ajnl Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 dat videocard.... Why get all that but not water cooling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idl3 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Sorry not versed in water cooling never invested in it. I figure if I can keep running at a cool 35 degrees celsius I'm ok at OC 4.5 I should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefke Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 dat videocard.... Why get all that but not water cooling? meh, the 690. That's only like a 1000 dollar/euro :pokerface: On which resolution do you play? First one I see that buys a 512gb SSD, bit jelly. Although I don't really need it, 256gb is more than enough for me You should have put in a pci express SSD though, just for showing of ^^ ew, gigabyte. Hate that brand Why an i7, just curious because for gaming hyperthreading is useless ^^ Which psu is it? Sorry for the question, I tend to have many when I see people building pcs (the green one I really want to know ) I sure never would do something like this setup, but sure is a killer rig.

Heaven:) Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 You do realise you can get an i5 which a switch on it to boost it in i7, for the price of the i5. ^^ Common sense to get it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idl3 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 I have OCZ 850w PSU. The TDP for the Vidcard is 300W and the CPU is 70 so I'm well equipt with this. I'm sure it would be safe to have a 1500W PSU but I didn't have the extra $ for that at the time. Cheers You do realise you can get an i5 which a switch on it to boost it in i7, for the price of the i5. ^^ Common sense to get it really. Is that your signature at the bottom of your post? Looks like you have an i7 processor?? :/ I'm running 1600x1200 if there is a way to get HD please let me know, I'm a noob with .cfg files.

Heaven:) Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) I bought my i7 before I knew there were the i5 with a boost. Edited November 19, 2012 by Heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolf Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I bought my i7 before I knew there were the i5 with a boost. That is not a proof. i7's have HTT, some have VT-d, stuff like that. And generally, higher ranked CPU's have better quality chips. Perhaps not worth it for you, but there is a very good reason they have a different price.

idl3 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 I bought my i7 before I knew there were the i5 with a boost. I am just curious, maybe I didn't know about that switch and you hark on me? Just curious why really. And if you can provide link that would be great I'll send my i7 back and get an i5.
