I managed to get a lil bit more ouf ot 3DMark06:

Chrome loads the fastest on my rig, but the only gripe I have is that I can't click the scroll wheel and move the mouse to scroll up and down a page like I can on other browsers. So I mainly use firefox.

considering that most of the heat transfer takes place through the heatpipies, the design may very well be superior having the pipes directly on the CPU as in that pic. whenever you have extra metal between the things you want to transfer heat to, you get more resistance to the transfer...

I never used mine. I actually used the plastic part to build a bracket to use with my vapochill once I have time. TRUE120 is what I use

If you're using windows, just use remote desktop

Here is my newest setup: I picked up an ASUS P6T to test along with a pair of 9800GTX+'s the results I have so far (only 3DMark06 and superpi) are in the thread I made in the overclocking section.

hmm i would try to pick up a pair of HD4830's or perhaps even a pair of the new HD4770's if your budget permits and you are ok with running crossfire. You can see my results in the 3DMark06 thread on computerforum.com when I had my i7 being run on a pair of 3870's. The 4830's or 4770's will be...

I would go for some cheaper RAM such as G.Skill DDR3-1600. Check out what newegg has at the moment. Also, for 240-250 you could get a better video card solution. You could run a pair of ATI cards (such as HD4850's) or even pick up an HD4890 for the same price. post up some pics when you get...

it really is on a budget PSU - 109 shipped newegg CPU - 229 from Fry's mobo - 167 newegg open box 9800GTX+ - 150ish newegg other 9800GTX+ 105 recertified newegg 3x1GB RAM - 99 shipped 2nd kit of RAM, identical - 59 shipped yeah I really need to get into the 8's with this thing. It did...

haha I moved the window to show the res and just for fun here is a current superpi with the ASUS board (within 0.001 of the Gigabyte at the same speed) http://www.hi-upload.com/upload/uploaded11/ASUS9016x.JPG

So I decided to try out the ASUS P6T since newegg had one open box for 167. At first try, the CPU wouldn't recognize one channel of RAM, so I took out the CPU and noticed a couple of pins bent on the socket. I straightened them out and now everything is ok. I guess I know why it is open box...

my budget build: pair of 9800gtx+'s in SLI ASUSP6T, etc... the rest of the system specs are in the pic

does it really matter what size water lines you run with a setup like this? I'm pretty sure you can still transfer plenty of heat away from stuff with those size water lines.

I just run my i7-920 at stock clock to get a superpi 1M result of 14.9 seconds. I wonder why yours does 17.

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

it wouldn't surprise me if it did. DDR3 is getting ridiculously cheap now days, and most systems (intel socket 775, 1366 and even new AMD) can be built, provided the right motherboards are selected, using DDR3 RAM.

ah I see, I'll have to look into it. I traded an E8400, E1200, P35-DS3R, and an 8600GTS for the Vapochill a while back, but haven't really messed with it much.

btw I have an ASUS mobo and some new G.Skill RAM coming in next week, so maybe I can get the i7920 into the 8's on air. I have a Vapochill but haven't really had time to mess with it much.

http://www.computerforum.com/1225509-post861.html I even quoted it. Is the pic showing up for you?

when are you going to update the scores to the most current? Last update you didn't catch my 9.015 run. I need someone to beat me so I'm motivated to go into the 8's hehe.
