Small but powerfull

[KillerTom500]

Hello this is my new build I did because my old GTX 470 SLI wasn't powerfull anymore and I wanted to game on 5760x1080. Result was this little monster:

-SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB 

-HDD: 1TB WD Green

-CPU: Intel Core I7 4770K 
-CPU Cooler: Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 
-GPU: Asus GTX 770 DCUIIOC (2-way SLI) 
-RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro Red 8GB 
-Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Gene 
-PSU: Corsair TX750-V2 
-Case: Corsair Obsidian 350D (window) 
-Monitors: 3x Acer V236HL, Samsung Syncmaster 245B
-Keyboard and mouse: Steelseries Z-board, Logitech G5 
-Speakers and racing wheel: Logitech Z-5500, Driving Force GT

 

Thinking bout watercooling but no money for that yet now that I bought this hardware.

 

And on request how I fitted the Vengeance Pro under the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2: clearance to fins bout 1/2mm and the fan I moved up few fins.

sick setup :DD love the 3 moniters and the cpu cooler looks cool as ;D but i cant help but notice is it the camera angle or is that graphics card sag? 

[KieranThePCGuy]

Looks great mate! Nice to see a racing enthusiast too! :P

[jonasa97]

Very nice build! looks like the upper card is suffocating though

[KillerTom500]

@Lewiscool45 Can't do nothing bout the fact that those gpu's are heavy as hell, yep they hang a little. Can't do anything bout gravity eh! :p

@KieranThePCGuy Thanks and nothing more lovely then fast hardware and fast cars :D

@jonasa97 The upper card goes bout 10° hotter on load 76° C for 1st and 66° on second GPU.

[KieranThePCGuy]

@KillerTom500 I know right! :P

how the heck did you fit the vengeance pro under that massive heatsink ? :O can you show us some pics in an angle that we can see both ?

 

looks amazing your setup cheers man

[ANUPLUCIFERGAMER]

don't you have an hdd for mass storage??

[KillerTom500]

@Axis the only thing I had to do was position the 120mm fan on the side upwards a few fins, the clearanse for the dimm in the 2nd slot was almost nothing but it fitted.

@ANUPLUCIFERGAMER forgot to add to specs list: I got a WD green 1TB from my old system

Love the setup!, dont like the cpu cooler though looks too big, i like to see more motherboard

[KillerTom500]

also will have to take out my gpu's to connect my reset connector leads to the direct key function on mobo, because my pc boots up so fast I cannot get into bios, so will try to take picture of the dimms then

Well I did it because I didn't want to buy a closed loop cpu cooler like H100i; the pump in that case is noisy on idle. I know that you cannot see alot but I built this system to be as quiet as possible and as cool as possible.

My H100i is silent with SP 120's on it, I only said that because you have a nice looking motherboard thats being covered up

Most I heard the fans were not the problem but the pump, you can turn the pump down but most times it makes humming noise then and didn't want to take chance on that. I'm happy with the "be quiet!" because its dead silent. But If I wanted to watercool I'd go full out, so GPU full cover waterblocks and CPU.

Got the pics u asked for because I had to run the reset lead to the direct key :P now how do I put em in here :D?

 

Edit: there in the first post now

[Axis]

omg!! theres like 2mm of gap.. didnt you took that in mind before buying the ram and the cooler ? or was it just luck that they fit so close together ? :D

Well I took It in consideration I looked tastyPC.tv her review on the cooler and she said max u can fit is bout size of ripjaws and the pro is same size as them.

 

 From 2:00 on she talks bout it and on 2:14 u'll see it the best.

What are you using to get a different image on each screen?

What are you using to get a different image on each screen?

 

I'm using a 5760x1080 wallpaper (bodycounts post)

Also if you take 3 pictures u want and download any 5760x1080 wallpaper u can just with paint put the three 1920x1080 together so they make a 5760x1080 picture earasing the one 5760 one u downloaded.
