My new DCS build


Recommended Posts

Today the first parts of my new gaming rig arrived:

 

Case: Corsair Graphite 780T White

PSU: Corsair AX1200i

MB: Asus Sabertooth Z97 MARK S LE (White)

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4790K

Fan: Noctua NH-D15

RAM: Corsair Vengeance® Pro Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 DRAM 1866MHz C9 Memory Kit (CMY32GX3M4A1866C9)

SSD: Samsung 850 Pro MZ-7KE1T0BW 1TB SATA III

GFX: ASUS ROG Matrix GeForce GTX 980 Platinum

All parts should be here until next week. Can't wait to see how it runs DCS... I hope to see a noticeable difference to my current system.

if thats what you have now, i don't think you'll see a huge difference.

 

are you planning to sell those now? how much?

Oh yes that will kick some @ss!

With 32 gigs memory you can setup a RAM drive and run the whole thing from memory with near zero load times... Quite certain you will pleased with that rig..

 

:thumbup:

 

EDIT: Just noticed your existing system... I agree with Pureevil, not sure you will see much difference.. It will be a bad@ss machine, but you already have a bad@ss machine..

Yes, this is my current configuration. I have already promised to give it to a family member in need. In the future my beloved "old" hardware will be tortured by running Guild Wars 2 almost 24h a day :D

Nice configuration, have fun.

 

How did you choose the CPU cooler?

I badly need one but cant decide which.

Is this one better than watercoolers?

Personally I'm a big Noctua supporter for many years now.

 

IMO the NH-D15 is currently the best air cooler you can get - excellent performance and very quiet, but expensive.

Just look for reviews on Google or YouTube - it received extremely positive ratings.

Yes, they are !

 

Just be very very very very carefull when you move your case around.

Even with Backplate support and caution, the cooler is, like most others, way over the weight that you would allow with common sense to be mounted on a resin/fiberglass card of 5mm thickness.#

 

I have seen too many boards fail because of super heavy coolers and non-cautious owners.

 

Apart from that, way 2 go

No, water beats air by I think 27-fold more heat absorbtion.

 

Compared to Ready-2-Go Watercooler closed loop systems it is not even cheaper.

 

and the copper cooler for water is lighter and its angular force on the mounting holes is 20x smaller at least as it has no such large lever to pry itself out.
