I think this could be the first X79 / Sandy Bridge-E mod but hey, who cares anyway Something you don't see everyday is an X79 alongside an SR-2 mod System Spec: Coolermaster ATCs 840 chassis Coolermaster 1050w Silent Pro Hybrid PSU Intel DX79SI motherboard Intel LGA2011 Sandy Bridge-E 3960X CPU @ 4.8GHz Zotac GTX 590 GPU Kingston 120GB HyperX SSD's (RAID 0) Kingston 32GB HyperX DDR3 1600 RAM (8 x 4GB) DDC Pumps Hardware Labs SR1 360 and 240 Rads Bitspower Matt Black Fittings Phobya various modding parts EK Waterblocks Radcarton Graphics
Thats awesome, I'd be happy to take one off your hand if you like LOL. Thats a real good job mate, looks the business!
That's mental trust in coolmeister to get his hands on that! Just wondering how log it takes to boot with thatuch ram nd ssd's?
Very, very clean mod there, certainly looks the part. Not sure I like the amount of lighting but the workmanship is awesome.
Cheers guys A minor update from Insomnia 44 Purely coincidental but while wondering around i44 somebody noticed the Tuck Shop selling Kingston caps so we asked to borrow all they had for a photo opportunity with the X79 mod..........it took some explaining to the bemused looking girl but we got there in the end
Very nice system, 4.8GHz seems to be the limit on these. Did you go straight multi or did you push the FSB? Are they HyperX BLU RAM modules, what speed?
Really nice clean lines. I have the same "layout" with the water feed out of the port on the GPU nearest the CPU running horizontally across my case, which is the only thing I've change on my build - yours looks more intentional, and therefore cleaner, which is great to see. I assume you have 2 loops going on in there. What's the temps like, and what settings are you having to use to get it running at 4.8ghz? You going to get it folding? Top mod mate.
Awesome mod Damn intel, not bundling a cooler with the new CPUs, it makes you want to strap a watercooler to it....guess i know what i'm getting myself for christmas
