ive decided to wait on lower prices for an ssd, just cant justify the extra price. ive also gone for the water cooling, now i know its a bit overkill but im planning on SLIing in future and need to keep the temps down, the room it'll be in gets quite muggy in summer.so, any suggestions? i know there wont be much to say but anything you can think of would be appreciated, give me your craziest ideas

This spec is an upgraded version of mine

Not bad either for the price, 2x more RAM and 2x more Hard Drive, a bigger PSU and the liquid cooling.

I'm still torn between Titan Fenrir and Liquid Cooling.

Apart from that, looking good!

I have the Titan on my overclocked 2600k i7 and its runs beautifully, not loud either. My graphics cards in game are louder. Ive turned the fan up to 100% on the fenrir aswell and even then its not particularly loud, i mean its not silent by any means, but its not like your standing in an airport as some people ahve said lol.

yeah i was thinking of the fenrir but i heard there where some problems with side fans not fitting, that and the temps means that for me its the A.L.C.
the rebate has made me a shiny happy person, even though it took them 4 months and 2 cheques, but good in the end

Well theres literally miniscule difference in temps between fenrir and ALC, infact from some of the benchmarks ive seen fenrir in certain situation can beat the ALC.

Case fans, people kept saying that the fenrir doesnt fit inside a HAF-X with the duct around the side fan, fits fine in mine though, also you can take the fan duct off and just elave the fan.

I honestly think the fenrir is a better option unless you specifically need to go for something smaller.

brilliant, i think ill drop down to the fenrir, especially as i see the A.L.C has just gone up by ten pound
im also thinking i might splash out and get the 120gb intel ssd, looks good for the price, what does everyone else think?

Id suggest if you can afford it now then go for the 120GB OCZ Vertex 3, if you cant then maybe wait a while and buy an SSD later. The intels are pretty good apaprently but the OCZ seem to be better.

 

[TrustMeItsWorthIt]

true but ive heard quite a few reviews saying that people are having major trouble getting anywhere near the read/write speeds advertised, they can only seem to get to about the 200/300Mbs mark, so its only really worth getting the vertex 2 which PCS apparently dont offer anymore. this might not be the case but tbh im not sure im bothered about a difference of like 0.5 seconds or whatever, i know what your sayin though, i just kinda want to have everything there and ready to blow me away, you know?
i was going to wait but the price for the intel 120Gb looks pretty good imo and of course the intel comes with that 5 year warranty (i think)
