Welcome all,…Here are a few shots of my rig “The Warbird” to fill the void on our virgin trip through the wormhole. The first photo is the Warbird’s current set-up. It consists of a classified (759) mobo, 920do, corsair dom gt’s and three EVGA gtx280hc’s.
Obviously this configuration benches very well. Although this is a very attractive set-up in my opinion, its not to convenient for benching. The water cooled gpus make it very difficult to work on and the case is tight making component swaps difficult.
This shot is of a previous rig config with a EVGA 790i, bitspower blocks on the nb/sb and vregs and an E8600 for a processor…fun little ride at that point. The C2D was a far better arrangement than the qx9650 I was using before. Everyone knows they oc better, the lesser known benefit was the higher 24/7 clocks for gaming….That e86 was a great chip @5GHz benching and
4.6GHz gaming on water for a couple of hundred bucks, hard to beat imo. My good friend Rickss69 ending up purchasing the cpu/board/blocks/ram from me and is still using them for bench purposes to this day.
This last pic is of my current desktop. Its a bit messy and disorganized, but I am hoping to remedy that soon. I have plans of building an all inclusive desk/bench top which will have a fine furniture appearance. The plan is to be able to “close” it up so that my wife doesn’t have to look at Romulan central command 24/7, and I won’t have to hear about it, lol. More to come shortly.
Very nice system!
Rom great looking job. There are some that build rigs for clocks, some that build them for looks and apparently some that shoot for both and you hit it dead on, perfect balance.
Thanks guys, you are to kind.
