Antec 900 + Swiftech Apex Watercooling + 9800 GX2

[BlakeCastle]

hey man nice vid!

i plan on doing something similar but

where are your hard drives?

[aplittlefield]

Nvidia edition is pretty cool, i like the green side thingy on it that it comes with, might get it. i have a normal one right now but may switch

[DennisC94]

Can you send me some pics of how u mounted the radiator? I'm getting my kit soon and I might mount mine in front.

[MugenRac1ng]

Nice rig bro, only thing I would change is 4 x 1 gb ram instead of 2 x 2, works faster! ;)

5/5, gj

[dagarcia1]

Check out my other vids. Im now running 2 x 1GB ddr3. Might jumo to 4GB soon.

[hanzerdhotmailcom]

Actually having two high capacity sticks is better than four low capacity. You can overclock higher with two because its less load on the memory controller having to manage only 2 sticks vs. 4.

[urlame101]

what coolant are u using?????

very nice

[DROFDNAS]

Do you have a sound card? or do you use onboard?

[dagarcia1]

Currently onboard audio. Still debating if I should even get an audio card.

=/

[bimmermann18]

did you have to cut out an extra hole in the case for the water block? I have the same case, mobo, and 9800GX2 and I wanted to put in a thermaltake 760i big block water cooling for my Q6600 but, don't know if it will fit?

[dagarcia1]

waterblock? Waterblock = CPU block...

Unless you meant something else you dont need any speacial arrangements to mount the cpu waterblock.

My antec 900 came with two holes in the back for water tubbing but I used them to mount the reservoir. Older antec cases have a grill mesh there tahn can be used the same way. Check out the rest of my vids. Ill post a new video later on tonight,

[steveguy3]

What's the point of having watercooling in an antec nine hundred? The fans may be noisy, but they keep it ice cold.

[dagarcia1]

thats some possitive thinking haha

[Hellraz0r]

I have a 6800 Ultra atm, and I'm getting a new computer. I might aswell get the 9800gx2, because well, there's no point in buying an 8 series for my situation.. because well, the 9 series is out now so :/

[scotsocool]

9 series cards are exactly the same chips as 8 series, its only the number on the box, and a slight clocking difference (one u can easily do yourself) and ofcourse the price hike that splits them. E.g 8800GTS is exactly the same as the 9800GTX.

[dagarcia1]

Yup. GX2 = 2 x 8800GTS 512 in SLi.

Id actually recomend golding off on this 9800 series. The 9800GX2 will be dead by the end of third quarter when the 9900GX2s with real next gen chips are released.

I got these for benchmarking purposes. Theyre really not cost effective in the long run. I will more than likely be getting rid of them in 3-4 months.

[CRAKIZGOOD]

but the 8900gtx will live !

check my vid ull like \not the blackpearl pc

check out the last vid at the bottom

[NorwayGamer]

actually its 2 9800 gpu's

[4nt1pr0]

9800gtx and 8800gts(G92) are exactly the same but 9800gtx support 3-way SLI.

[dagarcia1]

Some people dont know. They just troll it.

=)

[l0lum4d]

when does the 9900gx2 come out

[dagarcia1]

Some sites are saying as early as June but more than likely well see the new cards halfways through july.

[chevguy502]

no one cares

[dagarcia1]

your mom cares.  ;)

[djphonehome]

hey man clean that shit up.

[mouimen]

ill never get the 9800 im happy with the nvidia 8800 gts 640mb is so enough for me.

[bengt123]

Yeah, it is. You shouldnt buy dualcore-gpus yet! :) They arent that much better than 8800gt/gtx/gts/etc.

[dagarcia1]

You need to do you research.

[bengt123]

Ive done my reasearch. Not that much of a difference...9800gx2 = fail, just like 7900gx2. What i mean is that you should wait a couple of months before getting one of those, more stable cards etc.

[CoL1n5]

Well GPUs with 2 cores are pretty rubbish on games that arn't SLi enable them games only use one of your two cores and at the moment the each cores power is that of a GPU from earlier series.Hope that helps.:)

[lukeatluka]

First things are never good! They are better but not for that money.Next gen. of x2 will be cheaper and for more than 30% better (at least).So i'll wait too.

[fatty459]

Isn't the reservoir going to be right in the way of the expansion slots?

[Willymaze]

DDR3 isn't really the big thing, it's just a way to threw your money.... i just don't think it's price/performance is ok

[themisiek2]

I agree. DDR3 need time and people you enjoy throwing their money at new technology that is shit lol...

[scotsocool]

It's not shit. Expensive, yeah, but its just a dumbass statement to say it's shit. Timings arent great but all the high scoring systems are on DDR3.

[themisiek2]

The fastest computer on earth uses Corsair Dominator DDR2 RAM, overclocked to 1200Mhz with only 2 sticks each being 1GB.

DDR3 is a waste right now. Just like DDR2 was when it first came out.

[EliteSoldier112]

I agree, and when you compare the FPS difference. Their like from 0.5-3 FPS. WOW AMAZING!!

[magermage58]

why didnt u get a 790i mobo? but anyways nice rig hope u dont go overkill with it :P

[dagarcia1]

The step up is 100 bucks. Might go for it in 2 weeks. cant really afford the DDR3 right now.

[channdizzle]

yeah you better upgrade to da 790i ,you won't be disappointed at all

[RickArter]

Nice check out my computer build videos and water cooling coming soon. I might get that kit but I want a 360 rad not a 240.
