Did you steal my build list? Half of those parts showed up on my doorstep this evening!
[–]TheMensChef[S] 12 points13 points14 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You're a man of good taste clearly. Everything here worked flawlessly.

Beautiful. What kind of games are you planning to play?
[–]TheMensChef[S] 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Been playing Escape from tarkov tonight, although probably a lot of Rust too.

Have you seen Kingdom Come: Deliverance? I think it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played
[–]horonlapsi0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Nice build but cable managment aint that good
[–]TheMensChef[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Doesn't bother me really, I did change it up a little today

She looks gorgeous mate.. I'm jealous RN
[–]stent002 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
what? no RGB bling? nice build
Yup, on purpose, just the lights on the card. I was thinking of getting some led light strips and having them white just to light up inside the case.

That looks awfully similar to mine. Well done! I love fractal design cases.
[–]TheMensChef[S] 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's a be quiet pure base 500, but I know what you mean I looked at fractal deaign too, almost went meshify

Let play some Witcher!!
[–]Valor_X1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nice I love pc builds
[–]altair431 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Nice bro! Mine will be nearly completed once I get a good 5600XT
Good choice, AMDs new cards are really good. Simple driver update and I was up and running.
[–]E-roticWarrior1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
cable management not bad at all. What games do you play?
I neatened it up a bit today too, I wasn't to bothered by it

[–]idkhehexd34200 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Just a question. Why not liquid cooled? Asking cause I want to build my own pc soon
[–]Malycray0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
AMD cpus ship with decent air coolers. And liquid aio can be an additional cost ~100$
[–]Teflon081910 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The bigger air coolers can be just as effective as even the best AIO systems. The Noctua NH-D15 air cooler for example provides similar cooling to a 360mm radiator AIO system, plus it's quieter and has fewer failure points. Air cooler fan dies? 20 dollar 5 minute fix. AIO water pump dies? You're buying and installing a new AIO and maybe a new CPU depending on how long it was relying exclusively on that little water block's ability to passively cool it.
If you ask me, the only real benefit of AIO systems is the nicer aesthetics that go with not having a giant tower cooler over the CPU. They're higher maintenance, more expensive and more can go wrong with them.
[–]Hysterikool_0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Honestly unless sound is a big deal breaker air cooling still performs decently and can be more reliable than an aio, custom loops are a different story however.
[–]khaineisthar0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
AMD Ryzen have lower TDP now, you dont need a large noisy fan anymore.
I used my fx-8650 pc as leg warmer in winter, it is good only for wet winter, and your room with almost no insulation, though.
I went air cooling for reliability I guess. Not that water cooling isn't. I'm using a noctua u12s chromax air cooler and all noctua chromax case fans. It is very quiet on my desk and is running around 30C when I updated bios. Not loud by any means.

[–]LordHeadassV10 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nice
[–]ReverendCatch0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
cool beans. I'm an AMD guy myself. Replacing my custom loop with a new custom loop at tax time.
Need a new case tho. anyway. nice build. it is a lot of performance and not too bad on the wallet.

[–]Dorinus20 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Specs?
[–]Dorinus20 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Btw the cooler looks small to me but then again i have the DARK ROCK PRO 3
[–]TheMensChef[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Lol, yeah it's a Noctua u12s, basically the smallest air cooler they have that is vertical, I'm only running a ryzen 5 3600, getting about 30C, I'm happy with it
[–]Dorinus21 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Probably becausd i am into building MAD pcs and don't like water cooling because it has more points of failure and the obvious hazard of water dripping on the GPU so a big ass air cooler is the way to go
[–]Strider291-1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Watch that wire management man. The wire looping around the front outside can probably be tucked under and behind, and same with the ones bottom right.
With the static cpu fan you really have to watch that shit because if the wires deviate and fuck the fan up, your cpu burns out.
Looks dope otherwise though, love the look of the card
Wires are secure I made sure
[–]lastminutedash0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nah the CPU won't burn out if the fan stops working, but it'll get toasty for sure. You'll see it thermally throttling to oblivion and back.
