Awesome price/performance ratio on that PC. Those old hexa core Xeons are still crazy good at rendering.Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable with those 1,4 Volts. Anyways, I'm curious about your CPU temps & single core score in Cinebench (File/Advanced benchmark).A nice looking and fitted worktop would make a great desk in your space imo.
Solid build btw, was the red/black/silver colour scheme intentional or did it just sort of happen?
Unfortunate to hear about your previous build. I guess those 1.4 V were a lil too much in the long term. We all love the good smell of troubleshooting That new system would be pretty beefy for the money. The GPU market is a joke currently tho. The 970's chip still holds up very well, but the memory can certainly become an issue. The GTX 970 (4 GB), RX 470 (8GB) & RX 480 (8GB) I had are roughly performing in the same region and the memory made a noticable difference. The average FPS weren't much apart, but the additional VRAM on the RX ones had the FPS dip way less (=smoother overall) in some circumstances.Some guy was offering Sapphire's HD 6950 (2GB) custom including shipping for 15 € on ebay-kleinanzeigen (GER classified ads site), cuz he couldn't test it's functionality. I took the risk and it paid off. It works just fine, so I cleaned it, applied new paste and flashed it to a 6970. Additional overclocking crashes the system tho. In combination with the CPU, which indeed has a TDP of 120 W, it draws just too much - the PSU just can't handle it. Will try to get a better PSU soon'ish to get this thing done. I did the mod the other way round - modded the 771 CPU (pin sticker & milled notches), not the 775 socket.I calibrated my main monitor again recently and I'll build myself a monitor hood based on KAPA boards soon, cuz I couldn't find a reasonably priced one for 29" and 21:9. Well yea, I love deep blacks
So what build you are currently using now ruschi? It seems you have a bunch of components Also I have an I3 6100 cpu with gtx 950 but this christmas Im still confuse what to buy/upgrade the i3 6100 to i5 6th gen or upgrade my gtx 950 to gtx 1060
