    quad core qx6700 2.6 clocked to 3.625 running stable
    dual 8800 ultra superclocked
    dual 150 gig raptors raided and watercooled
    500 gig sata for storage
    killer nic card for gaming
    2 240 thermochill radiators one for the CPU the other for Vid and hardrives
    1 120 thermochill rad to help with vid and harddrives
    2 thermaltake pumps one for cpu one for vid and harddrives
    zalman fan controler
    Swiftech GTX CPU waterblock
    Swiftech Stealth waterblocks for vid cards
    and extras more to come

    3d Mark score 18501
    Your system compared to all 1880968 system configurations. There are 995 systems with a higher score and 1879973 systems with a lower score than your system

    amazing, except kinda troublesome that you wen't with thermaltake pumps... those leak and fail all the time and i advice you get some laing d5's or something like that.

    What gpu speeds are you running?

    Wow nice specs but I think the Killer NIC is a scam

    Is that a Thermaltake Mozart??? What PSU are you using to power it???

    At the moment I don't feel the KillerNIC can be used to its full potential. Once games start using a lot of bandwidth, then that's when it'll start to come in handy to have a dedicated NPU.

    you forgot to mount a fan in the bottom left corner:D
    hehehehehe
    :jawdrop:at the cleanliness of it all. with all those wires and tubes you sure managed to make it quite clean. although I do wonder what this guy is gonna use it for...

    Not dissing on you mate, looks really good. But what's the use off all those fans if you're having watercooling? In my humble opinion you could have gone with 2 fans on each rad, and possibly 2 fans in front and 1 in the back. Might have saved you half the noise I guess...

    Not everyone uses Watercooling for silence. In fact most use it for performance with overclocking.

    I'm the client with this rig. Rob did a great job helping me with this build. As to some of the questions out there. its a mozart tx case( I had the armour lcs case before but not enough air flow and only a single loop system) power supply is a 1000w silverstone the Killer nic does make for smother game play as far a lag is concerned the ping control is nice if playing on servers that require me to increase mine for fair game play. so far very happy with how its turned out.

    Must be a hell of a f***ker to lift around the different LANs :)
    Awesome hardware, sounds prette expensive, huh? Nevertheless, nice setup!

    I'm sticking with the statement that there's too many fans and I recommend laing pumps too (got one myself, works like a charm, great flow minimal noise) - but if it's solely for overclocking, I'd go for phase change, ought to be room enough for one?

    More pics if possible?

    That's nuts! :D Reaper memory and not Flex! :eeek: Watercool them too!

    Looks pretty crazy and must be a bitch to move.

    the crazy client again. Just waiting on the new 45nm chips before going to 4g of water cooled ram. Currently my heat load is greater than phase/change will handle from what i've been told. I'm running at close to 300w heat output on the cpu and the best of the phase change units we've found are around the 200w mark.:thumb:

    hmm, 300Wats from cpu?? hmmm, lets say its 3.6Ghz, so for 300W heatload you should run it at ~1.75V I hope not...
    its actualy 180-220W IMHO
    Anyway, nice rig you have

    running cpu voltage at 1.65v to race for benchmark but idle temp rises to aprox 53c. can pull down to 1.575 v and idle at 42c but wont run mark 06 but runs everything else. heat load is in excess of 250w at 1.65v so the phasechange would be overworking. Any sugestions welcome:wallbash:
