After a month of planning and purchasing, I have finally put together my 5820K build. I cannot do this without the help from fellow TPU members. Here are some pictures of my build process.
Final system spec:
CPU: 5820K OC 4.2GHz
MoBo: ASUS Sabertooth X99
Cooler: Noctua D15 with two 14mm fans.
RAM: ADATA DDR4-2800 32GB(4x8GB)
GPU: (Still using old 5870, might go for Fiji or GTX980 later)
SSD: Crucial MX200 500GB
HDD: HGST 4TB(I was planning on reuse my WD Black 2TB, but end of putting those two 2TB in my HTPC)
Case: Fractal Design R5 with side window. Installed one extra GP14 fan in the front
Optic Drive: ASUS 12X BD Drive
Monitor: Acer K272HUL 27'' 1440p IPS
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 850Watt
Mouse: Logitech Master MX
Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry Blue.
NIC: Atheros AR9380(Will get some broadcom based 11ac adapters when I get a new router)
So first thing first, one picture before the installation:
CPU, RAM and heatsink:
Installed on the Sabertooth X99
PSU:
Testing the fitment of the D15. I ended up raise the front 14mm fan up 2 fins to clear the heatsink of the ADATA RAM.
SSD in and wiring:
All done!
Right now I have tried as high as 4.7GHz CPU and 3GHz on RAM. However I have to push the RAM to 1.35v to reach 3GHz. The per core temperature is at ~83C max during AIDA64 stress test. It was stable for during the 4hrs of stress test. However I dont feel comfortable with core temp over 80C so right now I am using 4.2GHz. Now during stress test the core temps never breach 70C.
One last step will be getting the right graphic card. Hopefully AMD;s Fiji will be good enough to force down the price of GTX980. From the looks of it AMD want to Fiji their version of Titan. I can only spend as much as $550 on graphic card so I will probably have to pass on Fiji.
And thanks again for all those who helped me out. It has been quite some time since I experience some top end hardware.
