SOON TO UPGRADE TO NEW I7 RIG

[NavyChief]

I have the same memory cooler NAVYCHIEF, how do u like it ? I think it would be better if it was more low profile w/an extension bracket for higher profile ram sticks.

I like the OCZ XTC Memory Cooler V2. Yes, it does sit high above the memory but the increased distance allows for better circulation in and around the memory sticks. Also, some of the newer memory has fairly tall heat spreaders and the OCZ's clearance is needed for these. The cooler's height is actually lower than the video cards so I do not see height as any real obstacle. I prefer the increased height so that the cool air is directed not only on the memory sticks but also to the surrounding areas of the motherboard.

I like the blue LED fans also. It really enhances the interior of the case and the LED on/off switch is a nice feature for those times when you do not want the blue lights on.

[NavyChief]

CPU Cooler: CUSTOM WATERCOOLING 3/4 TUBING DUEL 120MM RAD AND 800 LPH OCZ PUMP EK HIGH PERFORMACE PLEXI CPU BLOCK

Love the cooling setup. I want to use a full-size tower for my next setup so that I can try out some water-cooling equipment.

[FALLEN]

YES FULL TOWERS ROCK you should run a bench with futermark vantage i have a post about our bench marks in the forums

[NavyChief]

Yes, I really like the room that a full tower case offers.

I am looking at the Futuremark website and there are 2 different benchmark programs:
3DMark Vantage
PCMark Vantage

Both will work with the Windows 7 operating system. It sounds like the 3DMark is the package designed for the gamer computers and the PCMark for the normal computers. Is the 3DMark software the one I should use to really test it?

[Schlup]

3DMark measures graphics performance and PCMark measures PC performance or (CPU) performance.

[captininsano]

Nice case but one question.... Are you afraid of calbe management? it wont bite

[seawolfxix]

That's the best cable management I can accomplish.  The cables on that power supply are not very flexible.

And I don't really care what it looks like, as long as it works.

[captininsano]

Ya your got a point there.

That's really good for a 13 year old, I didn't have anything like that when I was 13!  In fact when I was 13 I had Packard Bell desktop with a 13 inch monitor.  It had an Intel 50MHz processor, 4MB or RAM, 500MB Hard Drive, 4x CDROM, 1.44 Floppy Disk, integrated video, integrated sound, internal 2400bps modem, running DOS and Windows 3.0

.... btw cables are only out cause side panel is pulled way out

[NavyChief]

That's a good set up. I like how you used the black corrugated tubing for cable management.

Definitely you need to get a good gaming headset with mic so you can hear all the little nuances (footsteps) better and talk with the team.

Love the water cooling setup. That will definitely be one of my next projects once I get a full tower case.

[captininsano]

Ya the loom i used 2 wrap the wires help alot and btw my case is a mid tower lol the part i love about my water cooling is the toobs are so short and look clean.... and Yes i want a nice razor headset or something nice .... and i do have a mic just not a headset and mic just a mic and speakers


ooo and i just got battle field bad company 2 like 15min ago cant wait 2 pwn u noobs

[FALLEN]

aka fallen tech helped him build it with some old parts gpu water block and rez the rest he worked his but off to get and it looks great i think the mods he did to the case its self look great good job little bro

Just did a Heaven Benchmark and got a score of 851 that good?

[Destro]

That's really good for a 13 year old, I didn't have anything like that when I was 13!  In fact when I was 13 I had Packard Bell desktop with a 13 inch monitor.  It had an Intel 50MHz processor, 4MB or RAM, 500MB Hard Drive, 4x CDROM, 1.44 Floppy Disk, integrated video, integrated sound, internal 2400bps modem, running DOS and Windows 3.0

When I was 13, I believe I still had the IBM PC jr I got when I was 10.  It had 64K of memory..that's right; not M, K. It had a 4.7 MHz and no HDD.  It ran everything from it's 5 1/4 floppy drive.

[Schlup]

My grandma had a computer that ran everything from a tape cassette player!  That was my first computing experience...all I could do on it was play blackjack.

Amm0, do you have an exhaust fan on the top of the case?  If so you are good, if not you'll want to think about pointing your CPU exhaust toward the back to get it out quicker.

[Got_Amm0]

yeah i got an exhaust fan on the back and a 140mm exhaust fan on the top too

[captininsano]

Hey schlup when are you posting your pc?...

[tehfunk101]

Hey schlup when are you posting your pc?...

scroll up, he posted his specs and 16 pictures!

edit: he does need updated pc pics though

[NavyChief]

Amm0, that is a really nice setup!! The cable management is clean and the whole thing look impressive.

Now to install all the software and let it come alive.

[captininsano]

I agree got_ammo u got yourself a nice rig there what os are u putting on it? vista or w7.... tell me how it runs.

[Got_Amm0]

thanks guys, im running windows 7 home edition. today  i get my fans for my custom 3 fan side window ill post pics once its done today. I love this setup and it overclocked without having to change the voltage always a plus.

[captininsano]

Nice how you likeing w7? never used it b4 or seen it...

[Malhovic]

Windows 7 is NICE, especially compared to Vista. I would have to say it is the new Windows XP once you get used to it. I am running 7 Home Premium and don't really have any issues with it. I have been running 7 since Beta days.

[tehfunk101]

Im with malhovic on this one.  When i upgraded to Vista from XP, i had moments where i looked back and missed some things, but when going to 7, everything was better, and i never looked back to xp or vista.  I would recommend it to anyone!

[NavyChief]

When you do go to Windows 7, I would also seriously consider going with the 64-bit version. It takes full advantage of all your memory and runs very stable.

[Malhovic]

I have to whole heartedly agree with Navy and tehfunk here!

64-bit is definitely the way to go!

[Schlup]

The next version of Windows...Windows 8 will ONLY be offered in 64 bit.

[NavyChief]

The next version of Windows...Windows 8 will ONLY be offered in 64 bit.

Would not surprise me at all. This would ensure that people will older processors will have to upgrade to newer CPUs in order to install it. Boost to both AMD and Intel.

[tehfunk101]

Would not surprise me at all. This would ensure that people will older processors will have to upgrade to newer CPUs in order to install it. Boost to both AMD and Intel.

If people are still using x86 only cpu's in this day and age, they probably dont care what version of windows their running anyway lol

[Schlup]

Yeah, I haven't heard of an x86 chip being sold in years.
