i was only able to squeeze out 1722 score on heaven with max settings. 1.212v with a +250/+300 on the overclock on my classy 780ti. Anything more and it became unstable and i dont feel like raising the voltage passed that.

Thought I might share since a long time ago in a web browser not so distant the community of Tom's Hardware helped me build the amazing rig I have today.

There is now an SSD inside along with the 2TB drive and also, look at that cable management 😀

Will do and thanks, it was truely your guys' doing!

There's some good hardware in that case! What model Antec PSU is that, what CPU, mobo, and GPU? I like it!

 

[stickg1]

I just got done sleeving and testing my GPU cables. I haven't routed them the way I want to yet or anything, just a test fit.

 

[veladem]

x'D

CPU: AMD FX-8120
GPU: Diamond Radeon HD 7970 Ghz Ed.
PSU: Antec 750 80+ EarthWatts

No clue what benches would look like as I've never done any xD
MoBo: MSi 990XA-GD55

Wish I had the dough right now for water cooling xD That looks BA man!

Wait till I get the water block installed! On my way to the post office now!

C.A.Ts all next week 🙁

 

[Mirakledba]

Allan - Sorry man :c Must suck. But im homeschooled and my dad paid for term 2 a bit late so I get 1 MONTH OFF 😀 In the end, its worth it allan. Although I had only 3 DAYS of finals and each day 2 finals....it was worth it.... <3

Also, I noticed a moderator changed my post above. Sorry. Wont happen again 🙁 Just got excited...

 

[CptBarbossa]

Here is my build. Just completed about a month ago. Just did some cable management cleanup today.







CPU - AMD A10 6800k
Mobo - ASRock FM2A75M PRO4+
GPU - Crossfire HD 7770
RAM - 8 gigs (2x4)
SSD - 128 gigs
HDD - 1TB
CPU Cooler - Coolermaster 101a
PSU - Corsair cx600m
Case - Fractal design core 1000

Best thing about this whole setup is the size. That is the smallest case I could find which rocks for mobility. Had to go with that a10 because this is the only mobo with pci express slots in the 1 and 3 position for my crossfire. Hope you all enjoy.

Full cost of this build is just under $800.

 

[Lutfij]

I really like how you've managed to build it that way. I've seen a lot of folks with the core 1000 but most of them have had it jam packed.

Love it
:jap:

 

[jeremyp79]

Here is my system, somewhat complete. I've got all the hardware I'm going to use, just changing to this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146149, got it pre ordered, now just to wait the 10 days or so for it to get released, and I think I'll finally be done, for now at least 😛



this was taken before I got my SLI bridge :-/

 

[nukemaster]

It looks like all exhaust. Do you have any fans as intake? Or is the side panel ventilated?

 

[Lutfij]

Yeah good catch nukemaster, the front fans should always be set to intake as that's where cooler air tends to be(at the bottom).

Veladem - I found your avatar funny - that's what always happens with DIY builders on first roll out.

 

[tiny voices]

CptBarbosa, I love your build. Something about a relatively small and simple build really gets me. I would always rather look at a clean simple build with mid-range budget minded hardware than some $3000 watercooled tri 780 SLI thing. Those are cool but the fact that they are so unattainable for most makes them unappealing. Same reason I don't really like super cars as much as most people.

 

[jeremyp79]

Wow, I can't believe I missed that, I indeed do have intake fans on the side of my case, but the white LED on the top should be facing the other direction. Somehow I have one as intake and one as exhaust. There are also intakes on the front of the chassis which I have basically made useless :-/

 

[CptBarbossa]

Thanks Tiny. Obviously I would love to have a 3k rig, but this does far more than I will even need it to and you cant build a 3k rig in a case that size.

I always look for ways to improve the appearance without throwing money at special cables or LED's. Its more of a sleeper computer in my mind.

That's exactly why I love it. I would rather have a normal looking g35 with a big single turbo kit that makes 750hp, than a Lamorghini any day. The g35 would be more than likely faster too.

Really nice Stick. I'm about a month behind you. I'm moving back to Canada from Japan, so selling my current system then building a new one, can't wait! Going liquid cooling this time and will be attempting to bend my own acrylic tubing. Could be a nightmare, could turn out great, but I'm excited.

 

[CptBarbossa]

Got any pictures of your build Tiny?

For the record I really don't like the h60 at all, but I got it for $17 refurbished and open box so I figured I would try it out. With Corsair SP 120 Performance Edition fans in push pull, it cools no better than a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO on the same fans.
