Got that 2nd 5870 in the case now. 😀 Still got alot of cable management to do. A buddy of mine may let me borrow his dremmel tool so I might be cutting some cable management holes, a side panel window and the fan slots out for better airflow.

Also got some goodies at Walmart last night. Plan on painting this bad boy soon enough.. 😛

Niceee! Good luck with the case mods!

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Yup, cables looking good, although I know you'll move things around once you've done painting,
looking good man,

Had to return the ASUS motherboard. Only 1 DIMM slot worked. Just installed an MSI P67 motherboard. Added a Sentry 1 Fan Controller. Pics to follow shortly

 

[cmcghee358]

Didn't have any that weren't open box or just trash. All I got was store credit so...

Man, I want AMD to come up with something in the CPU market, I love supporting underdog but AMD's BD isn't making this easy on me. They better come up with something.

Maybe that's why you are keeping your 965BE? XD Supporting the glory days-ish.

I have finished my build, will put up pictures now that the Graphics card is installed.
What is the best program to use for real world benchmarking/testing after an overclock?

 

[toneekay]

I use these:

MSI Kompbuster
Unigine Heaven
3DMark11

You sure have a lot of those cable/wire things in your rig hehe

Yeah, I haven't really spent the time to tie everything back and whatnot but they aren't blocking much, if any air flow so it's pretty moot to me.

How is the speaker set-up working for you? They make monitor look smaller than it probably is.
As Moto said, there are a lot of cables and the only ones I see disrupting airflow are the PCI-E cables to the video card. I also noticed you used a zip tie to hold the front fan.

I replaced the satellites that came with the Z-5500's with my own and they do dwarf the 23" monitor but they sound much better in my opinion. I actually have 4 of the large speakers (2 are behind me) and a small bar speaker below the monitor and behind the keyboard for the center channel.

The cables are all against the back of the case and not blocking air flow, I guess I could bend the PCI-e cables a bit more but I don't really feel like it. The zip-tied fan is there for the GPU, it pushes the hot air from the GPU out of the back.

I love how alot of us have the Xigmatek CPU Coolers. : 😉

 

[thorox]

I don't know about you but I am looking forward to seeing some builds with the new Phantek coolers :3

I would have bought the white/silver one but already had the NH-D14 for a couple of months.

I though the same a few months ago after seeing a review on youtube. Those coolers are HUGE!
