Hi all,

Decided to make a video showing my updated desktop computer. All the parts are pretty much set except for the 5870 which I plan on upgrading whenever AMD / nVidia releases their next gen gpus.
Overall I'm pretty happy with this build. Runs fast, cool, and quiet :)

  • which the temperature of your graphics card with this cooler from artic?

  • @SpaceRCN It idles at around 32c and goes up to about 45c when gaming.

  • hey, still happy with the twin turbo ii? what about the noise level under load? I'm considering it for my hd6950, since the ac xtreme plus ii doesnt fit in my case, can't find a a decent video review or noise demonstration of it though.

  • @JJSideshowBob I was also thinking about going with the xtreme plus II, but wasn't sure if it would interfere with my bottom hard drive cage, so I just went with the turbo.

    I definitely love the cooler and have no complaints. If it does ramp up during gaming, I don't notice any noise difference. Still nice and quiet :)

  • is it better to get Asus Maximus IV extreme Z with i-core 7 2600k or P8p67 pro? which is better for gaming.

  • @MrChiken123 Both motherboards are great from what I've read.

    If you need the extra features on the maximus, go with that, otherwise just get the p8p67 pro.

see all

  • looks so similar to my build but i went with a GTX 580

  • A gaming PC is not a gaming PC withouth a cheap AZZROCK motherboard!

  • @JeyPee12 Temps aren't too bad. Low 30's on idle, and mid 40's on load.

    I could probably get them lower if I switched out the fans, but I prefer my silence over performance :)

  • Whats the average temps?

  • Oh man thats soo sick! When i get in my 20s Ill make one similar for sure! :')

  • @BBoyProspect Thank you

  • @keiki646 Thanks man :)

    Your rig is pretty awesome, I like the way your hard drives are setup :D

  • Looks great and nice cable management as well and I like the setup.

  • @BBoyProspect Looks good! A clean looking case and nice side panel.

  • @mironccr345 Thanks. I guess I forgot to include a clear shot of it in the video, but I've added a pic in the description :)

  • Clean looking rig and I like your setup. Where's the pic of the side panel on the case?

  • @bcrokusek Heh, nah I thought about it but in the end I just went with g400 :)

  • @americanflagger Thanks.

    Most of the parts were bought throughout the year, but it probably came up to around $1600 or so minus the lcd.

  • no naga mouse? :O

    

  • nice ow much did it come out to be
