You mean the upgradeable one?Quote:

Hes talking about something else I think ahah, you can upgrade them with just hardware mods to my knowledge, which you can do on anything.
Liquid Cooled triple 120 fan rad Extreme Quad core
I run alot of air through it too as you can see
8 GB ram
Vista x64 (you thought x86 was bad)
Lian Li case
etc

You should seriously consider rewiring your PSU cabling and redoing your watercooling loop. Your pump will be able to push water a lot better even if you just set the intake barb to face upwards (it will be easier for it to prime itself).
That looks like some kind of mad scientist computer O.o
no kidding lol... that shit is sloppy.
:lmao:
:lmao:
the thing screams... fastest computer i've ever worked on or built..
It's very overclockable that's why the spot cooler is there for the Ram bank
The PSU cables are all tucked in underneath.. this Lian Li case has the PSU down at the bottom and the cables are tucked where no air is needed
it took days of thought to fit the water loop in...that triple 120 rad is huge...i had to modify the case and rad installation hardware to get it to work well
so I'm not changing that
the head pressure on my pump is really good so I dont have any flow issues with it
The loop is only for the CPU and the rest is all air cooled
the other cables are all managed and away from the mobo so that is also good
There is also a fan controller and thermal sensor system which only added to my cables but it was needed for oc'ing
The 2nd front bay has a hot swap SATA HDD in it for backups and complete system images (750 GB)
I have a 2nd vid card for ATI crossfire but I haven't put it in b/c the case will just be too full and air flow will prob develop poor flow areas
i replaced the stock passive north bridge cooler with an active cooling one
With 8 gigs Ram i was able to turn off the swap file alltogether. I get no lag at all with any of my running programs since they are all in active memory...i click and it opens no matter how long an app sits idling.
All in all, i've oc'd it more than anyone else i've seen with Liquid and the QX6700 proc. I almost got times similiar to the best oc's of the x6800 which is so much easier to oc with only 2 cores producing heat... TEC cooling of course blows my oc out of the water (pun) so I'm only comparing water loop systems.
I super pi'd it to 1 million in about 9-11 secs (i think...its been awhile)
and i stress tested the hell out of it... my highest oc's would eventually fail so i backed off a bit for stability
so its a 2.66 ghz by default and i had it oc'd between 3.7 and 4.0...over 1 ghz oc'd and i could get more with only 4 gigs ram (2 gig cards don't oc as well as 1 gig cards)
i actually don't need to oc it permanently right now b/c even at defaults the thing rips
when my hardware gets really out of date (in about a year or 2) I will oc it again to keep up or just build a new one with TEC cooling.
Kinda senseless...I don't want to see how much $$$ you have to spent to maintain that thing (electricity costs you know).
One thing I don't get...for what purpose? You don't put the second ATI in there so no crossfire...so no gaming rig? I don't see what you want to do with that thing :P
