We Bought a $150 Custom Loop Gaming PC....

Testing the $150 Custom Loop PC we bought on trade in, specs seem to be very old but can be a fun way to restore a once crazy gaming pc. We are going to put some decent money into this custom loop to make it actually good… Will it even be worth it?

My brother has one of those cases, he got it with a GTX Titan XP ... the Star Wars version (Dark side). I actually have a GTX Titan, the original one, best way to describe it today is it would be a GTX 790. It runs, but DX11 and blower card only... so basically it runs at 70C, and it works on most games, but nothing that requires DX12.

Indeed, because it is literally worth 75 to a 100 dollars. i7 2600 costs 5 bucks, the mobo 15, the RAM 15, the GPU 40 and 25 for the rest of the crap. And it will only play older games on decent levels..... To put in another 200 on top of the 150 they paid for it's crazy,and stating someone could buy it for 400 is mental.

I see people complaining how 150 is low for this, have in mind, a Titan is just a 6gb card which performs the same as a 1060 in a lot of titles...and because of driver support, many games won't even work with the Titan. So 150 for a 4c/8t CPU, 16gb of ram, 120gb ssd, 1tb hdd and a card that is not even a 1060, 150 is a decent deal, 10th gen i3s which perform better than this i7 go for 25-30 bucks, with motherboards costing the same, using a 1060 you could replicate this build but better for 200 with some patience and deal hunting.

Its fairpriced yet underpriced at the same time. If it was a dell xps with a i7 2600, 16gb of ram and like a gtx 770 $150 would be about right. This machine has a bunch of overkill components that really should have been parted out.

I wonder if you could use dxvk translation layer so the titan gpu can use vulkan to render games instead

@snakeplissken1754 Ай бұрын

Spot on. Nowadays entry level hardware is already running circles around this old high end build. Also... custom watercooling systems do not age well when it comes to resell value. It always means a lot more work and problems to deal with.

@Conumdrum Ай бұрын

It looks cool and I like it. It would be fun to have it as a secondary PC. It's a 2nd gen i7 and a 1080 is a better GPU than the Titan. So, it's just an acquainted PC with little to offer but conversation. The PSU is good but the GPU is missing the original fans. Who would build a newer custom loop and install that GPU?

SP's us launch was in 2011, so while I believe that drive is newer than the PC, it doesn't have to be. Also... I have a SSD drive that has an IDE interface... it is fun to play with. It also proves that commercial SSD's are much older than you think. For specs it is a 128GB drive, and when new it ran about $10k.

Somethings off with the loop, most ek gpu blocks you don't use all four of the inlet/outlet ports. I have a titan x block from ek and if you run it like this there would be a limited amount of pressure to push the water through the gpu block (path of least resistance). You should cap off one of each side (top one side bottom other side) and it should come out of the cpu block and go into a radiator.

@taylorouellet7068 Ай бұрын

@Ethang2489 the difference between single channel memory and dual channel is that single channel memory uses only a single stick of memory. And the integrated graphics in an i5 2400 is actually the intel hd 3000. So it's much slower graphically. So much to where it's actually holding back the cpu and if it it just single channel memory, You are losing up to 20% performance on the cpu. Add in any low power gpu such as the gt 1030 2gb gddr5. You will see a huge increase in performance. It will go from lagging on KZfaq to being able to do some light gaming
