You are indeed right, but I did say in my post! Anyway, here's a pic just to confirm I do actually have it! I had taken those pictures before I had received my GPU but I thankfully now have this one installed!
my specs home pc Intel core i3 3120 3.10ghz Nvidia geforce 210 1gb (some people say its terrible but it plays most games decently plays beamng techdemo low- medium 20-25 fps playable in my opinion). Hoping to upgrade to a 650 ti Boost with my b-day money later this year!!! Rest no clue Laptop Asus rep of gamers g75 intel core i5 3.10 ghz Nvidia gtx660m runs most games great lowest ive played is on medium
Hmm, can't believe I never noticed this thread before, heres mine: CPU - i5 2500K @ stock(tried OCing a couple times but never have the patience to tinker with it) Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 RAM - 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws Video Card - PowerColor HD7970 Monitors - Dell 2407WFP(landscape), Dell 2007WFP(portrait) Case - Lian-Li G70 HDDs - WD 750GB Blue, 2x 2TB WD Greens PSU - Thermaltake Toughpower 850w KB/Mouse - Logitech G510/Coolermaster Sentinel Watercooling - Swiftech Apogee HD CPU block - FrozenQ Liquid Fusion V Res, EK FC block, MCR420-QP rad, MCP-655 pump, Tygon clear tubing with distilled water + PT Nuke Harmon-Kardon 3485 reciever driving Energy RC-10's Pics: (imported from here) (imported from here) (imported from here) (imported from here) (imported from here)
Beautiful system, you can see the case is nothing fancy but you did a great job with the water cooling nonetheless. Although it's weird for someone with that cooling capacity on their system not OCing the CPU. The i5-2500k can easily hit 4.8GHz on that system (if it's a normal chip and you don't leave in the desert)
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 mounted on a : MSI B75MA-P45 motherboard and cooled Down by a : Corsair h60 hydro series cpu cooler. SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB. HDD: WD Red 3TB NAS Harddrive for some reason. GPU: Radeon HD 7870 2GB. PSU: a crappy Silver Power 500w. RAM: 16GB Kingston HyperX 1600MHz. Thinking about Building a New one
actually, thats not a bad build at all, if you really need more performance, its probably in your graphics section, so just get a decent PSU (because no silver power is going to last very long) and upgrade the gpu (although you should NOT, have to, as a HD 7870 should be fine for most games, as should your cpu, and ram be)
I went with the biggest rad I could since my case could easily fit it with no problem. I've had the case for like 7 years or something now and really like it and didn't want to get rid of it and spend more money on a new one so I made this one work lol. I got such good cooling with the intention of OCing since I went with the K series chip. It's just that every time I try anything over 4GHz I get some kind of instability and I just never feel like tinkering with it lol. I've even plugged in settings from people with pretty much exact systems for around 4.5GHz and I always have some problems so I kinda gave up. Thanks for the comments though!
Im running a GTX 580 on a 450 watt psu with some Chinese writings on it, I think 500 watt should be good enough for pretty much everything unless going sli/crossover, or R9 290x lol According to hwcompare a GTX580 only uses like 6 watts less than an 780ti, however if that's true in reality, I don't know. And my psu might be underrated too, you never know with the Chinese stuff. - - - Updated - - - Im running a GTX 580 on a 450 watt psu with some Chinese writings on it, I think 500 watt should be good enough for pretty much everything unless going sli/crossover, or R9 290x lol According to hwcompare a GTX580 only uses like 6 watts less than an 780ti, however if that's true in reality, I don't know.

Don't use other people's settings, use an i5-2500k OC guide, there are plenty pretty good ones out there since it was (and still is) a very popular chip. I can almost guarantee you a 4.5GHz OC out of that and I would bet you got a 50% change of a 4.8GHz one working and a 10-25% chance a 5.0GHz also working!
im not talking about watt's, im talking about brands, and quality, no name brands (such as silver power) generally don't last long, and most of the time, when put under load, just fail, and fry your pc, which is why its best to use a name brand, such as corsair, SeaSonic, XFX, or Antec (not sure on this one, but ik that its a seasonic rebrand, so it should be about the same quality)
Well, I just bought and installed a new graphics card and a new hard drive so currently I have these: PC Case: Corsair 650D OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit CPU: Intel Core i7 2700k @ 3.50GHz GPU: Asus GeForce GTX780 Ti SSD: 128GB Samsung 830 Series HDD: WD Red 4TB NAS + 1TB RAM: 8GB DDR3 Motherboard: Asrock H77 Pro4/MVP Monitor: BenQ G2420HDB 24" Full HD (1920x1080) EDIT: I used to have a 1TB HDD and a Asus GTX580
I've been gone too long. I've updated my computer since my last post. The only change was upgrading to a single GTX 660. Other than that, I upgraded windows 7 to 10, but want 7 back. I'll get a SSD for that since the bootup time for that is really fast. However, if we're going into further detail and external information, allow me to give the whole list. 1050Watt power supply, ASUS M5A99FX ProR2.0 motherboard. AMD FX 8350 8 core at 4Ghz (the bios have 3 performance options, I went with mid range performance), 32Gb G.Skill Ripjaw X series RAM, GTX 660, 1Tb internal C drive with Windows 10, 2Tb internal backup drive (I use this as temporary storage for random junk files), 2Tb external drive through USB3.0, 39" SEIKI LEDTV, and 23" HannSpree 10 point touch screen monitor. Once I have a 2nd desktop, I will use the monitor for it and use Windows 7 on it. It'll be mostly for documentation and light features.

Its definitely not the most powerful in the world that would be Tianhe-2 in China my computer is probably one of the most powerful single socket computers on the forum the dual socket Xeons are more powerful than mine I know that...
