Ain't it hot? :PAvoK95 wroteMy god! seems like there's lava in there :P
Post your rig
Avo please post your temps with the current OC at idle and with load. I want to see how bad is my CPU cooler. Hope that H80 come as soon as possible. Thanks!
- Edited
Case closed : Idles at 42 on hottest core and at 91 stressed on prime95 at Small FFTs
Case open : dles at 40 on hottest core and at 90 stressed on prime95 at Small FFTs
Remember that my processor is moded, meaning I have changed the stock thermal paste from under the CPU IHS and replaced it with Arctic MX4 giving me 15 degree cooler temps, and even at that they run really really hot.
All 4 of my fans were at 100%

My System :
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500, clocked @ 3.3 GHz, 6mb cache
Motherboard: Asus P8P67 Pro B3 revision
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance clocked @ 1600 MHz, with timings 9-9-9-24
Graphics card: MSI Radeon HD 7950 with core clocked @ 880 MHz and memory @ 1250 MHz
Secondary graphics : Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 with core clocked @ 900 MHz and memory @ 1050 MHz ( Obviously not for Crossfire purposes, I use this for Folding@Home )
Case: Coolermaster Cosmos II Ultra tower
Sound: No idea (On-Board)
Optical Drive: Pioneer 24X DVDRW
Boot Drive: 256 GB SSD Crucial M4 RAID 0 array ( 2 x 128 GB Crucial M4 in RAID 0 )
Storage: Hitachi 1TB, 7200 RPM , 16MB cache
Secondary storage: Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB, 5900 RPM, 64MB cache
Third storage drive : Western Digital Green 3TB, 5400 RPM, 64 MB cache
CPU Cooler: Stock Intel retarded cooler
PSU: XFX core series 850W
Primary monitor : Samsung Sync Master PX2370 23" LED 1920x1080 resolution
Secondary monitor : Acer S201HL 21" LED 1600x900 resolution
Third monitor : Viewsonic VA1918wm 19" LCD 1440x900 resolution ( Monitors are not for Eyefinity or something like that, just for bigger working space on desktop )
Keyboard : Razer Lycosa backlit programmable keyboard ( Non mechanical )
Mouse : Razer Abyssus 3500DPI ( pretty impressive for being a low end gaming mouse ! )
Mouse Mat : SteelSeries QCK+
UPS: PCE 2000VA offline UPS
Sound output(s) : Logitech G930 wireless headset
Sony stereo ( No idea what model number and too lazy to check but it's very old )
Upgrades to be done :
1 ) GET A DESK ! ( for very obvious reasons ... look at the pictures )
2 ) Get better fans for the case
3 ) Get an unlocked CPU instead of my 2500, if anyone wishes to trade I am more than pleased to undergo the transaction :P ( I will pay the difference :P )
4 ) Switch the two monitors I have with 2370s and actually utilize Eyefinity as it is supposed to be ( With current monitor configuration it is very retarded )
5 ) CPU cooler
6 ) Don't really need it but maybe get a decent sound card with a Sennheiser HD 598 ( Shant.. cough cough )
Anyway here is the thing :

@MrClass about the Red Neon lights you have.
They are not Cold cathodes right? their strictly neon?
If so, where did you get it from? and how much did it cost you?
And, you did not mention whats your keyboard!

Seems like PX2370 is quite popular! :-)
It's quite awesome aswell ;)xterm wroteSeems like PX2370 is quite popular! :-)
That's DOTA 2!reppinhighz wrotejust wondering which game is that in the above picture?
Can't believe you didn't recognize it :P
I think they are both neon cold cathodes? Not sure; anyway this is it: http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/accessory/CaseMods/perfect%20light/nonsound/nonsound.aspAVOlio wrote@MrClass about the Red Neon lights you have.

You can find them at PC&Parts, link: http://www.pcandparts.com/must.htm
The keyboard is a Microsoft Sidewinder X6 (thinking of changing to a mechanical keyboard). The removable numpad though is quite a nice option, very handy in DOTA
Yea so they are cold cathodes.
Gonna get a Yellow one or a UV one to match up with my rig also.

The red interior looks epic! yet the whole PC looks very professional at the same time. So far PowerPC creamed all of our rigs :P
lol well even if i saw a better picture (its a bit blurry), chances are i would still not recognize it. i dont think i have played dota 1 or 2 for that matter. i was never a big fan :)MrClass wroteThat's DOTA 2!reppinhighz wrotejust wondering which game is that in the above picture?

Hehe thanks!
Admittedly the pc looked better and cleaner when i had a corsair H60 as a cpu cooler. But i wanted absolute silence on the rig and so went with this massive heatsink. All in one coolers will always have that extra pump noise..
