I built it around two or three weeks ago but just got around to making my final overclocks (at least until I go under water) so I figured now would be a good time to post pictures. The computer (Bertha) came out well, but I'm disappointed about the cable management. The case I used is otherwise excellent but the only things they did to help management was to include three tie downs and room behind the hardrive cage. As you can see, it doesn't work all that well.
Specs:
i7 950 @ 4.00ghz. Overclocking was an amazing learning experience. Here's the validation too. VCore is at 1.235 which I still need to find a minimum for.
XFX Radeon 4890.
Kingston HyperX 6GB RAM.
Gigabyte X58-USB3 motherboard.
Corsair HX850 PSU
Corsair A70 HSF
Thermaltake Armor A90 case.
2x WD 7200RPM hardrives.
Plantronics 955 headset.
Logitech MX518 mouse.
Temps:
CPU- 40C with an ambient of 28C on idle. ~60C under normal load, ~72C with Intel Burn Test.
GPU- 40C idle, ~60 under normal load, ~75 with Furmark.
Pictures:
My next change will be to replace the GPU, and after that to replace the case with a Corsair 800D and setup water cooling for the CPU and GPU. I'm hoping to get that done by summer of next year, though that depends on tuition costs.
