My New build, 5GHz & 11 Million pixels of awesomeness!!

Spit · 13 Oct 2011 at 21:05

Finally completed my build, taken a few weeks of planning:

3x 27" Hazro WC 2560x1440

Corsair 650D Case
Asus Maximus Extreme Z
2600K SB stable at 5GHz 1.44v
16Gb Corsair Vengeance 8-8-8-24
2x MSI 2Gb 6950 crossfire
Noctua DH-14
256Gb M4 SSD
OCZ 1000w 80 plus gold PSU

Logitech Dinovo keyboard
Logitech G700 gaming mouse

Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 Speakers

3D Mark 11 - 9676

Been an epic build, I am really glad about the 5GHz clock as that is what I was aiming for. PC runs very quiet and no extra fans have been installed.

The plan next year will be to crossfire the new 7000's when they are released. Even they will probably not be able to push the screens. This PC is for work first and gaming second. Gaming will be done on the centre screen rather than eyefinity.

Thanks. The big fan at the top is pulling the air out. It won't fit any other orientation.

It runs cool inside. The DH14 is a monster lol.

After prime for 3 hours the highest temp on a core was 89c.

Bit hot that fella....

I get mid 70's when I run mine at 5.3Ghz on same cooler.

What thermal paste did you use?

Dream aquarium over the 3 monitors looks amazing!

Trade the markets. For the price the screens are stunning. Not one dead pixel either!!!

Looking great with 3 monitors now you need to invest in better monitor stands
I got Ergotron LX dual arms for my setup http://www.ergotron.com/Products/tabid/65/PRDID/355/language/sv-SE/Default.aspx
I have a Hazro on one arm and my laptop on the second one and they are side by side not ontop of eachother.
How are those B&W speakers?

Totally agree, the stands are terrible!

Nice build there. What are the graph programs you use, been seeing a lot of forex threads popping up lately, is that what you do?

The graphs are US shares. I specifically trade US penny stocks and in one sentence the strategy is "short selling pump and dumps".

I do not go anywhere near forex or spread betting. Quick way to lose your shirt

Here is a couple of videos I took of Crysis 2. First is ULTRA settings with hi res pack, direct x 11 and patch 1.9. It is responsive but too jerky to be playable:

Second is high quality settings with hi res textures turned off. Playable but not ultra smooth. Very responsive.

Must say, eyefinity is very immersive and much more impressive than I thought it would be

Yes, took the heatsinks off 2 of the sticks. Well, can call them heatsinks but they are just stuck on with sticky fixes lol.

Its pretty easy to find them. Run a scan for stocks that have jumped 100% plus over 3 days. Research each stock, if its not genuine news then you can dig deeper into the financials etc.

One of the latest jumped from .05c to $1+ over a few days. Had a market cap of $400 million at its highest. When you looked at the financials it had ZERO revenue and $531 in the bank. Ridiculous but true. Only one way that stock price was going lol!!
