Hello,
 
I'd like to share my current build with you guys, mainly used for games like Battlefield 3, Red Orchestra, and Arma II:
 





 
 
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! 
 

 
 
Hope you like it!

    The tubing is actually blue, I don't know why the camera makes it look as purple, looks better in person.

    Wow, 1.44V on 24/7 how long do you expect that to last?
     
    Setup looks sweet though!

    Those voltages are quite safe on SB as long as you keep load temperatures well under 80ºC at full load (I can easily keep them under 75ºC with room temperatures of ~28ºC-30ºC and just 2 push fans at ~900rpm dead quiet ).
     
    Intel states as long as temperatures are good, up to 1.52v it is safe, I know it sounds crazy, but that's what Intel says.
     
    I've also seen people running these chips at 1.5v 24/7 since they were released 17 months ago and no signs of degradation.
     
    Personally I've been running it at anywhere from 1.34v to 1.4v (4.5GHz, 4.6GHz. 4.8GHz, 4.9GHz...) and now I'm going to let it running at 5GHz HT ON 1.44v 24/7.
     
    Should be safe as long as you keep temperatures under reasonable numbers.

    Ha! Just saw you posted this in the Steam chat. I didn't get a chance to click this morning. Rushing out to the daughter to her field trip on time.
     
    I'm glad I didn't. She would have been late for sure. Eye candy all the way. Very elegant looking build and work space.
     
    Benches?

    Thanks!
     
    Maybe in the future I will run the cards under water, although the blocks are too expensive and I don't think it's worth the investment considering they run cool enough already, and I might not have them anymore in a year.
