hermes09 Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) FYI, the Intel Core i7 990x can't run with dual cpu configuration.... only Xeon Processors that can run (rather "allowed") dual cpu config.... Because one the QPI link in i7 "Gulftown" are disabled thus dual-socket for i7 is a no-no oh, if i'm not mistaking, only Xeon X5500 and X5600 Series that have Dual-Link QPI Edited May 21, 2011 by hermes09 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ookami Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 hey, I am quite new to all this pc building and stuff but I feel quite confident in myself (have always been a computer geek and I am a philomath) anyway on to topic, I am intending to build myself a new desktop computer and I want some advice. so far the parts build I have sett up is as follows: PSU:---------------Corsair AX 850W Motherboard:----Intel DP67BG CPU:---------------Intel I7 2600K GPU:---------------EVGA GeForce GTX 570 1280 MB (x2 ?) RAM:---------------Corsair Vengeance DDR3-2000 12 GB Storage:-----------Western Digital VelociRaptor 300 GB Western Digital AV-GP 2TB SATA, 32 MB cache Optical drive: ---LiteOn IHOS104-37 Cabinet:-----------NZXT Phantom total pricetag, about 2500 USD first thing I want to know is what you guys think about the build as written above? good? bad? waste? any components that absolutely should be changed? it will mostly be used for gaming but also for some 3D rendering next is that I am uncertain of the motherboard, I want a good motherboard with good functionality, space and connections, I feel the DP67BG has this (from one of OCC's reviews), but is there any better motherboards out there which have the same types/amount of connections or more and that is also easy to "manipulate" (OC and so on) Lastly its the cabinet I am slightly uncertain about,the mane reasons I choose it is because of the integrated fan control, size and the look, but does any one know how its airflow is, is it a good cabinet or is there any that are that much better? well then hope I didn't make a fool of myself and posted in the wrong place Thank you guys/gals for any help you may offer Shin Ookami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medbor Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Well you should have posted a new thread, and for that price you could get a lot more. Intel motherboards are usually not revommended either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
