I finally got round to installing the 2nd Corsair Force 3 :) :up:
It feels fantastic :up:
Going really well so far.
I'm going to put some of this in here in the next couple of weeks..
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB PC3-12800C9
Sounds good.
I've gone with some of this in the end
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB) 1600MHz CL9 [CML16GX3M4A1600C9B]
I'll leave the Dominator for my TJ07.
Here's a couple of pictures of the 16GB Corsair Vengeance LP 1600MHz CL9 installed.
That takes the spec to ..
Spec
Intel i7 2600K @ 4GHz
ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE
16GB of Corsair Vengeance Low-Profile 1600MHz CL9
2x Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD in RAID0 64K Stripe
ASUS GeForce GTX 560 Ti TOP (Default Clock)
ASUS Xonar DX PCI-E
ASUS Blu-Ray Writer
Corsair HX650
Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced USB3.0
I got round to playing musical chairs with my PSU's so the two PCs in Coolermaster CM690 II in my office have Corsair AX750 PSUs which left a Corsair HX750 PSU spare to be moved into this PC, so here's a run down of the specs in here now..
Spec
Intel i7 2600K @ 4GHz
ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE Z68 Chipset
16GB of Corsair Vengeance Low-Profile 1600MHz CL9
2x Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD in RAID0 64K Stripe
2x Wester Digital 1TB in RAID0 128k Stripe
ASUS GeForce GTX 560 Ti TOP (Default Clock)
ASUS Xonar DX PCI-E
ASUS Blu-Ray Writer
Corsair HX750 PSU
Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced USB3.0
Since WCG are now doing GPU Tasks I'm going to put the GTX 580 in here as it's wasted in the PC it's in atm.
what gtx770 you getting Lloyd?
I'm thinking either...
ASUS GeForceĀ® GTX 770 DirectCU II [GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5]
or
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 SC w/ ACX Cooler [02G-P4-2774-KR]
The usual suspects really.
EDIT: I may change the ASUS model to a TOP version if one comes out before I buy.
What's up with the ASUS Haswell range, awful colours! I was expecting a blue DELUXE to go with my Blue RAM :S
Sabertooth and new RAM it is!
Saying that, the ASUS Z87 DELUXE wouldn't look too bad when paired with the EVGA GTX 770 and some black RAM.
So I'm currently thinking
Intel i7-4770K
ASUS Z87 DELUXE
EVGA GTX 770 SC ACX
Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB (2x8GB) Black
Should be good :up:
imo this is better http://www.asus.com/News/g6YKlu2AUhio8Hpq :)
Yeah, since posting I have changed my mind about 10 times lol
They both have TPM headers (unlike the ASUS Z68 range), the dust protect feature on the Sabertooth would be great for this PC, but then it has small fans which wouldn't.
Then the Deluxe has Wi-Fi which means I could easily switch between my networks, and has no small fans.
It's tough, but I'm leaning towards the Sabertooth atm.
got my gtx770 today Zotac amp edition....when overclocked it bests a gtx780 http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphi...ition/?page=11
