Thanks John.. Yea it has been a blast, and I love it. I had the H20 cross my mind time, and time again. and I just kept saying no to myself, or thinking it was crazy, or to extreme. (Or that when a girls see's it. I'm for sure not getting laid). haha. but after all. I did it. and i LOVE IT.
It is just sweet, it impresses everyone that comes over, if the machine didn't already. and it's just cool man. like pimpin cool, and temp cool.
my Quad runs 4.0 Ghz at 26c.. are you kidding. lol and it reaches a full load temp of 38c. thats what my Q6700 idled at.
Yea I remember you getting the SLI 260's. but did you know that I got a second also until now?? and I knew about the dual monitors also. common now john. I've not been gone that long! did you see I got rid of my 22's and went for the Samsung T240. it's an amazing monitor. it's better than my brother's 22 HP, and Acer. and both of my Samsung 22's.. it's there TOC line. touch of color. and it's true. it's simply the best monitor I've ever had.
(and did I tell anyone here yet that I'm getting a second 24
I had to, I loved duallies) Yup. I'm doing it. I said it here first.
the Cooler Master HAF 932 is not the best looking case ever, I personally think it's sort of ugly. but it's the performance it's all about. I mean comon. Look at that. I'm able to fit ALL that stuff in there withough breaking a sweat, and if you don't want to use there AMAZINGLY convienent pre drilled holes on top to mount a dual, or triple Rad for H20, then you can leave there stock 230mm 110 CFM fan up top that is dead silent!! it's a great case man. I highly recommend it. the 840 is ok, but it's older, and cable management sucks on it. and the Cosmo's is ok, but it's to thin, and you can't use your Tuniq, or a TRUE and still have side fans, they don't fit. so that sucks. but they are nice cases for water also.
oh and the eVGA classified is going to be the $#!T. it's just hands down the best motherboard ever made. never before can someone run triple SLI, and a 4th card for Physx. or a 5th card for sound. if you get triple SLI, you have to give up your great sounding sound card, but not anymore with classified. (but at a high price)
So you spend the dough and got the i7 965 Extreme huh.. thats crazy. shoulda just got the 940. it will do everything the 965 will do. the Xtreme chips are only for xtreme overclockers on water, or Nitrogen.. if you're not planning on doing to much overclocking. might as well have got the 920. (they aren't like your Q6600 that some aren't good overclockers) with a good cooler, any 920 can hit 4.0 Ghz, and any 940 can do ever higher. they overclock very well.
you can do 4.0 Ghz with EASE on that 965, but summer time comes the D0 stepping i7 975.. it will rock.
Water-cooling is actually not as hard as it sounds, and it is safer than you'd think also.. as long as you use distilled water, it's free of minerals and junk, it's not very conductive like tap water, and little leaks are not killers!
very far from poor but not as good as most systems. if you throw me all the stuff you got from the first picture, i wouldnt have a clue gunther, not a clue at all.
