

Frankly, the curved is pretty much just perfect enough. :P

I wall mounted one of my previous monitors and am truly glad I did. 21:9 is very nice and all but I still end up wanting to full-screen something on that monitor and yet pin MORE stuff somewhere else. No neck strain so far

I want to do something like this but two problems:

1) Parents would kill me for defacing the wall. :P
2) I'm like 5 feet away from the wall. XD

Probably my best bet for something like this is finally getting an L desk.. which I've been considering. ;o

So got some upgrades, let me show them off.

First off got a new CPU cooler as I needed it for this build, my H105 got really noisy on the pump, vibrated like mad and just returned it for a full refund, amazon is awesome for this.







Cryorig H5, wanted the ultimate as it came with a standard thicker fan but could not find that sold anywhere in the UK.

But the cooler it self looks awesome and the thin profile fan so far isn't noisy, lot better then a lot other fans especially corsair however Noctua is still better granted they do not have a thin profile fan to compare it to.

The new board it self,



MSI X99 A SLI plus



With the god ugly ram which is a generic crucial ram that I think deltrus is using, 8 gb so far, gonna get another 8gb and get custom heat spreaders and paint them white when I get the chance. Also shows off the mounting kit which if I'm honest is largely ripping off noctua here but thats not a bad thing as it was quite easy and mounting kits for the X99 platform is nothing short of amazing, easiest so far of anything I have installed so far.

Also the chip right there is the intel 5820 K which I am still in the processing of getting the most efficient overclocks.



Heat sink hides away the ugly ram and yes that is a nocua fan at the back, I wanted to still use it and not put it to waste :P, also a reminder that noctua is always on top.



Fitted in, quite happy this time round, made it a bit cleaner this time internally otherwise other parts were as last time.

Looks awesome! And you are right to a degree, I just have 2x8GB sticks. But yeah, frankly, going for the DDR4 with heat spreaders and higher clocks just ups the price BY MILES. It's stupid! You can get 2x8GB of this awesome RAM now for only $110 on Amazon! O_O I remember paying that much for 2x4GB DDR3 1333MHz only 4 years ago. -.-

I really like the cooler though! Super sleek, like, damn. Will be interested to see you post in the CPU Overclocking thread and to see what you get and your temperatures! It's a great CPU for the price, that's for sure.

Welp, finally just ordered 2x8GB more DDR4 so as to give you guys a better chance to see inside my computer. It arrives Monday!

[JR88]

back to the 920/r2gene...think the 8320/killer board got dogged out or something xD running awful....

Cheers ^^, ye the very same type of ram I have bought too, just less capacity which I am looking to get another set of 8 GB end of month but I am looking into aftermarket heatspreaders or ask a metal pressing company to make a basic one which is what I am after more and just paint it white.

Those 'gaming' type ram are just insane on prices however with the overclocking, sticking with a basic 3.8 on all 6 cores, did a 4 ghz prime test and it did not like that so will see what went wrong there and see what I can do, I have seen people do decent clocks before but I do not want to have a static voltage running through, want the stepping up and down volts for idle consumption.

I will most likely do a proper overclock with stress testing with asus real bench which I hear is good/free once I get the new ram and then tune the ram to see if I can slightly overclock those as well.

And ye, those ram in the UK that I bought are slightly less then DDR 3 2x4GB kits as well..... I paid more for my DDR3 2x4 GB kit then this DDR 4 2x4 GB kit.

Overall happy so far, rendering has seen a huge reduction on time and seems ingame recordings is a bit smoother on performance, I seem to be hitting a GPU + HDD bottleneck now which I aim to sort the HDD by getting a raid 0 config in the near future.

Looking forward to seeing the build ^^.

if anyone is interested

[DeltrusDisc]

Holy shit.


​I'll be interested in more pictures but this looks great so far!

[Raintola]

God I miss my desktop computer...

Ft Sam? :O

[Gorehowl]

Holy shit.

glad you like it

just fine tuning things really right now. Getting cables lined up perfectly and polishing the stainless steel tubing so there arent any fingerprints etc. After that its time to play with the lighting in the photo area a bit more and hopefully i can get some good pics out.

[tielknight]

Finally got around to cleaning things up after re-arranging the whole room and putting in the new PSU & HDD so figured I would get some new pics.

Case with the lovely dust-catching mesh


Guts


And the desk minus all the packing/shipping crap that got put on a new shelf

Unless you can remove that mesh you will hate it.

Decent setups, that keyboard is from corsair?

[Xuvial]

Old Corsair SP2500 speakers died, it was a sad day...but I finally decided to get Mackie CR4's to replace them.



Bass isn't as amazing (obviously) due to lacking that gigantic sub, but everything else is quite nice

[tielknight]

Unless you can remove that mesh you will hate it.

I just wipe it off with a towel like twice a month and it stays pretty clean until I go through and spray-dust everything to get most of the dust out.

Mine? It's a Raptor K30 so yes

[DeltrusDisc]

Studio monitors are duh best.

Subs are meh. :P

Studio monitors with a sub though. I love my Audioengine A5's with the S8 sub combo. Studio monitors are awesome though. So much better than having to wear headphones. I find myself only wearing my headphones when I'm playing games that need the directional audio like shooters.
