What have you done to your PC today?

those are some sweet sweet builds but personally I like spit051261's build. its got the best airflow and personally looks the best although if he had some space to mount those rads that be a lot cleaner

 

Got a little done today. Flushed system and started fitting it up.

 

That thing's freakish looking. I mean in a cool way. I hardly even recognise it as a computer.

 

Reservoir and tubing to go after dinner/tomorrow

 

Just ordered a 1tb NVME ssd to upgrade the 500Gb sata, should be a nice jump and a new 200mm fan to finish the gengar build.

 

One of my fan bearings on my MSI 980ti died last night. have order an replacement, but in the meantime I salvaged the fans of an old MSI 270x. straight swap thermals a few c higher but workable.

 

Time for an upgrade on that gpu anyways? ; )

 

Overclocked an R9 270X and 2500k i've been playing around with. Who knew the R9 270X can still do 2k gaming so well for such an old card (it's a 4Gb version).

Plays Crysis 3 and GTA V on decent FPS while looking amazing. Super impressed.

Although, it's not the best clocker, didn't get the 1200 clock and 1500 memory I was hoping for

 

Hardly done any OC with Amd/ Ati. Have the smaller HD7950 plugged in here and itching to get some scores
Soon my precious

 

Me neither. I didn't bother trying too much on my R9 290X as it's hot as HELLLLLLLLLLL.

It warms the CPU up lol

 

Added some aliexpress barrow QDC's. Tube runs are a little messy but i wanted to just get them all in to make sure they didn't leak, plus they are easily replaceable now i guess



I was originally going to run a pair off the side rad rather than the cpu but they require a decent grip to connect/disconnect so not enough space beside the top rad to get my fingers around. Ran a very quick stress test and no difference in temps - dual d5 probably helps a bunch.

 

Nice. Needs more fans

Good setup though.

 

Ordered :
3x dell 27 monitor s2721ds 1440 P $310x3
GIGABYTE B550I AORUS PRO AX MITX board $280
32GB DDR4 2x16 3200 cl16ram $150
1Tb NVME kingston A2000 $149
This is going to go into my Ncase M1 r2 silver.

Im all ready for Ryzen 4000.


For the nas:
4 x 14tb elements (I don't even want to say how much that cost). 42TB in raid5.
Node 304
The 4790k +z97Iplusfrom my ncase will go into this

 

You're not worried about R5 on disks that big? https://www.actualtechmedia.com/io/raid-disk-rebuild-times/

 

I do and I did.

A few points changed my mind

• It will probably take between 24-48 hrs to rebuild. While annoying, that is not an impossible wait for a home server. I won't have a disk ready to go, so it will take a day to week to buy a replacement. The rebuild itself isn't a huge issue in terms of solving problems.
• During that time the data is still accessible, and you should probably look at getting really important stuff off, and of course, you have backups right?!
• Depending on how old the server is, you might just decommission it before the other drives fail. Sure 1-2 years old, replace the disk. 5 years old, maybe if the disks are cheap enough. 10 years old, that whole thing is probably going to recycling, disks and.
• Mirroring 14tb on another 14tb drive wastes a lot of space. RAID1 gives me 24tb. RAID5 gives me 42TB. I almost double my storage with raid 5 (well 50%, but it feels more when we are talking big disks). This is also the argument I followed when people explained how pointless and wasteful 2 bay nas's were, particularly with large disks.

So there we are.
I also don't have a computer with ~46 Gb of ram as a freenas server. But Im told it shouldn't be a huge issue for a single person NAS.
