[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[Oasis]

So my idiot friend (sorry MAP) told me to get this nVidia GeForce experience driver for my computer (my gpu is nvidia geforce gtx 960m), and ever since i've gotten it, it's been absolutely awful on my indie games. I want to get rid of the graphics driver and go back to my default graphics driver that came with the computer, but I don't know how to do that. anyone able to help?

Geforce Experience is not a driver.

well its put some sort of graphics driver on my comptuer that i dont want and now i want to get rid of it. its been installing these "graphics driver updates" periodically and its been screwing up my games and making things look weird and causing huge FPS drops on games that normally run fine. i need to get rid of them all and revert to the factory driver. how do i do that

its been installing this "nVidia GeForce Game Ready Driver" and this driver doesnt work well with my games.

Get a WD Blue instead of the Seagate Barracuda, get an Antec One instead of the Corsair and spend the extra money on a 750 ti, otherwise it's fine: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Chipskate/saved/#view=Th2MnQDrop the second HDD and get an SSD instead, drop the second 8GB RAM kit, get a graphics card that doesn't have a blower cooler, get a higher-quality power supply and maybe get a slightly less expensive motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Chipskate/saved/#view=MHpYcf

Some people get reference cards to avoid GPU's taking air in from the back of their case and bringing in dust.


My GTX 750 SC has this strange issue where its two fans seem t be bringing dust in from the rear grills of the case, in my case I need a reference design card.

Also my case has positive air pressure, X3 120mm fans in front, x2 140mm on top, and x1 120mm on the back, unless its the two 140mm fans that are causing this.

Why can't we just make a blower cooler but with two fans??

Mine's equal and dust buildup has been pretty minimal. I've got two front and one side blowing in and two top and one back blowing out. Great temps but my MSI 970 has a pretty thin heatsink so I've seen it get up to 82c, my thermal throttle threshhold. Playing games like CS:GO for hours it generally sticks around 65c.

EDIT: also you can probably just tape the back grill or put some air filtery material over it.

I used a wet/dry the other day on my PC to remove the dust. Took two seconds.

Yeah I could but I'm starting to worry the two top 140mm fans are causing negative pressure, been thinking about switching them out for two 120mm fans until I switch to custom liquid cooling over a AIO liquid cooler.

Are both of your top fans exhausts? Because they're creating negative pressure, and that's what's causing your dust problem, not your GPU cooler. Try disconnecting the forwardmost of the 140mm fans and see if that helps.

I have all of my fans (except the PSU fan) blowing air INTO the tower. The PSU fans blow air out of the PSU. Little to no dust. Try that.

So my GPU arrived way earlier than expected and so far I got this wonderful cheese grater functioning.  Sad part is, it isn't all that slow, in fact, the AD had it listed wrong, it is only 6gbs of DDR2 ECC RAM which is super cheap to get, and on Friday I will buy another HDD for it so I can install windows server and get some VM's running.

Both top are exhaust, I have one rear exhaust but a rad is covering it, and all three in front are intake.


Probably should of gotten two 120mm fans instead of 140mm, but the 120mm fans where out of stock.
Or what if I replace the three 120mm in the front with two 140mm fans?

had help, but here ya go

BUILD (has everything I want/need in it): http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hJZ3GX
NOT SPENT ON NEEDS: $550
NOT SPENT ON WANTS: $450
TOTAL NOT SPENT: $1000
TOTAL SPENT: $350
TOTAL: $1,350

TOTAL ITEMS BOUGHT: 11
TOTAL ITEMS: 19
FRACTION: 11/19

this is a rough estimate of how much it will be, so i will have enough $mula to buy stuff and i don't underpay

so if anyone was wondering or not, i almost have everything, i have $431.71 i just need like $120 and i will have enough money for everything

I really need to get more fans for my case, Ive been having some slight heat issues due to lack of airflow.

how many cases fans do you have?

[Ninja Decoy]

how many cases fans do you have?

2 in front, 1 on the bottom, 2 on my radiator for the CPU. I was an idiot and decided to move the fan fromt he back to the bottom in an effort to reduce dust by having 3 intake fans, however i for that i had carpet so my bottom fan isn't doing much. I need to moving my bottom fan back to the back and get a 140mm fan for the bottom, and then raise my computer or put it on a smooth surface so that i can properly use it.

you don't need more fans by the sounds of it, i would just move around some stuff so you have better airflow
