Core i7 920 @ 4 GHz cooled by aquacomputer aquaduct 360 XT Mark III

Sorry for the crappy quality of the video clip, was shot using my mobile phone...

Like the title says, my new Core i7 920 rig cooled by an aquduct 360 XT Mark III from aquacomputer - I'm very pleased with this rig and it's great for FSX ;-)

Don't think that would be a problem. I'm currently running my Core i7 @ 4.1 GHz and at the same time cooling my GTX 480 (at stock speeds though) with no temp problems. All in all I'm very happy with this cooling solution and can highly recommend it!

Uhh speedfan says about 26 and aquacomputer aquaduct 360 XT 32,8 ?

[WebMaxxximus]

SpeedFan shows the CPU core temps while the Aquaduct shows the water temp however I admit it's a bit strange why the CPU core temp is lower than the water temp. Regardless the computer flies at this speed and temps are not an issue anymore ;-)

Like I said above I'm not into making FSX movies but that won't be necessary since I can already tell you setting everything on max in FSX will bring even a rig like this one to it's knees. However what I am able to do with this rig is to have most of the settings fairly high but still have very crisp graphics and a smooth ride which is the most important thing in FSX if you ask me.

If you get the acceleration pack with FSX, it has a patch in it that allows the use of multiple cores, and you should see a definate difference.

[WebMaxxximus]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you get the same kind of multiple core use with SP2. Then you can also play manually with what cores and how many of them are used in FSX by using the AffinityMask setting in FSX.CFG. However the performance is not an issue anymore so I'm happy with what I already got :-)

Checked out the video you've made (FSX Extreme), very nice and it really does show what FSX can look like and perform like when you have the correct hardware for it!

Is this strong enough to cool a i5 cpu and a GTX580?

[dannukesem]

I think so. Not everyone knows about it though, and it greatly improves performance.

hello can anyone recommend me a good power supply, im getting core i7 920 and my graphic cards are 2 x gtx 280 thnx

ok set your settings on fsx on max everything and show us a video ov the frames on fsx...im just curious as your the only1 on here playing fsx on a 4.0GHZ core i7...INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!
