sweet rams!
i wonder why not a 1k watter lol

wooo nice project....gonna be a cool mod for sure..

Gary, you sure the PSU enuff to power 2 hungry 8800GTX?

waaa....
nice spec u got there.......
btw why tak guna 1000watt psu....

Holly shit.... damn nice & powerful rig you have there man !!!!

it must cost you a fortune for all those things !

Oh my god

Quad Core 2 Extreme 6800, 2x 8800 GC....
Only this 2 thing already spend almost RM10k.....

Going for display at CEBIT?

more than 10k i thing this rigs...

i was talking rubbish...sorries

which hardwares u think is cheap ?
u must be pretty wealthy that u find alot of other hardwares not matchable to yours as cheap. ?


i can never enjoy such luxury hardwares myself, and i will never wish to too

Isn't he already running on 4G? It says 2Gx2

uik damn.. i think something wrong with me today..
not reading right
cant remember to return client phone calls.
even forgotten what my gf said when she was talking to me like just 10 mins ago...

ok lay off.. any comments..
sorry bro
damn..

i think you should do raid 0 on that raptor

wow nice rig.. eh gary .. regarding the qx6800, does intel provides same cooling like qx6700? coz i heard that stock aircooling cant even handle the qx6800 at idle..

my stock hsf qx6700 idle temp is 60c ..

that's why ... I was 1/2 confuse, which u referring to. hmm..

those were 2x 2gb no stocks now in Spore for 2pairs. otherwise would have been 2pairs = 4x 2gb ... lol


raid 0 raptors on other TJ-07 projects done b4 too.
2x 150gb raptors
2x 74gb
4x 150gb raptors ( took 2customers & combine as 1 for fun results & testing once ) hehe ..

ok .. next time i go dig out the harddrives benchmarks & post some up ..


but hey, customers say wat then i give wat lor ...
sometimes no point argue with that wat is good & wat is bad .. lol
do as they wish. everyone happy then good

the original intel white box u see there has no printing information.
they dont even provide the stock hsf. so it actually come without HSF !!
only 5pcs in S'pore i was told & that these whitebox ones are considered top batch that O/C really well ...

will rape it when its mature .. but hope we got time for some number scores cos its quite rush one as customer from overseas, fly in 4days & must collect on 3rd day nite

still doing it .. believe or not

woo.. i really wish i could visit ur shop one day.. erm next week i'll have a transit at changi airport for few hrs.. not sure whether thats enuff to rush to ur shop..

This going to be one hell nice setup with most hardwares comes in black PCB.. and the black SS case ..

Which color would be used for the WC theme ?? blue /red ???

i saw 2 units 8800GTX so i think, green color would be nice. (just personal taste)

rig completed & on the way back to customer's home country.
good bro .. good patience, waited 1/2 day today for us to finalize some tweaks.


we'll update the rest of project logs & final pictures of the rig later ...

Temperature is solid.
though coretemp 0.95 couldn't run properly, immediately we execute coretemp, it crashes.

so below temp is taken from Nvidia's temp monitoring of both CPU, SYstem & 2x GPU. ( reference only, exact coretemp we dont have but surface temp is very good reading )


Once again, it is AquaExtreme's MP-05 that prove to be the BEST of the BEST water block we every use.

** Side topic a little, Apogee GT is the worst & over hyped waterblock ever, i feel shameful to even post the temp u know, can't be bothered to take screen shot even, their full load temp is erm ... CMI, I can't believe it myself ***

first screenshot shows CPU & GPU @ Idle temperature.



2nd screenshot shows Only CPU O/Ced @ 3.6ghz, memory 2x 2gb DDR 800 @ CL 5,5,5,15 timing ( stock speed ) GPU load temp recorded by RivaTuner was good, not more than 50C, max to around 48-49C for both GTX

hoo ... what a review and benchie u have shown here ...

Looking forward for more photos... hmmm the WC resuls always lured me to venture into it ... but the cost and cost still holding me back ..

wow... mp-05 outperform gt in quad core rig... seems gt is overly rated, i currently using this block, not so statisfied bout its performance when using it at 1.56vcore, core temp up to 55c-58c for both core(load on orthos stress for both core)... planning to change block seems like mp-05 or fuzion will shortlisted, btw, uglyvamp, do u have any performance reference for the fuzion block compare to mp-05 and the gt? and oso is the 2 vga block oso same loop as the mp-05, wouldnt it to be too restrictive? how the loop been setup? pump block rad or pump rad block?

wow~
uglyvamp is the nearest ppl that i know can mod things
hik hik

really looking foward to make a WC generation at my home.
for my second rig..
hopefully b4 end of 2008

TJ-07
the pc you build always use TJ-07 izzit cheap in sg?

damn... thats really cool...

I'm pretty sure you tested an unbowed Apogee GT right?

Apogee GT performance when unbowed loses to the FuZion. I'm not sure about the MP-05 as I dont have one to compare. But cooling masters have tested that on a lapped IHS, the MP-05 is about as good as a bowed Apogee GT. But a bowed Apogee GT will still beat the MP-05 on an unlapped IHS. Pretty much I can say an unbowed Apogee GT's performance will be just average. It's only after you bow it then its cooling performance will shine. The reign of Storm and MP-05 has ended on unlapped intel IHS's. Note that the FuZion also has a convex base. That is what a bowed Apogee GT mimics when you bow the base to get a convex base. Storm, MP-05, and an unbowed Apogee GT have a flat base.

sweet hardware looking forward for some pics

we've all the cpu block's result with exact same setup
mostly done with some other witnesses around & even Modern Resources

really nice temps. any screenshot of the finished setup? killer rig!! (killed the wallet too for sure...)

@cstkl1
Any chances of building such rig... u could afford it anyway .... as long as u don't own so many rigs... hahahha

btw Gary ... no further photo updates??? I'm really interested with the final outcomes of the modding ..

I see. Interestingly, I acheived an average 5°C improvement with the bowed base over an unbowed base on a Pentium D 840 EE (dual core, dual die, LGA775). A lot of other testers have verified this. Our review will be published shortly.
Anyway, the MP-05 is in fact a really good block with lapped IHS's as cooling masters have tested. Even the Storm lost by a significant margin in the same conditions.

hey bro, PM me some guide on bowing the GT, i got the big o-ring from swiftech but have no idea to fit it on...

I'm planning for such a rig also.... just can't made up my mind on casing and psu... any advice?

what? a QX6800+SLi 8800GTX Ultra?
leave it to people like gary, sure they will decide a suitable case and mod it kaw-kaw. unless u want to mod it, get those HQ silverstone or lian-li case. TJ07 . psu? silverstone again. OP1000

whaaaaaaaaaa good pc here bravo

yesterday wan to visit in shop in sg, but he din open, hahah i wan to see the rig...

This post has been edited by -=J4cKa5s=-: May 23 2007, 12:27 PM

errr dont think so...qx will eat m coolit alive...

future improvement would be water cooling the ultra when some vmod comes about...

dude how come u didnt overclock the gtx???

note on our so call benchmark & temperature result from software. it may not be 100% accurate, but its done in a full working computer chasis. all hardwares are mounted with 1side panel closed, except the main sidepanel. Therefore, the result obtained will be for the user with this setup. We may not achieve similar results again.


now on with the show !!

project has been delivered to Brunei last weekend. and this weekend, we're busy with yet another QX 6700 + GTX setup ( female gamer )

Threebond Silicon gasket sealant we talk a bout earlier. Rad was leak tested for almost 20hrs non-stop. Before we mount it into our customer chasis.


3x SilenX fans & a Cooltrek 3x 120mm single pass radiator


MCW60-R GPU block sitting perfectly on the GTX core.


we custom cut some loose heatsinks to cool the additional controller here - passive cooled, together with 10pcs BGA sized copper ramsinks for the memory & 4pcs tsop sized copper ramsinks for the ... mosfets correct ? there would be a fan somehwhere inside the case driving active air through the SLIs & out at the PCI bracket opening


the AquaExtreme MP-05 we luv so much


Sound insulation at the bottom & PCI-E power cables sleeved up ... but alas, was a bit short of black heatsrhink that point of time ..


1x Sata DVDRW, 1X 500gb 2x 150gb Raptors


before it gets wet


This post has been edited by uglyvamp: May 27 2007, 01:40 AM

wow what a clean and near finishing look ... I bet there are few cut behind mobo tray to get it done ...

Anyway it's so awesome ... all the details has been carefully taken care ...

not a single cut on this chasis

if u have seen the actual case, its quite easy to do the cable management on TJ-07. mainly my gf did it ..

back of the TJ-07 chasis ...


the Silverstone Zeus 850watt psu indeed has a bunch of cables, with a around 65% unused. no place to dump, this is the best location. airflow we notice has been affected a little, the 3x 120mm silentx is a little too weak to push through the radiator fins then the massive cabling again. nevertheless, i do feel slight warm air coming out from the back of the 07. silent operation achieved with some slight "performance sacrificed" ?? but hey ... the cpu still orthos for like 4-5hrs stable @ 3.6ghz ( QX 6800 ) gpus didn't have much time to test out sadly.


here we use PrimoChill Non-Conductive coolant - Transparent color ( under UV its blue ).


after adding the transparent coolant. we added some RED PrimoChill coolant to get purple color instead. The original purple PrimoChill coolant is Non-UV reactive though it does look very purple. So we mix the reactive transparet ( blue ) + Red to obtain purple. and yes, we pour & mix, pour & mix till we get the purplish effect.


4x UV CCFL 20cm inside. Turn the PC on with low lighting in store. Actual enviroment was actually darker than in picture. we just allowed the camera to expose a little longer for the brighter effect.


sadly, our camera was not able to really capture the purple effect shown in real life. the actual color on the tubings is actually mild purple.


we tried to get more more effect playing around with the camera but still can't get it, sad ! my gf suggested to leave the pictures as it is & not edit them for the effect otherwise other areas may be afffected so we leave the pictures taken in the original colors.


the right angled sata cables were all purple, the end of the sata is actually purple also, except that we over sleeved with additional purple sleeving. on this part we were able to get the UV purple effect.


complete view of the TJ-07 with sidepanel closed. Nothing much to see when we close the sidepanel... hmmm. only the tubings stand out.


the system packed in the original box & ready back to the owner's home country - Brunei. The package has to be in the position as shown.

At the airport, we instructed the staffs to transport the package at the correct upright position as shown on the "stickers"
System arrived 4hrs later & got a message from the customer that his new rig arrived in the desired manner as we wished. good services provided by both airport crews. i'm so glad & certainly do not wish our sleepless nites go into waste.

speechless.... i jus cant stop seeing these photos...very interesting to see indeed...

just enough to make people drool but not too "bling". really good and expensive setup. brunei prince? btw, the front intake made by silverstone or modded? that logo is sticker is't?

That is a CFP51 Silverstone accessories, 5.25" to 3.5* bay converter with 120mm fan.

female gamer with a Quad and GTX ??
OMG...what a gamer

I would say, nice job there

yep, the front is CFP 51, harddrive bracket. uses 3lots to house 4hds .. neat stuff

and yes, next quad rig is a female gamer. are u one also linnet ?


preview for the next one ....
our customer didn't like all the other casing that opens on the normal side. and decided to take this one instead. we inverted the chasis without her knowledge, hopefully she'll be surprised & appreciate it.

then i figured out Ian's 07 can do, 09 should be able to. and tried out .. whola !!
successful but i wouldn't do it a 2nd time .. lol so much so cuttings & precision holes required to mount the skeleton again

NICE! Another inverted Silverstone. I just love inverted cases.

wooo.... another nice works man, TJ09 also can do it.. but mine got side panel.

i wish i cud invert my raidmax
its tall so can withold more stuffs

killer rig......
and nice mod.....

may i know roughly how much u spend on that rig?

really sorry man ..

thnk i'll try to keep the pricing thing to the rig itself.

u can try to estimate urself . sorry

omg, that means u have a unlimited credit card or something to extend ur rig huh?
too bad we poor one never have the chance to own these kinda things

Damn, and I was hoping to be the only guy in Malaysia with a QX6800.

hohoho ... is this the final result ?? or there would be separated post to drool us further more and drop out jaws again ...

no more updates for this already. that's all guys.

didn't have much time to stress test for more benchmark scores.

its somebody else's anyway so wont rape too much .. lol

The rig to where in Brunei? BSB ar? Wish I know that guy and if so, will drive there for a look.

mmm....a millionair's rig i guess..huhu..very neat and....speechless...

i can see how low my pc is now..

damn really2 nice rig..

bro got pict final product?

nice job mate..... for you..... the rig's owner should be so rich

i can only dream owning a rig like that. awesome stuff man

* sigh** can we all stop talking about the pricing & rich owner thing ??

lol ... he actually save up for quite a few mths b4 deciding on 1time investment like that .. i'm sure i wont see his upgrade at least for the next 2yrs

thanks for all the comments anyway

w're currently working on another mini wc project .. hehe.
really humble rig this time.
