teraformer · 11-04-2008, 01:45 PM

Here"s a pic.

ferg · 11-04-2008, 01:49 PM

Looking good, yeah ultrasharps are never cheap

Pimp · 12-04-2008, 10:32 AM

very very nice screen

but not sure on the desktop background lol I'm picking on little detail sorry.

btw how many fans you got on case??? that thing must be a dust collector lol and what is the case called?

teraformer · 12-04-2008, 08:32 PM

Hi Pimp, There"s 8x 120mm + 4x 80mm fans.
there all on speed control and set to slowest setting, The only very slight sound comes from the swiftech pump which is a very slight hum

.
With fan speed at 1100 rpm im not to concerned about dust collection. And with dual double bypass rads my temps are = CPU 24C MOBO 35C
8800GTX"s 47C top card 51C bottom card

teraformer · 12-04-2008, 08:47 PM

Oh Yea, Case is Mountain mods duality 18" cube case that supports two motherboards, But i just have one installed

Pimp · 13-04-2008, 10:59 AM

wow very nice I'm impressed, how much it cost you?

and what you got inside it?

teraformer · 13-04-2008, 06:49 PM

yeah i thought why i couldn't see your sig . o well you just have to wait

teraformer · 13-04-2008, 07:22 PM

Here it is then

cpu= Intel qx6850 Quad core extreme edition.
Mobo= Asus P5n32-E sli.
Memory= 4G/B Corsair 8500.
Graphics= 2x 8800gtx"s.
PSU= Silverstone 750 watt modular.
HD/Drives 2x W/Digital 250G/B in raid "0" + 500G/B W/Digital backup drive.
2x Zalman pro fan controllers (control over 12 fans)
Swiftech water cooling= CPU, Graphics via 2x double passthrough triple rads.
(Only negative is that north bridge is not water cooled as yet)
dinovo wireless keyboard
logitech g5 mouse
30" Dell tft
Altec lancing 5.1.sound ( to onboard sound)
10meg virgin broadband
That"s about it

Might as well throw it in = 3D mark 06 =16926
cpu multiplier up from 9 to 10 taking me from 3.0Ghz to 3.3Ghz. Will be downloading riva tuner so i can ramp up my vid cards. Hoping to reach close to 18000 marks

wow very impressive

can that 750W PSU really handle 8800GTX in SLi plus everything and all those fans???

Also how is your gaming on that 30" monitor, i mean can the two 8800GTX handle that resolution of 2560x1600 with high graphic settings in games????

teraformer · 13-04-2008, 07:48 PM

no probs with psu for power.
I play COD 4 @ 2560x1600 all at highest settings and it"s
awsome! played bioshock through maxed out- same!
Played crisis and i"ll have to admit it did pull my system right down to 17 f/p/s with fraps so was unplayable at 2560x1600
but that was on my pevious cpu, A dual core(can"t remember what it was now) Perhaps i"ll do a fresh set of benches when iv"e overclocked graphics cards.
But yea can play all games at highest res, Apart from games that are limited to lower res.

Pimp · 13-04-2008, 08:24 PM

yeah well Crysis is badly written so it will eat your system up

teraformer · 13-04-2008, 08:39 PM

I haven"t played crysis since cod4 has been out!
Even thought about givin it to a mate, As you say
it looks like another case of pushing a game out fast, so cutting corners on coding to get there money back sooner.
I exspect there"s been a shed load of patches since the release date to resolve problems that should have been sorted before going gold

teraformer · 13-04-2008, 08:45 PM

While im here. Thinking about having a second psu around 300watts just to run Watercooling and fans. It"ll take a bit of pressure of my main supply, Although it"s copping o.k.
It may start to groan a little when i start O/clocking.
Just an excuse to do something to mi p.c. really
