Grnfinger, some of your tubings look kinked or are they?

the tubing connecting the NB and CPU is definetly kinked in a very bad way! i would get me some 90° angled fittings, so you dont loose performance due to that

That Phantom is beautiful.

Because the iMacs, Minis and Mac Pros are not overproced. Expensive? Yes. Overpriced? Absolutley not. An iMac, for example, is more expensive than other all-in-ones because it has a $1000 screen in it. Mac Pros have dual cpu workstation/server boards and dual xeon cpus. Price that stuff from other OEMs. When you look at the cost of the individual parts, you'll see that their prices are right in line with other oems for the same type of system.

Sorry, but you are, quite simply, just wrong on this one. The only thing I'll give you as overpriced are the laptops, and when you use Apple's upgrades when you are configuring your system.

AGAIN you don't seem to get it, fark your i mac I'm not talking about that, you want to debate value, of something I have stated no less than 4 times now I am not comparing anything too, because there is no comparison in that price range! There Towers you are simply wrong about, they are not all dual CPU workstations, and you can build your own for less, and have the same or more power, and still have the Mac OS, especially now that more boards are coming with UEFI, I don't know where you do your shopping besides maybe the Mac store, but their price are out of line with the rest of the internet.

This is my last post on this topic, because you want to play semantics, and frankly I would love to have an argument about it but your like talking to a dog you may make a lot of noise but you can't listen, I also refuse to thread crap anymore.

YOU CANNOT COMPARE HOME BUILT TO OEM.

I'm not playing semantics. The problem is you want to play on an unfair playing field. You want to keep saying you can build your own for cheaper. Yeah, but that's completely beside the point. You are comparing a home built to an OEM computer. No shit it's cheaper to build your own. Duh. :rolleyes:

It's also cheaper to build your own compared to Dell or HP.

To say Macs are overpriced, you have to compare them to other OEM computers with the same features. Go build a dual cpu workstation from Dell or HP with the same config as one of the base model Mac Pros. You will see the prices are right in line with each other.

So again, you are just wrong. Most Macs are not overpriced for what you get, period.

I think I have let this conversation go long enough. If you plan to continue this, please take it to PMs, or at minimum provide us images to look at instead of reading the argument

Wile E · Jul 23, 2011

Fair enough. Sorry sneeky.

Enjoy these old rehashed pictures of stuff I blew up.

What happened to that block?

yes the first attempt the tubing got a bit crushed..I changed the inlet and outlet on the NB block and it allowed for a kink free run

Very nice mate

Love the 06 score too

Cant seem to get anywhere near 30k sadly!! :lol:

Thanks , very pleased with the results.
Now I just need to sleeve the PSU and add a mid plate to hide the wires

phill · Jul 23, 2011

I bet you are mate

I would be!! I've yet to break 100k in 3D Mark 01SE and 30k in 3D Mark 06, but hopefully I will be able to soon!!

I would love to learn how to sleeve things but I just couldnt do the PSU.. Heck I struggle thinking about a single fan let alone something like that!! Hats off to anyone that does do it tho.. I'd probably get all the wires mixed up or they'd all pop out after I was finished!! :lol:

Oh and hide what wires??!! That build is cleaner than clean!!

If you can do yours, could you pop over and do mine for me too please??

30k in 3D Mark 06

Easy to do now, I was shocked myself @ how easy it was when I finally got there.

Only takes 4.5 GHz on SB, with 2133 ram, and a single HD6950, unlocked and clocked.

http://3dmark.com/3dm06/15904711

10k in 3DMark11 with dual 6950's, unlocked and clocked.

http://3dmark.com/3dm11/1536543 (Futuremark says this score is low, even)

We're at an impressive stage in technology, where compute horsepower greatly exceeds most workloads, but what truly makes it impressive is the relatively affordable pricing. $1500 can get you a damn quick system, capable of pushing most titles across 3 1080p monitors.

Good time to be a gamer.

phill · Jul 23, 2011

Yes it is

Just make sure its not 3 1600P monitors else you'll be forever upgrading!! :lol:

I'm hoping that I might be able to make a few personal bests with my new card/s

I'm only going to be running them single at first, but I'll just have to put them in together just to make sure they work ok

You should have said you needed parts!! I've got bloody loads of bits floating about the place!!

Quad rad, 15 1/2" barbs, tubing (3/8", 7/16" and 1/2" stuff!!) I'm trying to get rid of!!

But then, I guess the postage would have been a bit high

DanishDevil · Jul 24, 2011

I saw your thread, man. I'm SUPER picky sometimes, and I need that specific radiator, the XSPC kit is a good deal, and yeah. Main reason I'm going water is because I miss it, and I'm going for aesthetics. If I was going balls to the wall performance, I would have definitely picked up some stuff from you

But I gotta make my 600T SE look pretty!

phill · Jul 24, 2011

Thats ok, I was trying to get rid of some older bits that I have laying about here, its just driving me nuts having it sat here doing nothing so I'm trying to get rid of it!

There's nothing wrong with the XSPC stuff, I have some bits sat here

JrRacinFan · Jul 24, 2011

@DD

Nice to see you got your stuff ordered! Now time to get your sleeving done before they arrive!

@cadaveca

Want to know what's even sad? Most of the games on pc are ports today, just think if there was proper coding/development games would be more visual and optimized.

@phill

Been looking at getting a kit but not til after a case mod.

phill · Jul 24, 2011

What sort of bits are you looking out for and what sort of case mod are you planning on doing??

I'm all interested in seeing what others do with their PC's

After all, isnt that the point??

Oh, it's just going to be a minimal mod to a rocketfish case http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1406949&postcount=2389 http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1980317#post1980317 Same case but VERY different hardware.

-Add triple rad mounting to the top
-Clean up cable management

Planning on picking up a XSPC Rasa 120 double kit. Some time after that adding my gpu into the loop along with an MCR320. Little after that happens look into adding mounting internally for XSPC rad.

phill · Jul 24, 2011

Sounds like your gonna have your work cut out for you

I cant wait to see a build log when you start

I noticed the hardware change

How do you find it running for you? Easy to overclock and faster than fast??

First link: s775 e5200 R0 & MSI P7N Platinum kept at 4.4Ghz 1.35v 24.7
Second link: s1156 Core i3 530 & Asus P7P55 WS was run at 4Ghz 1.27v 24.7 when I had it, I no longer have the board and cpu now stays at stock for the wife

Compared to what I am running currently, no difference tbh. Yeah, I don't think i will do a build log. I am not really going to be changing much.
