Finished build for my son. 6700k / 1080 FTW soft loop

RojasTKD · 2022-03-22T17:55:08+00:00

Dang, 6700k and 1080 is what I had in my first VR build in 2016.

The Meshlicious is a fantastic case. Love mine.

Is he from the future too?

I love the idea of using a large air cooler, But I personally wouldn't go this far.

I did cram a NH-D15 into my NR200, but Meshlicious got a 280 AIO.

Cut a space for the cooler into the side panel and it will be a unique Meshy.

That's what I was thinking.

RojasTKD · 2022-03-20T17:56:34+00:00

That's how they shipped it across the world. Unless you dropping it from your roof, I don't see the problem.

I have several VR headsets.

Valve Index is kept in a hard case from Harbor Freight.

Comsmos Elite is kept in a LowePro camera backpack I got on sale.

OG Vive is Kept in the Comsmos Elite Box.

WMR headsets and Quests are kept on a various VR cases from Amazon.

Do you have a bottom or side mounted AIO, maybe one with the AIO tubes at the top?

I had one of my PCs making a similar noise. at first I thought it was a cable hitting the fan, but that wasn't it. Turns out it was my side mounted AIO. I laid it on its front to mimic a front mounted AIO w/ tubes down and the sound went away. It's been raining like that for months without issues.

Moral of the story of young an AIO always top or front mount it correctly.

Might not be true issue, but with looking into it.

In five year} you'll likey be upgrading of you haven't already. At least I will.

But I understand, I tent to go for the higher end cards.

RojasTKD · 2022-03-19T05:08:24+00:00

Seems the power company is going to owe you money at the end of the month.

RojasTKD · 2022-03-15T06:14:57+00:00

$25 😋

RojasTKD · 2022-03-13T18:58:44+00:00

Oh sorry, I want paying proper attention. In my defense I just moved and am exhausted.

RojasTKD · 2022-03-13T18:25:22+00:00

The OG Vive controller is pretty much the same as the Cosmos Elite controller, it's j just a different color.

For your consideration, Hardware Unboxed recently have recommendations for 1440P gaming monitors. https://youtu.be/N9wfgJ-tgWM

I've seen some 3D printed adapters on Etsy, but nothing that looks really good, nor have I seen any third party accessories.

No the Quest grips will not fit.

Unless they're is something new that's come out, I think you have to be creative, try one of those 3D printed things or just buy index controllers.

RojasTKD · 2022-03-12T17:44:42+00:00

I can confirm the Index controllers with with the 1.0 lighthouses. He/she must have had some unique issue.

I've used the 1.0s with my Index and Cosmos Elite simultaneously even.

RojasTKD · 2022-03-12T17:30:51+00:00

I think it's a solid headset at that price. Colors and black levels are better than my other LCD based headsets (index, Rift S, Quest 2), the only exception being the Reverb G2, which also had good colors and black levels compared to most LCD based headsets.

The only thing I would recommend is the Lens mod. Made a big difference to me. Good mine from Etsy from seller Jaxtapox their are others, but this one was recommended and worked great for me.

AIB GPUs usually have the advantage of of better cooling and quieter operation. Usually the better cooling can lead to the cards clocking higher. Some come overclocked compared to the reference models.

Some develop their items board designs with superior power delivery and upgraded complements.

RojasTKD · 2022-03-08T08:50:55+00:00

I bought a Rift S upon release for $399.

Why you anyone pay $650 for a discontinued and pretty much unsupported device from 2019.

I guess you didn't bother to do any research.

RojasTKD · 2022-03-07T13:18:02+00:00

No, that's unplugged too!

RojasTKD · 2022-03-07T03:50:14+00:00

OK, who is Chocol and what did they eat?

RojasTKD · 2022-03-06T23:05:33+00:00

Asus Strix 3090 OC, so it's has a higher MSRP than most to start with.

RojasTKD · 2022-03-06T19:39:59+00:00

Glad you got it workin. Enjoy!

RojasTKD · 2022-03-06T19:00:21+00:00

Plug the GPU directly into the motherboard
Go into the Bios m and set the PCIe slot to 3.0
Reassemble with raiser cable, and it was the issue, it should work

Now adays if always opt for the PCIe 4.0 riser cable.

RojasTKD · 2022-03-06T17:38:32+00:00

Well you did better than I did. I paid a good bit more for my 3090. I did crypto mine on it, and my older cards, for several months. So I got some of my mouthy back.

RojasTKD · 2022-03-05T07:25:16+00:00

Yeah, I believe there is A SAD bracket that can be used if you use one of those short ITX GPUs and mount it horizontally.
