"Corsair Bit" by Maiklas

[Maiklas]

Funny name, I know. Just came to mind.

This is my 2 years old rig. And recently I upgraded it. Swaped old Corsair value memory to Vengeance, added Corsair GS 240 GB SSD, installed new Corsair Air Flow fans, and throw everything to the new 690 II case.

I have overclocked my Intel i3 540 @ 4.3 ghz. and want to push more. So I will buy Corsair H100i in a short period of time.

There's my rig.

Playing with colors.

even though i find it quite weird to make it a corsair themed build and then using a coolermaster case, it's very nicely done. loving the cable management and with the AIO upgrade it should look even better.
the matx board looks so small in that case :lol:
anyways, great job mate.
/edit
keep the fans blue, fits better with the mainboard.

Thanks.

By the way, It was not intended to be a corsair themed build. I just like their products, and purchased them one by one at a time. Any of corsair case was out of my budget. Cheapest one costs 1/4 of my monthly income.

your monthly income is 200$? the 690 II isn't that much cheaper than a c70.
i assumed it was a corsair themed build because of the name.

No, I live in Lithuania. And my monthly income is about 650$.
Funny, I just opened retailers website to recheck prices, and now they are droped. Few months ago, prices was much higher, and they sold only 5 models. Now there is much more to choose from :/


Edit.

By the way, can I somehow change a post name?

no, windows score is completely retarded.
Do some proper benchmarks, 3dmark11/13/vantage, heaven, valley, catzilla(hue), etc.

There really isn't need for a h100 for your i3...

You get Kudos for the 690 case, nice and quirky little case - However an Olive metallic green C70 (As mentioned) would look absolutely epic!

How are them fans? in terms of airflow and noise? as most people seem to be using the SP versions

What benchmarking conditions should I met, for you guys to compare?

I need H100i becouse I like quet PC. My current cooler gets realy loud on load.

I was expecting more air flow out of them. But they are fine, Quet edition is quet (with 7v resistor), but mooves not as much air as I wish. And they are still audible. Performance edition, even with 7v adapter is still quite annoying, but it mooves lots of air. It's not as you call loud, but you defineatly hear them.

To sum everything up, AF140QE with 7v adaptir is realy silent, but still audible. AF120PE is powerful, pushes realy lots of air, but is quite loud with 7v. adaptor.
I had no time to test them without 7v. adaptors, but I will do...
Also I probably will throw away 7v. adaptors and will use simple 4 channel Zalman fan controller to reduce fan speed to ~800rpm.
