New PC Built! Back to playing very soon!
« on: December 03, 2016, 11:37:03 pm »
Hey everyone. I know it's been some time since I have played. Sadly, my computer barely ran anything as it was over 6 years old but I was able to play 7dtd on the lowest settings. However many weeks ago it finally decided it would crash after only a few minutes gameplay so I had to stop playing until I got my Christmas bonus and was able to build a new rig. Happily, I received my bonus a couple of weeks ago and was finally able to order all of the components for my new PC. I just finished building it and I'm still in the process of installing and updating everything which will likely take most of tonight. I hope to be on sometime tomorrow assuming I don't run into any issues. So far everything looks great. Amazing in fact!

I want to give a special thanks to my friend h0tr0d for hooking me up with a steal of a bargain price for his pair of used GeForce GTX Titan Z's. Without his generosity, I never would have been able to afford such a graphics wallop.  ;D

Below are two pictures of my new rig which took me the better part of 6+ hours to build from scratch. I still have some finishing touches to make and the paint cans you see it setting on are not permanent, haha! They are there to temporarily allow clearance for my DVD-ROM as it opens at the bottom. This, when complete will be mounted on the wall so clearance for it will not be an issue then. I am looking forward to seeing all of you in game soon!

Yes sir! The case is an open design and will only have a Plexiglas front when complete. As a result the design requires water cooling for the CPU.

I wanted to build a custom water cooling system with a large clear reservoir and clear tubing but it just wasn't in the budget. I may upgrade to that at a later time if finances permit me to. But the current cooler is doing an amazing job for now.

overclock the hell out of it! lol that's a BIG radiator. 3x 120mm fans. I have mine overclocked almost 1ghz with just 2x 120's on a corsair radiator and it runs just a couple deg higher than normal.
