  1. Asus RAMPAGE IV EXTREME/BF3
  2. Corsair Obsidian Series 800D, Black, Full Tower Case, with Side Window, 3 x 140mm Fans
  3. Corsair CC800D-SATA6KIT Obsidian Series 800D SATA 6Gb/s Upgrade Kit

That system will be absolute overkill for pretty much everything so no I wouldn't change the components. You are obviously a very rich man :D.

One thing, if you are spending all that money on the 'ultimate' system, why not go for a full on custom water loop instead of the h100. It would be a drop in the ocean compared to the rest of the system and would be a vast improvement with near infinite future cooling upgrade prospects.

I dont know anyting about water cooling apart from I have used a H60 in a previous system.

I am not a rich man but have received a refund from alienware after the watercooling leakead and killed my system.

I will be using my system to edit mostly so dont need to over clock the gpus or water cool them! the corsair 800d has room for a triple radiator and fan for water cooling.

im after bolt in solutions but are open to sugestions if its not too complex and will not leak!
 
Hi Stulid
That looks great, What is included?
triple radiator? pump 2011 cpu block?

is it just the cpu thats cooled? and whats the adantage over the H100 performance wise?
also whats the situation with possible leaks? are they rare. and how damaging?

thanks
 
trying to get hold of 64gb ram seems overclockers dont have it listed 2 x 32 vengence

the only reason is that i use adobe after effects abd encore and premier pro. they can use 3gb per thread ie 36gb on 12 thread 3960x

also gives possibility of using it as a ram disk.

cheers
 
I did think of re using old thread but desided not to.
Budget raised to £3000 to enable 64gb wanted to get stulid involved but he never replied on old thread!

everything has to be flexible, even on a £3000 budget im only finding £340 new money after refund
 
adobe after effects uses 0.75 , 1 , 1.5, 2, 3gb per thread.
3960x 12 threads so 32gb would leave 29gb after back ground programs set to min.
so it would allow 2gb per thread and utilise 24gb when rendering.

64gb would allow 3gb to be used per thread and use 36gb's or 48 gb's when the 8 core cpus come out
 
I think we are at the stage that all thats needed is to sort the ram out,

also do i need any fan control pannel or anything extra for the water cooling on the link you sent me for the 800d water cooled?

need some lighting for case, and cable ties and maybe something to sheave the cables in?

open to ideas? I do like uv blue
 
i have been reading up on the sesonic 1000 one and it sounds perfect.

what are the limitations of a 1000 wat psu? in regards to gpus? and cpu I probebly wont go to tri sli and will keep 2 580gtx and over clocked 3960

have i got good margins on this 1000 wat psu

also its on pre order, so hope it comes in on time 25/11/11. Im on holiday for a week so cant build till then
 
Im looking at a pair of 5690x xeons and SR-2 motherboard.
the cost is high but i save on the cost of ram as it's currently £900 for my x79 build.

looking for performance comparrison to my old i7 980x if it would be double this could be perfect for me?

think its a big spanner now thrown into the x79 works, dam too much knowledge hurts!
 
am i right thinking the 5690x is a i7990x in a different form with a second QPI?

getting technical now, but its performance comparrisions i need?

would this dual xenon set up have twice the performance of a i7980x cpu as it would half my render times?
 
the upgrade path would be to future 8 core cpus.
think your right, do you know what the performance increase would be over my 980x

heard somewhere it was only about 17%
mind ive read a huge amount on these things
