Srsly, who even needs a mouse. Real men get mouse mats for tablets.
well as i have no real recent pictures of my desktop setup(actual photos of the desk), i'll have to just spoil you with two images. one is a speccy. other is a guts shot, i'll clean up soon and take a photo of my....um....anime/nerdyness?
Oh my god 3-way crossfir-- wait, how come it only looks like there are two cards there.
And is it supposed to say CrossFire disabled in your speccy? o3o

well if you look closely. the top card(a 5850) has a water block on it. the two 5870's are air cooled.Kitsunemimi wrote:

Oh, no! I use my right hand for grab the mouse and also for use my tablet when I need to. So I put the mouse on the left side of my desk because the cable is very short.mathexpert9981 wrote:

savage 10fp is on top(which is sitting in its case 1+4 loaded.), mosin in the middle and my mossberg 500A which i sold, on the bottom.
had a 1911 in 45acp(of course) and dpms tac-20(.308/7.62 AR) but i had to sell them as well. no job means no monies for rent. but hopefully with the job i'm starting day after tomorrow i can buy them all back again.

2. GPUs are 2*HD 6970 2GB in crossfire.
Mmmhm. These are only running at 1200MHz, their rating is 2000MHz. I wanted maximum stability so went for a much higher rating than I actually needed (upgrading from a crappy 6GB OEM kit). And the RAM DIMMs I currently have installed are partially red, which is my favourite colour.
from what I know overclocking your RAM would put more stress on the northbridge rather than the actual RAM chips themselves

you dont even need more than just basic heat spreaders when bumping up the clocks. ram doesnt heat up with clock speed, much like any other component. it only heats up when you're bumping up the voltages. so if you're sitting pretty at 1.5v, you don't need much more than basic heatspreaders.
i've never understood people who buy 1200w PSU when they dont even need 850w. e-peen doesn't grow from PSU, trust me lawl

see now thats just stupid
for the price of one of rokodo's PSU i could probably buy 2 and a half PSU that would be sufficient and keep spares
in the long run i've made a better decision, haven't i?

Seeing as roko has two quite high end looking GPU's and liquid cooling implying a decent overclock on the cpu, 1200W, while surely has excess wattage, keeps nice and cool at 50-80% load when the system is drawing the most power.foulcoon wrote:

And even if it is a overkill, why do you care? It's not your money that he's spending.
Because foulcoon thinks he's made the better investment, which is entirely possible since his scenario might be different from Roko's, who might be OC'd to the max.IppE wrote:

It actually doesn't really matter, I think foulcoon is probably actually right in this case, but some of us just prefer to have systems that run smoothly with tons of room to spare. =ω=
Bloomfield i7 overclocked at 4GHz. Cards are AMD 6970 2GBs. This combo alone pushes around 500-700w on the PSU.
RAM: 12GB (3*4GB) Corsair Dominator GT. Upgrading with another 12GB kit for 24GB once the new kit arrives.
The reason for the use of 1200w is for headroom in terms of both power and expansion.
I also don't want to risk my components again on a shitty cheap PSU.
American concept = more is more.
European concept = one of superior quality is better than many of acceptable quality.

On a further note, I'm always upgrading my PC. By the time Intel Haswell comes around I'll be looking to an E-ATX board and even more goodies that require power draw. Might as well get the choice of PSU right (IMO) in terms of reliability.IppE wrote:

quite wrong. i have two 5870's and a 5850, and an oc'ed cpu. and none of the gpu's are oc'ed. full load power consumption is around 700w. on a 850w psu(but its been tested to 1-1.16kw). so having two or three gpu's requires at least 850w. if you intend on doing more. you need much more power.
oh and if you go around claiming you have "water cooling" with that closed loop. people who know what they're doing will laugh. like me. its good if you're on a budget i suppose. a real water loop will run in excess of 250-300usd. a full loop(all gpu's cpu, mobo) will easily run 600-700.
those things are only moderately better than a high end air cooler. a true liquid loop is considerably better. and will cool mobo/gpu/cpu's.

below 850w
so i'm not "quite wrong" then am i? lol
..
Yes, I realise that the CPU is on a liquid loop and that isn't the same as water cooling. The budget for a water cooling system isn't my concern. It's that I don't trust my own luck enough to install such a system, and parts for them (Danger Den etc.) are harder to get hold of in my country.

Yes I most certainly did, it was a prize for wining the Alienware Clan Challenge 2010 (I have pictures, youtube interviews and a trophy if you don't believe me) which was a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare LAN event that required online qualification.
It was a fairly fun trip especially since I found that most of the 'big talkers' online were nothing more than wallflowers away from the safety of their room.
Out of the package I received, it's only the monitor and PC (partially) that still work.
The headphones, keyboard and mouse all had their wires snap after afew months from just general use.

that's because i overbuilt. as i always overbuild my pc's as the psu is the one component i keep for a long time as atx standards don't change often. that and i had the funds. i could have made do with a 700/750w psu. as most are designed to handle 110-120% load.
Tl;dr Rokodo has 2 fuck off 30" screens, now think of how much constant power those 2 GPUs are going to need to deliver the bandwidth/power of which those 2 screens that run 2560x1600 24/7 requires.dNextGen wrote:

Along side an overclocked i7 Bloomfield to 4Ghz and under load such as encoding requires the affinity of the process to not use 2 of the 8 cores.
Also consider the fact that he runs 12GB RAM plus DVD/SATA drives and the fact that if put under stress caused by underpowering without you noticing could cause longterm damage to any component, NOW take into consideration the cost that it would take to repair the components damaged by said underpowering.
What would you do? Buy a PSU that's guaranteed to be stable for god knows how long with a pretty future proof wattage that was on discount or a 850w that is likely to damage expensive components.

unless you're playing bf3 or something of that nature. you dont really need more than 1 graphics card to run two 30" screens. a 6700/560 can easily run both screens of that size and resolution for osu and any low end games.(say cod, l4d2 and the like)
i can tell you now corin, i have 8hdd's 2 optical drives 12gb ddr3 and 3 gpu's, AND an overclocked cpu(3.6-3.8ghz, and occasionally 4ghz), and i use no more than 700w furmark/bitcoin/gaming. idle is 260w.
i dont get why people think they need a massive power supplies when the hardware doesn't need it. maybe when i throw waterblocks on my two 5870's and overclock them i'll need more than 850w, but stock clocks, i dont.

well considering that i just did my system, and it claims i need at least 900w for my system. and yet my kill-a-watt shows nothing near that with over the top power consumption of transcoding and bitcoin/folding/gaming. that site would be an extremely high guess for power consumption.
your best estimate for power use if you want, is other people really. look up a setup like what you want, and look up its power consumption. but remember this. all gpu's are suppsoed to use no more than 300w. as per pci-e/atx standards. ati's next gen 7970 uses around 190w per card. only the dual gpu cards by ati use around 300w. the 580 uses around 280w single card.
