Player1's Rig

I haven't posted in this thread in forever.

The i7 920 rig has changed drastically though:



I've had some more time to mess around with it, so I decided to overclock it on air. My 920 is a C0 chip, so it's not as OC friendly as the D0's. (I've hit 4.6Ghz on water, so we'll see what it can do on air)

I'm currently posting from 4.5GHz



EDIT:

CPUz Validation: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1921123

Should be easier to see, then trying to look at the screenshot


It's not prime stable, but it's benchmark stable as well as Fallout New Vegas stable lol!

I'll be pushing it more shortly





Hey guys, girls, and hiigaraan(joke). I've asked for many pics, but have never actually shown you guys any. So do to some recent problems(liquid getting in my PSU) I had to take my rig apart. Here's some pics of putting it back together.

DrMOS is just MSI's mosfets basically they are supposedly more energy efficient. I'm not sure whether or not that is actually true. I think the name sounds cool though

quote hiigaran

not bad there, but damn, you dont have a GTX 260 Core 216

Oh how I wish I did though

quote hiigaran

hehehe, i just had to say it. anyway, good build - what kind of benches do you get with that build?

IDK actually the only reason I'm using the two 4870's is to bench them now .

With the GTX 260 I had 18735 in 3dmark06. I can't remember the vantage score though

In Wprime at 4.2GHz I got 6.69 seconds

and at geekbench I got a 10224

That's really all I recorded though. Were you looking for something more specific?

Hahahaha K

YEAH! Rep the Mushkin!

quote aspect of bane

Hey you have an ASUS 4870 too! Is it the 512MB or 1GB version?

Yeah I have the 1gb version.

quote courgan

what is the cpu cooler?

It's a Vigor Monsoon 3 LT

It keeps my i7 in the mid 50's at load at 3.6, but anything after that and the temps start to shoot way up. I'm thinking about getting back on water though.

I'm thinking about getting back on water though.

nah man, find something more aesthetically pleasing. builds like this need to be seen.
