5.0ghz is mostly overclocker dependent

It really just depends how far like you're willing to push your chip!

 

[infidus]

haha! I am currently doing some reading on overclocking, would love to get it above just 4Ghz!

 

[Chris Light]

First post, thought i'd share my new build...first build.

Standard fare these days:

i7 2600k
Asus P8P67-Pro
Coolermaster Hyper212+
Corsair TX650 PSU
8GB Corsair XMS3 1600mhz 1.5v (2GBx4)
Coolermaster Gladiator 600 Case (old, i know, but i like the simplicity)
Crucial M4 64gb SSD Boot
2x Caviar Blue 1tb Media/Render Drives
nVidia GT 430 (editing on Sony Vegas...no need for fancy GPU)
Windows 7 Home Prem 64-bit
HP 2311x 23" LED 1920x1080 Monitor

Modded the case for a view.

1x Blue CCFL
1x Logisys 5-LED Lazer
Duplicolor Vinyl Paint for some of the cables (White)
Split-Seam cable cover for other cables. Too lazy to re-sleeve, and the cable management on this case is tough.

@Chris Light: Very nice build...

@Chris Light: Very nice build...

thank you sir!

 

[striker410]

Wow.... That's super pretty. I have a question chris, what's that cale running from the back PCI (unattached to mobo) to the front of the case? I can't figure out what it is....

 

[Chris Light]

Thanks striker! The cable I think you're asking about is the additional USB 3.0 inputs w/backplate included with the P8p67 Pro mobo. It plugs into the mobo near the bottom right corner of the last stick of RAM. I painted it white, that's all.

Hey guys, my turn to join in the fun, I don't have any fancy water cooling (maybe in the future), but let me know what you guys think!

My first ever build, built it last week, specifications in my signature!

Here are the cards... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130651

My GTX 560 Ti's are the original version ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130610 ), so the above link is the newer ones.

 

[newbie1992]

Yep Tecmo34 got it, it's the DS version of the superclocked gtx560ti

Here's where I got mine

[newbie1992]

@cia24 I love the green lights =] and I wish I had water cooling =[

 

[saint19]

My GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II runs overclocked at 57°C max with Heaven DX11

 

[tecmo34]

Other rigs I could post part by part, I have an 990x 980x 2x gtx 295 coop, 2x 5970's sapphire. The list goes on, I need to sell stuff but I really dont want to.

Or...

You can work with Joe (Our Community Manager) and setup a contest / giveaway for our members 😀 This way you can get a nice tax break (assuming you live in the US :lol: ).

 

[ChromeTusk]

Not as awesome as other rigs here, but I'm happy with it...

Currently sits on the floor until I get a new desk.

Forum link: Just want honest opinions on my build.

 

[striker410]

My opinion is mad sexy! I would have spent a little more on the GPU, but whatevs.
What kinda specs are we looking at?

Finally adding my reply. Specs are in my signature.

I have since cleaned up the wires some.

A little blurry but it gives the general idea of the smoked acrylic window mod

A justifiable excuse to show off the set up in the background and Betsy!

A nice dark pic

And finally the full Eyefinity shot with the Ambient lights going strong.

 

[saint19]

Nice build cmcghee358

 

[tecmo34]

I agree with saint19... Nice build cmcghee358

 

[cmcghee358]

Thanks! All I need now is a quality keyboard and maybe another 5870 and I'm set for YEARS. Oh and a BD CPU for my birthday in August!

 

[saint19]

Yeah, my 560 Ti looks like a mouse inside the HAF X.
