My Corsair memory has been effected by the world-wide recall of all high performance memory, so it is holding me back in my overclocking. They can't replace it for about a month, so for now I have to run it at 1066MHz and really high timings to be stable.

Anyways, this is 3.8GHz on stock voltages. Under full load my average temp is 50 celsius across all 4 cores @ 1.141 volts. It's looking like I will be able to achieve 4.5GHz or higher with this setup!

Reserved for future.

Learn2focus with your camera.

Anyways, nice work, I myself never gonna have such a cooling system, because I don't need it.

But I like modding, so I give it a rate of:

even if I haven't seen the rest!

I can't decide if the wiring or the KY scared me more, but it's a sweet looking rig all the same.

I'm sure it will be an OverClocking Beast too.

Ok, next person who complains about Guru threads loading slowly, we tell them that Kuntz did it, m'kay?

That's an impressive bodge, old chap. Looks very intestinal...

way out of my league but a very nice looking rig and A++++ for the presentation comedic timing ftw!!

Nice read

Looking forward to more!

very nice, awesome rig, cant wait to read more stuff that you do with it, like feed the hungry :P

Sick build! That thing is definitely a monster.

Seems like 4.5GHz will be the clock I stay at, maybe 4.4GHz, gotta check my final temps and voltages in a few days. I can do 4.6 but it needs like 1.5 volts which is really high.

Brianna · Jul 17, 2009, 08:10 PM // 20:10

Nice, made me laugh a few times. I like all the Jerry-rigging you did.

Hah, I saw this on XS just a few days ago. The captions are more epic than the build.

I find it particularly awesome that you shelled out for a Classified but resorted to ghetto improv for parts of your build (e.g. taping the jagged holes in your case, cutting up your TJ shipping box and Corsair pouch, etc.).

I've heard bad stuff about that Feser coolant though.

Well the Classified is the #1 motherboard right now for xtreme OCing. It's expensive, but I can afford it, and I really am into OCing, and with Intels your OC is often limited by the bclk since there are no unlocked Mutli's like with AMD. =[

Very cool thread, ty for sharing. I don't know where you live, but in the UK the magazing "PC format" has some cool HW stuff and they publish articles on building these rigs like you did, if you're in the UK you may want to write to them. (I think they're talking of overclocking i7 at 6Ghz in one of the recent issues, have to look at it)

I still got my issue of PC format on overclocking records, quite amazing the techno involved!

Brett Kuntz · Jul 18, 2009, 07:56 AM // 07:56

Haha I am actually in Canada, if you want to submit my build to that UK Mag go ahead, that would be cool to do.

Messy · Jul 18, 2009, 08:10 AM // 08:10

I have no idea what you did there, I'm guessing you built a computer, a monster it seems!! Congrats and thanks for the laughs!!
<--still giggling

And now you can run GW with 4x anti aliasing !!!

Nah. And an important correction: their i7 rig overclocks at 3.7Ghz, not 6 ofc!

You paid about $2300 for that monster? So how is the noise?
