too much talking here, not enough shots of their unused systems just cleaned rigs and desks prior to shot and then act like its always like that pictures.

Media Server/3rd PC is almost done. Made some last minute decisions when I went to pick it up the parts tonight.

Went with BitFenix Prodigy instead of using my Corsair 800D
Went with ITX build instead of ATX for fun

AMD 6800K
MSI FM2-A75IA-E53 ITX Board
8GB Corsair Dominator GT 2000Mhz (limited to 1866 due to board)
Corsair H80
OCZ ModXstream 500watt
Seagate 1TB (until I decide what biggers I want to go with)
Some LG DVD/CD drive
Have a 7750 on order from 'egg to crossfire with the iGPU (Powercolor 7750 1GB GDDR5)

[CurrentlyPissed]

Scratch the limited by motherboard. Even though the manual says it only supports up to 1866. When I turned on the BIOS options from 1866, to 2133, to 2400 were in there. So I guess this was a model originally designed for the 5800k series. So the memory is running like a champ at 2133.

[AdamK47]

A couple upgrades. Relaced the 3960X with a 4960X. Replaced the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme with a Corsair H110.

[demo]

Far out m8, that's a beast. What clocks do you get out of the 4930k and GPU's?

How are GPU temps? I'm thinking of going to a 4930k and 3rd GPU myself.

Hehe, he said 4960X.

[CurrentlyPissed]

Woot 7750 will arrive tomorrow. Really curious to see how this little thing runs in crossfire with the iGpu. Was exicted to build the little box. I kinda want to put my titan in it

[demo]

Hehe, he said 4960X.

Ah so he did. Practically the same so the questions still stand. I can see he has 4960x and 3-way Titans, which is very nice, but I think I could get the same results out of 4930k and 3-way 780's.

And save a truckload of cash in the process.

When you try that, install the card and go into the BIOS and set the primary GPU to be the dGPU (7750) save and exit and then power off and move the display connector to the dGPU. Then boot into windows and install drivers, then try enabling CrossfireX. That way you use the dGPU and augment it with the APU graphics for the best results.

I'd love to see that. You should try it out one quiet weekend

Awesome thanks for the walk through, I kinda "jumped ship" on some few reads about the 7750 working. But it's unofficial. And no one has provided a walk through so was nervous about how I go about getting it to work.

I almost bought the FX 8350 instead, but there were no ITX boards at MC for them. So I didn't. Oh well, this build has already exceeded budget for what it was intended for. Should be a nice little PC for media server/back seat gaming.

One question, on your walkthrough, will I have to downclock the 7750 to match the iGPU or will it do it manually?

[caveman-jim]

It won't downclock at all, AMD multi-GPU tech has allowed mixed configs for a long time now. And you're right, it's unofficial, but if you configure it the way I suggested you'll be very pleased with it I think. Using the dGPU as primary gives the CPU cores more thermal budget so they'll stay in turbo longer, and the APU graphics will still be useful for increasing frame rates - and you get the benefit of GCN optimizations from the dGPU, no matter what.

[CurrentlyPissed]

Beautifull, thanks.

I am correct to understand though that the 7750 is the highest known card to work with the 6800k, correct?

4960X is at 4.5GHz stable.

The GPUs aren't clocked very high. Default voltage and +70 core / +100 memory for all three. The temps of the GPUs climb to the upper 80s when looping Unigine demos. Usually they are much lower than that when gaming. The system doubles as a space heater for the Winter. Just need to fire up Prime95 and loop Unigine Heaven.

Time for my semi-annual chassis dust cleaning. Figured it's as good a time as any to post updated pics (seem to do so about every 3 years) -

A common enough but not so often seen here pre-built system. Went out of my way to try and find cables that somewhat match!

[Progression]

You sit on top of that shelf in the floor, or what?

[caveman-jim]

Beautifull, thanks.

Officially, it's the 6670. Unofficially, I couldn't possibly comment

[Progression]

Oh man i'm glad someone else still has the CM stacker. Seriously though i don't know when and if i'll buy another case.

You did.

[Falcon1]

Updated my system in september

[clerick]

You did.

true... but i still have the old case!

[bill dennison]

true... but i still have the old case!

my CM stacker is going into storage soon to if i ever get to stop ordering stuff for the new one

My Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo II arrived today, goodie!



How it makes my card looks like some low end cheapo card!



Temperature improved massively, stock crappy, noisy cooler reaches the 80C throttle limit till it no longer in boost state. This cooler achieve +100MHz core (~1200MHz core clock) and only peaking 70C in Crysis 3, in non airconditioned room! 3DMark 11 graphics score jumps over 9000 points when overclocked. Stock only shy of 8000 points

[Dungeoncrawler]

^^ Very sharp looking cooler!

I've got one of these on my GTX 560 ti. That thing produces a lot of heat and it does a nice job of keeping the temps under control. Plus looks wicked.

That looks awesome, love the compact size.

Thanks. Just gotta find out how in the world I'm gonna fit another radiator in there to add the cards to the loop.

I'd say at the very bottom of the case, just below the second card, once you move the reservoir and pump to another location (maybe the other side of the case where the PSU is)...

[DaJMasta]

My main rig got poump'd today as well as crammed into a smaller case. Dropped the optical disk and replaced the i7 860 with a 4770K, faster mem and most of the other bits remained.

This thing is quite snappy and seems a bit smoother in Civ5 already, but since my monitor runs 1440p and I'm "only" running a 670, not all the games have felt the benefit.

Anyways, my first trip to a microcenter and it was a more interesting store than I expected and it seems like that every cable is too long in an itx case... surprisingly, even the ones for the front panel and PSU that came with the case , so I won't disgust you with the birdsnest in the front half of the case.
