Awesome work dude !! and those speeds on air :morpheus:

Thanks maaddaawg! Don't worry when I get some better ram, I plan for some benches as close to 5ghz on air! ;)

I did not get the video card either till i saw the side panel again, makes sense though, matching them and all. And getting rid of the red sticker is good. Supposed to look like an nviida card not an ATi card :p

TRUE bugs me a bit (I am a little "monk"ish.) but you could always just straighten it up for pics ;)

the card doesn't look bad, don't want you to get the wrong idea. Maybe me personally I rather it without it, but it doesn't look bad, just a matter of personal taste you know. However, the whole theme is cool, matching it and all.

About the cooler, yeah bro just straighten it up for pics and twist it when not in Photography Mode :D

Sweet makes me want to go out to the shop:) But then I would have to clean it up:( I might get my bike out though:(

Filters?

That is a great job and a lot of time and effort. Congrats.

Yeah I understand about the TRUE, but the way I look at it, more important for me to be crooked in the pics, the way it is supposed to be, then compromising my cooling by continuously swiveling the cooler compromising the thermal compound ;)

I understand on the video card too, alot of what I do is personal taste, I try and make it appealing to everyone, and modders will respect it as can most for the time and effort involved, but I do not expect everyone to like everything about it.

But thanks for the props, I appreciate it, sooooo much time involved!

No I did not get the wrong idea, it takes more than that to insult me or anything, I understand it is personal taste, and appreciate everyone's comments. See above about my thoughts on the cooler. :good:

Hahahaha, yeah tell me about it, I still have a mess to clean...

Actually, the case has filters built into the bottom, which do a pretty good job, mainly for the psu, but there are no filters on the front, the front of the case keeps most stuff out of there. and just wipes right off, I about once a week just wipe the bottom off, and use air to give it a little clean up inside.

Thanks, it was a lot of work, but well worth it! :good:

Good! :)

Yeah I read the thoughts about the cooler. :thumbsup:

Check out the sig... yep on air, can't wait for my new ram!! Chilly night here in Chicago, 1.425V which was probably more than necessary. Wanna know my idle temp? 26C 36C approx on the cores!

Actually got this 1333mhz ram to survive 1800mhz, not for benching, just to boot. Not too bad.

For sale, check the marketplace!

When my 2000mhz ram gets here, oh boy she is gonna really come alive, this thing is like a sleeping giant!

Sweet, when does it arrive?

good job marcam, impressive clock for air cooling :clapping:

Should be here in a couple days, Priority mail from California! :clapping:

Thanks Bud, I think there is still more in her.

I actually beat my best Super Pi time, but thought I could get more out of her so I did not screenshot, trying to push further. That didn't go to well.

But I was able to run Super Pi at 4.7__ghz no problem, and only saw about 36C CPU temp, 46C on the cores. :good:

Sick clocker u are :morpheus:

Thanksbuddy, I must say it was all because my ambient room temp was about 55F, my gf loves me :laughing:

My i7 was idling at 4.4GHZ at 19C even at 1.435 volts or so she was sitting at 26C.

That's the reason I pushed.

What I was more impressed by is learning the different straps and how to work around them for different memory clocks.

Because of my ram, if I run a lower strap. the 2x800 I get less speed out of my ram, but can bench higher, but running at the 2x1067 strap. I was able to get the memory to run idle, no benching at 860mhz! that's 1720mhz on 1333mhz ram 1.65 volts and stock timings. Not too shabby, but I wanna bench that high and higher ;)

I've been pretty conservative on the vDimm and Vtt as well. I'll have to toss that mentality soon to break into the upper classess I suspect. Almost ready for the E762 first boot.

I have run 1.7V just for a short period of time, set to stock voltage in bios, and bump it up through Eleet. This ram will only handle so much, but I can see what a big factor the ram plays in all this.

Don't be afraid of it, I know you can do it! That should be a sweet arse Mobo you have there! :good:

Even at 5.4ghz, I only had 1.67 vDimm running. That'll change tho.

Wow, if your mamory is good enough you may not need it! :thumbsup:

damn man those temps are sick bro, and on AIR?

Yes sir, TRUE Black, lapped, 2x Scythe Ultra Kaze 133cfm fans, and 55 degree F ambient room temp. :good:

I could just smell the sweetness in the air!

ahhh man so lucky. My room ambient temp here with the a/c blasting is like 75ºc with all these damn crunchers :laughing:

LOL yeah it was a nice night, I should have another one coming up this week after my ram gets here! :good:

awesome. Maybe I should take my setup up to Chicago and stick my rad outside your window :)

Anytime, but just wait until the cooler of D'ICE is here. ;)

:) I've always wanted to go see a Blackhawks game :D

...and Hockey season is just about to start!

Yes it is sir, but the Wolves (semi-pro) is much better entertainment than the Blackhawks in my opinion, more fights and action.

Where are you located?

I wouldn't know much about the wolves, but the hawks should be fun.

I'm in Miami, dying to go to a Panthers game, even if they lose. It's fun regardless. I enjoy the sport a lot.

Yeah it is fun to watch!

Thought that was you buddy, thx ;) :D :D, my first blue ribbon under Kal-EL toooo!

I'll check out the new pics and the contest when I get home dude. :)

Very clean work. All that vinyl effect temps at all?

Your welcome, the rig deserves it, and that new hard ware deserves about 10!

Thanks!

Not at all, its kinda funny how fast air moves in and out of my case. I smoke so at one point I blew some in the front, and in the 1/2 a sec it took me to get to the side it was gone, finally I blew out a candle and placed it in front of the case to see how quickly it moved through, and the airflow is great! I am looking at getting one of those little smoke machines to properly show this affect, and then I will get some shots and video of it!

dude, just saw the pics, bro badass man! I really love the interior :)

Thank you my friend, don't forget to register and vote! :good:
