Guess what I just got????

[Shogen 325]

Proud owner of 2 Intel items.... i7 2600k + Intel SSD 160GB ... didn't pay alot either....!!!!

One of the very few perks of working where I do... BOOM!!!

[jonbearsmt 919]

the clap?

[Ohjay 116]

WTF is that all that? Only SSDs I know about are Fi

no sir.. thats computer stuff

[shizzzon 461]

u know, with the OC potential of that chip.. u better be doin some hardcore video transcoding!

I recently built my cousin an I5 3.0 or 2.8, can't remember and we put that massive ass HSF on it and i was able to oc it to 4.2ghz safely and stable and we benched it in Everest and it surpassed a stock Q9300 which is my damn chip, lol Quad 2.54ghz..

Now, his isn't as fast as mine though since i Oced mine to Q3.4ghz 24\7 but still, I need an I7 on top of a Cuda video card.

I do lots of video transcoding and i refuse to do 1080 of 1600p video because 1080p on my system takes 3.5hrs @2hrs of flim so 1600p would be ridiculous...

Solid state hard drives maybe? I think haha.

I do it for the love... Will be going to watercooling on this setup.... If I don't sell it first....

[Ohjay 116]

Gah, that was harsh. I know you posted the links, I was just foolin' about.

[shizzzon 461]

u should be able to safely oc that ship on air to around 4.7ghz 24/7 watercooling is overrated especially if u are not going to be able to take advantage of the cpu speed and instructions capable

I know... my badd... didn't mean to sound harsh...

it's funny... i want to be louder in the car... but in the house QUIET is GOLDEN... I will do water cooling for pure noise reduction... Have not had an air setup that was quiet enough...

[shizzzon 461]

have u never had watercooling?

If i'm not mistaken, water cooling is louder than your typical high end air systems now

I can find u VERY HIGH CFM air systems with under 20db at max speed, that's very quiet.

Watercooling has external fans( which can be quiet) but the pump is not quiet... unless they state it's db rating is ~20db or lower.

[Shogen 325]

All my current fans are Noctua fans... I've researched quite a bit... The problem is the air turbulence coming the the ventilation not the fans themselves... With a good watercooling system and a pump suspended in the case I will here little to almost no noise whatsoever... Hopefully... Last watercooling system I had was louder than my current setup.. But it cooled CPU-GPU-HDD .... so I needed a very high output pump...

could you link me some of them though.. I been out of the game kinda, since my Q9550 purchase... lol

[shizzzon 461]

hey, dont feel lonely.. after my Q9300.. i stopped bein in the game til i built my cousins i5, BUT.. this stuff has been out forever basically..

www.heatsinkfactory.com

If u have any questions, just let me know. There are plenty of crazy ass HSFs on there but i must warn you.. After fan cost, all good ones are gonna be over $100 shipped.

[Shogen 325]

yes... I'll see which is worth it... Watercooling I have priced out to be just under $250 for just the cpu... But we'll see... Thanks for the link.. Never seen that site before, oddly I like it.... Reminds me of www.frozencpu.com

[Shogen 325]

guess what... they haven't updated the site for socket 1155 ...

I now have to read FULL descriptions!! WTF!! lol

[shizzzon 461]

most of the high end HSFs come with every socket adapter on earth all the way back to 775 sometimes, lol

[Shogen 325]

Honestly I do have a Corsair H50 which is pretty quiet.. I can probably purchase a new bracket for it or make one... But I am liking this NOCTUA..

If you stick to WC on the CPU only you'll be ok.

If you also loop(s) the video card(s) into the loop it starts to be a pain in the A** if you need to remove anything from the case.

You will need to do some research, if you haven't already, on good low CFM radiator(s) if you want to keep the noise down.

I've got an Antec 1200, which I love except for the dust filer access.

I did allot of mods to it. I'm running 2- black ice radiators (inside the case) along with 2-8800gt's, north /south bridge and the e8600 @ 4.0 ghz. in the loop. Also 2-Raptor x's in a raid array.

I know, it's time for a serious upgrade.

I'm going to go with the 2500k sometime soon, as well as a triple monitor setup and ssd's sometime this year.

What video card you going to go with?

Here's a couple pics, raptor mod and fitting the radiators.

[shizzzon 461]

crap, disregard this post posted wrong link

[Shogen 325]

I have a Corsair 800D ...

[djjdnap 78]

i went amd for alot cheaper

[Shogen 325]

I use a GTX285 .... 8GB RAM currently
