New rig

[Don Carlos]

I got an OEM chip as I have a Titan Amanda which can cool the world

[Lieutenant Dan]

Nice, enjoy

[Don Carlos]

Ok I think is this a pretty ninja machine, but I can't be sure

I need some 3d mark 2011 results people

New version of 3d mark - pretty happy with that

you just want to wiggle your dick around, understandable

[Captain]

He asked for 3dMark results. Take your little toaster oven and leave this thread, polack.

Actually I didn't really notice much difference in the games I was playing. I know it's a good machine, but I dont know how good.

Mazda - quality score! I'll see if I can't get closer to you once I've played with over clocking

[Captain]

You'll see some decent gains from your 970 but I've never been a fan of the EVGA reference coolers and you might have to watch out for overheating. After the EVGA 580 I had, I'll always stick with MSI's Twin Frozr

with this place being almost dead you might wanna try Techreport those guys will boggle your mind

[Captain]

Doesn't seem to work with SLI. Second card is running in 2D mode in the benchmark.

Nah - I am good for now. I know this is good enough to run most things well so I am happy. Maybe when I need to start OCing to keep up with stuff I will have a word with them about water cooling etc

[Captain]

Just snagged an Intel 530 series 480GB SSD for $270. NCIX sales are awesome.

[Don Carlos]

I'd like a 960GB SSD so I could load all my Steam games on it...

[Don Carlos]

CPU temps are crazy high under load. Going water cooled with a Coolmaster H80i

[Don Carlos]

Ended up getting a H50 as that's all they had, but it's still like nothing I've ever used. Idle temps are 20+ degrees lower that with my previous cooling method. Mind blowing stuff.

I'll get a h100i before summer time to ensure it's as cool as it can be.

[Captain]

I've never used watercooling. I bought a Noctua NH-D14 that keeps CPU temps ~60-65C on full load. Idle is 40 on an i7 OCed from 2.8 to 4.0GHz

[Don Carlos]

i7's run much much cooler than the FX 9590. Check out the power usage on the thing....

I love Noctua products, can't recommend them enough.

[Captain]

Ordered an Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark2, i7 4790K and Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8GB 2133 RAM. I'll see how well it runs before I try OCing the 4790K, but temperature-wise it should be close to what I have with the i7 930. Bonus is that my Noctua cooler will fit LGA1150.

[Don Carlos]

Just ordered a Corsair Obsidian 550D case for te quiet running goodness after I tested this current box and it churns out 54dbs of sound at 5 feet and 68dbs from 3 inches. No more of that, thank you

[Captain]

I was looking at that but I'm not a fan of the office cabinet look of the Obsidian series. I went for the Graphite 780T instead and love it.

Super quiet at full speed, but that also has a lot to do with the components inside. The built-in fan controller is great because I can set it to the lowest speed at the touch of a button if I'm torrenting. Really easy to clean thanks to the removable dust filters, but it also stays a lot cleaner than my Coolermaster HAF 932 ever did. That thing was a dust magnet.

[Don Carlos]

Nice

Hopefully the final piece of the puzzle will be here on Saturday - my Kraken x61
