I dont post on here often, but when I do its normally to do with a pc upgrades to ask for advice from the guru's. I always get good advice etc etc...

After building a quad core setup for a friend not so long ago, I was blown away by the performance and decided I had to have something similar. Now this rig is getting old, but still performs well. My general consensus is to double the performance of the old one before I upgrade. So I have decidied that this is going to be the rig...

Product Name Qty Price Line Total
Asus Rampage II Extreme Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard

Corsair 6GB DDR3 Dominator PC3-12800C8 1600MHz (3x2GB) Triple Channel DDR3 (TR3X6G1600C8D)

Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail

Corsair HX 1000W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-1000HXUK)

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM (66I-01939)

Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache x2 - OEM (HD103UJ)

TFC Xchanger - Double Radiator 240

XSPC Dual 750 Bay Reservoir & Pump - Clear

EK Supreme i7 Clear Top (Socket A,754,939,AM2,478,LGA775 & LGA1366) CPU Water Block

Asus DRW-20B1ST 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer Rewriter (Black/Silver) -

Feser One UV Reactive Coolant 1 Litre (Blue)

Feser Tube Black 3/8 - 1M Length

Alphacool Tubing Cutter (4-14mm hose)

Akasa SATA-2 60cm Blue UV Data Cable

EK 1/2" Hose fitting

All of this to pop into my antec 900, with an 4870x2 waiting to go. Hopefully this will make my current rig look very old :D

AmD x2 4400+ SKT939 (toledo core), 2GB Crucial Ballistix, 2xMaxtorDiamondMax 10 32mb 250gb, Asus A8N32-SLI deluxe, Enermax noisetaker 620w, BFG7900GTX OC.

Hopefully all will be here tommoz... watch this space for the case mods :D
 
the rres is obviously clear so the liquid will be seen... the black tubing was the only one i could find at that size.... i sourced some clear :D

Wont be putting it in for awhile yet, modding the case and a few things first before i get to play :D
 
I need a "this thread is useless without pictures" smiley lol ;)

Get it up and runningmate and join the elite i7 club, they run hot when clocked to make sure your fully bleed the radiator before clocking.

But 4Ghz on that set up shoudl be easy mate @ 1.375 - 1.4V but expect temps to be around fully 70°c loaded with HT on at 1.4v @ 4Ghz
