Your Card in its Natural Habitat

[4K_shmoorK]

UPDATE:
So the community seems a bit stir crazy with all the GPU news coming out. All this A-sync DX12 performance/$ talk has got me a bit

SO...

LETS SEE THOSE CASES LADIES AND GENTS

Post up pics of your GPU and setups. I know some people here have some killer signatures, there has to be killer rigs to go along with 'em! Look below for post suggestions, got some updates myself!


This subsection needs more community, I say!

Post up some pictures of your card(s) in its natural habitat (your case). I bet some members have some quality/unique setups that we would all like to see.

Just drop a picture of your card(s) humming along happily in your case, be sure to include:

GPUs have urbanized since then.

I don't know why, even after removing every single thing from my case, it still feels more messy than every single case I see. I just can't make a build look clean -.-

GeForce GTX 780 from galaxy before they changed their name to GALAX his natural habitat is a Lian Li PC9N (I hate SECC steel cases). It's slightly messy due to the PSU cables, they are too thick to fit behind the case.

Notice the high tech graphics card suspension wire (GCS wire)...

 

[Hi-Fi Man]

GeForce FX 5600 Ultra v2 from BFG (wheep) in a Cooler Master Elite 334 nVIDIA edition. This build used to have a 7800 GS (sold) then a 6800 GT but the RAM started to artifact on that card.

This animal is a dinosaur and only dwells in AGP slots located in the nForce 3 Ultra motherland. It's co-inhabitants include a BFG Ageia PhysX card, SCSI 160 card from adaptec, Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic, and an SCA2 SCSI 320 15K 146GB Seagate Cheetah (mouthful).

The ASUS R9 280X DCUII TOP is getting a bit dated these days, works pretty well with a X5680 still. Funny to see those cards still listed on the Egg at twice what I paid at the time.

Wonder if they still sell any, $649 list is silly for one these days.

Few other goodies in there, Auzentech X-FI Prelude, couple RAID cards.

Two Sammy Evo 850s SSD's in RAID0 for WIN X, 4 old X WD RE3 HDD's 1TB's for storage.

Antec 1200, with every fan but the big one in the top rear modified.

For grins and giggles, here is his little counterpart in the bedroom use for a HTPC, even the old school True Copper CPU cooler on it with a X5650 on a ASUS P6T V2.

Is still a kick seeing the old all copper coolers around like above. This sucker is a little over 4 lbs, yup have guy wires on that baby.

It's pretty basic, just a little Crucial BX-100 SSD in it for WIN X, and a 500 GB WD Black HDD for storage.

It's a cute little thing old EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 in it. It runs the 37" in the bedroom at 1080i nicely still I guess for movies, streaming etc. Baby HAF case, little 912.

The wife has a Q9650 she still using in the guest bedroom for general purpose, nothing fancy there.

I guess I've never been big on lighting, most fans etc I've replaced on cases got rid of it actually, in favor of being quieter and more efficient.

The main is just this big thing that is pretty quite and sits beside me with no lights, it's kinda like a SR71, though it doesn't fly that fast.

Diggin' the 5600 Ultra. Brings me back to the ol' family PC, the Geforce 6600. Second PC, first self built lasted all the way to 2012, 8600 GT. Great cards.

That loop though:awe:

What are the specs on your liquid setup Sabrewings? Been thinking about going full loop myself.

 

[Sabrewings]

All in my sig. 4790k running at 4.9GHz and 980 Ti at 1540MHz 100% sustained boost clock.

Whole body shot:

 

[Spanners]

540 Carbide + R9 290 Tri-X

+Silly lights I switch off 99% of the time because they reflect off the screen.

Still using my Ultra 120 extreme from my e8400 build in 2008!

 

[SteveGrabowski]

It's slightly messy due to the PSU cables, they are too thick to fit behind the case.

I have the Neo Eco 620C too, man the cables are stiff. I couldn't get my 8-pin CPU cable to bend right to route behind the motherboard tray and just had to do it old school hanging down in front of everything.

That is sweet looking.

reference 290x with EK block and i7-4790k in cooktek W1





fast, quiet and reliable, no frills. perfect for its intended purpose (running analysis software)

It takes a certain kind of OCD to do it right. :sneaky:

 

[Pottuvoi]

Will not post pictures in fear of being accused of having it to live in poor conditions.. (carton, duct tape and utter darkness.)

 

[Mr Evil]

Case: It doesn't have a make or model.
GPU: Sapphire R9 Fury Tri-X
Modifications: Technically none - it's still exactly like it was when it was manufactured.

 

[thesmokingman]

It's a lil dusty on closer inspection.

Can't see much with the cover on, so...

 

[4K_shmoorK]

Mr. Evil, how do you like the Sapphire Tri-X? My buddy bought that card and he says it stays super cool and quiet. Able to get a decent OC out of it?

thesmokingman, 980 Ti's under water or 780 Ti's?

 

[thesmokingman]

Oh, sorry here's the specs.

Enthoo Primo with a 3930K and triple 290x Lightnings under water.

This post needs to be edited with actual pictures of your case for everyone's reference. Your card in it's natural habitat does not help us when we do not fully understand the nature of your cards habitat =D

aka it's cool you should show it off.

 

[Maximilian]

I dont post here often but whatever.

i5 4570
16gb ddr3
r9 280x saphhire
asus sabertooth mk2
antec hcp 1300w (yeah i know, overkill, rage away )

 

[Mr Evil]

Added a couple more pics to please tential!

Very happy with it. I got it so I could play games at 4k, and it's just about fast enough for that, keeping The Witcher 3 above 30fps with a mixture of high/ultra settings.

It's extremely quiet with the temperature limit set to 75°C. At idle and playing older games, the fans don't even turn on.

I'm still in the process of determining how fast it can go. It's been running at 1110MHz for a while without problems, but it hasn't been stressed very much yet. I also tried unlocking some extra cores with a BIOS mod, but that failed.

I like them small
● Ncase M1 v2 black
● Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 Gaming
● Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.4GHz
● Intel SSD 730 480GB | X-25M G2 160GB
