Can we have a thread about tech gore, janky rigs, dirty rigs, etc? Please post pics and storis if you have em

and nothing of value was lost -
I have a folder full of PC gore, if the thread still exists when I’m home in 3 hours, I’ll dump it. If not, tough luck.

how did you get this picture of my computer
-
this is literally my computer and i have no idea how to get rid of the giant mass of cables down there
-
rotate the drives 180 degrees so the cables run in the back of the case
-
Theres no reason to get rid of them. Cable management is for idiots

I too like making dust traps.

your case probably has holes you can route the 24pin, 4+4 pin and similar through

When will the watercooling meme finally die?
VGA gimped builds are making it more obviously retarded then ever.-
It’s getting more and more popular thanks to AIOs that cost the same as good heatsinks while being better in literally every way.
>VGA gimped builds are making it more obviously retarded then ever.
You actually think that isn’t on purpose?Also different workloads require different things, keeping smaller CPU dies made with smaller nodes cool takes much more drastic cooling though.
My GPU takes 300W but easily cooled to 75C with 3 90mm fans that are on the shroud, while my CPU needs a 360mm rad for the same temperature under half the watts used.-
>My GPU takes 300W but easily cooled to 75C with 3 90mm fans that are on the shroud, while my CPU needs a 360mm rad for the same temperature under half the watts used.
that’s not how energy works, anon.300 watts is 300 watts, no matter the node or type of workload.
-
That’s exactly how it works.
Putting 300W into a 1x1cm piece of conducting material will make that material hotter than putting 300W into a 2x2cm piece of the same conducting material.
A 500mm2 die is cooler at 300W than a 200mm2 die at 150W. Etc.-

Go play any newer game with a System like mine. I7 10700k & rtx3080 it heats up like crazy even with 1 140front, 3 120top and 140back fans. If i can stop the gpu from going weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee with an AiO Watercooling so be it, sucks to hear it trough my headset
-
exactly my point. gpus are the problem not cpus, there’s no reason to use water for a measly 95 watt chip.
-
I have a 5600X and it went easily into the 80’s with a NH-D15. While with a 360mm AIO it caps out at 70C no matter what, that’s with PBO+AutoOC. Both working at the same loudness.
Meanwhile my deshrouded GPU runs fine at 75C under full load with fans and it’s original heatsink at just 800 RPM, inaudible.-
I don’t think i’ve ever seen my 5600X above 68C°with a U12A.
And with the undervolt it never goes above 65C° while also running 200mhz higher.-
>I don’t think i’ve ever seen my 5600X above 68C°with a U12A.
Not saying it’s impossible, as far as I can tell. Pic related is a 3600X at stock though.
But I was specifically talking about the same loudness as I mentioned in my post, I like my PC to run extremely quietly even under heavy load while still having a good thermal budget and very loose fan curve response.>And with the undervolt it never goes above 65C° while also running 200mhz higher.
Sounds like a nice silicon win. I can get 4850MHz with only -15 UV on "all core" curve optimizer.
-

Well those fans wont help if they have no pressure and are 800rpm
Man up and get a real fan like this

What the fuck is going on with those audio cables?

thats not how air works and most of those cases have dope and superior side air intakes

literally my computer. no window no problem, not paying extra for a modular power supply
-
normies trying to actually build an okay PC but using the hand grenade PSU does hurt a bit to see
what exactly is wrong with this build? i can understand it does not meet the zoomer aesthetic standards but it seems fine to me, those sandy bridge/haswell gigabyte boards are solid as fuck too
-
figuratively my PC
-
>Nobody notices the upside-down PSU
-
It’s supposed to be like that. Hot air rises up so the PSU cools down without the need to turn on the fan, thus keeping the noise down.
-
that’s a always on fan psu… so you’re saying it’s counterproductive

You’re right…

Why don’t you mention where you took those pics from? They are from the German site http://www.dau-alarm.de

Good dump anon appreciate it but why are they such tiny images
-
old
-
> filenames
Because he’s pulling them from the same website that he always does. -
Because all of those pictures are from around 2000 to 2003, so basically oder than 94% of LULZ. Since you don’t seem to understand the concept of 2000s digicam quality or 2000s hosting storage space, I don’t believe you belong to the other 6%…
-
>ask why the images are small
>LOOOOOOOOOOOOL U UNDERAGE???????? YOU NEVER HEARD OF THE YEAR 2000?????????????????
Why are you this retarded? -
So you’re basically reposting shit that has been floating around on the net for all that time, which most of us have already seen literally years ago, and you think this is somehow a good thing?
-
Thanks, im going to go do that now
-
That’s fucking genius
-
Indeed. Whoever came up with it deserves a prize.
Using the pezo to generate power from high frequency sonic vibrations in the air transmitted from the PC speaker to power the floppy drive, that’s big brain. -
It was more of a thought about plugging in buzzer to the HDD LED thing, just for lulz.
-
Okay, Satan.
-
would stacking heatsinks on top of eachother actually work?

My fucking brother did this on his last build, plugged an SSD into his blu ray drive and wondered why the system couldn’t see them.

Removing a CPU Cooler where the thermal paste has turned into glue
-
>where the thermal paste has turned into glue
I didn’t know this was a thing, that must suck-
yeah.
Last weekend I removed my cooler and my CPU came out of the socket (AM4) even though I installed the cooler only 3 months ago. I suspect the reason for this is that I mine monero when my PC is not in use which means the temperature is regularly 78c for hours and hours. Turned my paste solid in just 3 months.-
78c isn’t that much, is it shitty paste?
-
-
[…]
use a hair dryer to soften the thermal paste
-
A poor man’s heat gun
-
>poor man’s "xxx"
Consumerism has been successfully installed in your brain.
[Cancel] [OK]
-
-
-
-
But that would just glue the cpu to the cooler, not rip the entire socket mount off
-
the top of the socket goes over the cpu tho???
-
well if the thermal paste is glueified just twist the cooler until it pops off instead of pulling it until it breaks the cpu
-
-
-
That sounds like a bit of a sticky situation

That reminds me of a story I’ve heard. Some company was moving servers like that and the ground was pretty uneven so the card they had put the machine on rattled a lot. After powering up the server at the new location most of the HDDs were dead.
-
That company was Yahoo. They used shopping carts when moving their datacenter across a parking lot.

liquid cooling is a meme.
-
Been water cooling my cpu/gpu for 10 years. Never an issue.
-
-
Happened to me, killed my R9 280X.
Watercoolers never anymore. -
and that’s why you never fall for the water cooling meme
-
Happened to me, killed my R9 280X.
Watercoolers never anymore.Even back when Pentium 4s and Athlon 64s were top of the line it was still a meme. I was lucky enough to have my setup pee all over my desk instead of the components inside. Water cooling never ever again.
-
You’d think it would be common fucking sense that a device that can potentially leak water should never go inside your PC, but here we are
-
Every wc guide I’ve seen stresses that you should test your loop continuously for at least 24 hours before moving or finishing your build. It’s still a meme even then.
-
You’d think it would be common fucking sense that a device that can potentially leak would use a non-conductive liquid or at least deionized water or even oil-based liquids, but here we are
-
You’d think it would be basic fucking knowledge that deionized water will become ionized with time and that oil it does not conduct heat as well as water and is much thicker than water and will dissolve rubber and plastic parts.
-
You’d think all of these problems are not really problems because they both can easily be addressed.
-
-
-
-
I bet most of these water cooling accidents is the user installing it like a retard.
-
>I bet most of these water cooling accidents is the user installing it
You can stop right there.
-
-
Looks fixable to me
-
wait a minute, GPU’s don’t auto shutdown when reach high temperatures like modern CPU’s?
-
The gpu died from the water not overheating
-
-
lol
why do people still use water cooling
you dont need it anymore, its just a retarded zoomer aesthetic thingthen you kids just buy the preassembled ones and never check or maintain them
you still have like 5, 6, fans so its not like youve reduced the noise
-
you need it more than ever thanks to small dies made with small manufacturing nodes pushing several hundred watts even
>you still have like 5, 6, fans so its not like youve reduced the noise
i hope this is bait -
The owner of that gpu used a deepcool aio that is known for leaking so dissing watercooling as a whole is kinda dumb
-
ask me how i know you’re underage
-
>you kids
T. zoomer
-
-
oh so that’s why modern gpus have panels that cover the back…
-
ah yes, back in 2 hours ago, those were the days
screenshots with relative timestamps counts as tech gore, change my mind -
what if they put mineral oil instead of water in those plug and play watercoolers so when it leaks there should be no short?
-
This is why you are NEVER honest in warranty claims
-
current watercooling gear is as trash as it was 10 years ago, sadly nothing changed after all these years
things are about to change as we’ve reach the limit of air cooling without 50W 10000rpm fans, good watercooling stuff, especially fittings, must become a thing very fast…-
Kek, do people ever fall unironically for that bait? I guess if you haven’t actually dealt with water-cooling turning those 10 years you might fall for it like a clueless redditor.
Have a (You).-
>do people ever fall unironically for that bait?
you’re the first to answer me, the fuck are you talking about?
> I guess if you haven’t actually dealt with water-cooling turning those 10 years you might fall for it
I’ve build quite a few during this time, not for me obviously as I hate them but it’s still the same garbage tubes or fittings, pumps are still garbage and ekwb is wrose than ever.
you’re better off with chinkshit from aliexpress, literally the same quality for 1/10th of the price…
>like a clueless redditor.
I don’t browse reddit and I have no idea what an average redditor is like-
>you’re the first to answer me, the fuck are you talking about?
Yes, I’m implying ironically. That was the point. Have fun. -
What are you smoking, we have proper fittings, quick connects and finding matching diameters is easier than ever, plus pumps don’t sound like lawnmowers anymore
Watercooling back in the day in the early 00’s was a pain in the ass
-
-
-
-
Just wash the motherboard with water and let it dry
-
If you didn’t flood your mancave to keep your entire room watercooled like Lain can you really call yourself a power user?
-
-
-
I don’t remember off the top of my head, how much space do you lose with raid 5?
-
(Sum capacity of all drives) – (capacity of 1 drive)
-
if that faggot was unwilling to lose one drive out of 8 instead of losing his entire array then he got what he fucking deserved
-
I wouldn’t settle for less than RAID6 or RAID10 if I’m building an array with more than 4 drives and using drives larger than 2TB.

>8 drives

Can’t you do liquid cooling but with a liquid that is non-conductive?
-
you can but such liquid is hella expensive
-
Wouldn’t basic distilled water be enough? It’s not conductive and rather cheap
-
Even destilled water can and will lead electricity. Due to small particles of dust or whatever it will short out.
There is a video on Youtube about this, someone wanted to run a pc in liquid and only vegetable or sunflower oil didn’t short out
-
Linus tech tips did a "computer fully submerged in mineral oil" or something build iirc
-
mineral oil PC’s were around long before linus started pooping out youtube clickbait
-
who in the real world would ever bother with all that
seems like a ton of work especially if something goes wrong and you have to clean up the mess-
>who in the real world would ever bother with all that
I don’t know, LinusShitTips perhaps?-
Lol, I literally did that when Linus was not even in high school.
-
-
-
-
Yeah,maybe it was him with mineral oil what i saw, don’t remember. Bottom line is, destilled/demineralized water isn’t safe
I bought AiO Watercooling for my 3080, its not here yet but i hope i didn’t make a mistake. Air cooling is just too loud
-
>I bought AiO Watercooling for my 3080, its not here yet but i hope i didn’t make a mistake. Air cooling is just too loud
If your PSU has the fan pointing out of the case’s bottom you should be fine I think, it’s not like with CPU water cooling that can spill on graphics card PCB or the motherboard
-
-
-
Deionised water immediately picks up ANY debris as a solvent and thus will no longer be deionised and thus conduct electricity, so unless you’re building in a cleanroom behind perspex not gonna work, certain nonconductive mineral oils would though see
Linus tech tips did a "computer fully submerged in mineral oil" or something build iirc
That’s exactly how it works.
Putting 300W into a 1x1cm piece of conducting material will make that material hotter than putting 300W into a 2x2cm piece of the same conducting material.
A 500mm2 die is cooler at 300W than a 200mm2 die at 150W. Etc.H-h-hot got any more?
-
>so unless you’re building in a cleanroom behind perspex not gonna work
Even if you did that you still have CO2 from the air making your water acidic and dissolving metals

Yes, the only reason we don’t use pure distilled water is for antimicrobial, anti-corrosives, so they don’t boil or freeze, and so you get your gay pastels and glitter.

just use brake lines and an actual copper radiator with distilled water. nothing can survive in such a loop. -
jesus christ
I know seeing bugs or sometihng but how the fuck do you get a full rat in there-
A few months ago I moved the freezer in my garage for the first time in 20 years and there was a long-dead rat trapped back there. There must’ve been 1cm or less of clearance but it somehow managed to climb, and the years of heat turned it into dry rat leather. Wish I’d taken a picture of it.

Ah yes, the classic S939 Nforce4 motherboard. Pretty much everybody who owned one back in the day had to do something similar.
This is the inevitable result when you take a hot-running chipset and position it directly behind the fucking PCIe x16 slot, then slap on the cheapest stamped metal cooler with a tiny 7000rpm fan that will make horrible grinding noises and die after two months, because nothing larger will fit without hitting either the graphics card or the PCIe slot itself.

The side panel is supporting the weight of the card

My friend has one sort of like this, except the disparity isn’t so large so instead of cutting a slot he just forced the panel and it fucking bulges out
