its a bit cleaner now with the cables, dident make foto yet of that, and the card is going to be replaced, not happy with the xfx, overall happy with it, will post again when its ready.


Also, if you're going to replace the card, sell the PSU too, and get a 600W PSU that will run much more efficiently, and put the extra coin towards your new GPU. That PSU is well known to be very inefficient at idle and low load conditions, which your PC will almost always be at... Unless you're going SLI/CF high end with watercooling, even an 750W would be much better.

If you got $150 for it on ebay, bought this PSU for $40, then you've got $110 extra on your new GPU.

The Blue Beast

Hello, Computer Forum. I am the Blue Beast. My computer is also named the Blue Beast.

I thought I would share some of my system specs.
--
Case:
Cooler Master HAF 912 with transparent side panel
--
O/S:
Win7 Home Premium SP1
--
Storage:
(1) 111GB OCZ Vertex3 SSD (Win7 and user files)
(1) 111GB Fujitsu Laptop HDD and (1) Seagate Momentus 250GB HDD mounted in a Vantec NexStar SE SATA rack

(1) 931GB WD Caviar Black HDD (for Steam Game storage and large files)
--
Motherboard:
MSi 890FXA-GD65 Military Class with OC Genie
--
Power Supply:
Cougar CMX 1000-watt
--
Graphics:
Two ATI Radeon 6900 cards (crossfire disabled). Awhile back this system had
issues and when MicroCenter re-imaged Windows they disabled my GPU
crossfire. I have no idea why though.
--
Disc drives:
Samsung BD-ROM drive (for some reason it has issues playing DVD movies)
--
RAM:
8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 in 9-9-9-24 timing
--
CPU:
AMD Phenom II 6-core
--
Other things:
The computer also has extra USB ports added off of extra USB headers on the
mobo (I will be removing these ports soon so I have the needed USB headers
to install a memory card reader), as well as a PCI-E TV tuner card which
doesn't even work and is just taking up space inside my pc case.

I hope you are impressed with my rig!

Is this 32 bit or 64 bit?

You mean two 120GB drives and a 1TB drive. Why do you have a 120GB mechanical HD anyways?

So you are running two ATI 6900 video cards, but only utilizing one? Why don't you fix it?

RAM:
8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 in 9-9-9-24 timing
What speed?
CPU:
AMD Phenom II 6-core
What model?

I hope you are impressed with my rig!
It's not a bad rig, but it's nothing extraordinary either.

It's not a bad rig, but it's nothing extraordinary either.

1. It is 64-bit SP1.

2. My laptop died, so I tossed the HDD into my desktop.

3. I don't know how
and
4. I don't know what speed, and Speccy clearly identifies both cards as 6900s.

I got the PC from a friend who's friend built it for HIM but then my friend did
something that basically trashed the entire system. I had it taken to Micro-
Center for a diagnostic and apparently all 16GB of RAM failed POST and my
video cards weren't crossfiring properly so they disabled it. They also gave me
a fresh install of Windows.

I did notice, however, that when I gave to them, there were two Crossfire
link cables connecting the GPUs, but when I got it returned, only one Crossfire
link cable were connecting the Radeons.

Not a bad setup at all! To get Crossfire going again it should just be as simple as using the Crossfire Bridge to connect the two cards and then downloading and installing the latest drivers for your graphics cards from AMD's website.

Who just gives away a $700 PC because it doesn't boot? You sure are lucky lol.

And yeah I highly reccomend trying to get that CFX going again. Try doing what Spirit reccomended.

Took my PC into school the other day and cleaned it out with a proper air compressor. First time I've ever done it with a proper compressor! Lots of dust came out! :)

Should've got some shots of it all clean on Monday when I did it, but if the weather is OK tomorrow I'll take it outside and get some new shots. Hopefully it hasn't picked up all the dust again (but I think I did manage to get rid of well over a year's worth of dust there...) ;)

Now featuring an MSI GTX 760 4GB!

This is now an 'AMD free' machine! (bar the sticker that remains on my case which reads 'Fuelled by ATI Sapphire Radeon') :p

Sounds okay although some of the components seem a bit mismatched like the 850w PSU (what brand and model is it?).

If you picked up the APU with the iGPU you could have crossfired with your 6670.

What kind of games have you been playing on it? :)

I bought the 850watt Power Supply, because it was an offer (50% off). I don't remember brand and model. When i get home i'll see it's shipping box and i'll tell you. I play everything (Bttlefield 4, Call of Duty ghosts, gta iv, skyrim, black flag, nfs the run, minecraft etc.). Everything in Ultra high graphics (almost).

After 1st December (Case, PSU, GPU, ODD upgrade/swap):

Since these pictures I've added a third SSD and moved the HDD to the 5.25" bay to reduce vibration noise. I reached the point where literally the HDD was the only thing left making noise.

Jason, that red RAM looks really out of place :p
You think I care? The PC sits underneath my desk and the side panel window faces the wall so I never see them. I buy components based on performance, not colour. :p

Could you actually hear it? Maybe my hearing isn't very good (and it is also probably to do with the fact that my PC sits on the floor and not right next to my ears) but I have 8 fans and 2 HDDs in my case and I don't really notice the noise at all. Though maybe I've just gotten used to it. ;)
