SCREAMING FAST Water-cooled "Storm-Trooper GAMING rig" - my latest build.


Recommended Posts

Better start overclocking that i7! Mine's at 5 on my Antec 920. You should be able to get there (or at least close) on the Vantage. People are going over 4 on stock cooling. It's a joke to overclock.

1. Up the multiplier

2. Up the voltage to where it needs to go

3. Run Intel Burn Test

4. Run Prime95

5. Return to step 2 if unstable

6. ???

7. Profit!!!

wtf is lolcats?

I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers.

I was hoping for 150 :(.

I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt

nerd. really who builds computers.

ill tell you a cool ass story.

back in 07, i got a HUGE ASS bonus at work one year and also finished up one of chickens rides the same week.....i had SCRILL. I said "F" it and bought the sickest Alienware you could buy (at the time) because i didnt feel like building, i just wanted it ready to go for a change.

i never heard the end of it from the nerd community lol......and the Alienware is no longer an aAlienware. I still have it but its an SMD with an Alienware case. Its got all new mainboard, ram, GTX285 cards in SLI........the whole nine yards. Even the power supply. Not one thing is the same. Its still got an Alienware case though so the nerds still wont let me live it down haha.

at least now i have two WORTHY setups......but this one is by far my best.

Now you're speaking my native language Steve! Very nice choice of hardware going in there...what's your impression of the Patriot DDR3? I recently did a build somewhat similar to this, but used 16gb of GSkill DDR3 and was very impressed with how far it let me push it. Where you get that H2O cooling kit? Anyways, lets get some benchmark #s! Good job!

A few sites like Newegg and Tiger Direct had it but it's since been deactivated as far as I can tell.

just a generic wireless keyboard/mouse? come on now, steve. lol

edit - rest of the build looks amazing

actually im going to steal the one from my other "gaming rig" since i like it better and swap this one over to that one. I actually have always liked Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo's so this one isnt bad for $8O :pardon:

im not knockin it for everyday regular use. but for a more srs gaming use(depending on the genre of game), you just wont see as much benefit from generic wireless. what with response times, ghosting, sensitivity, etc.

but im assuming you'll be gaming ofc, and i think we both know what happens when one assumes :drink40:

i dont know yet, so far it feels VERY snappy just browsing around windows. Even the net seems faster for some reason.

what benchmarking programs are the best these days? It was "3dmark". I will be putting COD black ops PC on it and Crysis right away tonight. I will update on how it does later :D

oh and notice the wiring? this CASE RULES!!! Rubber grommits all over the place. I ran everything out of it and only what i needed back into it and then everything is hidden by the other side-door. Super clean!

oh to answer your question, i got everything at Fry's. I am a Fry's junkie, i admit it. I cant go in and NOT buy something. lol

3DMark 11 is the latest for DirectX 11. a few peeps still run 3DMark 06 and 3DMark Vantage for DX 9 and 10. Also, the Unigine Heaven Benchmark (I think it's on 2.5 now) is a great one to test higher-end cards with it's heavy tessellation. You won't have issues with 2 580's. My 6970 barely stutters until I crank tessellation.
