1kw wasn't enough to run my rig with both 5970 4gig cards and cpu at 4.2ghz maxed out. Sapphire recommended a 1200watter and the AX1200 can peak around 1500w. Apparently these uber 4gig 5970's use more juice then gtx 480's which is scary. Quietish though.

I like those screens

But can it run Crysis

Semtax

I bet you dont need a radiator on in that room with that thing running.

College is coming back up soon so i think the 3 monitor setup is too much of a distraction (gaming wise). Might try trade em for one 30" and use that for work.

Does 2 x 2408wfp for 1 3008wfp sound fair to you guys?

Holy zombie jesus, that is one horse of a computer. The money the government spent bailing out AIB could probably have gotten us a pc similar in spec to yours. A much better investment it would have been as well.

Best place to get watercooling is specialtech.co.uk . Some places in europe may be a bit cheaper on some prices but specialtech offer the best overall watercooling solutions.

Here's the Warhead bench at 1920x1200 with 8XAA, DX10, Enthusiast settings. The min, average, and high are better then a GTX 480 SLI setup which people keep saying has smoother framerates over better averages. It doesn't.


Also here is another pic. I added the Corsair Dominator Ariflow fan but replaced the pants Corsair 60mmx20mm fans with some quiet Revoltec jobs Just waiting for Corsair to ship me an AX1200 now as it seems all the ones on this side of the world are gimped with coil whine issues. I also got rid of my hot WD Caviar Blacks and replaced them with some Samsung F4 Eco's which are almost as fast but a hell of a lot quieter and cooler.

Realised I never got around to posting my pics here.
Most pics are kinda bad cos I had to take them on a camcorder. This are all from the build process as I don't have a camera right now.

60 second job disconnecting the wheel and shifter mate infact i more often than not dont have the shifter attached to the desk, only the odd mod i use but normally just the wheel.
