Re: Post your rig

I haven't posted here in a while.. but here's what my rig currently looks like.

The gpu is getting a bit long in the tooth (gtx 980), but i'm just waiting for either vega or volta. Then i'll put it under water as well. This is still a work in progress i've got to sort out the cables, and i'm changing the lightning for something better than just white light on 1 brightness level.

Mate you did the customization / custom liquid cooling or the Desktop is pre-assembled. If I need a desktop customized can you handle that stuff with fees sure. I have a well customized desktop with very proper cable management , NZXT Hue + Lighting , etc.. But I am thinking to get to a higher level when I upgrade to a newer CPU /Motherboard. I have a white theme on mind this time , but I need a strong customization person not a " shop" since me as hardware enthusiast he understands what I need exactly.

Hey, yeah i build it myself. Would've liked to help but i live overseas! i'm guessing it would be a challenge to get that sort of hardware in leb. I'm currently in the UK and even then i had to get some stuff from germany and the US.

My Rig (Edited)

Currently I am testing some testing some HDR gaming on a 55 inch 2106p TV.  Curent monitor to be Replaced in the soon future with an Asus Swift PG 35 VQ.

HDR 10 Games I Tested:

BF 1 (Recent Patch they included HDR 10 Metadata)
Shadow Warrior 2
Hitman
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Resident Evil 7

They look absolutely nice when HDR 10 is enabled , native 2160p Very High Setting - Ultra , locked 60fps.

Re: Post your rig

So if someone wants to buy parts that aren't much recognized in Lebanon such as here
https://youtu.be/xV3hasqRDoU
Where would be an equivalent (to some extent) store in Beirut where you could find different parts with good prices.

I live in Dubai and still many parts are not available here. Luckily, Newegg started supporting UAE. Their prices were even cheaper including shipping (they ship from the USA).

Most components can be purchased online now and they come right to my door step. See if you can use Aramex Shop and Ship.

PCandparts, macrotronics and microcity all have these cases.

The cooler master mastercases are a bit expensive though, not because sold in lebanon, expensive from coolermaster I mean.

Re: Post your rig

any idea when the gen8 intel cpus will be available in lebanon? only thing keeping me from building the pc is the cpu.

also, which pc parts store have the cheapest prices in general?  already know about pcandparts/macrotronics/microcity

Re: Post your rig

Just curious about my CPU benchmarking
I've reached  14031 with a  stable OC for R5 1600 would you consider it good or should I look for more?

My rig:

MB: Asrock X370 fatality gaming k4
CPU Water Cooler : Cooler master B120
Case fans : 6X cougar turbine 120 mm (connected to the case controller on lower RPMs)
Case : Cougar Evolution.
Ram: T win 2 X 16 GB 3000 mhz
GPU: MSI 1060 atx 6gb OC
SSD: 480 gb kingston
hdd: 4tb

What is the temperature of the CPU during Aida64? What is used voltage? What is the running RAM frequency?

70 degree cel. Fan set to 70 % on that temperature.I didn't want it to be noisy)
The current Core voltage 1.31825 I don't have any issue concerning the temp. I can go to 1.4 V easily and still remain on the 70 C. Higher frequence is causing me BSD . I am thinking it is because of the RAMs. current freq 2966. Or my silicon  lottery didn't win:)

Forgot to mention that my cooling installation is push pull on exhaust. the pull fan (cougar 3 pin connector) is set manually to the lowest rpm and the push fan (cooler master 4pin pwm) is automated by cpu temperature (customized by me for less noise).

Re: Post your rig

You can test with the RAM on stock, I noticed that my LPX 3000Mhz OC to 2933mhz won't work when I try my CPU at 3.7Ghz, I did OC them when it was at 3.6Ghz (my board is MSI SLI Plus), so if you like to OC the CPU more try to set back the RAM to stock, but personally I think as is - is the best choice, you benefit from both CPU and RAM OC without pushing your system to the edge

If you're interested in getting one I'm coming to Lebanon in end of November.

Re: Post your rig

CPU: Core i5 4460

GPU: MSI gtx 970 OC (reference blower design) - was on sale, go for the open air coolers, never again buying a jet engine

Motherboard: MSI z97 guard-pro

PSU: Thermaltake smart-se 730

Water cooling: Thermaltake pacific-360 kit

RAM: 8GB 1860Mhz hyperX fury

Keyboard: HyperX alloy fps (blue switches, only comes in blue I think)

Case: Thermaltake view 31 - I can't stress enough how much I love this case. It's a mid tower but really fits everything. I have a 360mm radiator on top and can fit another 360 and another 220. The whole drive bay is removable, and you can mount up to 4 drives on the back, without screws. And the tempered glass is awesome, the pics above are with the panels on.

Hard drives: WD 1TB hdd 7200RPM, and a 480GB HyperX Savage (messed up with that one, should've went with something with better queue depth performance)

Mouse: bloody v7

funny we now include mice and keyboards, but hey they really add up to the experience, especially the clicky keyboard... I love it !

You might be asking why I'm watercooling a locked i5, well I just hate fan noise. I even had an AIO hooked up to my gpu, but coudln't include the block in the custom loop, and kinda ruined the AIO. I'm getting a gpu waterblock soon.

Also nothing is really worth upgrading atm, the market is in chaos with AMD ryzen,intel re-branding crap just to add numbers up (wait for 9th gen at least) and Nvidia not willing to lower the price on anything... plus my 970 is doing great still so ..

I'm lost,I've reached the CPU, Ram or board limit?  the system crashes on 68 C ram temp.And  by disabling XMP and running default ram speed I only reaches 3.95 (the performance is lower than the 3.9).

Yes it is a bit confusing, I prefer to move the discussion to the Overclock thread
https://lebgeeks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=12878

Personally when I tested the same CPU frequency with a  slight RAM OC the result in Cinebench were lower! but without RAM OC and with CPU OC the result were always higher but be aware that I didnt reach an extreme point.

I suggest you stay on 3.9Ghz, try to do a long stability test to find the best voltage for it and then try to OC the RAM
