Benedict's Rig

So yeah, that is it. As in, that is the PC. And it is a lot bigger than I expected.

Here are the full specs:

i7-950 @ 3.3ghz
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Motherboard
Antec 1200 Case
850W Modular PSU
GTX 460 (1GB SC)
6GB Corsair DDR3 1600mhz (Not at that atm (lower), need to edit stuff in the bios)
2TB (2x1tb) 7200.12 Seagate Hard Drives
Blu ray ROM/DVD RW in one
Ultra-120 eXtreme Heatsink with 1000rpm 120mm fan

Other stuff
One thing which I didn't expect is that the case fans are all Molex connectors. Nothing to go to the motherboard. It is very quiet though on low settings (you can ajust it), and sounds like a jet engine on high.

Benchmarks
Haven't done very many... but I've done 3dmark06 a couple of times. Heres the result of the one I did now (I've got a little higher):




Temperatures and stuff
On high fan speeds, with F@H running and a couple more programs, here are the temps:



With F@H off, it drops right down. Believe me. Running 3d mark or a game, the temps for the cores are 30-50 and GPU is about 50-60.

CPU-Z



Oh yeah, any voltages/whatnot where set by the program I OCed to 3.3 with... I haven't done it in the bios yet. I was just raising it to get over 20k for 3dmark with the mobo's software... anything which looks high?

Other Pictures










(Tempted to say Benedict's build, but that makes me sound like... dunno.)

wow, maybe with a little more cable management, it would look even better, but regardless...

Going to do cblmgment now.

quote hiigaran

with almost any overclock, the RAM will be the one that goes unstable first - go into the bios and loosen the timings for the RAM. increase them to their highest values, then keep raising the FSB. perhaps you might be able to lower the CPU multi and then keep going even further if the CPU becomes unstable next

Thats what I can't find. The RAM timings Loosen being make lower or make higher?





New cable managment.

No. Thats the thing. I've found something that looks like it...

I have something called channel a/b/c timing settings, and channel a/b/c turnaround settings.

Which?
I posted it before the one with the image.

I think my OC limit for now may have been reached... 3630mhz... Can't get any higher being stable... Haven't messed with the voltages yet though.

impressive indeed. looks like you did a great job with your rig.

now what about the video card?
