3GB RAM(2GB Corsair Twin2X 800MHz CL5 + 1GB Crucial Value D9GMH)

Also took a couple of pictures of my desktop. A little dusty though.
Specs:
GB P67-UD4
Intel 2500k @ 4.5GHz(1.35v) + TRUE Cu(had to zip-tie it up because the weight made the temps go up 10C+)
8GB G.Skill Eco 1600CL7 @ 1.35v
HD4870X2 @ 760/1000MHz
2 x Intel G2 80GB in Raid 0 for OS

Soooooo much room!! :shocked:
At least make good use of it...

there's no more room in my case except for some storage :'(
LOL
mixed sli
reversed chassis fan
reversed psu
now you mention it the back fan is placed wrong :s
the mixed sli is cos of money reasons and i cant turn the psu around cos of the bottom fan
am so ashamed tho :'(
Don't be as it comes with pratice!! :yepp: BTW my last build (like number 5 and a bunch of redos) I managed to mount my Zalman 9900-NT "backwards" where it was blowing to the front and not the rear!! :rofl: :ROTF:Quote:

Fixing the back fan should normally lower your cpu temps a bit....
@Trolle: nothing to be ashamed dude...this is what XS is all about, helping each other out! :up:
You need to get a nylon brush and a can of compressed air to clean out the dust in that PSU.
I advise you to face the PSU downwards too. As you been using an all intake airflow, the amount of dust is viewable in the pictures.
The palit's exhaust & intake could enjoy a blast of compressed air as well.
The top fans need not be exhaust as the D14 direction of airflow would be out the rear, but they would aid in any heat the gpus add to your casing.
I thought that XS is all about xtreme systems which we overclock as hell and blow them up .__. maybe i was wrong..Quote:

Looking really good guys.
@emir: what case is that?
@patrock84
what cpu cooler is it ?
I think it may be one of the new Be Quiet Dark Rock series.Quote:

What you using for the burner and how do you like it?? Need to find one.
monster it is :)
more internal shots?
coolermaster R4 fans ? you must be from singapore ?
Nah a far more exotic place called the UK
Thanx m8 ! :)Quote:

Snuck the SSD up and out of the way. I'm actually using 5 Scythe SFLEX E's now, 2 in, 2 out, 1 cpu.

Lol...actually before I bought Vantec Tornado + Vantec fan control panel for my old rig, I had a similar solution during summer for about 2 weeks. Only it was a Lasko-Multi-Purpose-Pivoting-Utility-Fan. And it got my North bridge, and Video card temps down by 35 degrees on speed 1 :rofl: Now if I could find a giant case for it to fit after modding,and some noise canceling foam, I actually WOULD use this super mega fan instead of all of my side fans and xtra fans. Because the amount of air it pushes is amazing.:yepp:Quote:

Wanted to show a little better picture of the cooler (Zalman VF3000F) that got me over 6k in 3D11:
http://i56.tinypic.com/4kcjk4.jpg
I love this cooler keeps the GPU around 35C at idle and PCB below 30C (due to full coverage heat sink). At full load even over 900mhz on the core, the GPU never topped 75C.
Yes the 3000 series seems to do a good job as the N on my 285 does an excellent job. The only issues I've heard is with the A as some people may have been less than gentle in removeing the stock cooler. ;)
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...80-720-285.jpg
very nice and I also find it cool you can do SLI with the cooler on certain boards.
Also the 480 is supposed to be one of the hottest GPUs ever and I rarely see it hit 70C in gaming at 1920x1200 in games like TDU 2 and Wings of Prey (soon to be Cliffs of Dover)

Here's mine with the side off.
nice ducting! :D what diff did it make in temps? :)Quote:

it would be better if you just used the rear exhaust duct instead of the intake.
I beg to differ - there appears to be a white fan @ the front for intake :up:Quote:

To make it more clear without the intake duct he still gets the air from the front intake, but he also gets air from the top, bottom and side of the fan. The exhaust duct is a good idea to keep from recirculating hot air after being blown through the CPU cooler.
Thanks! The ducting dropped about 7 C off.Quote:

Good choice in fans btw, I own 4 FM121's
could you please tell us where your HD is? Also you have no optical drive at all? External maybe?
I was crushed when I accidentally put the front fan grill on backwards and lost a fin on one of my FM121s today. More business for newegg I guess.Quote:

gotcha, have you considered enclosing the gaps around the front FM121? Black foam rubber would do the job.
I have also broken a FM121 and it is a sad moment in your computing history as they are around $20(US) each.
BTW if you are interested in colder air, click the link in my signature.
Good idea. I hadn't thought of that--I'll try it out.Quote:

Any ideas how to do these?
one question I had is why can't you bring the duct closer? If you can't fit the full size you could step it down to 120mm then tape it up (inspired by my work with muscle car exhaust)
BTW that is the exact same mobo and CPU I'm building for my brother, he works in NASCAR as a test engineer for one of the teams and needs an AutoCAD rig. Their work laptops have the mobile i7s in them to calculate tire and fuel data ASAP.
What do you mean by bringing the duct closer?Quote:

If you would connect me up to him (james.wattsa@gmail.com), I would love to ask him some questions.
I want that Zalman cooler now! :D (Zalman fanboy)
Still like the 9900s!! :rofl: :ROTF: But that is a nice cooler. :yepp:Quote:

As wrong as it sounds it happened. I hold my hands up, 5 of the bottom fins got a little shave so that it would fit on my classified. I figured it be less heart breaking to botch up a heatsink than to kill my chipset heatsink in case i needed to rma the board sometime in the future.Quote:
