Now I just need to figure out how I will pass this through the finance department. How do I explain the need for litres and litres of mineral oil?

Ive been meaning to post my rig here for a while and today was the first day i could sit down and take pictures of it

Here it is , Sorry about the quality, Blackberries are not known for the cameras (And the light in my room isn't any better)

Post by **KillerByte** » 25 Jan 2011, 10:27

Nice system. Too many lights for my current taste but still a nice system.

Hey Kaos Hunter and welcome to the post you rig thread! awesome job on the pc bro awesome specs u have there! are u gona take your i7 930 further? how is that zalman cooler doing for your oc?

KaosHunter · Post by **KaosHunter** » 26 Jan 2011, 10:11

Thanx Jelly

... ah for now i am pretty happy with a very moderate overclock to 3.4 Ghz ... no need to push it up now and the Zalman does its job well ... never goes higher than 55 Degrees on max load when i run Prime95 and idles around the low 30s

The_Jelly · Post by **The_Jelly** » 26 Jan 2011, 17:09

thats awesome bro... if u think of overclocking further open a thread in the oc section and let us follow ur progress.... is it me or is the oc section like really dead? don't people overclock anymore? or want advice on it.....? i see the same threads there everytime i go in....

KaosHunter · Post by **KaosHunter** » 26 Jan 2011, 18:31

haha ya well i might push it up to 3.8 soon or later and then from there see how far i can go

your chip can hit 4GHz on air. That I can guarantee.

Common sense is the reason my home PC runs at stock speeds with 4GB of generic RAM.

Common sense and the fact that overclocking, whilst offering impressive benchmark improvements, often does very little to improve real world performance. Solitaire really doesn't run that much smoother when I overclock my i7.
