So, what do you do when you're 100% happy with your rig performance BUT you get bored... well you watercool is what you do, however because I fancied a change of chassis... it's meant quite a few changes...so, basically the build has started today. So, basically re-using most of my old parts from the current machine, transplanting into the new machine and replaced parts in old machine. So, this is my current rig:
CURRENT RIG:
Chassis: Antec 1200 Full Tower Case
Processor: Intel E5-Xeon 1680 V2 8 Core/16 Thread @4600MHz Ivy Bridge (1.250v) EP/EX
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth X79 TUF Gaming
Graphics Card: Powercolor Radeon 5700XT @2031/1900MHz (1.179mv)
RAM: 64Gb Kingston HyperX DDR3 1866mhz Quad Channel (3732mhz) @10-10-10-28-1T
PSU: Super Flower 1200W Gold
SSD & Storage: ASRock Ultra Quad M.2 PCI-E 3.0 Adaptor Card
· 2 x Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2
· 2 x Samsung 840 Evo Pro SSD in RAID0
· 2 x Intel SSD in RAID0
· 2 x 4TB Seagate 7,200RPM HDD
So, basically a lot of this will be moving over to the new water cooled and I've got back spares to put into the what will be 2nd rig as I can't bare to get rid of my Antec case as it's fantastic, these will be i7-3970x 6 core@4600mhz, 64GB GIEL Evo Corsa 1600mhz/3200mhz Quad Channel.I built that last night and slapped a Sapphire Nitro+ AMD Radeon 570 into it and left the Intel SSD's in RAID0 in it and one of the 4TB. Everything is good, so while I build the new one, I've still got a fully functioning rig while I work as god knows how long this will take.
