Alright so I have a ton of pictures of the evolution of my PC since it was conceived around the release of the 4870. Her name is molly and she's done a lot with my Gigabyte X48T-DQ6!
Some little bit ago I caught ahold of the i7 sail and got swept up, so she's going through a life change as her LGA775 parts are worked out of the picture.
Here's a bit of history:
E8400 on a CPU340 Koolance cooler & Sapphire 3870 (thnx to my friend Jessie for letting me borrow)
E8600 on the CPU340 & HD4870 on the VID470 cooling block!
Surely this is madness! Another water cooled HD4870??!?!?
I wanted to remodel (special thanks to nflesher for the case)... Transitioned to air cooling, a q9550, 1600MHz ram, and a 4870x2~
The plan:
is to go Hybrid. i7 920 processor on water much like Fitseries with the Swiftech Apogee GTZ on a small loop using my res/pump combo, and a PA 120.3 which I'm going to somehow squeeze into the Lian Li V1000 Plus II. The motherboard will be an x58 ASUS Rampage II Extreme, attempting for 6gb of DDR3 3x2gb @ 1600MHz, a 640gb WD HDD (nothing special there), and a Gigabyte GTX280 for gaming/folding.
If anyone would like screens of benchmarks that I've done with my E8400, E8600 or Q9550 and various gfx cards/ram speeds LET ME KNOW! I'll have this computer up and running for another... 2-3 hours
The Problem!
How do I get a PA 120.3 into a Lian Li V1000 Plus II??? I have a couple ideas which include renovating the bottom of the chassis or mouting it to the rear of the system with the middle of the radiator sharing the exhaust port of the case.
