Diogenes - AKA Rii's m-ITX Build.

tighter timingings like cas 4 are best.

When was the last time you looked at RAM? 6 years ago? CAS4, is well gone.

Anything CL9 is fine, again, it also has very little affect on performance.

actually 2 years ago had a brain fart was thinking of something else , i meant cl 9 ...  9-9-9-27, i miss the days of CL 7 ram

but again it is still not noticeable just get the best you can afford RII

[Mayhem_Lee]

16GB of 1600mhz or 1866mhz if you can afford (few extra frames come through with the 1866 but fuck all more with anything higher). Personally I have 1600mhz but should have gone slightly higher.

[Growler]

but it's all about the gigawatts, 2400 or bust, no homo.

are you going to paint flames on your case!!

[Retardobot]

I'm thinking about printing something on the side panels.

Perhaps "JIZZTITS".

[Xenolightning]

Nahhhh, "Everyday I'm Rustling"

[Retardobot]

Nahhhh, "Everyday I'm Rustling"

This is tempting.

"JIMMIES RUSTLER".

And every time I log in, a batch script plays "Hi James, time to rustle some jimmies".

In other news, ordered an i5 4690K Devil's Canyon today. Just need RAM and she'll be alive (and running on onboard GPU until I get my card in a few weeks).

Nice. Was there much of a price difference between I5 & I7 cpu's?

Also what card have you found/going with? Bear in mind that 980ti is rumoured to be making an appearance in the coming months so should drop prices on the existing 970's & 980's.

[Retardobot]

Between the devil canyon iterations? Yeah, a reasonable price jump from i5 to i7.

[Xsannz]

thread needs more images, just not hosted on Iforce

[Mayhem_Lee]

What graphics card have you got eyes on RIIIIIIIIIIII?

[Retardobot]

This: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/TURBOGTX970OC4GD5/

But I've no idea when it's going to be available in NZ and I'm not ballsy enough to order via Amazon.

I want a 970, so my options are the lesser clocked ASUS or Gigabyte dwarf models of the 970 that have exhaust based coolers, or end up getting a 970 that just has an open cooler.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Holy crap this case is so much smaller than I anticipated. Monty Python DVD for scale.

That Monty Python DVD is huge!

It's available in Aus https://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemId=619456 surely a local supplier should be able to make a special order for gobbies?

[Retardobot]

Hmm, interdasting!

I had emailed both CL and Playtech about availability last week but haven't had any reply yet.

Sent another email off to CL today, hopefully I get a response.

[Xsannz]

Wow thats a nice looking card

[Retardobot]

Latest photos after CPU + cooler install.

Cooler has fucking long tubes. Not really confident to cut them and re-seal, if that's even possible so I've just had to curl them up.

Shit is going to get messy real fast when cables start going in...

[Mayhem_Lee]

What config have you gone with fans for exhaust/intake? Personally I would have both corsair reds intake and the cpu AIO exhausting.

Will look good with that Asus 970

[Retardobot]

The white fan which is the AIO fan is intake, I'm unable to position it so it's exhaust. Corsair fan next to it is exhaust, and the corsair fan on the bottom is intake again. The bottom fan is intake as I want it to be blowing fresh cool air onto the GPU.

[Dr. Acula]

Kind of want to go the m-ITX route now...

Tis' bitter sweet.

Tomorrow I order RAM and optical drive (I have a large collection of physical media, and am still a fan of it over digital distribution).

I get to see my machine up and running (minus a GPU, that will come in the next few weeks, O/B GPU FTL) but I also have to spend a few hours on cable management once everything is plugged in - le sigh. Never done cable management in a case this friggin' small.

Haven't decided on RAM yet, will probably be a 5 min decision once I look at Computerlounge.co.nz. $250 budget for 16GB.

Decision made  = http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=24219 I have the corsair stuff but brand whore. Same timings & speed $40 price reduction to allow increased grapefruit purchases..... (or increased budget for the right gpu)

[Xenolightning]

BUUUTTTT CORSAIR!

Totally agree with ML though.

[Retardobot]

Thanks Mayhem

Corsair does = +20 wank factor with build log photos...... BUT Riis cable management gone be so bad never see the brands :/
