New To Forums.... Would like feedback on my setup..

d44ve · Apr 17, 2007

This is my setup :

Case : Antec 9 Hundred
Motherboard : Asus Striker Extreme
CPU : Intel E6600
OC'd to 3.55 GHZ

PSU : Antec NEO HE550
RAM : PNY PC5300

Video Card : EVGA 8800 GTS
GPU Core OC'd to 650 MHZ
GPU Memory OC'd to 960 Mhz

HardDrive : Western Digital 320GB
DVD Drive : HP Lightscribe

Water Cooling Setup :

Pump\Resevior : Asetek Waterchill
Primary Radiator : DD Black Ice Xtreme II with 2 Evercool 120mm Fans
Backup Radiator : Thermaltake Aqua T.M.G 1 with Thermaltake 120mm fan
Video Block : Koolance 8800GTS waterblock
CPU Waterblock : Thermaltake 208 Copper Waterblock

I am running the DangerDen Radiator behind the front two fans and behind that I made a platform for the pump and resevior. I hope you can see everything.... please tell me what you think

Right now I am running at 3.55 GHZ and my load temps barley hit 39c

Pretty nice

, overall The looping of the water tubes is pretty nice, some small room for improvement.

Better than my System!

EWW BAN HIM

(Nah Joking...Dells are good for one thing, BTX)

Joshmcmillan · Apr 17, 2007

Your hole case is pretty neat. How noisy is the hole computer in general?

d44ve · Apr 17, 2007

surprizing quite!

The two front fans run at 35% and the backup runs at 20%.

TO compare, it is alot quiter than one 120mm fan running near full speed.

Thats a nice setup. Could use better memory than PNY but hey, can't always have the best.. The water cooling system makes it a bit messy with all the extra tubes and hoses and stuff, radiators, etc. BTW what are you getting for temps? Video card, etc?

EDIT:::::::: A modular PSU would probably help with a little bit of the clutter in the back, although it's not seen, it's still there.. :\ Also, your power supply is upside-down, no air getting sucked out really..

Overall I like it, nice setup

8/10

d44ve · Apr 17, 2007

Yeah I am not at all happy with the PNY memory.... will be upgrading that when the funds become available.

As far as temps....

My CPU runs at 28c at idle and at a full load running on HOT CPU TEMP on both cores the temp MIGHT touch 39c

The card before the waterblock would run 75c and UP!

Now it runs at 45c under a very heavy load.

Hi there.

That's a nice watercooling setup you have. And of course i like your Antec case to.

Excelent parts except for the ram then, but hey i can't say anything because i have crappy 1 gb Dane Elec. :laugh:

Take a look at our case/mod gallery. It's a great place to show of your case. :rockout:

d44ve · Apr 17, 2007

Yeah I have come to find out that the RAM is no good.... what do you guys suggest?

technicks · Apr 17, 2007

I heard this is some good ram. The Kingston HyperX 2 GB DDR2-900 Kit.
It's pretty cheap for it's performance.

d44ve · Apr 17, 2007

would you recomend it over the G.Skill 800?

technicks · Apr 17, 2007

I would go for the Kingston ram because i know it's good.
Also those sticks have a good oc performance.
Altough i just read some review about the OCZ 8500 Reaper. Is not to bad also.

d44ve · Apr 17, 2007

Alright, well this is what I picked up

technicks · Apr 17, 2007

. That's some nice ram. I think that will be a lot better. More power to oc. :toast:

Oh and the price is not to bad at all.
