LOL, it's his. I just placed my Koolance pot on there for looks. If you look close there isn't even mounting hardware for it.

And here I was hoping Blay was joining the Ryzen club himself! [emoji14]

building PC on ryzen is enough ... I would make one for myself but somehow I feel like my ryzen will be sold in some time when I get bored of tests ... or I just exchange motherboard to something ITX as I wish to have 8 core ITX build ... I just have no idea for what

LOL, I can't say I haven't thought about it. Right now, like Woomack, I just don't have the need for it. I was really hoping the FX6xxx & FX 8xxx would drastically drop in price to upgrade my FX 4130 but that doesn't seem to be the case. Thinking about it I might still grab a FX 8350 for $130 from the egg while they're still available. hmmm

Damn Blay, you tease. I thought you were taking it cold!

You missed out on the 8320E w/ a decent Mobo for $160 Blay. You could've gotten another CPU from me [emoji14]

I can grab a 8320E for $89.

Mine was with my UD5 though...

I have an ASRock 990FX Extreme9 LOL

Buuut it wasn't MY 990FX [emoji14]

Ok... Get back to building. We have derailed your own thread enough. Pics or it didn't happen...

UPDATE: COMPARISON BENCHMARKS

So at the last update I teased an image of dismalDIRGE's rig on my test bench. So I decided to do some comparative benching with my i7-4790k. While these two CPU are not in a competitive market together I was curious how they would fare against each other. Some results were expected but there was a surprise or two in there. Now, I want to appologize for the length of this post as there will be a lot of data. If benching is not your thing then you'll likely want to skip this post. TLR Ryzen performs well in Multi-thread but lacks single thread pazazz.

Here are the two test subjects.

[oldtable]Test Subjects | dismalDIRGE | FreezerBURN
CPU | R5-1600X OC'd to 4.0Ghz| i7-4790k UC'd to 4.0Ghz (and Stock 4.4Ghz)
Motherboard | ASUS Prime X370 Pro | ASRock Z97 OC Formula
Ram | Avixer DDR4 2x8GB 2400 CL16 | GSkill DDR3 2x4Ghz 2133 CL9 (OC'd to 2400 CL10)
Cooler & TIM | CM 212X & Stock CM TIM | CM 212X & Stock CM TIM
GPU | EVGA 1070 SC (stock) | EVGA 1070 SC (stock)
PSU | EVGA 850GQ | EVGA 850GQ
SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 240GB | Samsung 850 EVO 240GB
* All GPU testing was done @ 1080 resolution on the same monitor for consistency
** All testing was done at a stock setting without disabling any Windows or background Software
*** The R5 was OC'd to 4.0Ghz on all 6 cores (how it will run 24/7) and the i7 was UC'd to 4.0Ghz for IPC comparison as well as run at stock 4.4Ghz for a true comparison
[/table]

Here are the screen shots of the two systems as they are set-up.

So with the set-ups out of the way here are the results from the 2D benchmarks. All benches were run 5 times consecutively. I will report the best score and the average results for all benches. Screenshot inside of the spoiler to help those poor souls with bad interweb speeds.

As expected Ryzen excelled in the multi-threaded benchmarks but fell behind in the single threads. Nothing too surprising here. Now on to the 3D benchmarks we look at Unigine Heaven, TimeSpy, and Firestrike.

[oldtable]Unigine Heaven | 1600x @4GHZ | 4790K @ 4.0Ghz | 4790k @4.4 Ghz
Best Score | 5546.379 | 6603.871 | 6743.583
Ave Score | 5402.370 | 6535.365 | 6702.511 [/table]


[oldtable]TimeSpy | 1600x @4GHZ | 4790K @ 4.0Ghz | 4790k @4.4 Ghz
Best Score | 5992 | 5763 | 5765
Ave Score | 5940 | 5733 | 5568 [/table]


[oldtable]Firestrike | 1600x @4GHZ | 4790K @ 4.0Ghz | 4790k @4.4 Ghz
Best Score | 15829 | 14892 | 14005
Ave Score | 15755 | 14801 | 13095 [/table]


So what I found surprising was the results from the 4790k at stock (4.4Ghz) were lower than the underclocked 4.0Ghz scores. I can only assume there must have been some instability with the down clock. All the other tests seems consistent so I'm not sure what's going on with Firestrike but here are the results.

Stay tuned in the next day or two as I start revealing the actual assembly. Oh and if you've made it this far into the post you'll be glad to hear the next update will feature the first of the case mods.

Thanks for the benchmarks. This is a great build thread.

That is some nice bench marks. How to you make the brackets with data?

+1 on both.

Guess who just helped to make the weekly update easier to read? YOU DID.....

Lol glad I could help.

Nice work Blay

interesting, the wins an losses make cpu choice a wash.

Concidering I paid about $500 for the 4790k + Mobo I'd say it's a huge win.

Update!

Welcome Back Overclockers!!

I promised a minor case mod for this update and due to family obligations this was all I was able to get done over the weekend.

Since this build will only be utilizing a single SSD for the OS and a single HDD for media I opted to forego the two 3x HDD cages that comes with the Luxe. It's just way to much clutter for a single HDD.

The plan was to mount the HDD to the base mount for cages. This base mount is also the foundation for the pump mount. I was surprised to find out that Phanteks did not include mounting holes or rubber feet for mounting a HDD there. This is only a minor inconvenience. So I drilled four holes in the base mount and used the extra rubber pads that were included in the Hyper 212x for push/pull.

Imagine the 6 HDD bays removed and this is where the HDD will sit. If you look close you can see the Lower Mount. This area will now be wide open and will not restrict the incoming airflow. I'll try to get a mounted pic soon.

Here's the before pic with the rubber pads.

In this image you can see the additional four holes as well as the rubber pads mounted. I placed the WD HDD upside down next to it so you can see how the holes will line up.

And finally the assembled HDD mount. This is only a very minor mod and I'm in the process of the semi major mods which will be the focal points for this build.

Well, that's it for today. I truly wish I had more accomplished at this stage but family happens. See you all next week if all goes well.
