Asus Maximus IV Extreme/i7-2600K Setup

[gtech2012]

This makes my build look like shit

[ToodyayComputers]

I've noticed with the Asus Mobos, that they restart like that when they're overclocked



[heavenfromhell]

it is far far more dangerous to keep e your mother board without a CPU or plastic cover on to the socket, because the pins are actually on to the mbo socket for the Intel platforms and they are much more fragile then the CPU it self. And may get dusty as well.

[comneard55]

wow man, what do you have for a job????

Your loaded!

[MarabouV3]

@sirjamesddj do asus maximus iv extreme fit in cooler master haf 912 ita just a little bigger than a normal atx mother board

[NatteHanddoek]

got same videocards, CPU and motherboard :)

[charizardmainiack99]

Can i buy it off u?

[effendi360]

@SirJamesDDJ

Now please show me temps of your GPUs after half an hour of BF3 on ultra...

[PsychoVince]

When the power cut on the first boot I literally held my breath.

[FMMProductions]

@SirJamesDDJ Your build is very similar to what I'm building. I am building: Corsair 800D Obsidian, Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z Z68, Intel i7 2600K, EVGA GTX560 448 Core Classified, Corsair H80 CPU Cooler, Corsair AX750 PSU, Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600Mhz RAM, Corsair Memory 120GB Force 3 Sata 600, OCZ 64GB Synapse SSD (for caching) and a 2TB WD Caviar Green

[NightGamerFX]

hey I have the same mouse.

[Dorisequador]

Impressive tower man but thats alot of $ for gaming I hoep you use it for more important things like Porn and editing Porn LOL

[FuryoftheFilmFan]

hey man, great vid this exactly the build I'm looking to make for myself. question, I have an Antec Nine Hundred case, do you think the extended atx design of the Asus Maximus?

[kjetilsenNOWAY]

why are the 680's soo close to eachother?

[kasaino]

haha now there's 2011 socket, and you're yet again behind the leading edge of technology...

[robthatguyx]

whats the difference between this and the z68?

[HyruleStory]

I want to make something close to this before i become an adult ):

That would make me happy

btw is the asus geforce gtx 550 ti and intel core i7-2600k a decent build for gaming, im trying to make game reviews with atleast hd graphics. So i need decent stuff, because this computer kinda does not have a graphics card 0_o and i was thinking about making my own computer lol

[SanCo654]

@HyruleStory no, less money on cpu and more on gpu...

[HyruleStory]

@SanCo654 lol good idea im going with the asus gtx 560 ti with 2gigs too lol

[giggopoo2]

@HyruleStory yes thats a pretty good build

[xkev21]

The Corsair H70 cooler was a good choice over a ProlimaTech push/pull set-up, looks so much better and shows off the build to full effect, good job, and a very informative review. Well Done!

[H3rBz92]

So did the PSU and motherboard fry? Or just your old motherboard?

[SwiftXZ]

is the maximus IV bigger then standard ATX?

[123thepyro123]

@SwiftXZ The Extreme version is bigger, but the GENE-Z is smaller.

[SwiftXZ]

@123thepyro123 ty

[stoptotalkingbaby]

)) i would be proud too if build such system) nice pc, man

[Technoflicks]

YEAH Z-5500

[nadams008]

all this and you buy sata 2 ssds??? lmao

[NokiaN70Rulez]

*sbav* *sbav*

[jewie27]

Rampage IV Extreme ftw

[pop1000000000]

this cannot come close to rampage iii extreme

[rdhmdk]

Inchaduckshun

[Vargas1349]

Nice set up there, nice video..I recently got a Extreme-z board and I7 2600k and loving it!

[TheSecretCobra]

This bugs me, I plan on running 2 GTX 580 Classified Hydro cards and they need to be in the slots next to each other for the liquid cooling with the compression fittings. There must be a way around this to be able to run the 2 cards at a full x16,x16

[jewie27]

@TheSecretCobra It doesn't matter because there is no FPS difference between 8x or 16x pci express bandwidth.

[s4m5on]

awww this is pre recall... no b3 stepping has the sata died out

it got dethroned pretty quickly by the extreme z lol

[Jacobrb13]

0:40 that hardware is worth more than 100 lives...

[CallOfSpooge]

better put your side cover on before i cum all over your hardware

[AsianPerson3]

You got the worst cooler ever.

[madhukolluri]

i am having the same configuration.... but i get error 45... help me

[Raphaelshaman]

What about the radeon 6950??

[cigarjohn42]

Question? Will this mobo handle two different Raid at the same time while also allowing me to use one SSD as a boot drive? I hear reviews mentioning that if you turn on your ACHI in the bios that your raids will fail?

[ulfmusskacken]

I have an first generation Intel Core i5 CPU (750 @ 2.67GHz). does that motherboard work with my processor? i hope so cause that motherboard would be perfect :O

[AsianPerson3]

@ulfmusskacken NOO!!!! I believe Your CPU is socket 1156, It is in no way compatible with 1155 you could risk damaging a motherboard or your own CPU. Pleas don't try it.

[ulfmusskacken]

@AsianPerson3 haha sorry for asking :DDDD

hey emm, but my CPU should fit to the ASUS ROG Maximus IV Gene-Z motherboard, doesn't it?

I'm just asking ;)

[AsianPerson3]

@ulfmusskacken No That's LGA 1155. I'm not sure they make it for 1156.

[baxter051]

@AsianPerson3 it says lga1155 and the i7 2600k is for lga1155 only.

[AsianPerson3]

@baxter051 ummm yes I know. I have a 2500k. The old first gen i5s are not compatible with 1155. That is what he/she was asking.

[Raphaelshaman]

Will this motherboard be able to support ATI Radeon™ HD 5870

[AsianPerson3]

@Raphaelshaman Yes

[PCGamerL4D]

@Raphaelshaman Yes

[MuratAyata]

sir james this is very important for me will you help me here it is I have P7P55DE LE ASUS bord intel I7 860 prossessor can I put better prossessor on this mother bord and GTX 580 to will you help me thanks best regards Captain Murray Ayata

[AsianPerson3]

@MuratAyata Step back to 1366 and get atleast an i7 970 or upgrade to Sandy Bridge. I made the jump from a Core 2 Quad Q8400 OC 3.30GHz to an i5 2500k 4.70GHz Haven't regretted it at all. But I doubt your 860 will hold a single gtx 580 back. You could also OC your processor. Your 860 is fine.

[Qillaq91]

I GOT Maximus IV Extreme =)

[zilkoify]

SirJamesDDJ u dont need fans in memory modules =)

[superrrrmann]

@zilkoify he does if he is overclocking them, i guess.

[abi2478]

@SparkyLimiter the famous corsair obsidian 800D

[lewisner]

I have a HAF 932 case with a bottom mounted CoolerMaster Modular PSU and I see this board is an E-ATX.

Does anyone have a similar setup and are there any conflicts with the bottom connectors and the PSU? Thanks

[SparkyLimiter]

can some 1 tell me what chassis is this?

[forgtn]

@SparkyLimiter The Corsair Obsidian Series 800D

[baicatchTV]

Hes so proud :D

[beastalan]

Does NF200 improve performance?

[danisasuperbeast]

Whats the point in having to graphic cards? and will having newer video cards speed up your computers performance?

[HighPitchWOT]

@danisasuperbeast what is this I dont even.

[danisasuperbeast]

@HighPitchWOT huh? I was wondering if putting 2 graphic cards in instead of just 1 is better and if it is how? and will it speed your computers speed up somehow?

[Amuffin456]

@danisasuperbeast It won't speed up your computer, but having 2 graphics cards in sli or crossfire will give you dramatic increase in gaming and in video rendering.

[WeirdoMikey2T]

Why didn't you put the sound card in between the gtx 580's (Slot 3) so that 1 GPU would be in slot 1 and slot 4. Wouldn't this give the cards more air and still run at 16x?

[manandblack2]

980 X FTW !!!

[Mondhasee]

wanna be rich too.. -.-

[Theslywaffle]

So with 3 gtx 580s you cant use the x1 slot or the 3rd pci 16 slot?

[HQGameZ]

@Theslywaffle you ain't see nothing until you see this

/watch?v=T5pPnVfCrIk

[DJ4C0B]

How did it become 16x and 16x? on P67 mobos, its 8x and 8x for multi GPU isnt it?

[xTweetehhBird]

How are your temps with those GTX 580's?

[KSDG84]

Is it hard to install and take care of the corsair h70 water cooling? I never used watercooling before and i have a coolermaster v6gt as well but i dont know how well it can handle the i7 2600k at 4 ghz.

[Purepromedia]

Now I know why you aren't going with EVGA anymore :)

[Peace7Maker]

kepler is announced for march 2012 and ivy for april-may 2012... i dont call that much soon...

[Peace7Maker]

@Peace7Maker in the end, if you need a computer to run Crysis 2 DX11, Battlefield 3, Tribes Ascend, Starwars Old Republic and many more awesome game that are coming before the end of the year, now is the time to buy xD

[flawns]

too bad ivy bridge and motherboards for PCIe 3.0 are soon coming out

[drugske]

@flawns what's soon??

[BattlefieldSF]

@flawns do you know more exactly when is ivy bridge coming out? is it just 6 + cores CPUS or a whole line up of mainstreams like dual core and quad cores? I'm waiting for ivy to build my maschine :) and also kepler for nvidia!

[flawns]

@BattlefieldSF Well sorta kinda, I found a PDF file straight from Intel, in that PDF it sayed that it will come out in 2011 (q4) to 2012 (q2) ... they are playing it safe with Q2 in case if they find any errors or defects since as you may know this is the first time that intel is going mainstream with 3d trans-gates.

its funny how intel always makes smaller and cooler CPUs and yet GPUs are getting bigger, louder, and hotter lol

[BattlefieldSF]

@flawns 3D trans-gates are making me wait for Ivy bridge :)

I hope Kepler will change that. Nvidia has to get better because ATI is catching up with them

[flawns]

@BattlefieldSF SAME HERE! i was working on a build atm....and within doing research...lol I find out that Ivy bridge is soon to come out. Now im sitting with with a case and just a PSU grreeeaaaatt...

Ivy Bridge needs to come out ASAP!

[sly433]

not asuse, A-SUS, good setup :)

[TainerX]

The CPU cooler doesnt support his motherboard.

[net200777]

@TainerX works fine

[jurassic512]

you let cob webs build up? a part of me died just now

[TheSmileGod]

ok , maybe really dumb question , but...

I'm doing my first pc build , that is similar to this one , and what cpu cooling should i use?

SpinQ VT or H70?

[jurassic512]

@TheSmileGod hold off a bit if you can. H80 and H100 bout to drop

[Arnoud1987000]

sounds like a UFO xD

[yohanz5]

I also have plans to upgrade my i7 920 rig with this 2600k pairing it with Z68 asus maximus extreme-z mobo.. im a bit impatient, but maybe i should hold off for Ivy Bridge, which will be launch next year. they said its 37% faster using the tri-gate technology than sandy bridge

[PedreiraXtreme]

Déjà vu, this happened to my motherboard too, 2 burned pins, but I had lucky to just change the psu 24 pin conector to a new one, take off the melted plastic from the motherboard conector, and it started to work again. I think the GTX 480 on overclock can push so much juice that can burn your pins, well I had my SLI GTX 480 overcloked to 900mhz when it happened. When that happened I got really scared to lose my motherboard, because I did one RMA and took 5 months to get my motherboard back.

[laksifus96]

How much did this all cost?

[unwicked91]

That's sweet as!

[napster107]

how did you hook up the h70 to a 1155 socket when it says that socket isn't supported? i don't understand.

[soldierpwnage101]

@napster107 all 1156 supporting coolers support 1155 sockets

[TRDSpecs]

@napster107 You can use any kind of heat sink it doesn't matter.

Answering your question. H70 was aviable before 1155 socket is introduced

that why it doesn't say "support 1155"

[samuel69zzz]

Thanks for discount code for P67FTW, still awaitng this mobo on EU EVGA (not on sale yet -bad ).

[cherishctz]

sir james ddj sucks~!

[TyrannicalGOD]

you wait to put the CPU in last for fear of damage...but take out the protective cover???

[Robola12]

4:18 for the setup.

[thesniper24303]

GIVE me your GTX580 ...

[xsNobody]

Hello...

Your SLi-Setup isn't the best solution with the PCIe Slot 2 and 4.

Because there are twice x16, right - but the nf200 chip is just connected with 8x.

So the best would be to use Slot 1 and 3 - even with just x8/x8 - it will be a better performance.

[fredriknet95]

Hello, what temprature is your CPU when you have overclocked it to 4,0 - 4,2 while using the Corsair H70 CPU Cooler?

[madebarriere]

@fredriknet95 5ghz under a noctua NH-D14 give me 76°C. 4ghz on stock volts were like 55°C.

Temps with the H70 should be similar, only a bit higher.

[fredriknet95]

Can the CPU handle the temprature if it's like 80+°C and what temprature should i stop at?

[madebarriere]

@fredriknet95 it s not recomended to run it for too long at those temps. maybe benchmarking? but for every day use and gaming, 4.5ghz is enough.

[xAustralianHipHopx]

what a joke get a new x58 board ? 980x down the drain fair enough ?

[26psyside]

I dunno why but my pc/mobo always post at 2nd time like yours after i remove the power cable, and shut down the pc completely, or in your case the first boot, hope somone know some more about this.

[TheQhozt]

the "K" means it is unlocked

[RnKProductionsCo]

I've got almost that exact same system heading out to me right now via NewEgg. Silverstone Fortress 2, Maximus IV, 2600k, Corsair Dominator DDR3 16GB kit w/fans, EVGA GTX580 3GB version in SLI, H70... Great minds think alike ;)

[adamjamesroe]

@SirJamesDDJ What was whit it randomly not booting first time, why did it pause?

[mitchp911]

It looks like a freakin' police siren

[KINGhotaru11]

Give me your 980x please

[nguyen1094]

@KINGhotaru11 it a p67 motherboard lol

[rickychanny]

nice system. get brighter uv lights..blue..urggghhh why do so many people use blue? i have uv red in my system looks so much better.. juts my opinion.

[OtherVincentLee]

should have got the intel 510 SSD

[Dvizion08]

Can I Connect A WDC Caviar Green And A G.Skill Phoenix SSD In This Motherboard?

[ThisIsIncome]

@Dvizion08 yea man! r u looking to go for less energy consumption? if not and your budget is ok then i would go for a caviar black w/ 64 mb of cache

[iNekoNaru]

the processor is the only bad in the build

[ordiantakeover]

@iNekoNaru Unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful

I'll make ur troll a success:

Buy the mobo yourself and force a 980x in it :D

[iNekoNaru]

@ordiantakeover Whut? I'm just telling you.. all of you fools thinks bigger the price means better the product. Intel is a joke and you know it. their un-reliable and they overheat like a pro.

[TheXtremeGamer90]

You have a problem with your mobo and you replace all the system ??? You can also buy a new x58 motherboard !

[ISUBANY11]

Do you think i can overclock a i7 2600k to 4.5 ghz with a Asetek 570LX Liquid Cooling system and still have safe temperatures..??.

[Legomax18]

@ISUBANY11 The 2600K can overclock to almost 5Ghz even on mid-range air cooling (CM 212+). low-mid range water cooling can get it up to 5.5ghz+.

the short answer: yes

[rickychanny]

@Legomax18 mine is overclocked to 5.1ghz on water. videos coming soon.

[ThisIsIncome]

@ISUBANY11 ive heard of water cooled systems with the 2600k running at 5.5ghz

[TheXtremeGamer90]

Just a question ! Now your rig has i7 2600k ??? Is that cpu good for my 2011 gaming rig ???

[samuel69zzz]

man, when EVGA P67FTW becomes available - ASUS mobo will "go in the bin",

hopefully after upgrading to that mobo + adding Corsair H60 + add another 4Gb G.Skill will I be able to move couple of lines UP in the RIG Mods?.... zzzmaverickzzz

[DeRockProductions]

@samuel69zzz It shows the EVGAP67FTW has now arrived on the EVGA site for $229, but still has the notify me button. From what I have read on the specs, it doesn't have the features that this Maximus IV Extreme has. The Maximus IV is still the flagship board for P67.

[samuel69zzz]

nice rig, similar to mine, i'm constantly tracking your commence regarding P67FTW on EVGA forums...... zzzmaverickzzz

[wcchalo]

what is "flagship"?

[MrJordiR]

@wcchalo it means that the maximus is best under the motherboards on the 1155 socket

[codenameblue08]

Which Is Better Power Color 6950 2GB PCS++ or MSI 6950 2GB TWIN FROZR?

[YoungMoney91107]

man i just love that case!!!!! that im going too buy one :D hopefully next week!

[darksidewarrior1995]

what dont u like about the haf x?

[mxjanon]

Do you know any mid towers that can house this mobo ?

[cigarjohn42]

Nice video. Question if you have time to answer me. Can you run SLI in x16 or are you stuck with x8 in SLI with this board?

[codenameblue08]

should i go with a obsidian 800d or HAF X case?

[Gumson99]

@codenameblue08 HAF X!!!Obsidian 800d have really bad Air Flow.

[TesticleSlap]

haha i love this guy

[TheGreekRob]

this is beutifull

[codenameblue08]

dude what gpu should i go with for this MB powercolor 6950 PCS++ or 6850 toxic?

[dchains]

@codenameblue08 The 6950 performs better than the 6850.

[wwyk1993]

There's not much difference between running SLi GTX 580s in 8x 8x mode and 16x 16x mode. /watch?v=NFMzRZqFh-w&feature=f­eedu

[LordsOfMinecraft]

LOL, I'm getting almost the exact same rig! this is what i'm getting Asus maximus vi extreme, 2600K, H70, Corsair ram 2XGTX 570

[Jubiejai]

shit thats insane

[robijnix]

hey man whats ur case called?

[rthompson995]

@robijnix corsair 800D full tower case

[CatchingVideo]

Talk faster and this video will sound much more interesting -_-

[8izzi8]

Lol dude I'VE GOT EXACT THE SAME SETUP! But I've also got a GTX 590 ;)

[anguspd]

WHAT you would risk hitting/bending pins than scratching the IHS on the cpu... WTF

[DaDarkstar]

dude, the vertex 3 ssds are now available, you should get one (550mb/s read & 500mb/s write) =D nice setup

[deathflyer10]

What was the total price of this beast pc?

[lvl8hacker]

I have a question and was hopeing you could help me out. I am in the middle of a build with the same case and MOBO you have in your vid. Can you help me with where I plug in the 1394? And should I be using AC"97 or HD? PLEASE HELP

[TheSavageB]

This will soon be my same build !!! Except that Im gonna grab a 590 gtx, and I think ill now grab one of those status displays for the memory, really neat.

[blingblingbling420]

I am building something similar to yours, only I am using air cooling on the CPU, the

Noctua NH-D14 In the Haf X case, and I am also going to be using the exact same ram and ram cooler fan and also that corsair low pro air temp reader and I am wondering if it will be in the way of the memory, if its possbile to perhaps have the cpu fan blow upwards out of the case and have it fit that way, or honestly should I just go with the h70 setup?

[GeneraLKaoZ]

What's better?

Asus Maximum IV Extreme OR

Asus Rampage III Black Edition?

[excruciator]

Let me know How you like the H70... I'm about to upgrade to the 2600k. I got a H50 and I'm contemplating switching to the H70 although all the reviews only show a few degrees difference unless extreme overclocking is in play. But that is with the X58 cpus. I'm also getting the Maximus IV waiting for it to come in on monday (28th) so I can put my rig together. I'm rocking two 570's and Corsair Vengeance. I'm poor. Also, Idk how you can put the cards that close together. More heat ftl.

[diabolicalbigbob]

very nice build.i'm torn between the maximus iv extreme and the msi big bang marshal.hopefully asus rog will release a new 1155 mobo, maybe the rog immensity with lucid hydra tech onboard.

[stealthninjasword]

Just wanted you to know that you inspired me and I fell in love with your build. I was already planning on a 2600k and M4E build but was unsure of what case to get. This video sealed the deal for me. I have been out of the game for a while so i wanted to ask your opinion on my build M4E Mobo i7 2600k H70 128mb Crucial SSD 1tb Storage (both SATA3) 16gb Gskill 1600 ram ASUS Direct CU gtx580 1020w Enermax Revo PSU Xigmatech 140/120mm fans for case Scyth 110cfm fans for radiator push pull thanks

[MrPwnstar007]

sweet pc dude

[binovski5]

sweet Sweet rig dude! I went with amd (1100t, asus crosshair) but i am considering the 2600k and now after seeing your rig i think that the 2600k is the way to go, thanks dude!!

[SPECIALOPSSQUAD]

@binovski5 the 2600k is not worth it at all. the i5-2500k is 100 bucks cheaper, and the only thing you loose is hyperthreading.
