i7 and i5 owners thread - please show us your rig

Yeah, I dont think i will ever get three cards, but I hate to not have the option

 

ud5? too much :/

 

couple of pics of my rig. i7 940, 6GB Patriot Viper 1600mhz, Gigabyte X58 Extreme

 

Got an i7 920, Asus P6T-D and 6GB of gskills PC1066 ram, will post pics and whatnot when I get home on the 31st.... can't wait It smells..... soooooo goood.

 

Yeh I LOVE that new hardware smell! I am sitting here next to a brand new ASUS N10 and it's stinking gorgeous!

Don't know what that "new hardware smell" actually is but it smells awesome!

For a while there when I was working in desktop support for a few years I actually got sick of that smell. That's when I knew it was time to get out!

 

I find it's usually the smell of fresh PCB and silicone that gives it that awesome tang.

 

First Core i7/X58 build

​

audio cable

 

that seems like a very oldschool way of doing it

 

Cannot wait for somewhere to actualy stock the lp x58. Got my i7 & 6 gig of g skill ddr3 ram sitting next to me.

 

got my new toys today

 

almost exactly what i bought...

except i went with corsair ram...

 

at least you can choose which pci slot to use that way heh

nice

shameless plug but all you folks with i7 rigs, feel free to join my hwbot team - i4memory.com hwbot team faq on how to join http://www.hwbot.org/hwbot.faqs.and.guides.do

currently we're ranked #9 in the world http://www.hwbot.org/profile.team.do?teamId=1210

 

Yeah thats right eva , the i7 rigs should be put to good use : Our hwbot team

 

Hopefully the honourable ones might remember their roots and stay with us , I see lots of ocau members have chosen to change colours .

Shameless indeed .

 

A change from OCAU to i4 is an upgrade Pete. From n00b to 1337.

 

Standing next to a leet guy doesnt make you leet as well .

Im happy benching here with my mates .

Anyway back OT- nice rigs guys , hootie how does your rig bench ? Thats a nice , not-over-the-top rig .

 

well i have just found out they have sold me 1333mhz ram, not 1600mhz like i paid for.

So i have to go back tomorrow and get my ram...

hmmm...

 

darn.. don't you hate that when something is incorrectly sent !

 

Sorry Eva , all respects to you and your work but poaching players sux . Most members here would not have the extreme power to improve your world rankings anyway , you could ask the few extremists here if they want to change teams but I think most that want to would have already done so .

OT- thats a bummer hootie , get onto them about it asap.

All i7 owners , if you bench your rigs could you get your scores into the ranking threads so we can see how much of a gain we get from these cpus ?

 

nah he didn't send it....he sold it to me over the counter like that...i didn't even check...so partly my fault...

but a pain now...lose an hour going there and back...
