Rods New Build
« on: December 03, 2010, 02:14:40 PM »
I have not been posting pics of systems, no excuse other then well, no excuse.  Here is another AH II players system.

Specs;
Case:          Tempest EVO
MB:             Gigabyte
CPU:            i5 760
HSF:            Zalman
Mem:           Corsair XMS @ 1333
GPU:            XFX 5830
PSU:            XFX 650watt
HD:              Western Digital 640gb  6gbs 64cache
OS:              Windows 7 Pro 64bit

The system has stock settings with Overclocks to 4GHz with a max voltage of 1.36 to the core.  Tested with OCCT for min of 8 hours each.  The mem on the OC's goes from stock or 1333 to 1800 with no over voltage.  Tested with Memtest86+.




I know he will enjoy it.  Look next week for another system.  One that will rival 7 to 10k builds from other builders.  The new system will boot to desktop in under 16 seconds.

Oh BABY!  Can't wait until I get to pick this thing up and take her home!

It looks like TD has built a fantastic system!

I'll be sure to give a report after I get a chance to get shot out of the air a few times.  At least the flames will be more brilliant and the bullets will be at max resolution.

Thanks for posting the pics and info, TD.

TD i got what i assume to you will be a stupid question, but to me its a common sense conflict with the way the manufacturers are building the towers these days.

OK first lets start with what i believe the common sense side of this would show, heat is the worst enemy of any performance machine including computers, and as everyone knows heat rises.

now to the confusion, the manufacturers of these high performance towers seem to be trending towards placing PSU's at the bottom of the tower. my PSU, although not super hot, generates some heat and gets progressively warmer over time when higher amounts of current is being used to run the system, IE to play games.

the question, if it is not already apparent is simple, why fight physics and place the PSU on the bottom of the case when it could be placed at the top and aid in reducing internal tower heat?

great build by the way!!!!

Air flow.  If the PSU is at the top you can not add 2 larger fans be it 140mm to 240mm.  Also cable management assists with airflow and bottom mounts allow for better air movement and the PSU fan vents the out the bottom of the case.

Thing is this system is not even the Mage 2.  It runs 59/60FPs with everything turned up.  Only thing not on was "Shadow On Others"

great job TD, you know I look at your computer and then at mine, I am beginning to suspect that you use some kind of wireless system to hook up all the components together in your builds  :D.

You will NOT regret it.   TD is on my "if I'm ever near the neighborhood, I'm stopping by list".    He's good people and his assistance/customer service speaks for itself.
