Official Post your PC guts thread!

Step 1: misread instructions

Step 2: realise cooler will be facing the wrong way

Step 3: ???

Step 4: profit

Got a whole 50-100MHz extra with the better cooler. Now occasionally hitting 4.2GHz in GTA 5. I should really sit down and tune it properly, not OC really just manage voltages and see if it will self boost further.

Hi everyone new member here. I have 4 current Ryzen 3000 series systems as my main units and 2 older Intel systems I still keep around being of a i5 2500k system and a even older E6800 system.
I’m not a gamer at all but a computer enthusiast that mostly does photo & video work as a hobby.


Systems Left to Right are
R7 3700X, CPU Cooler Phanteks PH-TC14PE, Gigabyte X570 Pro WiFi, Gigabyte 1660 Super, Multiple Samsung NvMe and SSD, PS Seasonic 650 Gold, Case Phanteks P500A filled with Cougar 140mm fans.
System 2
R5 3600 cooled by a Reeven Hans 120mm, Gigabyte X570 Gaming X, Gigabyte 5500XT, Inland Premium 1TB NVMe, PS Phanteks AMP 650, Case Phanteks P400A filled with Cougar 140mm fans.
System 3
R5 3600 cooled by Noctua NH-U12S, Gigabyte B550 Pro AC, Gigabyte 1660, Inland Premium 1TB VVMe, PS Corsair RM650, Fractal Meshify C (soon to replaced with a Phanteks P300A) filled with Cougar 140mm fans.
System 4
R9 3900X cooled by a Gigabyte ATC800, Gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra, Gigabyte 5700, Multiple Mushkin NVMe & SSD’s, PS Seasonic 650 Gold, Lian Li Lancool 2 recently converted to the Lancool Mesh, filled with Cougar 140mm fans.
3 Monitors are 32" 4k (2 LG’s & 1 Samsung) and the other is a older 27" Asus 1080P.
Again I don’t game at all period and I refuse to use any Adobe products so I use Vegas Pro 17 for video editing and Capture One Pro for photo editing. That is the reason for the mixed Nvidia & AMD GPU’s, the AMD cards work great with both software platforms.

Forgive the awful cable management on the desk…

Rough specs:-
Ryzen 9 3950X
128GB Corsair Vengeance LPX (3200MHz)
Strix Vega 64 (waiting for 6900XT shortly after launch)

PCPartPicker Reference:- list/jf8Bj2

Build notes:
Though the Noctua A14 3000rpm fans keep the system at reasonable temperatures. They’re loud as hell!

Finally, the obligatory “BtW, I use…” XD

Arch!

Those aren’t the guts… Wanna see inside it, not the peripherals… :stuck_out_tongue: Also welcome to the forum. Run while you can. If you don’t - be prepared to be here in the next decade or so… Like Intel and 14nm…

Well… there it is. (Edited original post)

Side note: The case was an absolute nightmare to build in. That and the cooler only just fits (~1mm clearance either side of the fans)

Well what do you expect… It’s a modern Fractal case. Modern cases are mostly garbage. You know, if they go back to Arc Midi R2 and just improve that design a bit that would be the best case ever. But Nooooo, PSU shrouds and garbage stuff…

I was hoping that they would have put in a little more thought into the general layout. I can’t fault the overall build quality, especially when compared to the cobbled together cases of yesteryear. :+1:t2:

Is it a Define 7 Compact? I build a pc for a friend of mine in one of those. Hated it. Despite perfect cable management in the back, the rear panel would not stay closed. The pegs have 0 clamping force. And there aren’t any screws.

Have you guys seen the cock sucking reviews? They are like a AAA game getting 10/10 while players hate it… Now tell me how to trust reviews?

Sorry Pete, we don’t all follow the same video’s as you on PronHub…

It is and I was aware that the rear panel would be a squeeze. Especially with the amount of hardware I was planning to shoehorn into it. I’m already planning to move to a bigger case after the 6900XT is available.

Probably, but it has been a while since i did. I really only watch GNs case reviews.
What I learned, is that Lian Li is still the king of side panel pegs.

I have a Define R6, That’s a very good case. I routed all the power cables under the psu shroud, and up behind the front cover thingy.

I’d imagine the full size Define 7 would be similar, though I don’t know for sure.

I still claim this is fractalized NZXT H440 but it seems I’m the only one who sees the internals as being identical…

I remember the discussion. Let’s not go there again. I don’t think we’ll ever agree :slight_smile:

Been lurking for a long time, first time post. Here’s my workstation setup in progress. Lian Li build is running a Ryzen 3400G while I wait for a Ryzen 9 59xx and Radeon 6800/XT. Given current stock levels, I’ll probably be waiting a while. Both PC’s are running Manjaro Gnome Edition.
