Number fiive is alive! It's time for another build thread. Unlike my last build, there is no water setup, this time it will be all air. Here is whats on the way:
Processor: i7 950 3.06GHz
Motherboard: ASUS Rampage III Formula
Video Cards: Visiontek 6870 (2)
Power Supply: Corsair HX 850W
Memory: A-DATA 1600MHz 6GB (3x2GB)
Case: Silverstone Fortress FT02B-W
Hard Drive: Western Digital Black 1TB SATA 6GB/s
CPU Cooling: Noctua NH-D14 (Fans will be replaced with NZXT 64CFM 140mm Fans)
The Goals
1) Build the FT02B-W as clean as possible, Eg. Hide as much wire mess as I can, improve airflow as much as possible, and make it look sexy in general.
2) 4.2GHz-4.4GHz 24/7 clock
3) Score 30K in 3DMark 06.
4) Score 30K in 3DMark Vantage.
5) Enjoy this build for at least a FULL YEAR (With my record... this is the real goal to achieve.. lol).
