Nice, I got that board on my test bench, it's next on my review list, but first, ASUS Maximus V Gene! Gonna be interesting to see how the two compare...

Indeed, I am waiting for some tips on how to use this baby, there are so many OCing features on the board I have barely any idea on what they do or what they're good for. So far only Eastune is able to read my board's CPU Vcore though lol.

AIDA64 is usually pretty reliable. If it doesn't work, I submit a report to them, and they usually get it working pretty quickly(usually within a couple of days). One of my most favorite testing apps, really; if you don't have a copy, you should get one. It's also the suggested method for stability testing IvyBridge right now(but I'm persoinally still using all the regular ones too).


That BIOS I'm pretty familiar with now, used at least a couple of products with it ;). Lots of options, but most you don't need to worry about. Manually set vDIMM, vCPU, and IMC voltages and use Turbo multis to overclock. It's really that simple, the board will take care of the rest.
 
Too bad it must go...

A few more toys...


My new Server and HTPC rigs :) These things are awesome!! Such low power usage and no issues with running any program at all..
The HTPC uses a total of 24w at most whilst watching a full 1080P movie and the server with all the drives and fans etc connected, uses 22w at the desktop at idle :) I really love these AMD setups!! Its just such a shame AMD can't really compete with Intel at the top levels :(
The 650w PSU in the first pic with the server, used a fair bit more power than the 350w model that was in the second picture.. Very interesting results :)

Waddaya mean it must go? :confused:

They looks nice right where it is, with it's advanced air cooling, special case and all. :cool:

How are your temps and noise level in this contraption?

Anyway, thanks for the cool pics.

Haha Soup! cool CoOleR man!

I betcha its pretty quiet as that's a real small A/C unit?
 
On full load, if I disconnect the vents, this can heat my house.

It's gotta go because of the noise(VERY loud) and I failed to take into account tiered electricity costs... $390 bills are no fun!

I believe you. Was afraid it was loud, and not surprised about the bill. They all have to be sucking a lot juice. :eek:

Perhaps you can keep one or two in some smaller enclosures. :D

Yeah but can't you pay with your BitCoins? :laugh:
 
Holy shit man. That is alot of gear. You could sell those 5850s for a decent sum
 
I hate to see some of these cards hanging at an angle because they have nothing to get secured into other than the PCI-E slot. Crazy setup though, have you ever considered just using 4U rack chassis?

That looks freakin good with the braid on the hose like that give it a slight industrial look
 
I'll be going wc soon. currently have H70 on 920 cpu. I want to get the following

swiftech triple rad, dd pump and ek water blocks for cpu and three gpus. I will be running this rig in an haf 932 adv case and I will be getting clear hosing and red coolant plus flashing red cathodes to compliment the case and work. 900$ bucks is curretn quote fully setup.

Depending on the GPU's, I would have thought a triple rad was a little bit on the small side for cooling. Maybe you could look into a bigger rad? or have more than one rad/loop? Or keep the H70 for the CPU and run the custom loop on the GPU's only.

Enjoy the WCing mate :) You will love it.
 
Went Z77... I should of went Sabertooth :banghead:
