Hi N6D4,
I am going to post your build here so everyone will know what we are talking about. Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - SilverStone TJ09 (FREE Blue Exotic Exterior Paint Finish) Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7 3820 3.6GHz (Turbo Mode up to 3.8GHz) (Quad Core) Motherboard: ASUS P9X79 DELUXE (Intel X79 Chipset) (Features USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s) System Memory: 16GB DDR3 2133MHz Digital Storm Certified Performance Series (Highly Recommended) (Hand Tested) Power Supply: 800W Corsair GS (Dual SLI Compatible) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (1TB Western Digital Caviar (7200 RPM) (Model: Black Edition) Set 1 Raid Options: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No Thanks Optical Drive 1: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x) Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Video Card: 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 2GB (PhysX) (FTW Overclocked EVGA) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 3: FrostChill Cooling System: CPU Only H20 Tube Color:Blue Tubing with High-Performance Fluid (UV Lighting Reactive) Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (Blue) Enhancements: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks Boost Processor: Stage 2: Overclock CPU 4.5GHz to 4.8GHz (Requires Pro/Deluxe/Sabertooth Motherboard) Boost Video Card: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) Boost Memory: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my memory Boost OS: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Windows Recovery Toolkit (Bundled with Windows 7 CD) Virus Protection: - No Thanks Office: - No Thanks Game: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: FREE: Digital Storm T-Shirt - Black (Extra Large) Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 10-15 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Customer Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty 1. You need to get Stage 4 cooling with the 240 rads. If that is too expensive then go for the Vortex 240. 2. There is no advantage to the 2133 memory over the 1600 DS memory. Save a few bucks. 3. If you can squeeze it into your budget the 1050 Corsair PS is a much better power supply. Comes with 7 year manufacturer warranty. The 800 GS comes with a factory warranty of 3 years but DS warrants it for 5 years. 4. I am not sure why you picked the TJ09 but HAF-X will give you better performance for a cheaper price. The only thing I like about your case is the color. The HAF-X has much better air flow. The TJ09 120mm fans operate at 1200 RPM and that is not a lot of air flow. It keeps the noise down but limits the cooling. Frank Edited by FrankW - 18 Jul 2012 at 2:29pm |

Hi Frank... thanks for posting the config. N6D4., in addition to the cooler fix., drop ram speed from 2133mhz to 1600mhz . The higher ram speed you will not notice and can cause overclocking issues. Also, drop cpu overclocking to stage 1. DS will not go higher than stage 1 with 3820 chip. Good luck. Ooops... Frank has this covered. A little overlapping.

That is good bprat22. I forgot the 3820 OC limit.
I know some don't like others to help with a build but I welcome any input from anyone. As you know I don't hesitate to jump in with my thoughts. Frank |

Sli gtx 670 FTW with dual monitors will give you great gaming. If you game on both and play some of the gpu hogs like Crysis andBF3 you could game on at least High settings. I would rather play on single 23/24" monitor but that's me. Just seems less of a hassle. Nice rig with the changes and keep us updated.

That is a real nice config.
What was meant by going to the stage 4 cooling or the Vortex 240mm rad over the stage 3, is that the stage 3 has a smaller 120mm radiator and the stage 4 has a 240mm radiator and better parts. The cheaper Vortex 240 also has a 240mm rad for less money and is a sealed unit.. But, if you're going for the UV tubing and don't want to add the extra cost of stage 4 cooling, then this will work. You could go with the 1050HX psu for a few bucks more and get a better supply with better warranty. You've put together a nice gaming rig. Keep us updated.

You are paying $110 more to get stage 3 cooling over the Vortex 240. So you are paying a premium for less cooling. Stage 3 uses a 120mm radiator and the Vortex 240mm uses a 240mm rad. Take a look at the two photos below and compare the size of the rads. Frank 120mm Stage 3 Cooling 240mm Stage 2 Vortex Cooling |

Hi N6D4,
I assumed that you were going for looks and that is why I suggested Stage 4 cooling. It gives the advantage of the look and better cooling with better parts. But the choice is yours. Frank Edited by FrankW - 19 Jul 2012 at 1:36pm |
