Oh yeah, did I mention, I'm an insomniac too? it's 12:43am here, can't sleep, work in 6 hours. As much as I don't think I should be playing with setting on this low of sleep, I am actually tempted to run to 7-11 for some bawls and pull the 5850 - clean up the HS, reapply TIM, and start working on CPU. Just to satisfy your estimate of EPEEN

Damnit guys, don't be enablers

9.5 Very good but there's always room for improvement.

SSD, SLi, and soundsystem would be what I'd add, if anything.



@Cdawall/jellyrole
Almost have 3.6 stable.

lol, yeah. It probably would help quite a bit if I pulled some sticks, but I'm just as likely to go back to stock after I get it stable. I'm burning enough watts running 2xGPU and 2xCPU F@H clients 24/7.

8.75/10 Would've only been 8-8.25, but it's nice to see someone in here witha proper sound system on their computer.


New stuff folks, need a rerate.

That must put you at around 6/10 then, as my Onkyo is better than your HK.

And the block I want isn't in stock anywhere yet. I've settled on the AquagraFX block.

I do like the 347, but my 606 is just as clean, has just as many options, but is capable of more output. It also doesn't deserve a dis.

I was just rating your system on the scale you rated mine. I figure I got a least a solid 2 points worth of processing and gpu power over you.

8.5/10 for yours, just a tad weaker than the one above.

little update on mine all the parts are in i was waiting for the evercool chipset cooler may be a little to tall to clear the PSU will try installing it later on the zalman is to big for my case so i am trying to figure a way to put the side panel on it and keep the zalman fans which stick out a smidge to far....might modders mesh a new side and bump it out a little bit.
