Long time fan of OC3D/ First time system builder

[peterleo]

Hello to everyone!

I've just finished my first build. I've been reading the threads and watching the youtube channel to get as much information as I could get.

I've decided on most of the components after reading your guys discussions and watching the youtube channel reviews.

I just completely finished the build, and EVERYTHING went absolutely perfectly, thanks to all the information I got here. I was really amazed, I wasn't expecting everything to go so smoothly.

I haven't done any OC'ing yet, but I plan to start soon after doing some more research.

Anyway, just wanted to say HI!

nice rig but don't run a 990x at stock, if you don't know how to over-clock check out the over-clocking topic.

Your PC have similar specs to mine, just that I'm from the green team.

anyway, welcome to the forum!!

Thanks for the worm welcome guys!!!

I'll post some pics below. I'm still waiting to receive the cooler master megaflow 200 red led fan for the side intake and a couple of red Akasa neons, so the build isn't really eye candy yet.

System overview:

triple monitor:

HAF-really means HIGH air flow - dust building up on side fan

I'll post some more pics after the last "touches".

Just finished running 3dMark Vantage build 1.0.1 on Extreme with a score of X18738 overall/ 18317 GPU/ 33232 CPU. Is my GPU score low? Could this mean there's something wrong with my GPU setup?

If anyone would like to see a pic of a particular part of the rig, or how some things fit, please let me know, and I'll be happy to post it!

That's a really nice configuration. I really liked the contrast of the nvidia edition hafx.

Don't know why they didn't do something like that but with red...

I'll rev it up, I just wanted to see first that my system was completely stable and working well at stock before OC'ing. I did this to be sure that system instability after OC'ing wasn't because of faulty hardware.

I'll start rev'ing it up soon, and will let you guys know what progress I have.

Welcome to the fold dude. BTW MOAR PICS!!!!

I can't believe it's Tiny Tom, the guy who's reviews I've been watching for months now. I think you'll see a lot of the components you recommend in my build.

I'm happy to be a part of the OC3D community!

I'll post some more pics as soon as I receive my neons and led fan.

Cheers!
