I did it ! #x58Masterrace

[danzki]

Hey guys, a while ago I made a post here about a x58 build.

Basically this build happened because after 1 year with a macbook pro, I wanted a gaming PC, but I fixed myself a budget. So i thought to myself  what could be budget and powerful at the same time? You're right, x58 platform.

 

I do photography and some light video editing, so it was perfect.

 

I got the CPU and the motherboard first, and I was gonna wait a few months to buy the rest.

This is where it went down south.

So as I said i bought the CPU and the motherboard of eBay, and literally 10 mins after that, I had bought everything else. Oopps.

 

So the build is as follows :

Case : NZXT S340 Elite

CPU : Intel Xeon x5670 @ 4.00GHz

Cooler : Corsair h100i GTX (i already had that)

Motherboard : Asus P6x58D-E

Memory : 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1400 MHz ish

Storage : Corsair Force LE Series 120 GB

Storage : Western Digital Blue 2 TB

GPU : EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC ACX 3.0

PSU : EVGA Supernova 750w G2L

 

And god, it's beautiful 

 

I was so exited i forgot to take pictures during the build, so here are some after the build was up and running (better pics will come, but i just wanted to show to you guys this baby) :

Awesome build! I know the feel of buying the other components once your first ones have arrived, it's excruciating! I love your Corsair parts, they look great inside the NZXT S340 Elite, especially the front-mounted SSD.

 

Enjoy your new build!

HAHAHA the smoke  was a nice addition! Awesome build and welcome to the x58 master race! It makes me genuinely happy to see people using x58

Thanks, ever since i've seen this case I fell in love with it.

True that, my case and motherboard were first to arrive and the rest of my parts arrived no later than a week later! I can thank Amazon Prime for that one.

Awesome build! 

 

quick question for ya, were you happy with 4ghz on that chip and left it or were you limited?

i ask because i recently got into x58 and xeon x5660 and i'm 4.5 and i feel i can even push it higher..

 

just curious
