New rig (lots of pics)

[jamR]

Didn't know where to post this so please move if its in the wrong place thanks.

So... i've been hovering over these forums without a post or two for quite a long while now, but now i've got the new rig as of yesterday (21/09/10) I figured why not post it eh.

SCROLL DOWN FOR BETTER PICS

Specs:

i7 950 @ 3.66

Thermaltake Frio cooler

P6X58D-E

6GB Corsair Dominator 8-8-8-24

HIS Radeon 5770 1GB

Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB

Samsung Lightscribe 22x optical drive

Antec 1200

Antec CP 850

no mods as of yet, but here are some pics (mind the dust I've done my best)

Start off with the messy... Spaghetti Junction

Moving on..swiftly Shot of the Xtreme Phase thingy

The Dominators...

A very dusty cpu cooler... (never clean a case just after you've put new stuff in)

The 5770

All done, not plugged in with side window off

Another angle

Stickers D

Plugged in and turned on with side panel off

And now on...

And (nearly) finally, a pic of the monitor etc

And the obligatory cpu-z, idle temps and prime95 temps

and I apologise for the poor quality of the photos, they're only phone shots (nokia 5530) but the close up shots seem to be ok

Cheers guys!

haha

noisy at full speed, but what can you expect at like 2500rpm though i only see a few degrees drop compared to lowest settings

3.8ghz oc is ok but when i got to 4ghz it cant keep it under 80 so a no go i would rather a noctua nh-d14 lol

but still not a bad performer

aye VERY noisy, haha.

i only use it on the lowest atm in my antec 1200

at 4ghz 1.26v it doesn't go above 70's so, fairly good for me
