What you mean?

An overclocked 7970 beating out 3 GTX 580's?

Unlock what processors on what card?

oh dam something wrong with me yes...i thought the 7970 was 1536 stream processors with 512 locked...now watch a spec chart there and see they unlock all 2048...well...amd might be in trouble if rumors are true

Yeah...lol.

not much room,because of the sound card...

xaira · Postby **xaira** » March 10th, 2012, 11:21 pm

look nice, but them 2 side fans dont need to be there to me, the lower 1 is for the gpu...what the smaller 1 4?

nismo007 · Postby **nismo007** » March 10th, 2012, 11:27 pm

just found the small fan laying around,so I just decided stick it somewhere.But I'll remove it since there is no point of it.

Nice but as a man say the small fan ain't serving a purpose....the rear fan is a xigmatech?

@Mickey I paid about $340 sumt to clear my monitor.

na,antec.I also got a fan inside that air duct...So I might remove the large fan as well.

ummm isnt the gpu in the wrong slot or are they all x16 on rog boards?

All of them are physical x16 slots. Only when you install multiple gpus then the bandwidth will split up like this : x16/x16/x8/x8

Negative. Its a fan, its cooling something. Keep it.

System looks awesome bro! Good choice of Hardware as well! I must say you catch my attention there..Well done!

If it aint clean, I dont want it!

Ever saw mine?

The air duct which holds the graphics card has a place for a fan, 120mm i believe.

Probably he meant the fan sitting on the power supply.

@Chiney Yeah thanks.I'll remove the fan anyway,because its little noise maker as well.Would like to see yours though....

@iM@st@1 Where there is the corsair sticker,got a 120mm fan inside there.

was gonna say that myself, once a fan is improperly mounted the vibrations tend to turn into noise, like to keep the amount of fans to a minimum (hdd+cpu+exhaust/psu) and if the chipset makin toasty

That's a fan in the optical drive bay area right? What it supposed to be cooling?

Those LEDs look really bright. Sorta blinding in fact. :shock:

iM@st@1 · Postby **iM@st@1** » March 11th, 2012, 9:34 pm

Yea a 140mm xigmatech, this thing instantly lowered overall sys temps...now run a constant 29-30°, providing sum cool air across the ram & mobo.

Actually had it on the brightest setting, it's adjustable tho

HCCA · Postby **HCCA** » March 11th, 2012, 9:44 pm

^^So what about the 200mm side panel fan? Not using it?

I cut out the area behind the mesh so i don't have the fan blocking view of the cpu/gpu liquid cooling connections. Was going to put a clear side but it looks good with the mesh for now.

iM@st@1 · Postby **iM@st@1** » March 11th, 2012, 10:15 pm

Don't really use the side panel again, kina like the full view now. Will mod my panel ina timin with a full plexi window. Good with the fan setup, not adding anym.

@Chiney liking your build bro,can't compete with you.Great job!

@iM@st@1 nice build.Painted the case?

Postby **nervewrecker** » March 12th, 2012, 8:11 am

Whats a nice 5.1 or 3.1 soundcard for someone on a budget?

It will be nice if the software comes with eq, time alignment, highpass, bandpass &/ or low pass crossover frequencies as well.

I once had an onboard card with a dedicated sub out, menaing it was strictly bass that came through not fullrange & you have to use an external low pass filter with it.
