Lots and lots of patience xD took me about 2-3 hours of cable tidying (long than it took for my to make my whole build whilst it's being cooled on air) plus I guess it's a practise makes perfect scenario? xD

[Roalith]

I know where to come when I've won the lottery!

 

[tamzzy]

[Kurisu Makise]

makes me want to go mental and spend 5k on a pc... but then i realise i dont have that kind of money just for a pc

Our technical team did a great job of overclocking the cpu and memory and had the bundle on test overnight to ensure that it was nice and stable before we even installed it! 4.6GHz easily achieved with temperatures looking really good. Perfect for an ultra high spec system.

ty ty xD

Build looked great mate glad you are happy stelly

 

[Stelly]

Very few people need a seperate RAID controller, let alone back up for the cache, thats why its an optional addon lol.
Obviously this is in preperation for the next WoW expansion!

how did you guess??

Stelly

 

[GeX]

Impressive. Can I ask why you opted for a battery backed RAID controller rather than a flash backed one?

[Clav]

Fixed, still very impressive build

 

[JoeF1]

Absolutly Amazing! I will never have anything like this!! Would love to see it in action!

 

[shanestatham]

4 Grand! 4 Thousand pound.....just say it outloud.....4 smacker roonies!

Thats more than my car, my PC, my projector, my TV and my consoles!

Still i bet BF3 plays very smooth at ultra

 

[Cool Breeze]

Awesome build!

 

[Draig]

Gratz on your new machine stelly.

I guess it was a busy weekend for them building sandybridge-e systems. Got 2 systems being built, although we went with a 3960X. Sadly there was a problem with the TridentX ram on Saturday which I couldn't answer until Monday, which delayed the build and I'm away till the 26. Now I just have the excitement of setting up the 2 for when I get back, hope the purple and red light setups look good.

The RAID card was around 800 as well

Holy cow, that's some serious PC right there. Great, tidy build and some of the best hardware available! Total opposite end of the spectrum to the G840 <£300 budget build I did earlier this week!

 

[Muel]

Tis crazy, it's like a mix of the poshest gaming PC you can imagine with a load of server level RAID stuff going on as well... Insane!

Out of interest, did you consider an SRX motherboard and dual CPUs? Just wondering how much more it would have cost, given that this build must have set you back over £5k...

 

[Stelly]

Ok People,

I managed to do some drive testing on the computer, so here are the results:

Revo:

Samsung:

Intel RAID:

Will be doing some more benchies tonight I hope, fingers crossed and what not
