Bought my new Rig! ( Need advice ) - Overclock.net

cannabis · 07-02-09

I don't know if this is the right section but I could not find where to post this. I just bought my new rig!! I am generally new to over clocking and I have been browsing around these forums and I really am impressed.

My reason for buying a new computer is that the Airline(Air Berlin) destroyed my desktop.

Ive over clocked my old computer just by changing frequency time thats about all I have done.. Anyways here are specs ... ( also i forgot to add its still being built at ibuypower )
Specs :

The link below shows how cooling works so you guys can give me a good idea on how far I can push this beast!

Wow, this video helps to begin : http://www.linustechtips.com/how-to/...clocking-guide

Wow those are not terrible prices for computing like that. Most other companies would be easily over 7-8k for a computer pre-built like that.

Few things, The front fan will not take in as much air as they think because it blows over the hard drives and is dissipated there. The side intake fan can be replaced by 3 120's for more airflow (the 120's will have more static pressure).

As for ocing the beast, I would say wait until you get it, set it up and then post up your idle temps.

You also need to post up pictures of their professional wiring
