Hello everyone!
I'd like to show you my rig, I am proud to say I have added a 3rd EVGA GTX580 few weeks ago and I love it, I expected terrible driver support and really low GPU performance scale, but I am amazed at how good it all turned out!
The rig consists of:
✔
Intel Core i7 2600k @ 5GHz 1.42v i7 3930k @ 4.7GHz
✔
ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution B3 3-Way SLI ASUS Rampage IV Extreme
✔ [EVGA] GeForce GTX680 + [Gigabyte] GeForce GTX680 SLI @ 1240MHz Core / 3560MHz Memory
✔ Dell U2711 IPS 2560x1440
✔ 8GB G-Skill Ripjaws X 1600 CL7
✔ Vertex 2 120GB + Caviar Black 750GB + Samsung F4 2TB + Seagate B. 3TB
✔ Silverstone Raven RV02B-W
✔ Silverstone Strider Plus 1000W
✔ FiiO E7 + FiiO E9 + Beyerdynamic DT-770 PRO (250 Ohm)
✔ Auzentech X-Fi Bravura + Logitech X-540
✔ Zalman Mic ZM-M1
✔ Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
Had a lot of purchases in January and February, using my Christmas money, spend all of it on the 3rd EVGA GTX580, the Dell U2711, the FiiO E7 + E9, and the Beyerdynamic DT-770 PRO.
Here are some pictures, I do hope you like them:
And herei s a picture of my gaming room, where I spend 99% of the time when I'm home.
And this would not be complete without my awesome gaming companion, Casper:
I hope you like it, I know it's not watercooled so it's not perfect, but I am more than pleased with it's performance on air!
March 2012:
Here's an update guys:
Sold my 3 EVGA GTX580 and bought a pair of GTX680's for SLI.
Overclocked to 1250MHz Core +450MHz Memory and 132% Power Target.
Stock:
Overclocked:
I know one of them is not EVGA, but EVGA's are so hard to find in Europe right now I couldn't resist buying a 2nd card even if different brand.
I was told I was really lucky to get one of them already, as they went out of stock minutes after they were on sale!
Hope you guys like the pictures!
Another update from April 24th (2012);
A Just came back to my house in Germany (
After being ~3 weeks in my other house in Spain) and cleaned the room a bit:
And here's the latest purchase:
Thanks to a clan mate for recommending it, it feels quite nice playing without having the mouse's cable hitting against the speaker or the router and having me killed in Battlefield 3.
ANOTHER UPDATE!!
I went custom water cooling on the CPU!
Then changed to a much better looking tubing:
Running a 24/7 Overclock of 5GHz
And both cards at ~1250MHz Core Boost and +350MHz Memory!
And here's my gaming space where I spend most of the nights on the Battlefield!
Here is an update from Summer 2012. Moved back to Spain (From Germany) and I added both GTX680's to the water cooling loop!
On October 2012 I decided to upgrade my noisy pump for a Laing D5 with an EK X-TOP v2:
December 2012 UPDATE! I decided to update to LGA 2011 socket, so I bought an i7 3930k and an ASUS Rampage IV Extreme!
While it is not a great clocker, I still keep it at 4.6-4.7GHz and in Battlefield 3 it made a difference over my GTX680, plus I get to run PCIE 3.0 now.
Edit:
Here's an update, switched to an NZXT Switch 810 (White) plus an XSPC Dual Bay Acrylic Reservoir. Also changed my poor clocking 3930k for a much better 3930k!
Hope you guys like it!
