Fantastic. What a beautiful computer you've got.
Droool :) Nice setup
Wow amazing! Lets see some crysis benchmark!
MaK, have you tried putting the radiator of your H50 at the back or does it work better at the top?
Just wondering as I can also mount in both positions, but am currently running it on the rear.
I'm just thinking with the whole hot air rises thing, then all the how air in the box is going through the radiator.
If I have time tonight I will try moving mine to the top and will see what happens
Love the colours, never seen this combination before.
Pure :banana::banana::banana::banana: mak, pure :banana::banana::banana::banana: :yepp:
Get rid of those ugly gray drives, do some sleeve-work on those cables and it'll be as good as it gets mate :up:
Those soooo oughta be drivin a eyeinfinity setup man....
Sorry if I am in a crappy, tired ass mood, but isn't the lower card in an 8x slot? wouldn't is be better to pull cool air into the rad, instead of pushing warm case air through it?
Where are your hard drives?
how about sending me one when you're done with them?
@justin.kerr it is better to have cold air from outside running through the rad, but then it dumps all your CPUs heat into the box
Thanks everyone. I just wanted to share. Hopefully I can get some numbers up this weekend but since I don't have extreme cooling it won't be huge.
I have never had it on the back. I liked the way that it looks on top. It is in push-pull and runs very cool so I have just left it the way that it is.
I have been thinking that I need to do that.
800D has hotswap bays on the front of the case. They are behind that black plastic, next to the fan. The fan on the side blows on your hard drives.
I hadn't thought about it but it is in the x8 slot. I have read reviews on the PCIE scaling and it makes little difference so I will probably leave it there for day to day because of looks and that is how I always ran my 5870s. I was having trouble getting it stable at anything over 3.8 last night for 3DM. I had it booting at 4.2 but it wouldn't finish 3DM at anything over 3.8. When I get that squared away I will move it to the x16 for bench. The airflow might get restricted on the top card but as they are now they do not break 80C on auto fans.
At least in the days of 4000 series Radeons that was true. The performance difference between even PCIe 1.0 x8 and PCIe 2.0 x16 was insignificant outside of benchmarks.
Look Nice Color
Use More Monitor ;)
naa jou have DFI Mobo and Silverstone PSU he has EVGA and Enermax and you have Normal 5970s (not that they are not sick lol) he has BE :D but still nice :P
