Hey guys, Thought i'd share my new build.
With the economy n work being the way it has been for the last couple years for us, my good ole q6600 has gotten me through but it's now time to retire her and let her rest in the woman's sewing room and live a happy life consisting of Facebook and Bejeweled.

Well..I'm impressed with it so far. It's virtually silent while keeping everything very cool, cpu has yet to break the 40'c mark under load.
I haven't had much time for benches yet, too busy playing games atm. It's finally nice to play some WoW Cata that stays pegged at 60fps in SW at 1920x1080 w/all eye candy up and dx11 enabled.

Anyhoo..on to the new shiney.

As you can see it's like Christmas around here for me.

Thx for lookin.
 
Wow, nice! :D Especially liking the cable management, it looks very clean from the outside :D
 
I think with that beautiful setup and H50 you can do better than 4.2 GHz. Have fun.
 
Nice clean build. I need to give one of those Silvertsone's a go one day.
 
I love my HAF932 but I really like the look of those Silverstones. Really cool build.
 
Stunning fociz!! You should have no problem getting your 2600K to 4.6 - 4.8Ghz in the 1.35v range..
 
One question? How much moolah did that run ya ahaha.. Nice setup. I would have liked to see an H70 but that 50 will get you 4.4 easy maybe 4.5. Case looks great!!!!
 
That's a great case.

You should get a real monitor though, 1920x1080 @ 40" has to be painful for getting anything done...
 
That's a SWEEET build. Congrats!!!
I have the RV02 being delivered tomorrow. I like the clean look of your FT02. Very nice job on the build.
You'll have no problem getting 4.5-4.6GHz on your rig and if you have one of the "Golden" Sandy cpu's... a easy 4.8 on low VCore.
 
Wow -- I really like that case. I was leaning towards the 800D, but this is growing on me.
 
Yeah. the box for the AX850 is huge but, it's the same box they use for the larger AX1200 which actually fits the box. The AX850 is a normal sized PSU and that box is 1/2 empty.
 
Nice case. Don't listen to those that say the h50 isnt all that great. With anything other than the stock cooler, you can reach 5.1-5.2 ghz, which is more than what 90% of people can get anyways. So I wouldnt worry about it.

that CPU cooler is quite sexy as well.
Click to expand...

That *appears* to be a Corsair H70, the new standard for AIO watercooling.

I'm doing some more research on the H70 this week to see if it can actually fit in my current case (which I'm re-using) or will I need a bigger case if I go with the flow.

Darn, darn, darn! I'd have to get a bigger case if I go water-cooling.

Considering one of two CM cases, the HAF922 (mid-tower) and HAF932 (full tower, and a fave so far among the SB crowd).

Question for those using the H70 and HAF932 combo - ideal spot to mount the radiator?
