"Lorax" Haha. Shin, they are both currently up on eBay atm I'll get $400 for the pair the way things are looking hopefully. Looking to get away from crossfire issues and migrate to a single card. 7970 (if price falls like I think with the release of the 680) Or a 680 if they are $499-$550 or so.

Haha my bad thorox, I was thinking about the movie when I typed your name ssince I was like "oh a r and x" haha. I think you should get a single 7950 to save money. that looks so promising specially overclocking. That or yeah you could see how the 680 does.

 

[thorox]

Well as I'm sorta a vsync freak I'd want to be at 60 FPS almost always in more games now in 1080p. So I shall see what we are offered.

This is my first build, the cable management is not too good.

techtte, that mobo is dwarfed by that case xD Anyways, unscrew the mobo and feed some of your cabes behind it for a clean look. (only thin cables such as SATA etc, too thick may bulge out the mobo.

Cable ties are your best friend. 😀

 

[gcmartini]

Nice build Tech. What CPU ya runnin'?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

@Techtte,
I'd consider moving yours an inch or two away from the wall, let it breath easier 🙂
Moto

 

[techtte]

@gcmartini I'm using an i7 2600k overclocked to 4.2
@motopsychojdn I don't know how it seems to be in the picture, but it has enough space really. About 1/3 of a meter in the rear and about 2 inches on the side (there are no vents there).

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Aah yes, optical illusion on pic 2, looks like the rig is about an inch from the wall,
I think Eileen36 was talking to Malmental with that comment

Linus from ncix Has tested a GTX680 against all the current top of the line cards including 590,580,570, 7970 and the dual GPU AMD card.
680 is fairly impressive especially with the first driver.

 

[aznshinobi]

Well I've seen the reviews, the 680 is the best single pcb card out. I do think Kepler's 560 Ti replacement could be interesting.

 

[Lutfij]

what part of that is hard to understand.?

you just answered your question... its a kid with lickerish stuck between his teeth

 

[Lutfij]

thas paper weight mate. might just take an xspc rasa kit if only cpu

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Mal going wet? awesome hehe, yup, real loop mate, not all in one LCS,
we can't let you do that to yourself 😛
Moto

 

[mjmjpfaff]

ya air coolers offer better performance at the same price.
I have heard a lot of good things about this cpu cooler- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835146011

 

[rufus_22]

sweet looking and huge..

Ya thats a nice unit . Just double check your case dimensions ( cuz its big ) and be aware that some types of ram won't clear

[Motopsychojdn]

[moon261]

Thanks!
Moon

 

[Motopsychojdn]

You've got till the weekend to tidy those cables up 🙂
Nice job though, especially for a first build
Moto

 

[moon261]

Yeah I noticed regarding the cables.

I did opened another thread on:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/340665-31-questions-cable-managements

regarding this very topic. That was the picture taken after attempted the cable management for the third time lol. I'd welcome any tips and tricks that do not involve drilling holes in my case =)

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Hehe /agree 😛
besides, only some of my tips involve drilling holes, theres angle grinding, snipping, using pliers to bend panels, erm I'll stop now,
it is a great looking rig as I said, but if/when you want invisicables....
