Bait does a good job running this thread, wanna help him out and move over to this one; tech-and-hardware/topic/157249-show-us-ya-pcgaming-rig It's a thread that deserves to live and you guys have some interesting **** going on as far as proper enthuisiast pc builds go, include pics too. Besides the moron bros posts this thread is great.

Heh, Heatkiller blocks, including CPU. EK block for the mobo (pure copper, no nickel) I'm using XSPC compression fittings with 3/8-5/8" Primachill hose. I got the fittings from performancepcs.com because PCCG never seem to stock them, and you'll find you need plenty. Most fittings are like $15-20 each but these are like $4 each, black nickel, looks nice.
What mobo are you running, how many PWM fan ports does it have? Can it run custom profiles?
Yeah my initial expectation for the cost of the system blew way out with the water cooling. It will keep you from upgrading your cards too unless we're lucky enough that future cards share the same shape. Kinda wish they did.
Pheex we Better meet over in the other thread, we have much to discuss. See u there.
Did a bit more mucking around with the BIOS today, pushed another 200Mhz out of the CPU stable, can get boots till 5.1 but need to work on it more to make it stable enough for a bench. Once the SLI fixes are done with the new 3DMark release I'll finish the work. But this is my final score for 3D11.
P23219 - i7 3930k @ 4.8 GHz - Rampage IV Extreme - 12GB RipJaw-X 2400 CL10 - Tri SLI EVGA GTX680 4GB Power 138% - GPU Clock Offset +125MHz - Mem +350Mhz
I read about the BIOS flashing for hours last night, and I think it's gonna happen today. - I was thinking first, I'll do some dual channel benchies on 3D11 and Valley and see what I get in respect to quad channel.
It's gonna be a serious push to reach 24k+, but I will try.
Further edit: Or am I seeing Quad Channel RAM in there now and needn't bother?

Yeah, don't bother running quad channel tests. I had the ram but with my 3770k in the z68 setup I thought it was causing crashes, so I left it out of this build. Put it in this morning and it's fine, although I still want faster ram now.
Well I can do 1600 vs 2400 tests if you want. I think it will be minimal since clocks and timings kinda work together. As long as you're not peaking bandwidth (more to do with how many channels you have) then the diff will be slight. My 2400 is CL10 and that would probably equate to your current timings at 1600. If I can make them run at CL9 then I might get something more out of them. I see lots of RAM now with 2 different CAS latencies for the same speed, go for the lower one. I see there is CL9 2400 now.

Just go easy Ph33x ppl have lost cards on less volts than that. I must have been lucky my reference Inno3d GTX 680's went to 2250mhz out of the box. A bios flash didn't even get me a 10mhz gain on either card.
Would there be any use in comparing the Extreme test as well? It might drive the cards differently and give a diff score. Remember Aquamark? It was like you'd reach a limit of diminishing returns with the scores. I just don't have pro atm.
