Longlast The New Build is DONE-ISH

[jeepmann4x4]

Ok guys&gals after a long wait the build is done!! System Specs up-dated!
Have not ran benchmarks yet! I will run some later + have some questions at a later time. Just wanted to post the pics of the build. Still need to tidy up some wires and get some black sleeves for them.Let me know what you think!

 

[profdlp]

Very nice! I'll bet you'll have some fun with that.

 

[GeneO]

Vroooom!

 

[jeepmann4x4]

Very nice build! Good job

I was considering going with that very case for my next build. How easy was it work with?

 

[Dwarf]

Looking good and neat.

It was a breeze to work with/in. Only drew blood once and that was just a cardboard cut trying to lift this beast out of the box...lol
Cable management was/is great.... my M4E mb is an e-atx and this case makes it look small. the gpu is a long one too but case has ton of room.....

Also check out this thread by..sygnus21....here

Hehe... Nice looking system. And the case ain't bad either

If I didn't have my current system I'd definitely go for that 2600K system. Nice!

One question though: Are you really going to use those USB 3.0 ports on the front? If not dump the blue cables from the back. I turned my ports into regular ports by hooking them up to the MB and just using them as 2.0 ports. Then again I have no USB 3.0 items.

not sure yet. I don't have any thing that use's them yet but I might look into a few....plus they don't really bother me much back there..

Nice!!
You shouldn't have any trouble with case temps...with all that space, things should be frosty.

I think they are good, of course I am still feeling out the new build and parts.
Here is a snip of temps.... the first row is current while on net and with a few things running in background. the "min" is Idle and the "max" is while playing Crysis.

 

[jeepmann4x4]

sorry its been a few weeks ....but How do those temps look to you guys/gals??

 

[profdlp]

I think they look awesome. For the sake of comparison, my Core i7 920 runs 41C on the main core (good aftermarket HS/F, see my specs) and my Ati 6870 is at 53C right now with stock cooling. I can see why the SandyBridge line are considered good overclockers - there seems to be a lot of room there before you start running "hot".

Caveat: I have no personal experience with SandyBridge, nor do I know the "expected" temps for that series.

 

[DreemWarrior]

Nice build. Very clean inside. Temps look great as well. I use the H50 cooler and only run a few deg. warmer than what you have. Good job.

Why must you tease me with your powerhouse PC?
Looks nice though.

Nice rig jeepman4x4 I like how you configured the rear fan setup posted in your system specs. I originally had a EVGA HD 570 but it was DOA on install and had to settle for an Asus replacement

That sux about your 570 HD... settling for an Asus cant be that bad tho...

The fan setup saved me from buying another 120mm fan and just puttung the 140mm in a box... I just had to add small washers to keep the outer fan from rubbing the cases fan grille and use smaller screws to mount the Rad. to the case itself.

Not trying to tease anyone ...lol sure its a badass.. but it has taken a long time of saving and researching parts to get here,I had a more than a few threads posted here running setups by all the GREAT people here!
Plus now I've got to eat PB&J while my wonderful GF that said yes to the build gets steaks... Worth it tho? I think yes!!

Glad to here im not the only one that thinks the temps are good!!

Thanks to all the others that had dropped a line in this thread!! Glad you guys/gals like as I do...

Now to research OC'ing....:sarc:

I looked in your sig and saw your CPU cooler. I've been contemplating one of those since Christmas. Seeing your temps might just push me over the line and make me go and get it.
