HD4870's CF ULTIMATE GAMING PC

[Iyoulikeyoutoo]

why do you use 2 bridges? You only need 2 bridges to connect 3 cards.

[buk70]

looks nice :D

[xMatanzax]

T_Ti love you pc.

[2danimm]

@xMatanzax :P

[Bebyko2008]

What's the case ?

[Massive77G]

thermaltake xavier vi case

[erich1593]

you damn rich people who have enough goddamn money to get this shit just plain piss me off.

[Massive77G]

DUDE, WTF!!!!!! Why poeple gotta hate.. I work hard and make good money so i can build shit like this for fun. it not my fault i have a good job that pays so i can waste money.

[Nephalen]

yes it is! i order you to quit your job and work for minimum wage instead :P

[ignacev8x]

wich job btw?

[syberjunkey]

how much this one cost?

[Massive77G]

Idk. i dont think about bout. just buy shit n build.

[syberjunkey]

ah ok then just wondering

[jp97swe]

@Massive77G Idd,

[Eclipezz]

i got 2x superclocked gtx 280's waitin for gt 300

[Massive77G]

I dont if i should get 2x5970s or wait till the gtx 395 comes out. I'm sure nvidia will be better since they take longer to release them, which gives them time to tweak them to beat ati.

[liho07]

using the music to drown out the sound of the fans.....lol

[Tinchox7]

The red wires that are

[goodie6821]

dude those fans are loud as fuck

[CrimsonHowl]

camera makes them always louder you know but i can bet they make little noise but not so much

[headjumper92]

Any1 knows how big PSU u need to run 2x GTX 275/GTX 285?

[bovyt]

like 1100 watts haha

[S0VlET]

dude im thinking of getting some HD4890? know anything about them ? better/worse

[SI3MSON]

HD4890 are better than HD4870. But I would be thinking about buying HD4870x2 and after a 6 months CF. But it would need like 1300W PSU hahha :D

[Atheismrulez]

Um, what? The HD 4870 in CF performs better than the 4870X2, but the 4890 CF is faster than both. And what you'd need for that is simply a 650 watt PSU with at least 45 amps in the 12 volt rails for running those. If you have that many amps, it should prove great for over-clocking, especially with the 4890 since it has so much over-clocking headroom.

[dubmywub]

gtx295 are better

but way more expensive

[chorinicpker]

my intel core i7-975 oc'd to 4.1ghz would rape intel xenon...

[Jay12341235]

why only 4.1? you could go to 4.5 pretty easy

[Massive77G]

I've gotten 4.2 ghz with ease. havent tried any higher.

[Atheismrulez]

The Intel newest Intel Xeon (the 7400) is a six-core with 16 MB of L3 cache and 9 MB of L2 cache, for a total of 25 MB of cache. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but it would outright leave your i7 in the dust. It has more than 2x the cache; two more cores, and four more threads.

The AMD Opteron would also be faster than your Core i7, too. It's a six core, too, has 9MB of cache, and a 4800 MHz H/T link bus speed.

[Massive77G]

The song is. Sick puppies- my world

[ultimaterogue57]

lucky

[Lov3Tikos]

what processor and ram u use ?

[zgarner2]

Good lord man how many hard drives you got!!! I can't wait til I'm grown so I can make money to build a bad ass machine like that!

[Jammowns]

The government already put you in debt, so I doubt we'll be able to make these :p.

[Acob102]

aint that the sad truth Death to the IRS!!!

[reffanreffan]

haha nice singing man ;)

check out my setup in a few days... all of u guys

[Moyo2k]

I've heard the Crossfire isn't working for the HD4870X2 atm, so you get less performance from two 4870X2 than one 4870X2.

Also, forget Crossfire, why not get skulltrail, and link the GPUs to different monitors(forgive me if there is ignorance in that sentence)? Two CPU Two GPU, insanity?

[Massive77G]

ya skull trail is badass but its stupid expensive and i would need that much power anyway. But i felt like building another $6000 plus pc and would need that kinda cpu power i would go skull trail. just apps need to get upto date with cpu mutli threading to take true advatange of that cpu power for it to be worth having that kind of setup.

[Kolozeum]

whats the songs that u listened to?

[NotAHaxor]

Sick Puppies - My World

[stryeker]

umm yeah your comp is loud as hell.. How many fans do you got and whats your power supply?

[Massive77G]

ya its loud. I got 9 pans.

[stryeker]

9 fans w/ liquid cooling?? umm what are you trying to do? cooling an overclocked bomb? you should remove 3 of them to reduce the noise..especially if you are doing a lot of gaming..

[jimi1765]

ah he maybe have just some headset? :p he gets used to the fan sounds even i must use like 12% more fan speed on my computer gonna increase alike 8% fan speed when it summer it now spring O_o well liquid cooler and 9 fans is really good for cooling really good keeping your computer not for burning up :D

[SPARTAN112CE]

do you know where to get a spare SLI board? im getting another one of my gfx cards and my mobo didn't come with one

[Massive77G]

You talking bout a sli mobo or the sli connecter?

[SPARTAN112CE]

the connector

[Massive77G]

I dont know where to buy them. I got like 5 crossfire connectors but only 1 sli connector, well i might have 2 sli connectors, I think 1 came with my mobo.

all i can think of is search google to see if some1 sells them.

[CrazyofSound]

go to ebay. There u`ll find a lot of different connectors!

[NotAHaxor]

For your water cooling system, which hardware does it go to first? Is it just the CPU? Can you tell me the loops please.

[Massive77G]

It goes straight from the pump to the cpu first then the nb block, then to the 2 radiators , then res. back to the pump.

[NotAHaxor]

Thanks for the reply. For some reason, this song sounds better on your video that on my computer. LOL, I don't know why.

[Massive77G]

the titanium X-Fi cards makes everthing sound alot better.

[ninkanatsu85]

nice wallpaper dude

[DrOpHaTeRs]

hey would u recommend the xaser? im thinking about getting the case.

Pros?

Cons?

:]

thanks

[codymackay123]

IMO only: the xaser looks gay. but thats my opinion. Its like the armor but better vents and airflow.

[DrOpHaTeRs]

Hey man nice rig!

i got the cf setup as well

what size is your tubing?

thanks!

[Massive77G]

I'm using Primochill 1/2" tubing.

[DrOpHaTeRs]

Thanks man! just ordered my water cooling parts about 40 minutes ago! be expecting videos soon!:D

[Massive77G]

Badass! Can't wait to check out the vids!

[lukesmart]

ati card is the besr

[IWannaPetMonkey]

I would literally KILL a person for that

[mayers000]

i was thinking about buying the x-fi titanium but do u reckon its worth it over standard sound?

[Massive77G]

hell ya its worth it, the software for it is really nice, the only bad things is there is some problems once in a while where the sounds gets static n fucked up but is to fix, hopefully creative gets this problem fixed with an update, but its worth the money, I could tell a huge difference from the x-fi to the supremefx asus daughter card that came with the board.

[closedgl]

I'm going to get a quad SLI of HD4870 x2's :D

[Massive77G]

Badass but its quad crossfire not sli fyi.

[Mupp1t]

what was that thing in the middle between the 4870x2?

[mayers000]

sound card, x-fi titanium

[Mupp1t]

oh yeah sweet thanks yeah i saw it in his other videos. yeah they are the best for sure

[mayers000]

yeah ive been thinking about buying one but im not sure if its worth the $150 AUD

[chicagochris1988]

Wow really nice rig man! When you planning to watercool the GPUS?

[Massive77G]

not sure since i just got the P6T DELUXE mobo, CORE I7 920, N CORSAIR DOMINATOR RAM. n might be getting a 28" monitor in the next two weeks.

[dingumfCallofDuty]

wat motherboard is good for crossfire? im thinkng bout buying the rapage extreme.

[Massive77G]

I would go with an x48 mobo, or can go with a x38 if you want to save some money. ya rampage extreme is a badass board.

[dingumfCallofDuty]

thx but im looking for the cheapest board that can support my intel quad core Q9300 and can crossfire in x16 mode so the Rampage Extreme is my last choice(TOO EXPENSIVE)

[Drumvain]

I was At wallmart yesterday(I know, white trash)And they had A 42" 1080p wide screen for $598 very reasonable price. The following has not been A paid advertisment for walmart.

[Massive77G]

ya you can get 1080p cheap now.

[Drumvain]

What possible reason do you need 2 4870x2's for? I dont think there is A game even coming out that can utilize that much HorsePower.I would return one and take the balance and get A 1080p 42" wide screen to Play those amazing graphix on. I know Braging rights, right..

The p.c. is A thing of beauty though.

[eduardxwx]

damm good pc but  your lcds are crap

[Massive77G]

well soon enough ill get some good lcd, a 28" or 30" soon, but i just upgraded to the core i7 920, p6t deluxe oc palm mobo, corsair dominator ram.

[eduardxwx]

good for you ! :)

[JPaul11993]

how do u like liquid cooling im considering it so I can overclock my q9550

[Massive77G]

I love it. i can run voltages and really high overclocks with decent temps and it bever goes over 65c with 1.6v and 4+ ghz on a q6600. I upgrading to a core i7 next month.

[USZ71]

Why only a 350 watt psu?? Looks like you "might" have the $ in the pc, and i love the logitech g15 keyboard! thier awsome!! Shoulda went with nvidia, and why no widescreen monitors????? Well at least the tower looks cool lol

[Massive77G]

there is a 600 and 350 psu (@ the time 350 was the only available). there is two 22" widescreen monitors, and adding a 32" 1080p or 28" lcd monitor next month.

[USZ71]

Cool i havent seen a 32" monitor at any stores yet, only a 28". Just got a 25.5" and i love it, blowes away the 19" i was using for gaming previusly!

[Massive77G]

well its a 32" 1080 lcd tv they dont make a 32" monitor yet, just 30" monitors which r expensive and r 2560x1600 res

[USZ71]

O no, dont go with a tv!! Unless you only care about size, tv's dont even compare in image quality to a monitor. Got my 25.5" for $550 and its almost to big lol, but it delivers some kick ass eye candy! Got it set on 1920x1200 dvi with only an nvidia 8600 GT OC 512. btw just got the new Far Cry 2 if ya havent played it yet its a must!!

[Massive77G]

no i havent played yet but plan on it this week or even tomarrow, well i plan on gettin a 28" lcd monitor if i dont buy the tv. newegg its only $450

[n1b1kn1b1k]

Nice rig mate. keep the vidz comming.

[JPaul11993]

i hate your mouse sorry

[Massive77G]

its cool, this mouse is badass but not for gaming, i would get the logitech g9 but i use my xbox360 controller 90% of the time.

[drissmenator]

what happens when you crossfire two graphics cards

[Massive77G]

depending on driver support from ATI crossfire will increase your graphics power (fps with higher settings) but it doesnt always work.

[di41591]

Dude check my rig out

[jayjaybwoyxx]

wireless = gaming = gay

[bionix071290]

hey,may i know what's your motherboard brand & model?because i want to get the ideal board to CF my 4870

I currently only own one 4870 have to get salary to get another to CF.thanks.your rig looks cool

[Massive77G]

I have the ASUS P5E X38 motherboard, I would spend $65 extra and get the ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA which has the X48 chipset.

[nivrin13]

but doesnt support ddr3 wich is stupid

[Massive77G]

well if you can affored the the more expensive ddr3 boards and ram then buy that.

[nivrin13]

yes ;-)

but that mobo for that price should handle it ;)

[Massive77G]

yes it should

[360flipjames]

hey gr8 computer nyc video what case are you useing man coz it looks sweet

[Massive77G]

Thermaltake Xasier VI case. cost $250 and its huge with tons of space.

[360flipjames]

yea man it looks gr8 and the space seems gr8 i myt get 1 of thes cases fanx for your reply

[bluefish2456]

Yeah man. I'm thinking about waiting for the HD4870x2 and see how that performs. If they perform as well as HD4870s in crossfire, then I might just opt out for an HD4870x2.

[Massive77G]

some of the previews I've seen there have the same performance just but not in all games, all depends on ATI with the drivers keepin up. I might sell my 2 hd4870's and buy 2 hd4870x2's.

[drissmenator]

so u said its pretty much pointless but ur still going to get one i might get one but put it in as a third or put one 4870 in an older comp

[bluefish2456]

Thanks bro. =o)

[bluefish2456]

Can you type down the exact name of the sound card and speakers as well? Don't forget the song name too! Thanks! =oD

[Massive77G]

creative sound blaster X-fi titanium and Logitech X-540 70 watts 5.1 Speaker. I'm ganna upgrade the speakers to Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Speakers at some point. the song is by Sick Puppies- My World

[bluefish2456]

What song is that??? I love it.

By the way, nice setup bro. I plan to crossfire HD4870 soon! Some time in August I hope.

[Massive77G]

Sick Puppies- My World

Thanks man, you won't be dissapointed with the HD4870's in CF. It would probable be worth getting the HD4870x2's when they come out instead of going with 2- hd4870's.

[RickArter]

Those speakers got the same ones does it really make a difference with the sound card. That fan is loud on the card and spins fast as hell.

[Massive77G]

What sound card are you using? I was using the asus daughter card and compared to that the titanium makes a hugh difference. Ya the fan is stupid loud @100% and really does sound like a jet engine. I going to a wc setup on the vga's really soon.

[masterthomas919]

nice. dual-videocard duel is the way to go. my next mod is well, im thinking installing a water cooling system in my pc. waiting for money. all the upgrades you do so often. what do you do for a living?

[Massive77G]

Ya dual videos cards are the best now that the tech. has improved alot. WC setup is worth it 4 OCing, just gets really expensive.
