My next pc upgrade

[DuTch_ReacTionZ]

Hey guys, 

 

I currently have my gaming rig set up and im thinking about upgrading. The rig will be used for gaming and for the adobe creative suit progammes. These are the current specs of the rig:

 

Motherboard: Asus Maximus V Formula

CPU: Intel i7 3770k

GPU: Asus GTX680 Direct CU II Top

RAM: Corsair Dominator 16Gb 1600 mHz 2x8 

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100 with gentle typhoons push-pull

Power Supply: OCZ Fatal1ty 1000w

Boots SSD: Samsung 830 Series 128Gb

Storage HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3Tb 7200RPM

Case: Cooler Master CM Storm Trooper

 

I'm thinking about upgrading my CPU to a Intel i7 3930k or adding a second GTX 680 to my rig. I thought I should ask what I should do. I'm personally tempted to upgrade the CPU because I want to fully watercool my rig soon including the motherboard and the RAM (It's useless I know but it looks awesome when put together with bitspower crystal link). If you guys think I should upgrade something else besides the CPU and GPU feel free to tell me :)

 

Greets,

Daniel

Try a different powersupply.  I suggest looking at something from the Corsair AX or HX series, or Silverstone Strider Gold Evolution series, or Seasonic...

If you get an i7 3930k you'll need a new motherboard because it uses a different socket.

Not really sure what you can do to upgrade your 680 unless you're planning on a 690 or two..  I think EVGA makes waterblocked 680 and/or 690 but I am not entirely sure.

Yeah the power supply isn't that good but I went for it because of the cheater sleeve ;p! Might switch that out soon.

I know I have to switch motherboards for that but I'm totally fine with that, im also getting another 16Gb kit if i'd switch.

By upgrading the GPU I ment double GTX680's in SLI :)

 

I am thinking about getting the AX1200i and sleeving it with MDPC sleeving :)

Oops I truncated a 4. The zfs thing is here

ZFS On Unraid? Herer's How (Bonus Shadowcopy Setup Guide)

[15712027333732386322906213952373] ZFS on Unraid You are in for an adventure let me tell you. ZFS on Linux is great, and finally mostly mature. It has great performance – very nearly at parity with FreeBSD (and therefor FreeNAS ) in most scenarios – and it’s the one true filesystem. Look, I like BTRFS too. And I did a lot of failure mode testing to go with these videos, but it held up surprisngly well so maybe those videos aren’t super interesting. But ZFS? ZFS is the FS. Unraid is not built to support ZFS. The last few weeks have been the first time I’ve used Unraid in some time and it has matured well. It seems to have a diverse and talented user base and the user base is adding a lot of features and flexibility to the system. Getting Started First: Backup your data. Things can go wrong and your data can get trashed. ZFS support on Unraid is not supported by Lime Tech or, well, anyone. It’s a life-in-your-own-hands scenario using the system off-script like this. I didn’t see a clean way to use only a ZFS pool either. You’ll need at least 1 or 2 other storage devices to create an “Unraid Array” so that the Plugins/Docker/VMs tab will work in Unraid (bummer). Here is the info for the ZFS on unraid plugin: Here is the github link: Plugins on unraid involve pasting links into unraid, so that’s neat. The plugin documentation has a handy hint about limiting the arc cache size which is great for mixed-use boxes. Otherwise the arc filesystem cache will happily use all your ram. Whether or not this is a bad thing is probably on the side of not really a bad thing if it uses all your ram as it will give up ram if the ram becomes short. There have been cases in the past where that mechanism was not good at sharing memory with other processes, but by and large you may not need that. Experiment, though, and report your results here for the benefit of everyone? Creating your zpool lsblk This will help you identify block devices on your system. I had sd[b-e] av…
