Vista - Show us your rig

Yeah, the fans do lack filters, although it does have mesh-like screens over them...but yeah...opening the side of this thing you can feel the air just rushing out of it ^^

And surprisingly the fans aren't that loud... The fan on my graphics card is constantly running at 100%, which is very loud, but then again I haven't been able to try to move it any due to not having an OS on the system yet (doesn't get here till monday )

Specs are:

XCLIO A380PLUS case
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU cooler
Q6600
EVGA nForce 780i
850w Zumax x4 series
8GB G.SKILL DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
XFX 8800 GT 512MB Alpha Dog Edition
750GB Seagate 32MB Cache
3 case fans (included built-in case) 1 120mm Antec exhaust fan in back
DVD-ROM drive & CD-RW drive

any other question, let me know ^^. I'll be adding another 8800 GT soon as well.

Nice.. not bad at all.. thats a good system..

I just built my own system also.. going to install the OS here soon myself. you can go back a few pages in this thread and see my pics..

btw. what you need 8GB of RAM for.. wanna spare 4GB of it for me??

LMAO! 4 will do all you need anyways right.

lol 8GB of RAM was just to give it some extra 'umpf'.

I figured if I was going to spend all of this money on a new system I should at least make it to the fullest potential that I was able to spend (been saving for a while lol).

And yeah, your system is sweet too ^^

lol i c... you wanted that extra... ya, thats how it's done.. I got ya.. haha

cool well good luck with that.. and enjoy. I'm about to put my Mobo back in.. I just installed the Tuniq tower.. thing is massive. and the metal cut my fingers!

Heres my baby.
By the way the Noctua fans are very quiet and all of them are temp controlled for quiet, does get breezy playing crysis

Xen,

Your Graphics fan will quieten down once you have the OS installed and running. It will only run at 100% during boot or when it gets hot.

I agree though, once I'm booted into Vista the fans are not really that load. Just a slight hum.

I see.

I was hoping that was the reason. Thanks for clearing that up Brink.

haha who knew building computer could be such dangerous work...


sadly my computer isn't worth taking a picture of but one of these day's i'll tak a picture of my workstation when i get the camera.

boy, brettlarsen that monster of yours must be noisy whata piles of fans. i think u should get water cooling! LOL

Nah the fans aren't noisy at all actually. Quite quiet ^^

The fan on my graphics card is another story......
