Re: My New Gaming PC

Nice build, especially nice use of zip ties. Heatpipe towers are awesome, and they love to have an intake and exhaust fan lined up with them. Should be quite the beast for a long time.

You'd like my build:







There are more pics in the link in my sig.

It's more than a little outdated, but I take a lot of pride in the cooling system. There are 2 other 120mm fans in line with the CPU heatpipe tower.
AMD Athlon 64 FX-55, overclocked to 2.8ghz @ 1.55V, 45°C load (The FXs had unlocked multipliers like the black editions.)
8800GTS 320MB
And that little heatpipe tower below the graphics card means that the northbridge idles at basically room temperature.
