for a 4870 in crossfire 800 or 850 watt will be more then enough . every body makes the same mistake about to much watt. On a computer show coolermaster had a stand with 2 motherboards, both with a q9550 and both with 2! 9800x2's and it was all running by one 900watt power supply. the setups were both running 3dmark vantage at the same time without problems. so thats evidence that you won't need a 1000 watt powersupply. i think you can better use your money for something else;)
BTW DONT WAISTE MONEY ON WATER COOL unless you got a quadcore. a little dual isnt going to need it. Im using stock and my temp is only 111 F. normal is 130 F and im overclocking a 2.53 GHz Intel Wolfdale cpu to 3.4 so believe me I know if you need watercooling.
just get some more powerful fans and maybe add a few. I did
only thing you need to update is ur fucking keyboard and your mouse/mouse pad. LOL but other then that its a perdy good machine u got there. Check out my gaming rig video!!!
i would have gone to town on a rig using that motherboard since its an overclockers board. any reason why you swapped out to the fan instead of water cooling?
yeah,but i'm going for a crossfire this month so i was thinking maybe i need it. and i think i'll just upgrade my memory after the crossfire. thanks for the advice. :)
Thanks for uploading this zedric3733. Been looking for some decent inside pics of setups using this case. All I could really find is people moving the camera around too fast in the dark xD.
corsair power supply is nice..but 1000w is way overkill for this set up...maybe if you add 2 5970's.

Does this Motherboard work with Nvidia SLI ?
AmzooO 3 years ago
No intel chipset boards support SLI, you must get a Nvidia based chipset. Examples are the 680i, 750i, 780i, and 790i.

Nope, except for the coolermaster logo which is molded unto the chassis. the rest were from the MoBo, PSU, CPU and OS.

This case is designed for high air flow and Watercooling help more dissipate heat fast, applicable for overclockers. ;-)
zedric3733 3 years ago
nice case..
I want to upgrade to this when I go watercooling
I am running a NZXT Tempest w/ black interior.
