  • hi i live in england to where do you buy your parts

  • @PurpleHaze3001 Scan computers, great service

  • how often you change the water reservoir?

  • wtf u could of had a quad core for the same price but u didn't buy it

  • quad core is not always a good option due to the power consumption and as he said most games are optimized with dual core and fewer are optimized with quad core.

  • Yea but an intel I7 is going to rape a dual core in any game regardless if its optimized for dual or quad core because the intel I7 supports 2 threads per core so windows can be on one of the cores and you have three more for games or anything else.

  • i have an i7 no shit

  • I was replying to a guy who said quad core is not always a good option

  • oh ok but what about the water cooled system if it leaks it will fuck up everything

  • you dont need that much cooling for what u have

  • nyc system dont worri about the overclocking you cant fri your computer thses days. but what can happen is over time the cpu can degrade from the overclock but you wont see anything like that unless your going extream my q6600 is running @3.6 i have never seen a problem causd by overclocking. nyc computer i like the case :)

  • is it easy to learn installing water cooling ?

  • If your interested in water cooling but ur a noob at it (like me) type in "Domino" on newegg its an all in one im considering buying.

  • in the future they will be utilizing the quad cores so... your loss lol

  • is ther a web site wear i can get a chil set cooler and how much

  • what song is that playing in the beginning

  • how many fps's have you got in Crysis on Ultra High in dx10 ?

  • lol i did 14885 at 3DMark 06 with a 8800 GT and a Q6600 @ 3.6 GHZ... -_-'

  • i got a celeron dual core it works fine for games (easy overclock).although an upgrade will be needed eventualy.so no worrys

  • awesome system dude looks really cool i have an nvidia xfx xxx alphadog edition 9600gt and my 3Dmark 06 score =11238 :) but very nice system man

  • OK quick plz. X48 motherboard with DDR2 GIGABYTE GA-X48DQ6, or X38 motherboard with DDR3 ASUS P5E3 Deluxe??? I dont give a shit about the price. These r the 2 i can choose out of :D, which 1 since i will be keeping it for 1 year or so. Thanks, i will be using a Q6600, game at 1440x900 and have an ATI 4870.

  • Allaround awesome build guy!!Good job

  • you say asus wrong=P

  • I have Finlay put this thing together.

    I would post my own video, but don't have a cam as yet.

    Details are as follows:

    Thermaltake Kandalf case, Asus P5E3 motherboard, Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 (currently @3.00GHz std), Corsair 2GB DDR3 533MHz PC 7-7-7-21, MSI NX8800GT-T2D512E-OC, SilverStone OP1200W psu, Western Digital 500GB HDD, Western Digital 230GB HDD.

  • asus are good man cant go rong

  • Get a quad core for the future not for today.

    And if it's the same price why the hell not?

    A quad will probably preform same if not better than a dual core on most games of today (except for the "wolfie" or e8400 that thing is a beast)

    And in the future with games that can use 4 cores it will smoke dual cores.

    In fact don't crysis and unreal tournament 3 use 4 cores at max?

  • nice man

  • Very nice rig there & informative video, I'll place my pump away from my cards too!.

    I have purchased a Kandalf LCS VD4000BWS case.

    I was originally thinking of running the

    Q6600 Intel but changed my mind because of what you stated in the vid.

    I was then looking at the E8500 Duo, just wanting to know are you happy with the

    Q6600?.

    I can buy the Q6600 or a Q9300 way cheaper than the E8500!.

  • DONT BUY DUAL CORE buy the q6600 or the q9300 me i have the q6600 very good cpu for overclock i love it buy quad core !!!!!!

  • That I think is good advice I'm now very seriously considering buying the Intel Core 2Quad Q9450.

    Thanks for your comments.

  • wow nice speakers. z-5500's are expensive as hell. i have g51 speakers. your build is much better than mine

  • jewel core processor, thats what it sounded like, haha. I love the enlgish accent.

  • sooooooooo loud

  • Can anybody tell me why there are lights in the CPU and how i can get those lights.

  • What gpu drivers were you using by the way?

  • hey nice spec :)

    thinking of investing in water cooling - how much it set u back?

    cheers

    numpf

  • hi well by the time that i put the Q6600 in and the 2nd 8800gtx i think it probably came to around £2,000 so not too bad as that includes everything from the PC to the monitor and the Z-5500 5.1 speakers so yeah well happy :)

  • thanks for the reply :) i will be investing in the q6600 soon myself, along with the MSI P6N Diamond nVidia 680I Socket 775 DDR2 16x SLI SATA II Raid and some Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4DHX 800mhz (4gb of) what u think? do you know how easy q6600 is to oc?

    thanks

    numpf

  • hey man, you got a really nice pc there. and i know most people hate it when people ask what song is it in the videos. but i lik that song and jus wondering whats the name of it.

  • I think the song is PPK resurection.

    Anyways Mark you should easily be able to pump more out of that processor, justlast week I was running that Proc with an Asus striker extreme motherboard. I knew very little about overclocking 6 months ago but I have been able to run the E6850 on air at 3.88Ghz 100% stable and 3.94Ghz but never could never test full stability before I sold it. I used stock core voltages never changed them, only thing I changed was the QDR which was either 1725 or 1750Mhz

  • lol thanks for giving me the name of i meant the song in the beginning of the video sorry

  • Hey man nice pc, really really nice.

    Btw what is the song?

  • hay mate i have my pc up and running

    kandalf lcs

    2 x 8800 ultra blackpearl

    680i blackpearl

    1000 watt ultra x3

    qx6850

    2 x 1150 mhz ocz fleX plz reply

  • Video or it didn't happen.

  • Hey mate you there?

  • wat settings do you run with crysis???

  • how much was the cost of the beast??!

  • well i upgrade to dual 8800gtx's and a q6600 so in total with the monitor pc and z-5500 speakers it prob came to around £2,000 so not bad i dont think, just sold 1 8800 as hopefully newer cards are coming so will run with 1 at the mo :)

  • hey mate. remember me? ;) me q6600 is running at 3.0ghz atm, i gotta increase the V-core but to how much? from what i've heard every q6600 is different but how did you increase it to at 3.4?

  • what v.i.d is your chip, if you use coretemp it'll tell you the vid and basically the higher the vid then generally you'll need a higher vcore, i've got mine @ 3.7ghz with 1.47 v core

  • okay downloaded coretemp and v.i.d says 1.3000v and ive tried to go 3.6ghz with 1.425vcore but it doesnt boot, i tried to increase to 1.45 but neither any luck.

  • ok my vid is 1.27 so it'll take less vcore to get stable, have you done the vdroop mod ? you might need to set 1.52v in the bios to counteract vdroop, try that but watch the temp of the cpu.... oh yeah use a fsb of 1600 too :)

  • The temps? baby i got liquid cooling as you so heat will not be a problem. Okay ill try to set the vcore at 1.52v if it works ill mail you for an adress and ill send 200 men to escort you home from work or school or whatever you do just to show how grateful i am. Oh and what do you mean by "vdrop mod"? Do you have msn? its muuuuch easier that way? :p

  • I have to have this computer!

  • Nice rig & there's a certain satisfaction in building it yourself.

  • let me tell u this be carful when transporting, a pipe came of the cpu area and when i plug it in, err BANG and i opened the case with a lot of black smoke pouring out of it. Luckily i was buyimg a new computer at the time!

  • lush system, im gna buy a similar setup minus the speakers, already running two mission m35 floor standers from a nad c350 amplifier...will look the nuts when i get it, hopefully like urs

  • Do you guys know any websites that i pick the parts and they built it for me??

  • ey mate, you got that cpu test comming? ;) cheers.

  • yeah dude that z5500 is hell nice love em i got em to i got the x fi on them and it sounds even more meaner

  • Hi, you sound so excited. bet u got loads of friends excited like you when u all become excited....cant build that on the welfare.

  • Good vid. (lousy back-ground music!)

    Can this pc connect to the internet?...

    Or just fry bacon+eggs....lol

  • thank's very much for the comment - every1 to their own in music choice but hey i like it :)

    and yes funny enough it does connect to the net lol :)

    take care

  • where did you mount your pump?

  • lol sorry hadnt watched the whole vid... My thoughts were that there isnt enough space for sli if you mount it where they reccommend.

    .. ordered this case up this morning

  • Inside the drive bays, makes it look tidier plus it gives more room :)

  • yo m8y very nice watched all your vids .. which 8800gtx's is it you actually have?

  • ASUS EN8800GTX, kinda wished i got the EVGA o/c versions but they were hard to get hold of at the time so i settled with these... maybe chucking 2 ultras in soon so keep peeled :)

  • lol sweet m8y what online games ya play anyways?

  • erm not too many to be truthfull, you'll think i'm mad but i dont even play that many games on my PC now, i mainly use my 360 but i do smash half life ebery now and then, Team fortress is pretty cool though... Any recomendations ?

  • omg lol ... well trust me on this get call of duty 2 and play it online promise youll love it .. somethin about cod2 is jus great its gameplay is excellent ... and well i play counterstrike 1.6 but you probs wont like it because its old but i would say play counter strike source .. brill games worth buying 100%

  • well i'm going into town today as day off so might pick a copy up ! I'll email you and let you know :)

  • good stuff :)

  • and btw making a new rig think this anygood?

    Q6600 pro will overclok to about 3.1

    1tb harddrive

    striker extr mobo

    fatal1ty soundcard

    razor copperhead mouse (maybe)

    g15 keyboard

    and not sure about the cooling ..maybe watercooled .. wanna research it a bit more :)

  • and 1000w galaxy psu

  • Nice rig. :)

  • your lucky having that is my dream

  • you going to get a wolfdale or a yorkfield next?

  • i have 4 gb ram

    DDR 2

  • He's got 1000gigs of space, thats 1TB.

  • no shit, that's why i said it twice

  • ah okay, i thought it was to reach out to people matching your intelligence.

  • haha lol :)

  • i guess that's why you replied

  • i need that much space coz i have sh*t loads of stuff to put on my pc, that way i'll not have to put another hdd in for a long time

  • Hey mate. I found someone else to help me, someone who lives in my area so.. wont be needing you help, anyways just wanted to let you know. Thanks for the help and the case really looks great, just got mine in, its some heavy shit though, guess its the radiator. Oh and i have a video request, can you upload a video with your CPU doing 3dMark06 Cpu test, cheers.

  • thats cool no worries, i'll do the vid asap as working night shifts for the next week, i'll let you know when its up... good luck with your build :)

  • okay cool, and thank a lot. hope it will go smoothly. all ive done so far is mounted the watercooling in the case, looks cool when the light lightens up the wires :) Oh and please replay my comment when the video is up. cheers

  • it is a good pc cupple of thing i change but not mager so ye realy nice pc

  • Nice system. Mine's similar but I only have one 500 gig hd, a 2.8 ghz amd processor overclocked to about 3.2, and I opted for air over liquid... so its loud but whatever. Nice system!

  • thanx m8, upgraded it now (check other vids) but yeah i'm happy, should last a couple of years i hope :)

  • ey mate you there?

  • I love your accent :D

  • Thank You :)

  • :p i posted another comment though which you didnt reply :( here it is: Is the watercooling easy enough to mount? Ive just bought the same case with a Q6600 and im waiting for it to come, on monday. I just wanna know if you had any problem or if theres something i should be aware of?

  • the watercooling fitment is very straight forward, this was my first attempt and all went well i suppose, only gripe is that the holes on the bottom of the case to mount the pump do not line up but apart from that it's cool, Got a Q6600go @ 3.7ghz and idle temps are 32-35 & load temps are 50-55 so its much better than air cooling anyways, hope your install goes smooth :)

  • Wouw, fast reply. Im getting a Q6600go to and would you say its safe to clock it to 3.4ghz, i dont think i dare to overclock further. And do you think you can explain how do set up Raid 0? Im buying 2x WD Caviar 500GB but i dont know how to set up raid. And what do you mean by "only gripe is that the holes on the bottom of the case to mount the pump do not line up", the pump should fit the holes right?

  • (Gripe) = basically the holes drilled in the case are not perfect so you have to juggle to the pump in, i've fitted my pump in the drive bays as if you mount it where the manual states you'd be hard pressed to get a big gfx card in, i have the same hdd's as you lol i'll help you to setup radd no problem, which mobo you using ?

  • ah okay, well im buying a 8800gts512 so ill hope it can fit where the manual says (would be a lot easier). and im using a Asus striker extreme, nforce 680i. And yes i would really much like your help to set up raid, my hardrives should be arriving january the 18th.

  • no worries just let me know when your ready and i'll talk you through it on msn or something :)

  • okay super.. i tried to write my email but seems like the comment didnt post :S but just keep watching this upload, ill write when i need your help. Thanks

  • Damn man the TT Kandalf is a nice case!

    Nice build man, Temple Of Dreams haven't heard that in a long time.

    z5500's i have them too :P

    Nice 1 bro.

  • Where didi you purchase your parts from

  • Yo, what was your 3dmark06 scores like SM3.0 and SM2.0 and CPU? It seems a tad low, I have an E6600 : 3.4Ghz, 4GB @ 850Mhz 4-4-4-12, 8800GT @ 700/1800/1000 and getting just short of 13300. Btw I would overclock the cpu more, you can get that speed on air cooling and you have water!!, you should be able to get 4Ghz (SAFELY) :).

  • gone quad now, 2 8800gtx and scoring 18,000 on vista x64, cards at stock clocks coz you cant overclock im vista 64 without bios flashing them

  • Whats stopping u from overclocking in Vista 64? I've got an 8800GT and in Vista 64 and with Riviatuner I can overclock, or is it an SLi thing?

  • all the sliders are greyed out and wont adjust, i've never tried to overclock one card coz i want sli, never mind

  • Is the watercooling easy enough to mount? Ive just bought the same case with a Q6600 and im waiting for it to come, on monday. I just wanna know if you had any problem or if theres something i should be aware of. Awesome video by the way, and again, i love your accent!

  • ihave 2 core. amd 64 . ..... this is fake is a simple machine fuck you all

  • says the guy who cant speak english lol, if your post is negative then dont bother posting... what a noob

  • ok cool, it's my digital camera that is making them sound loud. When you sit next to the tower you can hardly hear them. Don't know why the camera makes them sound load though... thank's :)

  • Nice computer I got an AMD version of your computer pretty much. You mentioned that you want a second 8800GTX you might want to check how long the ASUS one will be available cause I got the Inno3d 8800GTX OC version and I went to buy a 2nd card 2 months later and Inno3d stopped making them and I cannot get one anywhere. I have found an MSI overclocked one which is pretty much the same speed, but not being the same brand is a bit of a pain.

  • thank's for the comment, i've overhauled my PC now, got a Q6600 @ 3.7ghz, 4gb of ram, 2 8800gtx's so i'm humming along nicely lol, check out my other vid's :)

  • All 22"screens are TN panels, there is no lottery as they are all the same.

    Choosing a 24" monitor is a lottery, as lots of different types of panels are used.

  • Hi mark, I just built similar system with kandalf LCS, Damn it was fun to build. I just overclocked Q6600 from 2.4ghz - 3.2ghz to 3.4ghz, it's running stable so far. I can't remember what vcore voltage I set, it's 1.4-something. What's the best vcore voltage I should set at 3.4ghz? Cheers from australia

  • Hey...... :), well i got my q6600 @ 3.7ghz now with a vcore of 1.48, stable as a rock and its very quick, i'll help you if you like :)

  • ma va fa e bukkin

  • whats the mobo ?

  • EVGA 680I SLI A1 Revision Mobo

  • ya, I watched the whole video, lol.. =P is it a good oc'er?

  • very good... Got my Q6600 @ 3.7ghz with no problems at all, Going for more at the weekend if temps allow :)

  • haha, what liquid cooling system?

  • it came with the case, its a thermaltake kandalf kit :)

  • it is? seems good :P, and thanks !! =D

  • it's ok for the money you pay, i mean there are much better kits out there but i havent got any complaints yet, no leaks lol. Plus my Q6600 @ 3.7ghz is idle at 34 & load at 55 :)

  • ah nice =p

  • when ever I get my computer, do you think you can just breifly describe how to oc =D

  • no problem :)

  • Price of all components???

  • about £2000 i think, could be less, Never did really calculate it just chose what i want lol... :)

  • not bad but overclok cpu to 4 ghz

  • Hello! what temprature does ur cpu reach at full load on both cores?

  • cool

  • How many coolers u have?

  • uh i have a question

    how much did this cost 2 do this whole, um, thing lol

  • wow this is cool, build me one! xx

  • nice rig.. im gonna get the same case as you so, hope i know how to handle the watercooling. And im gonna do Q6600 and overclock to 3.2/3.3/3.4 or something like that. And im gonna do raid with the same hdd as you, i was thinking of WD raptor to but they are expensive and they make noice. But anyway, nice rig.,

  • my first time watercooling bro - its very simple, all the hoses are labelled and the pump comes pre assembled, just screw the pump down, connect the cpu block, attatch green tubing and your good to go...

    good luck

  • Do you think I could play well with the 8500gt videocard? :D

  • I dont really know much about that gfx card to be honest but i suppose it depends on the games you are trying to play and at what gfx settings you are gonna use. Sorry i couldnt be of more help :)

  • wat website did u build it at like cyberpower or?

  • Hi Mark Ross i have a question is vista ultimate good for gaming and could u tell me where u bought your components

    p.s I live in London

  • how often do you replace the water in your reseviour? what psu u get? im thinking of getting a similar set up like u but q6600

  • i haven't topped up or replaced the water yet as it looks fine, I'm using an antec quattro 850 watt psu. If you check out my other vids you'll see my rig has changed dramatically, Now im using a q6600 o/c to 3.6ghz, 4gig of ocz pc-6400 ram(3-4-4-10-2T), 2 8800GTX SLI, i've added a soundcard. Check em out and feel free to comment.... Cheers

  • im planning on overclocking a q6600 GO to around 3-3,2ghz on air, i was wondering if you tihnk a 500-600watt PSU will be good enough cos i dont want to spend too much on one.

  • id say get a good quality 600watt one. Corsair make a very decent 620 watt psu, it all depends on the stuff your running like what gfx card etc... You should get the q6600 to 3.2 + on air, just make sure you get a good hsf

  • dude.. i so need to talk to you bro ..i just got that case ..getting a q6600 g0 revision , 4 gb of dominator pc 8500 , 1 150 gb raptor, 1000watt ultra x3 PS, and 2 8800 Gt xfx alpha dog SLI ...

    i just have couple question for people that already ahve the case since this is my first time i go Liquid cooling

  • No problem... Just email me with your msn or something and i'll chat to you about it. You'll have a sweet rig going on with that stuff of yours too :)

  • did u have to buy any extra fans or anything or does the thermaltake case come with all the fans +liquid cooling that you need?

  • Hi, It came with all the fans pre-installed into the tower, The watercooling kit is not though so does require fitting yourself. Radiator is mounted for you and the whole thing is very easy to set up. Took like 2 hours to get everything in the pc and get windows Vista installed.

  • I like it because is water cooled

  • im getting that cpu this afternoon how is it?

  • nice i got like same spec aceppt i got the galaxy 2 cooling system

  • awesome vid. Looks great!!!

  • I used a Sony Cybershot with a 6 Megapixel lens

    Model No: DSC-W30

    Thank's

  • Thank's Eric, Believe it or not this is my first build and my first ever Youtube video... Thank's for all the comments, Please check out my other vids on the upgrades that have taken place :)

  • what video camera did you use?

  • Very Smooth Video, Great Build !!! I happy to see that you decided to go with the E6850 ;-) you talking was smooth and calm and very clear.

    This video should be used as a tutorial for " How to expose your pc "

    WELL DONE MATE !!

  • what camera did you use to do this with?

  • wow great computer man,i want the nvidia 8800 too,the only thing that i dont like it is the windows vista...

  • haha indeed. of coarse dx10 :(

  • excellent rig,ten out of ten,agree with you on the dual core over quad core,wait for the intel 45nanometer chips later this year,overclock these easily to 4.5ghz well done!

  • Buy some Feser1 for your watercooling, as much as you think thermaltake are good, the quality of their products arent that great, if you use Feser1 it wont harm your components if it leaks.

  • Do you like that case is it easy to install?Do you have any problems with the water cooling i might get that case to

  • I have the same , the case is just weight to heavy, specifically if your bench is glass like mine or if you suffer from bad backs like me, installation was pretty easy but i had help as instructions are not that clear. and he is correct with the pump etc not fitting correctly, especially if you have a graphics card anywhere, but at the moment i have connected just the side untill later on

  • I've watched this video full through before, but I didn't leave a comment. I just would like to know what your idle and load temps are with that E6850 being overclocked. I am thinking of gettin a Kandalf LCS and a E4500 or E4600 that I am going to majorly overclock, but I want another radiator to attach to the back of the case if the radiator in the front doesn't cool that good.

  • yeah i'm really happy with the LG screen i have, it looks really good too ! the model name is M228WA

    It's also HD ready which is a bonus, I just got my other 8800GTX for SLI today, Gonna do some benchies and test's and will post a new vid tomorrow :)

  • Well done man, just watched the whole thing. You where talking about getting the Samsung LCD " Samsung 226BW 22in". I also read up allot about this lcd. Allot of people where upset of the S pannel or whatever. Anyway you gave me some light at the end of the tunnel I think im going to check out the LCD you have. Sounds like it does a great job for you. Mind if i ask how much was it? and does it have a product code name?

    Thanks! =D

  • Still wondering...

    Thanks man

  • what song is that? could you tell me on my profile cause my comp is gay and doesnt tell me when you reply to my comments

  • No worries XshlomoX glad i could help, This video is 6 weeks old now and ive changed parts already as i did have an E6850 at the time but now i got the quad plus 2 more gigs of ram, gonna do another vid tomorrow so check back :)
