it was about time for an upgrade...

no kidding. found an archaeopteryx nest in my old gtx 580.

[AdamK47]

I like your desk. Where did you get it?

I think it was Staples.

How do you like that monitor?

It's a fantastic monitor. 30", 2560x1600, 10-bit, H-IPS, etc... one of the best available.

[AdamK47]

Changed some things up and took some newer pics.

[jimmt]

Very nice Adam

[CurrentlyPissed]

Apparently you have to be the born childe of a sultan king around here to get any recognition!

Just kidding, I'm jelly adam

[Sazar]

Damn you Adam, don't make me buy another one

-edit- is that 3rd card for PhysX?

[Seek & Destroy]

The Antec ISK 110 on the left is a build I did as a gift to my parents for Christmas.

They are going from an Athlon 64 3700+ (amazingly still has a running GeForce3 as well) to an i3 3220 w/ 4GB ram, 80GB Intel X25G2.





Edit: Here's the guts. Hard to do much with the cables with so little space.

Nice. And a redbull to give it wings?

Wow. Over $3000 worth of gpus in one nice picture. Man o' man.

If I can just get my hands on one GTX 690 I will be satisfied.

[mullet]

Yeah, Adam is our PC hero!!!

[Nunz]

Don't say that in front of shadow...

[Hapatingjaky]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Don't even mention his name or this will turn in to another math thread....

[demo]

conduit

[Mangler]

quad

[caveman-jim]

-edit- is that 3rd card for PhysX?

I believe it's his aerospace conduit calculation module.


or it's a thunderbolt audio card for his mobo. or something.

[shadow001]

Well aren't we all very funny.....


And yes, Adam's setup is very nice indeed and the card you see in the pictures is a dedicated sound card since onboard sound sucks so much by comparison in terms of clarity and definition, not to mention that it's possible to replace the op amps to tune the card to the headphones i'm using for best possible results.

It's a 650Ti for PhysX. I've since removed it.



Doing some testing with PhysX on the Quad SLI vs dedicated shows little to no improvement. It was kinda crazy seeing 5 GPUs in MSI Afterburner though.

What fans are those, Adam? How do they run with the H100?

[AdamK47]

What fans are those, Adam? How do they run with the H100?

The fans are AeroCool Shark Blue Edition. Two 120mm for the radiator and 140mm for the exhaust. The are rated for 82.6 CMF at just 26.5 dBA. They are getting excellent reviews on Newegg. The rest of the fans are Cooler Master. 200mm top (2x), side, and lower front. The middle front is a 140mm.

The cooler is actually a Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme. It's made by the same company that makes the H100, Asetek. The Water 2.0 Extreme has a thicker radiator. 38.3mm vs 27mm.

[Mangler]

The h100 is a coolit product.

[AdamK47]

The h100 is a coolit product.

Sorry, yeah the H60, H80, and H100 are Coolit. It was the H50 and H70 who were made by Asetek.

[Nunz]

I might pick those fans up. I wonder if they would work OK if they were plugged into the H100 block? Since it has the fan control on it.

And yeah, should have looked closer. I assumed that if you were running a non-custom double radiator CPU cooler it had to be an H100, for whatever reason.

Hi folks.

It's been a while since I built this gaming rig.
Nothing much has changed since I built it back in April / May (Ivy + Kepler release). I wish I have more time to play around with my rig. As I travel overseas a lot, I mostly get to use this PC only once a week or two.

Anyway, this is strictly a gaming PC. I don't even use this PC for web browsing or anything. It only gets powered on when I want to play PC games on it. Pretty much like a game console.

Recently replaced mouse and pad and loving it. Happy Christmas.

Looks fantastic, both the build and desk setup.

[CurrentlyPissed]

I can see you are really into the roses theme. Matched the case to the walls!











nice setup though

[Hapatingjaky]

You gay bro?























JK Nice setup.
















You are gay though right?

[logical]

Ill take the roses wallpaper if I can have the rig and a second 3011

[PowerK]

Hehe.. The roses are not my work. They are from my daughter.

[Progression]

Great, clean setup! The walls are a little funny, though.

What's the name of that case?

Edit: Nevermind, found it. =D

[EC51]

Case : Lian Li TYR PC-X900 Red

That's an amazing case. Comes in silver, black and red. Superb build quality. The case alone costs over $500

[CurrentlyPissed]

Went through pulled the PC apart, cleaned it up, added some fan filters to the intakes up top. Rewired, cleaned, etc, etc. Added a red light out of boredom too.

[BababooeyHTJ]

That 800D really is a nice looking case.

[Nunz]

The 800D looks gorgeous, really nice job wiring too

BTW, that cup holder is epic!!!

[Sazar]

CP, looks like it's that time of the month for your case

Yeah I don't actually use the cup holder too often lol, I tend to forget about it.

[AdamK47]

Looks very nice. Excellent job!

[mullet]

PowerK, CP, Nice work looks outstanding!!!!

[OverclockN']
