CM Scout Gamer
4 Attachment(s)
Following in DrNip's footsteps with a slight twist. I have been messing with the 1090T Thuban for awhile in my game rig and just have not been satisfied with it so I have decided to venture in another direction.
I will take the recently wounded/revived 980X and install it in the Scout case to become the 24/7/Gamer. Since it appears I will be the permanent owner of this chip with no hope of rma imaginable, she will be put out to pasture in this rig with hopes she will continue to function in a less stressfull setting. I fear putting to much voltage to it benchmarking would lead to it's final demise. The OCA contest currently running will be her last hurrah...she has served me well. ;) Parts to be used will be updated as I move along : CM Scout mid-tower Intel 980X Evga X58 SLI Micro mb WD 1TB hdd SuperTalent 32GB ssd Silverstone HDDBoost Corsair HX1000w psu LiteOn DVD burner Saaphire 5870 I may go with the stock 980X hsf on this one. For memory I am hopeful to win these GSkill's soon... http://www.benchtec.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=6951 |
build looking great, as far as winning memory is concerned I will say, dont count your chickens before they are hatched, simply because in this case it will hurt to lose. Ofcourse you should win because of the undying dedication in both the comps. but what can I do I am a pessimist(but I consider it as a positive trait, :P)

Interesting. I assumed that the only reason I was impressed with the Vertex2 was because of write speeds. (I have had 250MB/s read drives before). Might have to look into that a little for upgrading old POS systems.
Build looks pretty incredible for SFF. The 980X pretty cool running at stock? |
