BCLK, with a whole lot of tests and a hell of alot of failures... V core for that was at 1.35 i believe, i run 3.6Ghz with turbo and hyper threading on for 24/7, temps barely get over 69C
that ***** is off the hizz, fo shizz, dogg ...

although ... quad-sli is kinda overkill with a 24" monitor (with an awful fps/$ ratio, compared to a single 295GTX) ... but if you can afford it, what the heck?
pictures? no?
oh snap

nice rig
Maximum PC reviewed the V10, and said it lost to the new Zalman 9900. How do you like the v10?

BTW I take their reviews with a huge grain of salt, and nice rig

Maybe add a sound card in the future, otherwise that's an amazing build.
Such nice high-end gear ruined by a cheap plastic/steel coolermaster haf case. You should have gone with the atcs 840 if you want coolermaster, lian li case, or silverstone. High-end gear like that does not belong in an el-cheapo case.

yeah because more $ always means better right? lol.


The CM HAF is just fine, good choice OP.


Also, post up some benchmarks of that beastly machine, 2x 295's, and core i7 @ 4GHZ!! I want to see those insane numbers.

Um, there's a reason the other cases cost more. They're made out of all aluminum, have dust filters, have considerably better construction, removable motherboard trays, etc. And they sure as hell look a hell of a lot better and have a more high-end look to match the high-end hardware inside the case. It's like driving a car with the body of a ford focus and a BMW M3 engine. It just doesn't make any sense.

BTW, I own the haf. It's great for shoving whatever you want in it and has good cooling, but it's made out of cheap steal and plastic. It feels and looks very low-end. I suggest the OP gets a nice high-end case to match his high-end hardware.

But I don't know why I'm wasting my time with you, seeing as you care about silly synthetic benchmarks.

i went for the case because i like the look and airflow of it, however i like your advice and i will check into diffrent cases... i definetly want something i can see inside of however.
IMHO you went wrong with the cooler, you couldve gotten a xigmatek, noctua, or TRUE for half of its price and the coolers i mentioned will perform better than the v10, other than that you got an enthusiast build

I got a killer Rocketfish for sale. Ran a system damn near identical to yours for a while.
