[QUOTE="C_Rule"]Nice. The SSD setup seems a bit necessary, though. 128GB is enough for a primary drive. Or you could have gotten two of the same and put them in RAID 0.[/QUOTE]
SSDs were bought at different times, Vertex2 was in my previous PC which I brought over when I bought the new PC. Put a 60GB Vertex2 into the backup PC when I took the 120GB out of it.
I have all my games on the Vertex2 120GB except for TERA which is like 30GB on its own so that's on the M4 atm.
I ordered a U2410 lol.

The above information is absolutely, 100% true. Unless you prove it to be false, and then in that case, I really don't care.

Nice build! What are the acoustics like? You have like a bazillion fans in there. I would go nuts at the noise :/
- Jun 10, 2012 7:35 pm GMT

Its not too bad, tho i was used to a scythe ultra kaze with my megahalems and that was alot louder...but this is alot cooler and quieter.

I just love that my PC is pretty much silent now specially considering it's sitting on my desk right next to me.
I used to think my reference HD6970 was quiet (was set to 33% fan speed and used to sit on 35-40°C). Compared to my GTX-670 it's a vacuum cleaner. Anything over 40% fan speed and it was clearly audible even from outside my room.
My GTX-670 sits on 25°C with only 23% fan speed which is moot since my case fans are louder than my GPU. I can only start to hear my GPU once it's around 60% fan speed which it would never need to get to, even after 3-4 hours in game the GPU sits on 55-60°C with 40% fan speed. While running the Heaven benchmark and 3dMark11 I set the fan speed to 50% and it sat on 59-60°C.

Without RAM it's not likely to run :P
Other than that it looks good, I would have changed a couple things personally but mostly due to personal experience and preference otherwise a great PC, sure you'll be really pleased with how it runs :D

Some benchies, couldnt break p7000 just yet, maybe some thinkering will allow it to happen.
I wasnt so lucky with the chip, since is really power hungry 1.3v for 4.2ghz and 1.37 4.5ghz, currently on 4.8ghz v1.48. Not good seems like 4.1ghz is the magic number for max stability under 1.3v.

Nice rig. I personally don't like the looks though. White case with blue LEDs and PCBs, and then throw in red LED fans with huge grills. Other than color it looks very clean and tidy.
