I think she's going to be a beast.

I'll be moving my GPUs and PSU over from my old build for now, but the only thing I'm in need of is a case, which won't be here until the end of next week. =\
+internet points to anyone who sees anything odd in the picture ;)
The air vent open with Dexter blood stash sitting there?
I thought that was a roll of duct tape.Quote:

People keep telling me that Dexter is good and that I should watch it...Quote:

that is all sexy stuff!!!!!
oh can not wait to see 10 boxing :D, the new flex raids sould be doable as a boxer there kinda like LFR but better!
awesome stuff. The RAM though, how much does RAM speed really come into play here. I know when I am trying to OC to higher clock. My RAM speed has to be high to get there. Aside from that, no other value right ? Meaning if my CPU is fixed at 4.5Ghz. 1600hz RAM vs 1300hz RAM has no performance impact ?
What cooling are you planning. I've been thinking about building my water loop. Gathering parts to try it on my old PC first.
I went with 1866MHz because that's what my CPU supports, but I normally wouldn't recommend RAM speeds that are too crazy because RAM has the least amount of affect on real world performance. You're usually paying a ridiculous premium for 2400+ kits and I personally feel that they can be hit or miss as to whether your motherboard/CPU want to handle them correctly; not to mention, they're pumped full of voltage which exceeds Intel's specification (1.5V).Quote:

It shows that, on paper and in synthetic benchmarks, faster RAM speeds look great, but when it comes to real world performance -- encoding, video editing, gaming, etc -- it's pretty much all the same. You may be able to squeeze out a few extra FPS in some games, but I highly doubt it'd be noticeable.
I'm just planning on a two fan push/pull air setup with this (it's in the picture behind the fans). It's not the best-most-awesome-cooler-your-mother-has-ever-seen-in-action and it won't give me the lowest temperatures, but from the reviews I saw it should do just fine; and because I'm slightly shallow and tend to purchase things for their looks, its black matte finish should work well with the red/black theme of the board as opposed to a cooler that's polished and shiny. ;) Either way, I'm not looking to pumpt 1.5V into the CPU to try and hit 5GHz or anything like that, I would be extremely happy if I could get all six cores stable and comfortably cool at something like 4.5/4.6GHz which would be ~33% increase in clock speed.Quote:

The only problem for me at the moment is that it would take up a lot of time while I figured it all out and probably cost me an extra $1000 because, like I said, I'm a sucker for aesthetics and I would need everything to look good. ;)
Mirai is correct about ram speed, I even downgrade my ram speed for stability. My main computer has 64G ram, and 39G is the wow ram folder/drive. I'm only running 3 instances but I can fraps and have all effects on and run at 1920X1200. I fraps to the 39G ram drive as I have 10G of empty space.
The build is finished...
