my upcoming rig should get crysis on his knees though. Not fully i don't know about that but it will def. bring it down


QX9650 @ +4GHz
Asus X48 mobo
4GB OCZ DDR3 1800MHz PC14400
Geforce9 9800 GTX
2x WD Raptor 150Gb RAID 0


i really hope they bring it in march, cause the one they bring in 19th of februari is a dual pcb card as they said ( still nvidia hasn't said something official about it )

and i really wanna get of my current system wich is +3 years old

crysis prepare to be owned!!!!



Surely 4 9800gtx's would smash crysis @ absolute max settings

3 Ultras still can't play crysis well. Just doesn't scale well.

Like I've said before, the problem with Crysis, it seems, is that it's badly optimized...

Isn't the 9800gtx equilent to the power of 2 g80's???

4 9800gtx's = 8 g80's perf wise???

yes/no?

Oh by the way Nice rig deepsilver

Probably only a 15FPS increase.

[disruptfam]

Probably only a 15FPS increase.

now that would suck!

[IanY]

biggest problem with the DD blocks is that your barbs screw into a piece of plexi instead of the copper like EK. I've had two and both leaked at the plexi barbs

I understand what you are saying, but wouldn't some Loctite thread locker eliminate that issue ?

Built a system for a friend today and heres a quick peak at the result. The case is the Tt Armor (not my idea of a good case...)

[TopherTony]

HOLY COW what size tubing is that? Looks like a big blue hot dog.

[Vatos_locos]

1/2'' looks like primochill tubins they ara just too fat
here take a look on the left is primochill on the rihgt is on normal ordinary tube

[Jokester_wild]

yes it is primochill, theres nothing wrong with it being thick, seeing as its the best tubing to work with.

[sargatanas]

I nearly finished my system, maybe I gonna change the color of the mb loop to a deep red and clean it a bit.
Well it does not look that perfect like other ones but I'm fine with the temps
just testing a q66 for a friend of mine.

[IanY]

Sargatanas,

How do you connect your two stacked cases ? I'm highly interested in that arrangement. Do you drill through the floor of the top case and through the ceiling of the bottom case?

Many thanks / Danke

DarthBeavis,

It looks like the much ballyhooed quad SLI is on its way, but only in the form of a 9800GX2 style card (remember the 7950GX2?). This time, quad SLI is going to work properly and work well. I got burnt the last time.

Pure speculation but there are lots of circulating rumors that Six-Way SLI will be coming as well, eventually. You obviously know that, because most the rumors are on NV's forums, no doubt hyped by the company itself.

The Skull Trail mobo's fourth PCI-E slot would not be useful because of the dual slot nature of the GX2 card.

The Chinese talk about a February 19th date. Warning that this is speculation (with all due respect to the Mainland Chinese) and that the release date may distinctly be an Asian release date, and as usual, the rest of the world sucks wind for one month before getting access to the toys.

What am I? A fool? You probably have the cards at home already, beta testing them rofl

[sargatanas]

well the bottom case has a huge hole without the plate which is normally mounted.

I changed the plate from the upper tower aswell so I was able to use a dual radiator at the top.

then I drilled a huge hole at the right part in the floor of the upper case where the psu takes place. the hole is big enough for all the hdd cables, tube etc.
wasnt that difficult...looks a bit messy atm but I think I should make some pictures of the right parts of each tower.
makes it easier to understand the mounting since my engl. is quite poor atm ^^
the loops run through both towers, since the bottom chamber is only for testing atm

[IanY]

Thank you very much.

Do you use nuts and bolts to fasten the two cases, use velcro, or use nothing because the cases are so heavy ?

[sargatanas]

well 3x 8mm bolts on the left and 3 on the right side. is quite enough since the towers weight too much to carry it, think 'bout 50kg.

[IanY]

Thank you very much!

[Ad1tya]

Just installed and leak testing ^^






Yes, those are Martin's T's and Elbow!

Took these pics over 2 weeks back.

That`s very nice build, that is what good wire managment should look like.
Yeah, I would like to see moar pics.

[gs274]

My little addition to the thread...

[rafwlkp]

Nice build gs274...Heppy New Year for all

[2k7zero]

That looks like a pretty reasonable st up. You didn't even have to remove the HDD trays.


The red box is where I find you can place a PA 160/shroud/fan (SanAce1011)

I just put the HDDs in the ODD bay

Got any pics of a setup like that?
