Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

Lookin good Linkin,Thats a nice PSU...I like my OCZ psu i just wish it had that little bit longer leads :/

Its always the 24pin & Pci-e cables that are too short if you wantto do some serius cable managment:D
 
If you're going for absolute lowest temps, why not lap those coolers? The GPU especially could probably see a good 5-10c decrease with some 2000 grit wet sand paper. Just look at how ruff the factory finish is!

Granted, kinda too late now I suppose...

I'm kinda worried about the heatpipes. and warranty on the chip (until i get a new one that is)

I do wish the 8 pin cable was a tad longer. any shorter and I would've had to run it over the motherboard ._.

and the 24pin is immovable :(
 
My new benching station!

Since like 6 months ago... lol
It's a small one. Keeps dual cores down to -40c and quads down to about -35 to -30

I only use it for benching....air cooled on a megahalems for 24/7 usage.

Looks awesome 87dtna,Hows the Xeon?...thats like a £600-700+ processor you have there :eek:

That Xeon alone is probably worth more than my entire system :D
 
Little Devil unit? or someone else?

Custom built from a member on overclockers forums.

Well, new they go for as much as a 980x and that would just be dumb. I bought it used, for quite a huge bit less, nearly half the price of a 980x. And since it clocks to 3.8ghz at such low voltage, it's essentially an overclocked 980x thats on stock volts anyway. I'm not positive what stock volts are on a 980x, I think around 1.2x.
And as for performance, it's an absolute beast. It's insane, besides benching I don't think I could ever use more than 20% cpu usage LOL.
 
Went to the hardware store for some supplies (we are renovating) and also got some zip ties and 600/800/1200 grit sandpaper... I'll be lapping my GPU :)

Oh and:

that's what the zip ties were for.
 
Well... After 3 hours of sanding... I'll let these pictures speak for themselves...

All the stuff

My G5 weight case.

It came in useful (that's sandpaper)

New idle temps... 3c cooler than before:
