That looks great man, sweet set up you have.

BIGBC · 16 Apr 2010 at 02:26

All those stickers . . .

nice components anyway.

makamiso · 16 Apr 2010 at 02:28

Nice setup, just not a fan of the stickers but good case, thinking of getting it myself.

Locke · 16 Apr 2010 at 02:36

Sweet build, have fun

That iPhone camera is worse than I thought!

Schoieuk · 16 Apr 2010 at 02:53

hehe ye, i only put the stickers on coz i though i might aswell

And i only have the iphone 3g, the 3gs and the new 4g (when it comes) is a lot better

RJC · 16 Apr 2010 at 06:49

Nice setup

Amakuma · 16 Apr 2010 at 07:13

With two 5870's it should destroy everything!!!

David41 · 16 Apr 2010 at 09:49

£700 worth of graphics cards! I wish I was that brave. How are they for temps and noise?

rumble291 · 16 Apr 2010 at 09:56

Thats a lush build man! Bet that's a beast when gaming! Nice overclock too, what temps you getting under full load?

iPhone camera is shocking. I've got a 3GS and its crap, a blackberry 3.2Mega Pixel camera is so much clearer than mine, blackberry next I think ha.

stickers are tacky and your camera skills are pap....get a decent camera.

nice build by the way.

i like my stickers!

But yer thanks for the nice comments otherwiese :>

And as for the comment about £700 on Graphics.. I get NON-VAT as i am part of a business aswell as being a partner of Sapphire, Western digital and antec (these are mainly support based but some discount here and there also)

So if u will beleive it or not the total cost for the build was only £1650

So i currently have the i7 930 at 4.0GHZ and temps are as follows:

CPU IDLE - 31 C - 34 C

CPU 100% LOAD prime 95 - 65 C - 68 C

CPU Battlefield bad company 2 Gaming - 53 C

Vision set up- Samsung P2370 Monitor 1 - Samsung P2370HD T.V/Monitor 2

So i have 2 screens at 1900x1080

Graphics card No.1 Idle - 36 C (Fan Speed of 40%)

Graphics card No.2 Idle - 19 C (Fan Speed of 40%)

Graphics Card No.1 Load 68 C (Fan speed of 50%)

Graphics card No.2 Load 50 C (Fan speed of 50%)

GPU No.1 during BFBC2 58 C (Fan speed of 50%) Note: If you check the isnide of my case pics, you should be able to see a small fan that is covering my Graphics cards.
That is the Stock Cooler fan for the i7 930 that i have modded to fit directly on top of my 3 GPU's and i got a -10 C drop

GPU No.2 during BFBC2 45 C (Fan speed of 50%)

8800 GTX Idle 15 C

8800 GTX Load 45 C

Case temp - inside case temp (Depending on the day and fan speeds)

Between 5 C and 10 C and havent seen them higher.

Game FPS 1900x1080 max setting with AA at x4 - Call of duty 4 i am getting a lol 1200 (ish) fps it fluctuates a lot . A nice steady 250 fps with the mod.

BFBC2 i still need to check but i know it above 120.

L4d2 i get 60 constant (as far as i know thats the cap?)

I can test some other games if any one askes

Windows 7 scores-

Processor: 7.5

Ram: 7.5

Graphics 7.9

Gaming Graphics 7.9

Primary HDD 7.5

Note: If you check the isnide of my case pics, you should be able to see a small fan that is covering my Graphics cards.
That is the Stock Cooler fan for the i7 930 that i have modded to fit directly on top of my 3 GPU's and i got a -10 C drop

As i am sure you would know having 3 cards sandwiched togeather like that produces a lot of heat so other than the CPU fan cooling the graphics i also have 2 fans attached the the side of my case directly above the GPU's also and result: very low temps :>

if any one wants any more info just ask

imamosher · 16 Apr 2010 at 12:17

nice components

Krellor · 16 Apr 2010 at 16:25

Pretty nice, from what I can see. Think I need new glasses tho, those pic are awful.

Schizo · 16 Apr 2010 at 16:33

you saved loads on that build with no vat............now get down to a shop and buy a nice digital camera

UKDTweak · 16 Apr 2010 at 16:38

Nice build, terrible picks don't do it justice

Stickers look worse than the shopping list on some chav's 106

From your picks, does not look like you put your 8800GTX in, as the H-50 is sitting over the last PCI-E slot?

L4D2 FPS looks like you have V-sync enabled in game?

Over all... very impressive build, well done, wish I had the cash to build a monster like that

ye that was before i put the 8800 gt in ill post pic of the finished deal with an opened case at some point wen i can be bothered...

And ye mabey the Vsync is the porblem but it looked great so i am not complaining

UKDTweak · 16 Apr 2010 at 17:09

I would imagine that even with V-sync on, L4D2 is not too demanding and you probably get a constant 60FPS in it so not to worry

Ryan-3 · 16 Apr 2010 at 19:11

I hate my iPhone camera, in the total wrong place +always got red photos if your indoors

Still, the builds looking very nice indeed
