GTX 280 Nvidia, I bet one on Ebay and got it for 200$ with shipping :)

I will use 2 SSD on RAID 0 Its gonna be on fire.

Look the test spec with RAID 0 for OCZ one

cpu cooler, Corsair water cooler, H50. find it on new egg. i swear by it. i will never do another build with a traditional HS?fan again.

all-in-one kit, easy to install, ZERO noise, great heat dissipation.

i have pics in may i7 build if youd like to see.

with my 240mm fan and SSD, there is no sound from this case. youd love the kit. i felt bad clamping some giant copper/alum/fan to my new i7. this water block thingy is sooo nice.
 
Do you overclock it as well ? H50 from corsair was my first choice. But I saw couples bad comments on it. Like it wasn't giving the cooling they wanted. They might be wrong, maybe they did not installed it correctly.
And, on a Benchmark review, the best CPU cooler, after testing a lots of them was Prolimatech Megahalems

Which is a lot similar to mine. V8 is very more quiet.
But they did not test the H50. Next time they will.
Tell me what you think I might change my mind.
 
no over clock and im sure if i did the push/pull method a lot of ppl talk about with the fans itd be cooler.

corsair says to use the fan as a rear "intake" blowing in to the radiator. i think adding a second fan to the back of the radiator would make it a bit cooler.

however, i have no real need to do it. i have not had one heat problem yet and i play everything at 1920x1080p on my 50" plasma (dual setup on 23" lcd).

my case is the coolermaster haf922. one huge fan up top, front, and one 120mm on the bottom.

gpu is evga gtx260

this little water pump keeps the case clean and cool.

It's a shame you don't overclock, roth. Just take it to 3.4 at least - I'm sure you can do it on the default voltage...
 
For air cooling the Megahalems rocks; I have it with only 1 fan (scythe) and the thing is silent and cool.
 
How about a little temp reading of my own. I have an Antec p182 case with a 750w power supply, a pair of 500gb hard drives, a pair of 260gtx's, a sound card, and 6gb ram. I have four Noctua fans (I replaced the Antec tri-cools that came with the case when I found them at Microcenter @ 15.00 each) that are an input fan on the front, one in front of the bottom mounted PSU, one on the back, and one on the top. I have the Megalems with a Scythe fan. The system is almost silent as the only thing you can hear is the video card fans and after playing BC2 for three hours on all high settings the other night my CPU temp was 36 and the system 43. Just a heads up on performance of that thing, and their mounting kit rocks.
 
Not right now. I had it overclocked but I had a BIOS problem recently and have been too lazy to redo the settings. OC'ed to 3.4 the temps were only a few degrees above. I forgot to mention I am running an i7 920. Ask Sixer about the cooler and oc; he has pretty much the same setup except for a really airy case so his temps are down from mine given equal settings, but he plays with the speeds a lot more than I do.
 
I was just suprise you got a so low temperature on full pc processing. If it's not overclocked, I understand why. What I read about with overclocking and with the cpu fan, was more around 40.
 
You really should ask Sixer what temps he gets; I don't think he hits 40 degrees and his is pretty well overclocked. As far as why not overclock it right now, I run 2142 at 200fps on max settings and BC2 at 70 -80 fps on high settings, both at 1680x1050. With that, I figured why crank it up and produce more heat. When I get back to some more intensive stuff I will crank it back up (because the cooling rocks when cranked for air - based) but I am just a tad lazy and after all, why mess with a stable, good thing.

It's pretty much impossible to get 40C under 100% load while highly overclocked with any air cooler on the market - unless the PC is in an environment where it's -30C outside perhaps.

It all depends on how high you want to overclock, what the ambient temperature is, and what luck you have with the processor (voltages), as well as the cooler of course.

I'd say if you're looking at 4.0Ghz with a D0 (SLEBJ) I7-920 with a high-end cooler like the fuckingomegahalemsomgit'shuge, at room temperature (20-22C), at some reasonably non-insane fanspeed on the cooler fan and good case ventilation, you're going to be looking at at least 70-75C load from what I've seen online.

40C on load is way low for 4.0ghz and 100% continuous load, and can be achieved only with really, really good water cooling or something better like phase change / peltier / liquid nitrogen etc.
 
What I saw on the reviews of this promalagalemalag cpu fan, they was saying it was going around 40. but maybe nobody overclocked. And I dont want a go back on the reviews right now, just to confirm it. I saw to many of them already.
But thank you for this information.
 
Non-overclocked, it might be possible.

Overclocking, and especially overvolting increases the heat exponentially from what I've seen and my experience...

Going from 4.0ghz and 4.2ghz might mean an increase of 10C+ and power consumption of 30W, while going from 2.6ghz to 2.8ghz, maybe like 2-3C and ~5W at most (just guesses, but gets the point across).

This is 100% load I'm talking about btw.

i dont know how :( .

take a look at the intel mobo bios setting and let me know :O

dp55wg i think
