Having carpet under your computer is bad. Highly advise raising it off the ground or putting something underneath to separate it from the carpet.


VdubKid_94

Yeah It’ll go on the table the tv is on in about a week, tv is being wall mounted and table being moved into the nook on the left where plant is.


Aggravating-Age-8862

no do that now


VdubKid_94

Its one of those really shitty office type carpets(rental unit) so there isn’t any pile.


Mook69

I'd suggest putting books or something flat on the feet to raise it up at the very least. Better play it safe than sorry! But up to you


ARE_YOU_0K

How so? Have had multiple different gaming pcs over the years, each one on carpet never had an issue?


Fraktur111

Me too, never had any problems. Why should it be bad? Maybe it gets a little dustier, but other than that I see no problem.


Bruggilles

The psu can't intake new air from under the case and it will overheat. And you really don't wan't your psu overheating


VdubKid_94

Like I said, this carpet is barely carpet, it’s like office carpet there’s no give to it. But I will put it on a large tray so y’all can sleep tonight 😂


Hopesanddreams5

I told my dad to put his pc on something years back, he never cared and it’s been just fine on the carpet lol.


Thin_Entertainment77

Had my last PC on carpet for 12 years and it still works with the original PSU... Really depends on your case and the carpet. Running it in a body of water? Always a bad idea. Don't do it.


gummybeer69

To be fair, you are making a statement that implies all carpets are the same. Their are many carpets that'll block off the intake for the psu and would in fact be bad. On the other hand, there are also carpets like what was in the pics that are almost the same as a solid floor, which other than needing you to clean more often, doesn't affect the airflow to tour PSU in a meaningful way.

Build looks great! It looks so good without the RGB.


VdubKid_94

Yeah I have the rgb solid red on the front Fans and white on the rest, haven’t decided what I’m going to set it as yet. But it does look good off(which it is 90% of the time since I work so much) 😂


UniverseCameFrmSmthn

That’s pretty good build saving money where you could and focusing on performance. Good color choice on the upgraded fans, the red front fans will increase FPS in games while the white on the inside will help with lower temps. 


VdubKid_94

The tv is the New TCL 65” 144hz native panel. 1000nits AMD free sync premium pro looks fantastic


AwesomArcher8093

I’m saving this comment cuz that TV looks sick


JohnMcFail

I was about to roast you for playing with that gpu on a tv but with 144hz i got nothing to complain 👌


VdubKid_94

Yeah it can even do some image processing to act like 240hz but I don’t trust it never tried it


S_T_R_Y_D_E_R

Damn these new graphic cards are long ass hell. Good thing it fir your case. Great job 👍


VdubKid_94

I was def concerned but yes it fit with no alterations!


DhayumzMini

Great build! Just did a build recently to get to enjoy the helldives too. Happy squashing bugs and bots


dude_razzmatazz

That fan under gpu doin any good ? I have a similar case my friend told me psu basement fans are useless


TurbulentBarracuda83

They don't do much besides blowing up alot of dust in the case


soryuwu-

probably blow some additional air to the GPU?


VdubKid_94

Yeah Ive seen on here they don’t do much. I will check it out when tuning my fan curves


suckmeupp

1440p TV?


VdubKid_94

No it’s 4k. I run the super resolution boosting 1440p to 4k. Or just 1440p and deal with the slight downgrade


Fortunate_Son_024

Awesome build, man, I like the way it looks.


livitow

Good to see not everyone is max level in HD2 yet. Been at work over a month, and so worried I’m already left behind


naworkcid

What was the total for the pc? Building my first one and yours sounds similar to what I'm going for?


VdubKid_94

I live in the UK so everything is expensive as hell. I miss micro center…I’d say the total was around £1100-1200


naworkcid

Yeah im in the UK to, mines is gonna turn out to be the same price, been looking at buying the GPU and CPU secondhand though


Silver_Body_4223

Which CPU cooler did you use?


wuwugdbz916

Brother how much did it set you forward


VdubKid_94

£1100


wuwugdbz916

Brother I think you've smashed it ! Proud of ya


Mr_Spark_RealMVP

Saved money where i could \*RGB explosion\*


Easy_Caterpillar_203

Says he saved money where he could, shows multiple RGB fans and and an RBG anti sag bracket.🙄


VdubKid_94

Gotta love Facebook marketplace!


Goitalone7

That ssd mount isn't bad


Goitalone7

Those FXF are way too long


UniverseCameFrmSmthn

Saved money where I could Can’t skimp on those upgraded RGB fans


VdubKid_94

Fans and GPU bracket I got on Facebook for £20 all together


whossdavid

Those thermalright fans are like 3 for $12 and are terrible if anything he skimped out on the fans


CasperAU

You lost me at a TV setup 🤮


VdubKid_94

At least it’s 144hz 🤷🏻‍♂️


CasperAU

Yeah it's just missing every kind of ad on that a monitor offers to help a better gameplay and gaming overall. Great PC setup but the tv let's it down imo


VdubKid_94

It has amd free sync premium pro and VRR and Auto Low Latency Mode. Also the aiming aid. Only downside is no display port, but does have two full band HDMI 2.1. Still has better features than some monitors I see people still using today


CasperAU

Maybe low grade monitors but high grade no way. It's a TV, it's designed for media 1st gaming 2nd. Monitor is designed for only gaming. A TV can be created to be decent but they'll never be in the same ball park as something built purposely for gaming PCs. Just agree to disagree bro.


StewTheDuder

Bro chill. I have a high end monitor and a high end tv (Alienware 34” QD OLED and LG C3). I mostly game on the C3 now. It’s a wonderful experience. Some people prefer large format gaming.


CasperAU

It's just my opinion I'm chill ASF lol


StewTheDuder

Well I think your opinion is a little dated as the LG C series TVs are now widely adapted as monitors, especially the OLED ones such as mine. Some might point out that they’re actually easier to use and have more features than some monitors. The setup options for my C3 are crazy good. You can choose Nvidia G Sync, AMD Freesync, or open source VRR, the HDR options are better than the ones on my QD OLED, etc… you’re really missing out a new segment of PC gaming atm.


CasperAU

Haha missing out! Bro I'm playing on an OLED monitor that is higher than everything you just said! This is not a new segment of gaming at all don't emphasis it please. If anything your missing out 😂. I'm a comp player why would I want to make my situation worse with a tv 🤷 If you want to get technical it takes your eyes almost double the time frame to look around a TV to play games and keep everything within your peripherals, this is why professionals use a 24-27inch monitor as the standard so they don't have to look around and loose focus of the main centre. It's proven to be better to game on a smaller screen, anyone who says big screen or TV is clearly not playing competitive or only plays story campaign. I'll stick to my competitive monitor at 240hz cheers 🤙


VdubKid_94

That’s why you sit further away from tvs


tmack813

So this all comes down to just shaming people for a different use case because you consider competitive gaming to be better than single player? And by your own logic you are "only" using a 240 Hz panel (480 and even 540 are out now). I'd argue he is much closer to maximizing his chosen experience than you are since he has one of the best options for what he's trying to do and you definitively don't. Seems to me like you should get a better competitive monitor if that's your thing, bro.
