Wicked hardware. I nearly drooled on the desk cause of the ram. Huge fan of Ballistix Tracer memory. LED modded flashy lights always make my face do a blank look and I drool. Keep firing out the photos! |

Got everything installed and up and running without a single issue. Yes i know whats with the stock cooler, but I am waiting for my good one to arrive so this will have to do. I also plan on putting one of those Cooler master 200m fans in the top of the case where there normally are 4 120mm ones. I also have to do a quick mod to get my third gtx 280 in the bottom.

The ram was a special order through mysterybyte. Pricey though $286 but i have had tracer before and it was very good. These had no issue running at 1800mhz 24/7 |

Yeah I love the ram. It looks nice but it preforms really good as well, but i was expecting that because my previous ram was Ballistix Tracer and it was awesome. I tried ordering my board through MB as well but they couldn't get it so I had to order it online. I think the board is my favorite part. I can fit all three 280's in there and still have a slot for either a sound card or maybe a raid card. It also has USB 3.0 and Sata 3 are pluses also. It seems much better designed thermally than my striker 2 formula I had. The north bridge would heat up pretty bad when i overclocked on that board. With the p6x58d the north bridge temps are way better. Overall I am very happy with it. I still need a nice heat sink though. Anyone have any opinions on what I should get. Not a fan of the V8 or V10 so I have ruled those out already. Maybe a V6 GT when it comes out. I was doing some research and I found out that the average heatsinks like the freezer 7 are rated at 130 watts and the V8 and V10 are 180 and 200 watts. The ZALMAN CNPS10X EXTREME is rated online in several places at 340 watts! Does this ad up? Is it really that efficient? |

those numbers may be a little bloated but not by much. Ambient , the right compound and amount used and case cooling will all make the difference. Common sense really. I have the V8 and its the best cooler I have used to date, ( also amazingly quiet ) far surpases the freezer 7 - but yes its huge. I don't have any experience with the Zalmann but I would suggest reading several independant reviews and making an educated decision. Pretty much anything is better than stock in most cases. Very nice rig you have there - nice choices made. Very clean build -Keep up the great work! |
