So much fun to build a rig:thumbsup

Certainly does, First thing my g/f said lol.


Cheers mate:)


lol, need a towel?


Needs updating ay;)

Hey, have you tried eyefinity maybe on that card. I have same card and want to do that

It is for sure:)

Matter of fact you could pick one up on ebay..
I have seen a couple of EVGA Super Record 2 (SR2) Computers on Ebay and Craigslist.
I have seen them range from $5k - $12k..
The price mostly depends on the processors. My x5680's ran about $3k for the pair.
You can get x5690's which run about $4k for a matched pair.
This year EVGA is coming out with the SR-3, up to 36 cores and 128gb of ram. Sweet!!

fetishwealth, what kind of coolers are those?

I see one on the CPU, what's the other one for?


Also, i think a Corsair H100 cooler would work great in your system. I just got mine and love it (much quiter than aircoolers and more efficient)

They are both ChillTEC coolers from the look of it, and there is two as it's a daul processor board (two cpu's).

The reason you see two CPU coolers is because it's a dual CPU mobo. It's has dual Xeon x5680's, that's why it has 24 cores.
The two cooler that you see are not air coolers, those are thermoelectric coolers that use the Peltier Effect to cool the CPU. The Corsair H100 is a good CPU cooler.

Yes, they are both Ultra ChillTEC Black Edition.. You are correct, the mobo has 2 cpu's.

Awesome:)

Does it hurt anything to overclock the processor?

My main machine that I'm using in now a couple of years old, has an Intel i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz

It was the hot shit when I built it, but I'm sure its quite a bit behind these days.

only being 128 gigs is why it gets such a low speed rating, I later found out that the bigger the ssd the faster it is.

It can damage the Cpu and the Mobo if not done correctly. Basically the more you O/C the cpu the hotter the chip will run. I wouldn't suggest doing any O/C if your using a standard heatsink/fan.

I moved the fans to the front of the case for better airflow, done some cable management on the back and put a couple of cold cathode lights in over the week:)
