A mighty upgrade..

Social Show-Off
1

Finally joined the i7 bandwagon. Was actually waiting for i5, but the goddamn itch and a timely breakdown of my previous rig got me here. :wink:
Core i7 920 D0 3844
Biostar X58
Gskills PC12800 6gb @ 1600mhz CL8 (8-8-8-21) 1.6 ~ 1.65v
Accelero S1 Rev2. for my existing 4870 :ashamed:
YES, i know for those who say its not balanced blah, blah.. i am bankrupt for now. Will update to a good GPU later. Currently running the processor with stock cooler, 4870 with Accelero S1 Rev.2 passive.

Soon to come :

Thor’s Hammer, some I/O peripherals, fans etc.

Till then enjoy the pics. :face_with_tongue:

Awwwsome purchase buddy!! congrats :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

The HS’s on the board are quite nice, it will be very convenient to add 40-50mm fans, especially on the pwm

Thats a VGA cooler, one of the cheapest but the best for people looking at VFM. :wink:

Hey, i ve heard it supports just a few Nvidia cards on SLi ? :confused:

Yes, all that later as some holes suddenly appeared in my pockets :joy:

But, I am on a lookout for some fans that go with the Accelero. Me getting idle temps like 60c without a fan and at load it touches 77c.

Congrats on the setup.

17

Awesome purchases :slight_smile: congrats.
And no, i woudn’t call it unbalanced, a 4870 will still hold its own. Not much sense spending a lot on a GPU now anyway. Holes in pocket appeared at the right time and will hopefully disappear till the time the DX11 cards are freely available. :face_with_tongue:
