Pilotasso finally geting a new rig- but hold on a moment-Monster air cooling inside!

[RSharpe]

You will probably notice I changed the mainboard again. Thats because the MSI one fried. Military class my rear.

the model is ASUS P8P67 Deluxe.

 

MSI makes great custom designed video cards, but their motherboards seem to have a high failure rate.

[Pilotasso]

Congrats for the new Rig Pilo.

 

 

Is your CPU 32 or 64 bits?

 

What rating do you get in the "Performance Information and Tools" window?

 

THX! :thumbup:

its 64 bit, I think they are all now.

 

Rating is 7.6 for processor and 7.9 for everything else.

 

I didnt get the max because i think windows punishes you for not having hyperthreading which I dont need and saved myself 80 €.

 

Tried a few games and its as bit as fast as my bros I52600K which scored 7.9 in all categories.

[Pilotasso]

Nice :thumbup: How loud is it (subjectively)?

 

Its mostly silent on idle I can sleep next to it, but you can hear the H60 fan spin up and the 3 GFX fans spin up during games. Its not a problem because the souds coming out of the games easely muffles the case. The cases 3 big fans are almost inaudible.

 

My previous system had all noctua fans, 7 of them, I think the level of noise is similar except when my GTX 470 would go unbearably loud during benchmarks. Much louder than what i have now. Plus this system is also cooler. So I guess its a total win.

^^ Thx, now go and enjoy it :P

Almost perfect, a hell of a mean machine, enjoy :pilotfly:

I have to congratulate you on the build, very very nice cable routing. Nicely done.

[Bolt-1]

Very nice build "pilot" you got some great parts and you put together a very nice system. Very clean. Which is what I need to do to mine as I put it together rather quickly. About 3 months ago. I'm not surprised at the performance your getting.

Take a look at my sig. What do you think. Pretty close to what you put together huh ? And I'm enjoying the same performance you are. It's a beautiful thing isn't it. Again nice build !!! :thumbup:

[Scudslaker]

verry nice rig!) i will get my sandy system this next week. maybe one help is needed with my cpu choice..i m not sure if the 2500k or the i7 2600k variant is the better choice. is the 2600k worth the 80 € for the plus cache..or why have you chosen the 2500k

[Pilotasso]

I chosen the I2500K because there wont be any apps or games soon using all 8 threads. When they do there will be octa cores and deca cores anyway. Hyperthreading is a poor substitute for phisical cores.

[Scudslaker]

yes i read same facts..so you confirmed my choice!)

 

thx pilotasso!)

[Succellus]

Pilotasso, i live on Brazil so 35 aint so rare my PC is in a small room and near 40 celsius is to be considered.

I have the noctua 14 on a HAF medium (932) i actually have passed the upper fan case to the side as inductor and put 2 12mm fan where it was blowing out air of the case + front fan inward and rear fn outward

 

So in resume, it cools the room in plain summer.... And at full testing its medium warm.

I didn t get the full case for lack of space, and i m happy i did not need such a monster, i had the same fears you have. So Noctua is good enought and its cheaper (i think).

 

Congrat on the killing machine.

[Pilotasso]

Heres some impressive perspective of what this behemoth can do. 4.5GHZ on only 1.24V ! Thats an extra 1.2GHz with less 0.9V :eek:

 

ambient temp is almost 30ºC its pretty hot.

All those number are nice, but ... we want to know if your pleased on how it run stuffsssss

[Pilotasso]

Lockon 50FPS over cities and 100+FPS everywhere else. :)

 

havent installed every title yet.

[leafer]

Hot dang, that is one tricky rig and I love that case!

I dont know if its the same for you but, Im also running @ 4.5 Ghz. CPUZ says my voltage is 1.384v but yet in the bios I set it @ 1.028v. I trust the bios more than third party. Check your bios maybe your voltage is actually less than what CPUZ says.

Depends a lot on how you reached that 4.5GHz Setting. Generally speaking I would doubt that you'd run it well (if at all) on 4.5GHz at 1.028v. If your OC is acheived through the use of the turbo mode, for example, your voltage will apply to operation without the turbo, and when applying turbo the BIOS will apply extra voltage as it sees fit. (And 1.38x volt seems roughly right for a BIOS-applied turbo voltage setting.)

I have built this system below one month ago, although I had HAF-X since last year.

Currently at 4.7GHz without any effort ;)

 

ASUS ROG Maximus IV Extreme http://rog.asus.com/Product.aspx?PId=43

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series DDR3 1600MHz (PC3-12800) 8GB (2x4GB) Dual Channel Kit (F3-12800CL7D-8GBXH)

Intel Core i7 2600K 3,40 GHz BOX

 

This all goes to the same case, which is HAF-X

http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6653

And my CPU cooler I will retrofit from my old CPU which is Cooler Master V8:

http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=5279

All quietly cooled down even more with custom fans controlled by my trustworthy NZXT Sentry LX: http://www.nzxt.com/new/products/fan_control/sentry_lx

 

I am still finishing this setup and moving to new apartment. Will post some pics then.

 

First boot month ago...

Would the performance gain from overclocking my i3 be worth the trouble and the price of a new heatsink (I'm thinking the Zalman CNPS10X extreme)? Someone recommended the 1155 socket but that would mean a new mobo and I just thought that money could go to new vid card and ram instead.

 

edit: sorry for the threadjacked Pilotasso.

Depends on how heavy your CPU load is at the moment I'd say. On my system the obvious bottleneck is the graphics card. My CPU seems to be very bored while I fly.

I have manually set 1.24V on BIOS this is not a ramdom external aplication reading. They usually tell you CPU rated speed instead of actual speed.

1.028V and 1.384V are the iddle voltage and CPU rated voltage respectivelly (or auto voltage that the bios feels is more stable at full speed) but usually its much higher than the actual stable Voltage. You must try your stable voltage yourself. But beware when you, do the CPU will be then permanently locked onto the turbo frequency.

No problem.

 

Yes your on a dilema there, you can do 1 thing or the other but not the 2 to eliminate obvious botlenecks. I would advise to hold and save the money and then take the jump when you saved enough for both.

[combatace]

When I compare my rig with yours, mine seems krill and yours whale, a blue whale.. Thats a monster enjoy..

thanks for clearing that up Pilot. Dont worry I'll be careful to my new baby just as you will to your's. I'm still learning. :doh:
