What do you think of my so-called "Ultimate PC"? - Page 7

DITCH THAT x6800!! Save the money go for a E6700 and spend more money on ram or other things!

EDIT: but if this is going to be the "ultimate build" The X6800 would be a good idea. But get 4 gigs of Corsairs latest and greatest ram.

why use stock aircooling when its an "ultimate rig" when a nice watercooling kit (cpu and 2x gpu) will run about 3-400 bucks

I did put in a Zalman FataLITY CPU cooler, if you'd double-check, but I'm getting water-cooling for the videocards, then I'll send this rig to OverClocker City

!

lol sorry bout that. didnt feel like reading 7 pages of posts :-P i still think you should go with an actual waterloop however

WhiteEagle · January 19th, 2007

and water-cool the CPU as well

Isn't the Zalman enough, or is water-cooling everything better?

**simple_inhibition** · January 19th, 2007

yeah the zalman would be more than enough, but imo a single watercooling loop with cpu/2xgpu would reduce the amount of moving parts in the system = less chance of a failure. however your going to need a pretty powerful pump and more than likely a thermochil PA120.3 radiator to get best performance. besides you said "ultimate rig" :-P and imo it isnt ultimate unless it has exotic cooling. watercooling definitely isnt the norm in pc's yet. however it is gaining ground. ultimately its up to you how you want to set this rig up since she's your baby. do whatever makes you happy

I'm thinking of taking it to the ultimate level - fridge-style cooling.

its just not worth the trouble. I have a semi-disassembled prommie sitting here next to my desk that I have no real interest in putting back together......Unless INTEL decides to bring the Prescott cores back

Yeah not a good idea. Phase Change Cooling is probably a better Idea, for "Ultimate Cooling".
