Looks like you didn't have time for a tidy up and giving the place a hoover before your photo op either ;)

:D

That one had to wait until Saturday, last week was a long, long one that almost makes you wish there was no bank holiday in the first place!

Added 2 more goodies, almost finished (for now) :P

Looks like a custom Rainmeter.

RocketDock is the the middle one and the rest is custom Rainmeter.

That wall mounting is sick, love it.

Picked up a few new additions over Christmas



New desk



Headphones: Beyerdynamic DT990 Edition 600 Ohms



Dac+Amp: Magni 3 and Modi 2 Uber

You're outdoing my 990 Pros + Fiio E10. Nice setup.

I got a set of 770 Pro's as a second pair to my HD 650's. Love them. Soooo much better than any gaming headset. Also, those Magni's are savage. Wish i could afford them.

Small upgrade from a particularly loud stock fan to Cryorig H7.

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.8gHZ /1.32v

Definately helping with temps. Idling at 28c compared to 35 with the stock cooler. To the mid 40's from around 65 while gaming.

2 x Samsung 960 Evo 500GB NVMe in RAID 0

Oooh, living on the edge!

Metric Tensor

In pre-Solid State days I ran a RAID 0 array for the guts of 5 years without any problems. I have no idea what made me decide to do it originally but then I was too lazy to change it for ages!

2 Samsung Evos in RAID 0 must be like lightning to use!!!

Same deal with my Asus workstation board, have to use a PCI-E card and leave the onboard M2s vacant.

Fairly sure I read/seen lately that NVME’s were hit particularly badly with the spectre fixes.

Yeah, but not to that extent.

That means that a single PCIe 3.0 lane, at 8GT/s, can send 985MB/s. That's not quite twice 500MB/s, but it's close enough for marketing purposes. What that means is that a PCIe 3.0 x4 connection (3.94GB/s) should have nearly the same bandwidth as PCIe 1.1 x16, or PCIe 2.0 x8 (both 4GB/s).

The M.2 slots are useless once you're close to 4GB/s you need an x16 expansion card to quadruple the bandwidth for them.

Do coffee lake Motherboards have chipset driven PCIe sockets though as the CPU only have 16 afaik and that is the advantage of going high end they have more lanes on the CPU side.

Its not called Extended ATX for nothing!

So as mentioned in the other thread, 1080Ti arrived... along with some SuperFlower Leadex braided cables. Not the worst starting material - I spent a bit of time when I was building this using my poor cable management skills.



The back however was a different story...


Side by side - Asus GTX 970 STRIX vs MSI 1080Ti TRIO X


Still not tidy by any means at the back... but it made life easier!


New frontal


It's alive...again

Very nice..and that's one massive card. 8mm velcro tape is excellent for tidying up cables and it looks better than tie wraps as well.

Here's my daily driver.

It's getting on a bit now - most of the components are a number of years old. Also going Mini-ITX wasn't as cool as I thought it would be.

I'm starting to long for something new, maybe when Zen 2 is to come around next year.

What's in it:

Intel Core i7-6700k
MSi Z170I Gaming Pro AC
16GB Crucial BallistiX DDR4-2400MHz
MSi GTX 1070
Corsiar AX760
Fractal Define S Nano

And my Plex server.

Quite an old and low power setup but a perfectly adequate Plex Server in my experience. Its next addition would be 2 12TB HDDs.

AMD Athlon 5350
ASRock AM1H-ITX
4GB Corsair DDR3-1333MHz
Cooler Master Elite 110
Corsair SF450

Samsung 840 250GB SSD
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB
Seagate Barracuda 4TB

Finished off my new Coffee Lake build on Sunday. Just waiting on two new radiator fans.

K.O.Kiki

I need to build myself an ITX Plex server, too.

Very nice build man,

What are the specs?
