Look at my shitty attempt at my first self built gaming pc. I suck at this lol.

Good job anon, proud of you, looks nice.
Thanks
I’m going to invest in a 240mm aio later
I have that exact NZXT case. Love it.
>aio cooler
>rtx card
Yep, you're a tard.
>Nzxt case
>120 mm aio
Other than those, it's fine.
unironically mirin that 120x38mm fan
not bad but yeah would of went with a air cooler personally.
would HAVE GONE, retard
The aio was free, i had a hyper 212 evo and it was not cooling the i9 13900k well enough. This is fine as long as I don’t oc the cpu. Hits 6.1ghz for the rated 10 mins until the timer hits. I can run it longer by going into the bios and setting it higher but i don’t notice any frame drops at 5.4ghz. Also also it looks way nicer hiding the motherboard looking cramped.
I wish the tape will hold. It keeps coming down. I might try hot glue.

Yikes.... 4/10, learn from your mistakes, zoomer.
Says the amd user
Zoomers expose themselves daily, it's hilarious. The only thing wrong with that build is trusting a PowerColor card anywhere near your PC.
Nice, where is the AIO from? Looks like an alienware logo on it. Top fan looks like a piece of shit though.
2004 called, it wants its PSU mounting and housefire CPUs back.
I found a dead alienware on the side of the road and it’s fit onto the i9 13900k perfectly. I can’t overclock but it stays around 65 when playing muh bibeo gaymz.
based hardware scavenger. ignore 4cucks opinion of your build, it's automatically better than anything they got.
Nice. I was surprised it fit, it was an i7 6700. It was toast. I kept the cpu, put it on a motherboard and no post. The motherboard was warped. But the 6tb hard drive worked too, it’s in the basement of the case.
It’s expensive stuff but made shitty. It was a bad decision. I’m going to replace it with floating floors after i fix my roof.
Even if it didn't there's bracket kits that exist. Modern PC hardware is really easy to slap together with no trade skills required. Just takes someone with some fucking will, motivation, and average+ IQ
Exactly as I thought. That's based.
>vinyl floor
Ameripoors...
every piece of hardware I have is scavenged except for my iPhone lol
I like that your card says "Dick"
They don’t call them gaymd users for nothing amirite 😉
it says QICK. I don't get how so many retards see it as DICK.
>ignores the LGA1155 board it's connected to
>you're one to talk when you have case with 3.5 HDD mounts
Only 4, but that's enough for a desktop. Besides, the Torrent has two.
>and a cdrom like it's fucking 2002
Yes, 5.25" bays are based.
>And that IED-tier thermaltake psu?
Ran a 295X2 once.
>Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, fella.
It's just worked for over 5 years.
>2004 called, it wants its PSU mounting and housefire CPUs back.
Heh, you're one to talk when you have case with 3.5 HDD mounts and a cdrom like it's fucking 2002. And that IED-tier thermaltake psu? Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, fella.
>The only thing wrong with that build is trusting a PowerColor card anywhere near your PC.
3 months of use and not a single problem here my man.
2004 called about a psu?
My psu is from 2004
Now that's fucking beautiful. Pure SOVL.
What's the thermometer on the GPU for?
It’s a pixelview PDFII FX5900 XT, it’s a temperature and fan speed readout.
It does show a valid temperature, the pc was mid post in the first pic because I wanted the ram to be fully illuminated, so it didn’t read a temp yet
Fellow Torrent Compact enjoyer. 10/10
>dat cable management, specially the gpu
Not sure why you'd want to highlight that cable management with a bright light.
why is it already so dusty
Not bad OP maybe think about changing to air cooling and see if you can get a better cable management, other than that well done
looks good fren. At least your pump is nice and low. I suggest a shorter led strip hidden instead of that long thing.
I was thinking of getting 2 short hard lights instead of the soft light and drilling holes and using zip ties
You have more wasted space than utilized space.
Compact cases have bad air flow
don't put yourself down fren, any working build is a good build. when it breaks, fix it and build it again. we've all been there
Did you rush your build? There’s so much cable management built into that case it’s comfy
>asrock
Man you’re brave
120 AIOs are useless. Is the top fan even serving any function in this setup other than stealing airflow from the dinky ass rad?
>pc on the floor
Anon let me ask you a question, would you sleep on the floor while a moron slept in your bed with your girlfriend/wife?
Same energy bruh. Get it up on your desk where it belongs.
I never understood the issue with keeping your PC on the floor. Other than aesthetic reasons. Like sure if you get a thick carpet, maybe don't put it down there. Maybe there's an increased chance of spilled liquids finding their way on top of the PC?
I'm sure the residents of Ganker have a very good reason other than "muh looks".
Hi op, your first time doing anything is a learning experience!
Ventilation mostly.
>Ventilation mostly.
any other make believe fantasy facts you have to share?
What, you think there's no air for the fans to blow at floor level?
>ventilation
So don't put it on the floor with a half inch gap for ventilation, put it on your desk with a half inch gap for ventilation. Am I missing something here? I have a hardwood floor, what difference is there from my desk? Like I said before, if you got a thick ass carpet I get it, but you can just get a board and chuck it on that.
Looks like ops pc is on hardwood so it’s a nonissue
It is. Well vinyl floor. I have animals do carpet is harder to keep clean.
> i suck at this
> apple filename
not really surprising anyone here.
> put a tower on a desk
> where it belongs
zoomer retards need to shut their fucking mouths. what a dumb cunt.
Almost the same build here, wise choice for a case, just hide the cables in the corners.
Yeah I’m going to find an internal front usb header to power the lights and run the usb through the back and hide it. Going to scavenge it from another case. The lights are usb controlled led. I’m going to ditch the extra led fan and keep the white aesthetic. I don’t like the extra colors. Feels too much. I’m not seeing extra cooling from the extra fan and is bringing dust into the pc defeating the dust filters.
pro-tip: with a solid metal side panel one can easily live blissfully unaware
You put something together yourself and that's cool 🙂 good job anon, tinkering is fun and I hope you enjoyed the process!
I’ve always just bought prebuilts, added a gpu, installed vanilla windows etc. I’m not sure what’s more work but I’m more aware of what’s inside the pc. I went with a motherboard without wifi because wifi 7 is right around the corner and had wifi 6e hw already, just bought one of those adapter cards from amazon.
Inb4 “just use wired lan”
One more long ass cable to run from the bedroom all the way out. No thanks.
wifi is fine if you don't play multiplayer games, or simply don't care about occasional ping spikes.
Not op, just throwing my 2 cents in
I play wow occasionally and i haven’t had WiFi issues since WiFi g was a thing. This isn’t 2009 anymore. WiFi 6e is better than most lan. If you’re seeing ping spikes, change your wifi channel in the router. I see around 8gigabits/s. Faster than 2.5gigabit lan actually. Wired isn’t automatically better anymore with the spike in phone sales etc.
Speeds have nothing to do with latency past a certain bandwidth (idk, probably faster than old DSL). WoW isn't a twitch shooter where 40ms deviations can destroy your experience either. Yeah, wifi is usable and can be fine for most people, but not everyone.
Wifi 7 will fix that. With a 16/16 mimo it’ll be on par with lan if not better.
Heard the same thing about wifi 6. It won't matter either way to someone playing WoW. If it works for you then that's cool, man.
For the most part it did. If you’re running 1gigabit lan or lower, you would benefit greatly from WiFi 6e. It’s faster with less latency.
it's okay for a 1st zoomer attempt but I'd definitely change that LED strip giving it a hospital lighting look
it's fine, provided you have a sane CPU in there for a 120mm AIO
>120 mm aio
that's the only problem with your build, seems aight
After i fix my roof, I’m going to get a 240 aio.
Looks pretty good for a first attempt. My first PC had a shitty cheap case with no room for cable management, so I just had a huge blob of cable tied cables dangling behind the HDD caddys - hideous and awful for airflow.
See if you can re-run some of your cables behind the motherboard tray, you may need extenders to make that possible. That case has decent cable management space so you shouldn't have any issues.
this is how a build should look
Why is your RAM in single channel?
because this was first gen ddr4 and I only bought one stick of 8gb then 🙁
Pic is 7 years old now, I upgraded to dual channel ram but never bothered to take a new picture
Real boomer hours.
Clean this up a bit, like windex and a towel clean it up
Manage your cables better, your primarily fault here is what cutouts you’re using for what cables, your pcie cable should be coming up from the psu basement.
Whatever you’re doing with the led strips here, hide it better or get rid of it.
If you want the quick and dirty solution to making this look nicer, just get some psu cable extensions.
Not bad, people here sperging about AIO are poorfags mines been running for 4 years. also rtx is based
