[strike]You know I've personally warned you for being rude in this very thread. I don't know if it's your intention or not but it's how you come across. This is the second and last warning from me. Be nice or don't post. If you don't know the difference err on the side of caution.[/strike]

From you I need a "yes I understand" and that will be the last thing said.

No I won't listen to you any other moderator like blackbird yes I will.

Yes but since we aren't children that's not how this works.

And you owe me a reasonable response to a PM so your current three day ban will be made permanent if you haven't done that by noon GMT+1 on Tuesday, May 23rd. Your childish behaviour is not acceptable in this Forum.

May


In the process of HDD cloning. The 1TB HDD outside of the build is my backup drive that i had to remove from the system for time being. Since, in my HDD cage, the middle 3.5" slot is occupied by my HUE+ controller.

No, the case is NZXT S340 Elite Matte Black with tempered glass side panel. You can tell the difference between it and regular S340 by the PSU shroud side mounted SSD location and cable management bar between MoBo and rad.

June
Bought CableMod SE-series full cable kit (Red) for my Skylake build and NZXT HUE+ for my Haswell build.

Since NZXT HUE+ came with 4x LED strips, i added 2 of them to my Skylake build. LEDs are way better in person than can be seen from images.

With this, the better part of my Skylake build is finished. There are still some small touches that i'm thinking to get, e.g aesthetically better matching speakers and RGB mouse. But those can wait since my Haswell build (wife's PC) needs an overhaul.
Here's also a pic about my Haswell build and how it currently stands (and why there's no point adding HUE+ to it at current date).

Excellent setups!!!!!!!!!

 

[g-unit1111]

Nice. I would love to do some modding on my rig, I just don't right now have the time and/or money to do it.

Got a slew of upgrades in the last month. Finally got fed up with the POS Dell split rail PSU in my old Alienware Aurora R1 which kept me from putting anything with more draw than an electric toothbrush in the system; so decided screw the MIO board and replaced the PSU with an EVGA B3 850W, replaced the H55? proprietary AW/Dell AIO with a new H60 AIO, and finally tossed in my spare STRIX 980Ti. System works amazingly well for gaming, often besting my i7 6700/GTX 1070 build. I was able to get ye olde i7 960 overclocked to 4.2Ghz from its 3.2Ghz stock clock/3.46Ghz turbo.

Next I got a STRIX 1080 from Asus as an RMA replacement for another 980Ti STRIX; which I placed in my 4770K rig:

Finally, I got my two 1080Ti STRIX cards to upgrade my main 5930K rig from 980Ti STRIX SLI:

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Nice upgrades.

 

[loki1944]

Nice upgrades.

If only any of that hardware could make a dent in ArmA 3, but alas, it sucks on everything.

But at least they pay off in pretty much everything else:

Also got a Sound Blaster 16 PCI for my Windows 98SE rig; finally not restricted to Star Trek: The Original Series computer sounds.

Way to hijack a topic. Outstanding.

On Arma 3 for me (i5 6600k, GTX 1060) at 1080p I get 60 fps on ultra on all but one map, Tanoa, which is beautifully lush, Even at 30-45 fps I love that map.

Try this; closer to reality for real life low intensity sized scenarios:

Got my SLI HB Bridge about a week ago; but wasn't too enthused with how it looked with my STRIX cards, plus it meant losing my PCIE card, I had been using a flex bridge temporarily because my Asus ROG 3 way SLI bridge wouldn't work with the thickness of the 1080Ti STRIX cards due to the middle connectors. So I took a pair of pliers to my Asus ROG 3-way SLI bridge and ripped out the middle connectors an all is well. Live and learn.

All i need now is a new HDD

A new case and a replacement CPU cooler might be nice but i don't really need them

 

[Arrbjorn]

Added Corsair H110i 280mm AIO cooler and Corsair RM650i 650watt PSU w/ custom sleeved extensions.

Also created a custom wallpaper for the build:

Nice black / red color scheme. I'm going with a black / white theme for my next upgrade. I'm still planning to upgrade my second rig to Ryzen and I'm debating what motherboard to go with. I think I'm going to get a R7-1700 and a Gigabyte Aorus motherboard to go in my NZXT H440. Then after that other long term upgrades will be a Samsung M2 drive and an eventual GPU upgrade.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Very nice upgrades , great looking builds.

 

[TwilightRavens]

Bought an i7 5775C to replace my i5 4690K, Why the broadwell you ask? I lost the silicon lotto bad on the 4690K (4.2GHz on 1.3v) and I wanted that 128MB of L4 Cache. Needless to say its night and day difference on fps in games if you can believe it.

 

[g-unit1111]

So I bought the Asrock Taichi yesterday. I need to wait for my mounting bracket to come for my D14 before I can pull the trigger on ordering the CPU (I'm going with the R7-1700). I might order the RAM at some point as well to fit with the black / white / blue theme I'm trying to achieve.
