4k configuration

What is your res?

what is your room temp?

you got a lot of waste in there.

waste = stuff you will never notice any performance gain from.


ok got your res, sli 580 is more then you need for that res, the extra vram is not needed.

your room temp is an issue, whether you go with air cooling or lc, at the end both use fans to blow air in order to cool things down, on air fans blow air on heat sink to cool things down, on LC fans blow on rads to cool things down, if your room temp is 80f and higher, the fans are blowing hot air to cool things down, and as you can imagine hot air is not gonna help cool anything down.

on top of that the a70 and noctua are king in performance till you get to stage 4, so the cooler you have chosen is an inferior one to begin with.

so long story short its better that you try and bring the room temp down to or below 75f, otherwise heat is going to be a big issue.

as for your build, that whole build is the old platform and for gaming you can spend much less and get more performance from the 2600k, also are you planing on going tri sli with this system in the future?

As I mentioned in my previous post, lc (liquid cooling) has fans blowing on the radiator to help with heat exchange, and blowing hot air is not going to help, your pc will overheat, you can get a mobile ac system that sits at your window, otherwise your pc is going to overheat, you also have to think about even if we could cool the cpu and gpu, what about the mobo, ram, psu, hdds, all the other components are gonna be overheating also.

I can build you a sli pc sure, but I don't think it will run for too long at those room temps, I mean at 90f your pc will overheat in 30 minutes and after a couple of times of your psu overheating and getting sudden system shutdowns because of it, the psu itself will go bad.

also since you said you already have a 580, I will make a sli 580 for system for you but for your res sli 570 1.5GB is all you need, you won't be able to tell the difference between sli 570 and 580 at that res, just fyi.

below system is with 580 overclocked version because that was the only choice, we don't recommend oced gpus, so call DS and request a non oced 580 3GB instead of the one in the config:

both will have an issue and will overheat when under load with the room temps you mentioned.

Edited by DST4ME - 05 Sep 2011 at 4:47am

look into a floor standing AC, they've come a long way.

@MaxFactor,

liquid cooling is the way to go im sure also the hard drive options that DST4ME recommended will ensure the speedyness of games and such.  the lack of moving parts in the maindrive will really help.

MAX look at my system in my sig, I have a custom lc system that has performance way above DS's lc, tho LC does better cooling yes, in your room temp that does not mean much.

the config you posted is not better then mine nor will it perform better then mine, the 2000mhz ram is pointless, the 1200w psu is pointless, there killer card, oc on gpus, and os boost, upgraded fans, are all pointless.

all of those things I names will bring your zero performance again, and by that I mean I can come in the middle of the night take those out and replace them with the parts in my config and you would never know that.

also I like to add that your lc system will be a single 120mm rad for cpu and dual 240mm rad for gpus.

I have a triple 360mm rad for cpu/mobo and a triple 420mm rad for the gpus, once my room temps hits 80f, if the pc is under load, it will over heat within an hour and shutdown if I let it keep going, so I have warned you that a pc with lc or not is going to over heat at 100f room temp, there is nothing one can do run a pc in a hot room other then bringing down the room temp.

I gave you 2 setups couple of posts up, if you don't see it in those builds its because it won't make a difference.

if you are looking for details on a particular part let me know.

the oc on gpus for example is very mild, what does that mean? it means after the oc on gpus, you might gain 1 fps, and lot of heat, so its not worth it, specially in your case where you are trying to fight heat.

as for the ac unit, they have ones that you close the window on or ones that have a little heat exhuast that you close the window on.

the "minus zero cooling" or tec, is only for the cpu, and again:

Originally posted by DST4ME you also have to think about even if we could cool the cpu and gpu, what about the mobo, ram, psu, hdds, all the other components are gonna be overheating also.

I would say if we did keep your cpu and gpu some cool, at 90f or higher the psu would overheat.

if room temp is at 75f or below, the air cooled system I posted will have great temps, no other fans needed tho the haf x has a spot on top for another 200mm fan, if you can find that, I would add that for better air flow.

if you go to build the air cooled system make sure you use my config, don't go to blackops and build a system with haf x cause the price will endup higher them my config.

the killer card's difference is like a needle in a haystack, you will never notice any performance gain from it.

again the fan upgrade is loud, it will not replace all your fans, keep in mind that the hafx comes with a red led fan upfront that does not get changed with fan upgrade.

if you want lighting either spend extra and change all the 200mm fans to blue led (custom request) or just use more blue lights, but don't go with fan upgrade.

also where is your hdd2?

so you want to get loud fans then put a Noise Suppression Package on it? both are waste of money.

as I said it before, if you don't see it in my config, its a waste of money.

ok dude u got me lol....tell me quick about the OS boost does that do anything ?? i never heard of that tahts why im asking lol...

ok buddy thanks for your help i really apreciate it!! alot

quick question the extra fees for installing the second GPU wont be on the current bill. how will that be treated??

should i select purchase order then?

ok ill do that sounds great thanks

hey DST4ME i had a question about screens. Do you know much about em?? basicly im looking for a HDMI screen that is perfect for gaming and big lol...gtx 580 got a hdmi input and was hoping i could hook screen with pc on hdmi

isnt the response time important aswell..the 30inch has a 7ms response time. my samsung right now has 5ms  wouldnt that make the game more slower...not that i would notice it lol
