i7 950/EVGA X58 FTW3/G.skill 12GB 3-channel

[oblit]

Moving out in January so that means I'm taking my PC apart again. I decided I should just try to sell it and get a SB when I get to where I'm moving.

The parts were purchased in May 2011, I did some overclocking but didn't really try to find the max, I had the 950 from 3.06Ghz to 3.8Ghz @1.256 volts stable in Prime95 for 6 hours, the FSB can go up to 210 stable. But I haven't tried to crank up the multi pass x19. The idle temps are around 34c, gaming temps 46c and max temp under Prime95 is around 58c using a Thermaltake Frio HSF with Scythe GT AP-15s.

Couple of reasons I want to sell:
1. Moving out, going to take the computer apart anyways and I've been waiting for the SB 2700k.

2. The NB heat sink is too big, it won't allow me to install the Antec Kuhler 920 cooler.

3. The PCIe-x1 is covered by the top GPU, I would prefer it to be placed on the very top slot.

4. Not enough clearance between the GPUs.

Other than that the setup works great.


I don't have pics of the actual parts but here are some pics of my PC:

as someone who builds computers constantly I have to say the work youve done in that case is superb, Im not sure my brother will have that kind of cash but your parts look like they were loved tenderly. Best of luck selling them, Im jealous of how nice it looks in there

Enjoy your SB power, you can join the 2600klub
