8/10 because you have two systems, and one of them is at 5GHz Also the GTX460 is a stormin' lil graphics card which packs a real punch. Oh and you have a mechanical keyboard... and a Wacom. You know what... 9/10. LOL.
9/10. -1 for the 570 as whilst it's a great card, there are faster available and it's not in an sli config.
8.8/10 As above for the faults plus Nehalem is knocking on a bit now though it is still good. Excellent case (watercooled?). But why a dedicated PhysX card and only 6GB RAM?
Id gives that 9/10 in a stable state. And assuming all the things marked broken are now fixed! Over all liking the rig, maximum potential out of fairly modest gear. Case is a bit meh, but extra points for the modding, link to a work log would be appreciated (if available.) : )
Indeed, fell in love with it when I came across it at lan, it's all ready for wc, I've extended the top vent and put a new grill on and I used the bit of metal left over from the side panel cut to make a radiator bracket. Unfortunately due to circumstances such as an explosive 8800gtx, more important upgrades or just being skint I havnt had a chance to yet =< . The reason behind the 9600 is I needed a card in a hurry after my 8800 went bang and it was all maplin had that wasn't awful or ridiculously overpriced. Once I got the 570 I thought i might as well do something with it so stuck it in as a physics card. I have been meaning to up the RAM for ages, bought 6GB when I first built it and at that point it was on t he 9600 so I thought I'd get the 570 first as i only really game. Eventually I will if Mr payslip gives the ok. =]
Smiffy's Rig - Good choice of board and graphics card, no mention of an overclock but sadly only using a H50 and I have never been a fan of HAF cases, just too messy for me. 7/10.
good solid rig...nice bang for buck...nice monitor...12 gb ram instead of the more common 6 gb...nice mouse and kb...quality components on psu and all that...dont know if it's oc'ed, so i'll give it a 7.5/10 based on good bang for buck, high quality, and ips monitor...with a good oc on cpu another .25-.5, and good oc on gpu another .25 now someone who isn't an amd fanboy do me o.0
7.5/10 I like Asus motherboards, From the RAM and CPU, I think it might be intended for rendering? In which case, a pretty good OC, slightly slow GPU, Great screens, overall looks like it's good for its job
didn't figure you noticed the sli setup...or the oc... and what's wrong with the cpu cooler? better and quieter than a frio...
5! can't deny I'm a little shocked and dissapointed. considering I've got fairly decent overclocks considering the cooling (my temps are never over 70 without being too noisey) that fact my gfx is a pre-production model which doesn't like to be over volted one bit AND the vid on my quad is fiarly high for g0 stepping at 1.325. Sad panda indeed
