Finally gone back(i mean forward) to a PC!
-
Nice setup... Make sure to tell us how it feels.
-
Oh, looking down the bill I understand how some get to buy all these goodies. Lucky guys !
-
You should see the heat sink I installed. It's comedy how big it is. Lots of head-scratching to see how it was mounted though.
Thanks for changing the thread title Rich....you made me laugh!
All systems go! This thing's a beast. And only took a couple of hours to build. Up yours Apple!
-
You should have gone with an enclosed liquid cooling system. only about $50...

then i'm suddenly reminded of one of the turnoffs in PC culture
these things are computers guys.. not race cars.
-
Yours might not be a racecar... Mine is a classic sports car. It's old and doesn't handle corners well, but it's loud and it looks good.
-
haha. nice
-
enclosed liquid cooling? sounds sexy! haha I just asked for a setup that works, if I needed it the guy would have specified it. The machine is almost silent, its a big step up from my iMac!

heh, the latest macbooks are a big step up from a 7year old imac
(i'm just ribbing.. congrats on the new machine oli.)
-
Enjoy the new machine!
I had a super machine with liquid cooling before, it's great but worrying about springing a leak got to me after about 18 months, back to (good) air cooling after that. Now moved onto beefier laptop rather than HULK desktop, suits my needs fine at the moment. I still have two workstations at home that I can use to network render whenever I require.
-
Haha yeah I know. I've been rocking a dual core for far too long!! A Raspberry Pi is probably more powerful!
I did have a macbook pro that seemed to have built-in planned obsolescence. One day everything just broke and I really looked after it. I'm done with Apple.

Welcome back to the PC Master Race
-
Thanks! Feels good to be back.
Can't wait to press Control Alt Delete!

Do a render and show us what your temps are running?
-
will do, need to set up all my render software first

120GB SSD if this is your working drive is going to send you crazy mate! My biggest wish now is I had gone bigger!
-
Nah. The bigger the storage space you got, the more useless junk you pile up.
-
I use a 120gb SSD and I get by ok. I also have 1.5 tb of 7500rpm disk hard drives for more menial software and storage.

Make sure that the Samsung 840 EVO has the latest firmware installed! Otherwise you will experience big slowdowns with older data.
