Isn't this the SHOW US YOUR i7 rig? Not the "type in your i7 rig which may or may not really exist" thread?

WarezNimph · 11th December 2008, 7:54 PM

Core i7 920 @3200ghz
GB X58 Extreme

I wouldn't bother either... if you want to watercool the n/b wait a few weeks and grab an after market n/b block. There's a few guys out there now making them for the gigabyte x58 layout

How are people finding their 4870X2's in this kinda setup? I'm not seeing a huge difference in L4D/Crysis at all compared to my Q6600/4870 setup?

Something I'm not doing right? I've got 4870X2 + 4870... 8.12's.

Also, is there any program which gives the balancing of the power between the cards, so I know which / if any GPU is being used? NVIDIA have it for SLI, but no idea for Crossfire/X

dalien · 12th December 2008, 2:05 AM

well this sucks....I was waiting to post my rig once I could give a result under water.
so today i added the water block for the cpu, and its seem that the GPU crapped itself, board posts fine( displays FF code) but no video signal

So will borrow a video card tomorrow to confirm.

also who would guess i am finding my MM horizon case to small for a dual loop

Some good looking rigs/descriptions..

I look forward to seeing the P6T6 build.. that should be smokin..

My Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme and Bolt through kit finally got here..

But still waiting on my TIM to arrive. Should have the stock cooler gone by tomorrow..

I also ordered several low RPM Yate Loons to augment air cooling...They are very quiet..

Placed on in the upper compartment of the P182 and GPU temps dropped 6C at load..

Yeh same... I'm waiting for the P6T6 Revo before I go core i7. That looks to be one nice mobo. There's enuff clowns out there with Gigashat boards.

shippuuden · 12th December 2008, 8:34 AM

On that ..... whats the point of going the UD5 over the DS4?

Ill be buying an i7 rig soon, they seem fairly similar to me though.
