Hello everyone, I was just curious of everyone's setups so I thought I'd start a thread to show off your crunching rigs. | |

You're right, spacially at rig #5 the difference is very subtle. I didn't expect for anybody discovering it...You replaced the RAM modules, the new ones have heatsinks. They are black, so really hard to spot, but they are thicker than the original ones. You've also cleaned the CPU cooler, and made a note of it on its label. You've replaced the back fans earlier, and made a note of it on the metal above in it, but you've made the 1st photo before making that note. | |

Ian&Steve C. - I bet that setup keeps you warm on a chilly day. Is it plumbed directly into your house central heating? | |

That is a decent piece of plumbing. Getting the right size pump must have been a challenge. | |

I’m just using 2x standard D5 pumps for PC watercooling. Set to 80% speed each. | |

On next weekend I'll publish the solution with all differences. As I promised, here is the solution to the "Find the differences" game. * Rig #1 -1) TACENS 80+ PSU crashed, and was replaced by a MARS GAMING 85+ modular one. -2) Bottom graphics card was replaced by an ASUS DUAL-GTX1650-O4G. -3) Optical unit at upper right, originally connected, was disconnected for energy saving. -4) Processor's heatsink and fan were cleaned, and fan installed in a (90º CW rotated) new position. -5) SSDs containing Windows XP and Linux Operating Systems were respectively labeled at chasis by "XP" and "L" * Rig #2 -1) Original graphics card was replaced by an ASUS TUF-GTX1650-4G-GAMING * Rig #3 There was a revolution at this rig: -1) Original socket LGA775 motherboard was replaced by a new GIGABYTE Z390UD for socket LGA1151. -2) Original CORE 2 QUAD Q9550S processor was replaced by a new CORE I5-9400F (not seen at photo). -3) New DDR4 memory modules were installed (2x KINGSTON HX426C16FB3/8 = 16GB RAM). -4) A new front 80x80 fan was installed for additional air intake. -5) Original GTX950 graphics card was replaced by three other cards, from top to bottom: GTX1650, GTX750, GT1030. -6) Two SSds containing Linux 18.04 and 19.10 were identified by labeling them at chassis. -7) Original IDE optical unit was replaced by a SATA one, as new motherboard doesn't support legacy IDE ports. * Rig #4 -1) IDE optical unit coming from Rig #5 was installed at this rig, as its motherboard does support one IDE port. -2) Original ASUS DUAL-GTX1660TI-O6G graphics card was displaced downwards on motherboard. -3) On the previously liberated PCIE port, a second graphics card was installed (GIGABYTE GV-N750OC-2GI) * Rig #5. I'll extend a bit longer on Rig #5, the most difficult one. -1) The rear fan at the upper left was really replaced immediately before I took the first photo, due to a problem like this. Then I logged it with a black marker after taking the first photo. And I added "REPLACED" with blue marker just before taking the second photo, after 5 months past. -2) The CPU heatsink was really replaced on october 12th 2019, and I logged it with a black marker. At the moment of taking the second Photo, I noted that fan and heatsink's fins were blocked by cat's hair and trapped dust. I cleaned them thoroughly, and logged it with blue marker over fan's flap. -3) I tried to take the second set of photos at similar distances and angles that the first one. The difference that can be appreciated on memory modules on this rig is due to a side lighting added on the second photo, causing a shadow reduction. But on the two photos both memory modules were the same Kingston HyperX Black. On April 1st 2020 Retvari Zoltan said: You're right, spacially at rig #5 the difference is very subtle. I didn't expect for anybody discovering it... It was not easy. Mr. Zoltan, for me, you have climbed one step more on your Mastership. Well done! And also special thanks to rod4x4 for participating. | |

You need to either fill up that RAM slot that's missing or remove the 1st slot as you are only running single channel speeds opposed to dual channel speeds. Big difference. | |
