Yeah that's awesome dude!

I just spent a good amount of time (roughly 2 hours) redoing cable management, uploading as we speak! Also jsut some general pics of all my hardware since i've never actually done it before. I'm in the mood for taking photo's lol.
 
Alright, my new pics are up! I'm putting a 56k warning on here ;)

First off, my new job on cable management. I found about 10 cable ties with the box of accessories my case came with. So i used them:

The mess on the other side of my case. this pic is before i did the new cable management, so it's even worse now. I had to use all my hands and feet to get it on, so i'm not taking it off for another photo :P

And now for my main gripe, my soundcard covers half my GPU's fan. It still idles at 34c lol. when i bought it, the picture had the reference version, so i assumed i was getting one of those :o

And i might as well give a close up of the good old soundcard:

Next up is the new PSU i got (few months old now)

And the RAM sticks... these guys have been giving me trouble, I'm not sure if its the sticks or the mobo, but i've had to up voltages, use stock speeds and loosen up the timings so i don't get random BSOD's

And now for the cable managment pics:

The only problem now is the stupidly fat 24 pin cable being so stiff and un-maneuverable :mad:

And after all that, I still felt the need for some more photos! :eek:

Yeah. I have another x16 slot but when i flip the card thing around on my board is changes both x16 slots into x8 slots... even at best, my soundcard would be running at 1x in that slot and my gpu would be running at x15 :P

Meh i can't really complain, the mobo was free after all.
 
Dice, nice. Have done any benching with it recently?

Yes, I'm saving results for when the SPI and 3dmark06 competition's come back up. I will say, 24k in vantage :eek: 06' doesn't scale quad SLI in the SM2, so it only has a 2k difference in one 9800GX2 vs two gx2's. But 2k is 2k.
 
New setup with EVGA FTW board, and now I can use my Zerotherm zen again since it has holes for 775 coolers...yay.

Oh, just one GX2 installed right now, I only really install both when benching....no need for 24/7 use.

wow nice OC 87dtna,Did you not have an i7 though?...Why you changed to I3?

Whats the temps like with that overclock? :)
 
The I7 is in the process of an RMA :o :good: So I picked up this extra spicy I3 from a buddy with ''connections''. The 550 is not even officially released yet.
 
Yeah, above 4.6 though the Vcore needs ramped up real quick to achieve stable overclock. 5ghz takes 1.50 Vcore.

Oh temps, with the Zen it tops out around 70c using real temp. Actual CPU temp is in the 30's.

Thats an awesome looking rig,The fan down the bottom on the front looks quite useless though because the HDD cage is in the way for it to be of any benifit....thats why i removed mine on my CM 690 and mounted it where the CD drives go,Much better airflow than where they stuck it.
 
nice new setup 87dtna.

how far did you manage to crank your old 860 on dice?

Thanks....this 860 was a horrible clocker, couldn't even get to 5ghz even with HT off on DICE :eek: Hoping the RMA return is a better binned chip. My other 860 that I sold awhile back would do 4.9ghz on air HT off and 4.7 with HT on. Didn't have my DICE pot when I had that chip though :(

Hoping for the new 3dmark06 challenge I can get the new I7 on DICE over 5ghz with HT on and with both GX2's to crack 30k. I got to 28.5k with this I7 at 4.9ghz no HT and quad SLI. 06' doesn't scale quad SLI on the SM2 correctly, better with the SM3 but I only gained 2k points putting in the second GX2. I scored 26.5k with one GX2.
