You didn't (i don't think), it just that before someone asked that question and a thread turned into a huge argument, which caused the OP to get banned originally. Hence why we want to avoid those sorts of questions

I'm simply going to ignore that...
It will come soon... The build is done, so I could technically dump all of the pictures on you at once... But it's more suspenseful this way.Some nice kit you got there, can't wait to see more
I do believe you have

More? As in the box that Newegg dropped at my house?
And as soon as we crack open the box, there are components just waiting to be born!
A digging into the package a little more, we find a package within a package. This has to be important...
Eeh... Not too important. Liking the MX4 compound though.
...Newegg sent me the wrong power adapter... It's a $5 cable, but it totally derailed the project.
The other thing in that package was the MASSIVE tube of Arctic Cooling MX-4.
Anyways, back to the package. I decided on 2 Sapphire 7950 OC 950MHz cards. I wanted to get more later on, but it seems they've been discontinued.
The Dominator GT Ram!!! 32GBs of it!!! This is 8 dimms, 4gb each, and they run at 2133.
2 Corsair Neutron GTX 240gb SSD's, because Raid 0 is awesome!
An Intel 3930k, because 12 threads at 3.2GHz is beast!
-------------------------
Now, lets take another look at that spiltter that Newegg sent...
This is what I got... Not at all what I ordered...
Fry's Electronics to the rescueeeee!!!!!
And this is the adapter I actually ordered. I need this to connect the power to my SSD's, so you can see how it is quite important.

32GB Dominator GT :O Thats some expensive shit right there :L
Good choice on the graphics cards btw And the MX4

Yeah, two sets of that was kinda expensive. But I was originally going to get 2 680's, and with the money I saved by getting the 7950's, I could easily buy the ram and still spend less.
And the industrial sized tube of thermal compound will come in handy when I watercool this build.
:drool: :drool:

Picture timeeeee! And since both the CPU, and the SSD's don't have too much to see, I will put them together.
3930k box. Quite a waste of space, considering it doesn't include a cooler.
So many pads! That correspond to all of those pins in the socket!!
Dat Storage!
I'm loving the look of these SSD's.
It's so thin!!!

RAM!!!!
Here's what a single stick looks like. They're pretty sexy!
The specs on the ram. It's pretty decent stuff (and it better be for how much it cost me).
Because one stick of ram is boring...
All those heat spreaders!! Too bad I will be watercooling them later on. And yes, I do need to watercool my ram, because you have to overvolt it to 1.6v to be stable with 8 dimms, and it runs hot at that voltage.

...You sure it's the RAM that needs over volting and not the CPU memory controller?
RAM never needs watercooling unless you're seriously pushing the overclocks (which you aren't) and even then you'd have to be running 24/7 memtests for them to actually get too hot. 1.5 to 1.6v won't really do anything you'd need to worry about.
You'd be running the RAM at its rated specs - and not doing massive RAM intensive applications 24/7.
It will be fine.

Yeah its NOT the ram you just need to set the BIOS up right, 32GB of ram is not for beginners.......

Both of this^^
1.65v is the rated spec for those sticks so no overvolting required.
If you want speed then you should of bought the Samsung ECO sticks instead of those.
Watercooling Ram is a bling thing and absolutely pointless....if it was DDR2,then you have a point but DDR3? No.

watercooling ram is for n00000bs.

Well, I want to keep the timings down a bit. It gets up to like 60c.
Well, I don't know where to start, because so many people have told me so many different things.
Well, they were stated at 1.5 volts when I bought them. So you mean they're supposed to be at 1.65?
Umm... I am afraid of this badge. Why do I have a feeling it won't be nice.watercooling ram is for n00000bs.

And I am also partially doing it for asthetics. The ram is red, but the build is blue (will explain later). I don't want to paint my ram heat fins. Plus, you would be a liar if you said this doesn't look good.
