offtopic but nevertheless:

Merc14: I just can't imagine what dual watercooling loops look like, or even how it all works. (in love with air all my life). Got any pics?
 
Everyone is saying supreme commander is the new benchmark but my 8800gts + e6600 runs it full graphics 1680x1050 + 1280x1024

starts to lag just a bit when I get muh army ready for pouncing.


As for the OP it was a joke im sure. Nobody would waste 18k on a worthless gaming card, match it up with an incompatible system, then brag about it.
 
I had most of the parts. Just bought some Tygon tubing and a used DD5 pump. I was doing a new build, trying to use mostly used parts like the case and PSU etc. and decided that with a small investment I could do two loops. Found a DD5 pump and Tygon tubing cheap and incorporated it. I still have some clean up work to do but it will wait as I have been busy on other things. Also, I used extra tubing at critical places so i could swap parts in and out in the future. These are the pics from a blog I did on the Asus Independent site. It was a fun build and interesting experiment and I like the dual loop approach but I will be the first to admit it is overkill so please keep flaming to a minium.

Wow. Thanks for going thru the trouble of posting all those images.

So, if I understand correctly, one loop is for CPU exclusively, and the other's for VGA, NB, SB ?
 
looks great merc!

I have one problem when I mod computers... I am terrible with cable management... are there certain cases anyone recomends for cable hiding and such? I like to see as few as cables as possible.
 
I think the OP is just lying and trying to get the reaction from people that he has gotten. But, if he is stupid enough to believe that is Quatro Plex is the best gaming gpu he can buy, then let him spend the $18k and laugh at him later.
 
No problem as the photos were together already at another forum. Final config is the CPU on a DD5 pump, 1/2" ID loop with dual 120 rad mounted in the top of the case. Both chipsets and the GPU on an MCP 300 pump 3/8" ID loop with dual 120 rad hanging off the back.

I took a twisted path to the final config. My original SB block on the original build board (a P5N-E that was bad) couldn't fit 1/2" tubes so I was using a 120 Swiftech Ultra 3/8" ID kit to cool the chipsets and the 1/2" for the CPU. Ended up getting the Plus board while the P5N-E went through RMA and it wouldn't take the SB chip at all, so I ordered another MCW30 but it wouldn't fit well with the 8800GTS air cooler. :roll:

Sooooo I got an MCW60 for the GTS and the MCW30 fit fine but now I had a GPU and two chipsets on the 3/8" loop 8O . So I pulled my old Swiftech dual 120 rad out of storage and use it to cool the 3/8" loop. CPU has the 1/2" loop all to itself.

The result of all this swapping and changing was some really great temps on all the components. Had the GTS at 675/1.9 and max temp on the diode was 45c. CPU stays below 48c, just wish i could get it higher but it has hit a wall. I am looking at getting a faster, hotter CPU to take advantage of all that cooling i have on the 1/2" ID loop.
 
Hijacked. Thankfully.

I bet a million dollars he's just some bored kid trying impress people with his made-up wealth. No adult would talk like that as the value of money is learned and is greater the older you get. Even if you're rich, you still dont balk at things being "too cheap". I'm glad he failed so horribly so that he'll learn a lesson and not be so ignorant before making false claims about crappy hardware combinations. Really, we're doing him good so that he wont get beat up at school for being an annoying know-it-all only spewing bullhonkey out of his lying little mouth!
 
I don't know how e-penis makes any sense but how is this for a lying one

I didn't buy this for 18k I am not insane I found a really good deal on it but he took out the cards for his own use and I have yet to buy them. Although it is just like a computer you can put whatever pci-express cards you want in it and have an sli setup that only uses one pci-e slotand boosts the overall performance. The only reason I bought this is because I want to build a xeon system with these processors
xeon
they are the most powerful processor intel makes. The only chipset that works with them is the e8501 and supports up to 4 and also supports one pci-e x16 slot. Thats over 13Ghz and 32 cores with 4 processors. With the plex you cant deny that it would run some smooth graphics on a 30" lcd. As for not supporting dx10 I am hoping to find a good price for a fx-5600 or fx-4600 on ebay.
 
I would like to see some pics of that PC, just to be sure this is not just

ok, I give up... do you realize that your bragging loses more and more credibility... at the first page of the topic, your "killer PC" was a Pentium D 950.... 2 pages later it becomes a quad xeon... what will it be in 2 more pages ? will you buy an IBM BlueGene supercomputer ?

Anyway, just in case you are serious... 4 Xeon CPUs are useless for gaming... almost as useless as a Quadro Plex...
Games just start taking advantage of ONE dual core processor.
And actually, just like Quadro cards, workstation motherboards with Xeon CPUs are not made for gaming... but if you really have money to waste...

EDIT :

I almost forgot... your statement about drivers not influencing performance is definitely stupid... maybe you should take a look at recent articles about Intel IGPs or about the latest Catalyst drivers. I also remember when NV released its 40.xx drivers... my Geforce4's performance increased by about 20%.
In the specific case of Quadro drivers, they don't include the same optimisations as Geforce drivers, so that performance in games will be lower (some games won't even run correctly) and 3D apps like 3dsmax will have a better performance in the viewport, and will be able to use the GPU to speed up rendering (with the NV Gelato rendering engine)
That's it... now, at least, you have learned something about drivers... so your topic wasn't totally useless...
 
Sound unbelievable but now I have a quadro plex model 1 in addition to my custom built machine.

Pentium D 950
1 gig twin2x1024-5400ul
p5n32-sli premium
antec p180 case
550w antec HE
and the crown jewel quadro plex model 1 😀

Now I know I will thoroughly enjoy the directx 10 games 😛

1st - You don´t know crap about computers.

2nd- Somebody told you that the quadro plex model 1 costs about $17.000, assuming it's the best on the planet, and by some kind of magic it appeared under your desk (in your imagination though...)

3rd - You don´t know crap about computers.

4th - You have 8 years of age and the intelligence of George Bush (somehow you won't start WW3, which is good)

EDIT: it's not a real computer? SLI on one slot? :lol: man this keeps getting better



Is it just me or does that not look like the most powerful GPU in existence (serial port?) :lol:

Yes I can and I'm sure being the frugal customer that you are, you won't get ripped off :lol: :lol: :roll:

EDIT: Octo core? Wow :lol:

Enjoy your expensive slideshow player that only exists and will forever exist only in your mind :wink:

The 7140M is one of the Tulsa Xeons, so looks like you'd get 8 cores out of the 4 processors.

If you're going to spend crazy amounts of money - and I think many of the previous posters would advise against that - you could do better with say a pair of Clovertown Xeon 5355 for which Intel has a nice workstation motherboard, the S5000XVN which, yes, has a PCI-E x16 slot.

Not sure that any of this is actually relevant to your stated purpose of DX-10 gaming ....
 
If you still don't believe I own this look for any other pics posted on the net that arn't from the inquirer(they did a review with a pic of the system hooked up to a computer) or nvidia.com. Or I will take another picture which I dont really want to do because someone might use it for an ebay scam.
Its sound a little overkill yes, but I am trying to keep it under 8k in cost, which is fairly reasonable.
Sorry I didn't mean cores-physical processors.
I have been very intrested in computers all the way back to my pentium 75mhz, so I know a bit about computers.
I bought the pentium d 950 before it came out, it is a confidential processor, and I havn't wanted to upgrade just yet, maybe when quake wars and bioshock are released I will get a core 2 extreme.
And sorry it just seems to me that quadro cards will be what nvidia spends the majority of there time on. Why would they spend money on a complete different job for geforce, I think they incorperate the work done first with the quadro's into the ge-force.
 
Jesus this kid still doesn't understand does he? 8O :lol:

Oh my God, you are really dumb... But keep posting. We are enjoying it.
