Awesome work fella and nice clocks too, its nice to see the freebie getting used and the appreciation is clear. Kudos to you.

Thanks mate and they got the Pentium K back yesterday so all good and a big thanks to Tom and WYP without this forum I would have been lost. There are so many good people here I actually do not use any other

That little Pentium k is a right old trooper. Quality cpu and a great overclocker.

Yeah great little chip im thinking of upgrading the mrs rig to Intel she has a FX6300 in there atm with a trusty old Sapphire HD 7770 but she only watches youtube and iplayer

nice overclock dude , glad you're enjoying your new gear

 

[Tolemac]

Cheers Tripp Tom was right on his review of this motherboard its very good for the price but also I think the Superflower PSU I have has something to do with this

Thanks mate I will be changing cases at some point to a white enthoo pro or white Corsair air 540 then I will swap the bay/res for a chassis mounted res more for aesthetics

slightly off-topic here you said in your thread you was going to build an itx watercooled rig would it be hard-lined or flexible tubing that you will use?.

I will use flexi ti plan and test but the finished build I want hardline in there

i like your setup, but i find too expensive a custom loop for a socket 1150 pc build.
I only use it on enthusiast socket pc builds (1366 / 2011 / 2011-v3 ... )

gg!

I get what you are saying matey at some point I will waterblock the gpu and who knows I might change platform whenever it suits me so its a bit futureproof . and lets not forget its an i5 4960K CPU in there which I have overclocked and added more voltage = more heat?

I disagree, let's face it builders could build an amazing pc for half the price they spend without the aesthetics , but we build because we love and if you love what's an extra few quid for great looks and great performance and I would say 1150 is an enthusiasts socket ?.

I agree with this and lets not forget the satisfaction of actually building it the way you want it

Exactly it's the appreciation of boing it all your self I have sleeved many psu and made cable kits from scratch and the cost was more than buying a kit but the satisfaction was priceless ^_^

i like hw itself and i always spend double the money for the aesthetics,but last thing u said is wrong, it s not enthusiast, it s the cheaper low budget socket.

High budget sockets are 1366/2011/2011-v3.

i simply said i don t spend money on a custom loop for a low [chipset-socket-cpu] build.

i can buy that stuff for a 5960x on x99 (2011-v3) or a dual xeon. (but it s only my opinion on my stuff, i like this build and what he did)

i5/i7 4core are just trash in comparison to every actual hi-socket based cpu, so i don t agree when you say it s a enthusiast build.

I agree to all the first part you say: we like tech itself and no problems on spending money for aesthetics !
It s a great build and if you like to watercool a celeron for passion i like it, but don t say it s enthusiast!

admittedly those sockets are of course high end sockets but surely an enthusiast is a person willing to learn and build a system to their personal budget, and in terms of the the lower end yes its cheaper and less features but i think its at least a starter level enthusiast socket, and don't want to say that everyone who can not afford to dump a grand on an Xeon setup or spend close to that on a higher end socket its crap, its not enthusiast grade etc i think that's a very narrow minded thought process, but i'm not here to cause trouble its my opinion anyone who would prefer to build there own pc rather than grab an off the shelf one is in my opinion an enthusiast, with an enthusiast pc.

man, i can t understand this point of view, so u consider celeron a enthusiast build ? (i edited last post adding some lines)

I'm not saying that your facts on CPUs etc are wrong , my point is I think it's unfair to label cheaper sockets as non enthusiast , otherwise 80% of this forums members would have non enthusiast rigs

ok

Just a small update here guy's i'm happy with the aesthetics but this picture doesn't do the rig justice just got some cable routing/tidying to do then come back to it when I have more money to throw that way .
