My upcomming computer will be those components:
Case: Coolermaster HAF 932
PSU: Corsair HX850W 80+ silver
RAM: 24 GB Corsair Vengeance (6x4GB) 1600Mhz DDR3
CPU: Core i7-960 3,2Ghz LGA 1366
CPU cooling: Corsair Cooling Hydro H50
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth X58 S 1366
GPU: MSI N460GTX HAWK 1GB TwinFrozr II (2 in 2x16x SLI mode)
HDD: WD Velociraptor ICE 74GB 10000 RPM (2 in RAID 0)
Windows 7 PRO 64
Logitech Z-5500 Digital 5.1 speakers
Got the HDD for 2 years ago, never used before. Otherwise I had get a SSD.
Do you think my rig will work for say 10 years, besides the HDDs? Have I choosed good quality components or is there some parts that is reported buggy? I am aming for a silent computer with a noise span at 12-25 db, case fans sounds up to 19 db, know the GPUs is sounding 18-40 db, but besides that, is this as silent it can be?
With this very large RAM size, working in tripple channel (in reality dubble tripple channel or?) and with 1+1GB GPU memory as I run in 2x16x SLI mode, will I be able to stop/inactivate windows viritual memory usage of the much slower HDD memory for good? Will the system run with speed even if I do this? How much raw "data power" will be "lost" if inactivating this (very very old) system memory handling function?
Is the "big rig system" watercooling dead by now? I mean those watercoling systems that you have the pump outside the case and install pipes to the CPU, northbridge, southbridge, graphic cards and RAMs and then back to the pump and liquid case/plate. In my point of wiew almost in a modern computer is allready water/liquid-cooled. The motherboard have a big on-board watercooling system in the surroundings of the CPU and bridges. The two MSI graphic cards have a major extended system of water/liquidcooling and heatpipes and two fans. My CPU cooler is also watercooled and blows out the heat with a fan on the top of the case. The case itself have very effective aircooling with 3 230mm fans and one 140mm fan on the back. It will blow much air over the motherboard and then out. Even my RAMs have both cheramic heat absorbers and heatflenses that will be cooled by the case airflow. Is there really any meaning with "big rig system" watercooling anymore? Will use the motherboards own "automaticly" overclocking feature to make a soft but stable overclock, but not do it manually. Is there any reason to look for watercooling for just the RAMs? What product will I need to buy if I want to watercool my RAMs? Dont you have to get a special motherboard and RAM-sticks for this such of cooling? So, is the big system watercooling days over if you dont want to overclock as hell as to say?
Please give me every possible info and arguments that I may am in need of to hear. Would you have choosed another product if you were in my place? Have no experience at all in disable windows viritual memory, whats yours? All you watercooling PROs/hardcore overclockers, what have you to say of my ideas? Please show mercy...
