Chalex new PC build

[Joe]

Sounds pretty damn nice

[Chalex4]

In all likelihood, I'll be selling:

• Intel Q6600 2.4GHz - G0 stepping, 1.2v VID (excellent overclocker, I reached 3.6GHz easily)
• Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme (including Scythe S-FLEX 1600RPM Ultra Quiet 120mm Fan)
• Asus Maximus Formula X38
• Antec 900
• Antec NeoPower 650 Blue
• G.Skill 8GB DDR2 PQ PC2-8000C5 (4x2GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit

All were going to go on the bay, but I guess it'd be easier if any of you were interested. I can then transport to LAN and save you the postage cost.

My special price for you Target would be £35 for the 900 .

[Calneon]

That's one hell of an upgrade! Look forward to seeing it at i46.

You could've built better for the price

[Chalex4]

Of course I could, if I'd found somewhere that was even cheaper than Scan, or if I'd just bought less expensive stuff .

Anyway, build is going swimmingly (after a PITA CPU cooler). Pics will be up soon.

[katakuna]

Well I got an i7-3820 with the gigabyte X79-UD5 motherboard and 16gb of corsair vengance racing red 2133mhz ram for roughly £600

EDIT: the ram btw is quad channel, not dual or triple.

[Chalex4]

Nice, but that doesn't include a case, cooler, ssd, psu OR graphics card .

[katakuna]

But surely you had a case psu and cooler before? an SSD is an unneeded but admittedly useful addition and you can add a 670 for the low cost of only £340

so budgeted properly you could've got a lot better for the same price, possibly a little bit more.

[Colonel Mitch]

You got the 3820????

Whats your clock?

For chalex to build around that it was gunna be £100 more coz i was trying to convince him to do it even tho the ivy cpu is very slightly faster

[katakuna]

I've no idea what my clock ACTUALLY is, but "My Computer" shows this: http://i.imgur.com/TNFq7.png
so I'm not sure if its 3.60 or 3.80

[Colonel Mitch]

Oh but you haven't overclocked it then?

You can get 5GHz on air if you know what your doing :P
4.5 in liek the press of 2 buttons xD

[katakuna]

I don't really know what I'm doing though that's the thing right now I don't really have the patience for it because I mean, it's not like its slow? I have the corsair H60 for cooling as well

[Chalex4]

As Mitch says, it would have ended up being more expensive. Anyway, pics!









Am loving it . Boots ridiculously quickly and plays BF3 at max woooooooo.

[Target]

nice

[Colonel Mitch]

Oh wow chalex you could have never fitted that RAM in there :P
