Thread: turtle's new pc

  1. Default turtle's new pc

    i may not have spent as much money as zero did on his, but this build should last me a couple years... these are the major pieces:

    1. GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD4P LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128374

    2. CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139006

    3. OCZ 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227375

    4. 2x Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136319

    5. Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115202

    6. Antec 1200 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...k=antec%201200

    7. EVGA GeForce GTX 285 1GB - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130442


    End note... just a disclaimer that there will be some serious PEW'ing on all of your faces in the very near future...

    Very nice, what sort of cooling you got on that cpu it can be overclocked quiet well, at minimum you should be able to get up to 3.2 with ease.

    Also at least yours currently works...



  3. Cool

    Awe...
    Poor Zero

    either nocuta or cooler master...
    or i can go cheap and get the S1283V

    FYI neither of those are highest performers. For a listing of heatsinks ranked by cooling capacity when there stock cooling fan is removed (so they all are cooled by the same fan) see the following link: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article30-page1.html

    Logically 775 can be used in i7 also they have recently reviewed a cooler that was made for i7. Personally I would only do WC if I am OCing and thus have not studied the HT with regard to OC ability but rather silent cooling ability for my HTPC that I am making this summer.

    I would like to add that mounting systems tend to make a big difference in air coolers on the hi-end. This is because the HTs them selves tend to get very simular leaving major performance differences up to details such as contact pressure and the construction methodology of the HT.

    The xigmatek i was thinkin about getting got some pretty good reviews
    the S1283V (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835233029)

    I GOT THE SAME RIG!!!!!!!!

    BUT!!! with a EVGA 295GTX OC
    PC SPECS:

    Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366

    GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5 LGA 1366 Intel X58 3 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 support 3 SLI/ 3 ATI crossfire

    CORSAIR XMS3 3GB (3 x 1GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) 9-9-9-24 Memory

    EVGA 295GTX OCed

    I can say that that cooler will not allow you to oc and will be a lot lot louder than 30db like they claim. I would bet the sound at more like 40db and that is not compensating for turbulence caused by the HT also, actual CFM is more around 60cfm at best. I have an extensive chart that estimates real world fan performance from box specs so there is a method to these claims. If you want a heatsink that is going to let you OC, you need one that has more than 3 heatpipes a large surface area and great mounting pressure. I may have misphrased my previous post resulting in you misunderstanding importance of mounting pressure and those other things. I was not saying those are minor detailes to be overlooked. I am saying those are HUGE detailes to be wearry of. If you want to overclock you must take these factors into accound in order to ensure that you can squeez out the most bang for your buck.

    I might be able to help more if you can answer the following...
    How loud do you want the computer:
    How much money can you speed on cooling:
    How much do you want to overclock:
    How long do you want it to run for:
    How long do you want the computer to work:
