d6bmg Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Intel i7 980x @ 4.7ghz18 GB Corsair Dominator RAM Corsair p128 SSD 2x MSI GTX580 X-treme edition (The neat ones with 5gb's of mem and the color changing fans that no one ever sees) Fatal1ty soundcard (can't remember which one) ASUS ROG Rampage 3 extreme mobo It was a real monster back when I built it in late 2010, won a few contests with it and such. Had a radeon 5970 in it back then. Pretty much all I do with it is game and deal with emails re: work. I do love me some games, though. Solid spaces. No need to upgrade anything, at least for next 1-2 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lhiannon Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 :-) When smart people tell me I'm doing something right, that feelsgoodman.jpg Back in the dizzle, we bought one of the xeon hex chips as well. That thing was a beast in OC'ing. I have had the 980x up to 4.9 under water. It does so well OC'ed, it blows my mind how stable and strong it has been. Obviously, it cost a mint, so feeling like you got your money's worth is a pretty big deal. Been kicking around with the idea of moving to 780's in the next 6 months or so....this stuff is so addictive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 One of my folding rigs has a 980x in it (oc'ed to 4.2ghz ish) generally run in the mid 60C's loaded at 100%. (it's wc of course)....ambient in that room is generally over 30C. Good little processor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lhiannon Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 No, actually, though I understand you thinking that as my post was pretty misleading. I am using a corsair H100 on it, so, it is still "under water". I used to have a custom H2O setup that covered it and the 2 MSI 480's I had before. Had a reservoir from FrozenQ as well, looked really cool. I don't think I have ever actually had it air cooled. Used an h50 before (when I first purchased it) EDIT: Pics of the old beast... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
