    It hasn't been that long... he was on for the Puro Pot Pass III. Not sure if he logged on since then.

    Yeah, pretty much a rig like that is for gaming, however, his is more blng than I prefer. I like to stay maybe a year behind the computer curve, and keep putting the new shit in an old case. A lot of his is for looks.

    To keep it real, some people only smoke Opus because they think it's cool.

    HEY, I smoke Opus X because I LOVE 'dem ceegars.

    Getting back to his computer, is there REALLY a need for liquid cooling for the northbridge AND southbridge chipsets, ever for the most avid gamer who's overclocking his computer?

    Well, I'm no gaming expert...I don't have the time right now, however I'm pretty sure there's games that will melt the most over clocked / cooled computer, so yes there is a need.

    Silencie's is mild...check out my buddy's a few posts down.

    PS. I think Opus is a decent cigar.

    I added one more 19 inch Dell to match the other 2 for eyefinity gaming.
    Its getting hard to find 19's that are not wide screen.
    I was thinking of going with 3 24's but i need a bigger desk for that.

    So I've come back as a ghost to answer your question. When it comes to watercooling, you're trying to isolate all the moving air to one spot where the radiator is. When you do that, you have little to no ambient air cooling anything inside the computer. Nowadays since the northbridge and southbridge play a major role in the performance of a computer, and most require a heatsink of sorts, it would be smart to watercool it to prevent overheating issues and create stability in the long run.

    Silencei2 that is one hell of a nice set up

    I'm thinking of building one of the AMD 6 core systems on the cheap due to the cost of the Intel Core i7's but do you think the i7's are that much better for gameing?
    Im kind of at a stand still till i decide on a CPU.
    All i do is game and surf the net.

    As far as gaming goes, you really don't need to go with more cores. A good quad or dual core will do fine as most games don't utilize all those cores very well.

    As far as AMD and Intel goes, if you're looking for a great budget gaming rig AMD takes the cake. I've been using Intel for the past 3 iterations of my computer. The last AMD processor I used was a x2 4400. Since then I have managed to get great deals on the processors from Intel which perpetuates my loyalty for them. I know plenty of gamers who have gone the AMD route and haven't been dissapointed.

    I'm still running a 4 year old Q6600 @ 3.2 ghz 8 Gig ram and a ATI 5850 in my game system and have not found a game i cant run decently even in surround gaming.

    But I'm getting that itch to build again.
    I haven't updated my CPU's in a while so i was wondering how AMD was working out for gaming.

    Back when i went with the Q6600 every one was saying you don't need a quad core for gaming but it worked out great in the long run.

    My wife would shank me if I posted a picture of my messy desk. I post most of my messages from my phone anyway.

    Is that because you can't find your keyboard?

    NICE wallpaper......

    Though, can't say the same for the case. I like the look of plain case. Such as or my server case.
    Yay! Cigars!

    man, that build completely blows mine out of the water!

    gigabyte ex58-ud3r mobo
    i7 920
    6GB ddr3 1333
    GeForce GTX 260

    all in an Antec 300 case, which i love. Subtle and sleek...

    3-4 years ago my current setup then was watercooled (good ol p4, aka the toaster) i loved it, cpu/vga/harddrive blocks and everything. It was great, up to the point where the pump literally caught on fire due to a short.
    I would love to turn my current build into a watercooled masterpiece, like this guy.



    definitely my next project...

    as soon as i clean my desk a bit ill put up some images of my computer.
