New The PC Build Thread

That was weird. First time I have ever seen a hardware error message like that, and there was a signal. I am happy that the new GPU is working.

First time as well :-), yes there was a signal but man it wasn't the best there was artifacting of note and Windows freezing installs and crashing. Now it seems stable, though had to uninstall nvidia drivers cause I used a 2060 super to set the machine up.
 
Only PSU to go as the lady arrived today.

Yes, I know system should be wired up first but wanted to see what things will look like.

You could do the front panel, fans and such while you wait for their power supply.
With that cooler, you may struggle with the cpu power at the top (i know I've got that exact cooler)

Yes, I have wired those up since.

Will see what the temps are at. Very good performing case for airflow by default apparently.

9950X3D
64GB 6000Mhz CL30 mem
RTX 5080
1000W ATX 3.1 Superflower Cybenetics Platinum
2TB Gen 5 nvme

I don't upgrade every few years like most though. Tend to keep PCs for a decade or so.

Might have a mid cycle GPU upgrade.
 
pretty happy with my build.....I am seriously considering going all white....lol. it is just that pretty, but pricey.....sigh....And no don't care much for the cable management....lol. Mostly because the cables being shorter than expect on the corsair CX750. I couldn't route all cable round the back

That looks nice. I don't care much for cable management either.

To me it's an all purpose tool I can tinker with. I live in a dusty area on small holding so white would be a no go for me even though it looks nice.

Was going to just slog it out with iGPU until Super series but decided I might die in that time and what a waste that would be 😀 .

Very nearly went with 9070XT because I wanted to try SteamOS but I also use things like Davinci so green it was.

yeah I went with the cheapest decent CPU, will get a secondhand CPU next year. :). 14400 is actually pretty darn decent for the price point, got a good deal on it for 3k, it has since gone up. Honestly, the multicore performance is well worth it.
 
Okay Arc B580 is fine :) son just gave it about 4 hours of playing Sleeping Dogs. Odd thing with the 5700x3d the pc uses roughly the same power as my 9700x and 9070
 
So, not exactly a 'build' as I bought it like this, but I picked this up earlier this week:

1759602169286.png

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Powercolor Red Devil RX 6700XT
16GB DDR4-3600C16
NZXT Kraken X53 240mm AIO
MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI
Cooler Master V850 SFX PSU
6x Scythe Kaze 120mm PWM fans
Sabrent Rocket 4.0 500GB NVMe and I added an Intel some-or-another 512GB NVMe for storage

All built inside a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini case. Feels good to be back with the PCMR :)

Why water-cooled on the 5600x? I don't think that mine has ever hit 70 degrees...

PS - I'm running a twin-fan CoolerMaster CPU cooler.

With a stock cooler, they run quite hot. Mine would be 65 idle and 80 or so while gaming on a hot day, but with water cooling (280mm radiator), it doesn't go over 55 while gaming and 35 on idle on a hot day

Jikes. Mine idles at about 42 degrees in mid-summer in Pretoria, but I don't use the stock. I use a twin-fan CoolerMaster tower

What? Mine never cracked over 65 with the stock air cooler.
Other fans in the case?

Yes, at the time I think it was 1x 120mm in the front (intake) 1x 120mm at the top (exhaust) and 1x 120mm rear (exhaust). This was with the pre-applied TP

Odd, though 80 isn't an issue anyway. Think my old 2060 super used to hit 85 degrees though.
