My Man(Gamer) Cave

[hellspawncy]

Hi, its my first post so don't be rough.
This the only room at home that my girlfriend knows when I am there she is allowed to be silent and don't interrupt me.
My gaming PC, i5-3570k no overclock at 4.2Ghz the prime becomes unstable so no need for overclock if it will be less than half Ghz. With Club3D 7870 LE and 32 GB of ram and a single Samsung evo 250GB

Next to it is a small file server HP N54L running WHS 2011, my laptop and my Surface.
Also i have a small experimental station with a PS3, ATV2 and raspberry PI
Keyboards and Mouses from razer and Logitech speakers.

and Pixie my 3yr old Yorkie

And sorry for the quality the i had only my Lumia at hand and the room has low light

32Gb ram? Could have saved a ton of money and bought a better GPU.

Nonetheless nice man cave.. wish i had one!

I really like the forced perspective on that guitar, makes it look really small! /s

nice setup, get a ram drive on that puppy (the computer not the furry)

Great setup, I agree with SuB, You got enough Ram to make a ram drive, Put a game on it and have zero loading screens ^_^

Depends on the game, I tried it with BF4 beta and it didn't make a damned bit of difference. AVP (the recent one) on the other hand.. not a single loading screen for more than about 1/10th of a second.. amazed me.

I use the ram for visualization, I usually migrate customers system to virtual box to test software updates. I don't mess with live customer systems except when I am sure the new versions of their POS are stable and they dont have any bugs, and usually software is buggy.

Ram was cheap, was like 150 uk pounds at amazon corsair vengeance blue, I think was near end of April of 2013

Nice cave! You should be able to OC your cpu pretty well though, watch this:



I know it's not your cpu, but the basics are the same.

I know just the chip isn't overclock friendly, at 4.1 is stable at 4,2 I get errors even with cpu voltage adjustments the cooler is an H80i at load never passes the 60 degrees. And the PSU is Super flower 1000w gold. Just the chip is bad. I test a friends CPU and was working at 4.8GHz with 1.35GHz Volts. Mine does not push more than 4.1GHz so its not worth. I am spoiled because my old i5-750 was clock to 3.8GHz from 2,6GHz

OLD PC Setup btw
