Description

It's my home grown, redneck engineered gaming rig. i use it primarily for Rainbow 6:Siege, and streaming of that game. CPU is overclocked to 4.0GHz. The biggest problem i ran into was when i had my PSU fan go out, and i had to open it up, ghetto rig a case fan in there and get it working, which has caused me to have to have my case oriented upside down. But, the power supply still works, so i'm not gonna spend the extra money to replace it. Cable management also kind of sucks, but oh well. Also using a cheap generic 900i monitor as my primary monitor, and a dell workstation monitor as my secondary display

This is the best rig I've seen. Holy moley. I can't upvote this enough. I love it because it is 100% unapologetic and mean. Kudos man. I'll be toasting your build with Jim Beam later tonight.

This might be the dustiest and ugliest rig I've seen in a long while - and for that reason I * love it! Looks like yours has been through some wars. In a way, builds like this are a testament to how obsessive and petty PC 'enthusiast' builders really are. The ones who wake up worrying about positive and negative air pressures, orientations of fans and the CPU coolers, thermal paste application, cable management, video cards sagging, push/pull configs on radiators, whether or not a PSU intake should be top or bottom mounted, whether or not the case comes with flashing disco ball lights in it, and gasps if the case doesn't have sound dampening and rubber mounts everywhere because God forbid someone actually be able to hear fans spinning!

Sure, your temps won't be ideal and the longevity of the rig may be shortened a bit without maintenance, but who cares? The point is it gets the job done so keep using it 'til you run that baby into the ground. Guarantee in everyday, real-world usage nobody would be able to tell the difference between yours and one that has the same specs all dressed up pretty in an 'optimal' environment. There's no need to treat a computer like it's a precious piece of glass that'll shatter if you look at it the wrong way. Modern hardware is far more durable than people realize. Also cool to see you've still got the old trust AMD FX going strong.

Cheers!

Just so everyone knows: this build looks like ****, is dusty as ****, and may not be up to a lot of enthusiast standards, but I am a electrical engineer: I’ve tuned my parts individually so my entire PC runs like Barry Allen on meth. It’s fast, not pretty

I like it. It's different. It's got the "I work and I don't care what anybody thinks of me" attitude. Function over form.

Also for your PSU, have you checked the warranty? Some of those EVGA power supplies can have warranties up to 10 years.

i think its time to get a new cpu, ur getting 1060 performance out of that 1080ti

i was getting 1070 performance out of my 960 with this exact same setup bro. and i know because i tested multiple different cards in this exact rig. i'm getting the full performance out of my 1080 and the rest of my components

While I applaud the build, there's no way you aren't losing between 10-50 fps depending on game. You are bottlenecking the card.

I actually maintain insane frame rates with this cpu. I’ve got it overclocked and overvolted so it’s performing amazingly well

  • 11 months ago

No doubt you get results your happy with. All I’m saying is that you’re leaving some performance in the table. Similar to my phenom II build with an r9 card. Works way better than my old hd 6800 card but still below potential. When you upgrade platforms to ryzen you’ll realize it. Nonetheless, it’s good to see old parts still kicking and I’m glad it’s doing what you need/want. Cheers!

you made a valid point, dude: yeah, there's still probably some performance of the card left on the table, and once i upgrade to AM4 socket, i'll see so much difference there, i do agree. but the question for me is do i want to go out and spend money on a new R5/R7/Threadripper, or do i want to wait a few months for the new R3000 series chips to come out and have all the intital bugs and kinks worked out?

Naah, but I also had super old CPU paired with a GPU from a different era, I think it was Phenom X4 (first phenom, not phenom II) with GTX 550ti. Aaaand it also had some cheapo silvery case. And dust.

before my brother in law gave me this 1080ti, i had my gtx 960 in this same setup, and i was managing to play battlefield 5 at ultra setting between 62-70 frames a second (i have a video up on youtube showing it and i can provide the link if you call BS), and it ran mass effect andromeda on high at about 70 fps

I understand this build looks as much a **** show as the entire Ugandan Knuckles VS Perfect Cell dbz abridged parody arc on YouTube, but like ColdConduct said: who cares? Guarantee you that you put your enthusiast build against my home brew in gaming, and I guarantee you that you won’t be able to tell a difference where humans can actually physically see a difference

This is hilarious. This looks similar to my current setup in that, I have the right panel of the case removed (because I kept having fan issues), same keyboard, same wiring, same fan, same RAM, similar SSD (which BTW - is yours "free-floating" inside the case somewhere like mine?). All this setup needs is add a little 50 ml empty sampler of bourbon on the desk.

In all seriousness though, from one PC brother to the next - a little care and cleaning will help your rig last longer. I learned the hard way... my 4-year old CPU overheated and I suspect a lot of that is from neglect (ignored fan issues, airflow and dust).

Anyways, I love how real this setup is. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely brother, it's no problem! i got a bottle of detox for a piss test for a new job on my desk lmao. nah, i got my ssd mounted in one of the hard drive bays, surprisingly. i actually just completely stripped the thing apart a few weeks ago, took everything apart, cleaned it all, put new thermal paste where thermal paste was needed, and thoroughly cleaned fans and everything. but my roommates smoke cigarettes so my **** gets dusty quick lol

no offense but your part choices were very poor. you got a very old and underperforming cpu for an insanely high price. same with the case. you are pairing an extremely strong gpu with a potato cpu and anyways your potato monitor bottlenecks it. with a 1080 ti you want a 1440p 144hz or a 4k monitor

edit: oh lmao it was gifted, sorry i misunderstood since it was listed as money. still the cpu mobo and ram choice were extremely poor and you could have got ryzen

I don’t disagree with you, but most of this was bought to get a budget build for gaming going. I was broke lol and this was my first build. I’m in the process of getting a threadripper rig built

I was gonna upvoted it because of its price to performance, clean cable management, and only 2 pictures but then i saw that you had no RGB.

Now explain to me how you think anyone is gonna tolerate such a tasteless system with no RGB!
