Buy Gskill SNIPER F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 in Mumbai India
Unbelievable Price

Like I posted in the other thread, this is the right price.

The voltage is very low, so it can OC very well (use memory multiplier in P67/Z68), as JDEC standard is 1066 or 1333Mhz @1.5v for all memory modules.

Guys, Palit GTX 580 3 GB version is available in Techshop.in @ 32.23K. So I think we need to revise our 3D config a bit.

You can't oc them beyond 1700MHz even with extra voltage, these are low voltage htpc rams as said by gskill, not bad for stock systems, I am going to mumbai on friday for some work, I think I may get these from prime(if I have the time to visit them).

If you still wan't to stick with 1366 platform then do so but only for the radeon config i.e for te 6970's. Gtx 580 in a multigpu setup scales much better in the 1155 setup with the nf200 chip. Here, even 580 1.5 trisli scales much better than in a 1366 platform and is proved by HARDOCP. For some reasons, radeons don't benefit from the 1155 platform and perform similarly as they did in x58.

Small clarification for that. What it proved was tri-SLI is more CPU bound than Crossfire. It was not the matter of chipset out there, but the processor.

Had Hardocp used a CPU like i7-980X while doing their first review and then used i7-2600k, results would have been similar for SLI. Earlier what they had used was an OCed i7-920 @ ~3.6Ghz and in the second review they used i7-2600k @ ~4.8Ghz afaik.

So, if you are giving GTX 580 Tri-SLI in LGA 1366 with a processor like i7-980X or 990X which is again to be OCed by the user, you should be fine.

From $100 To $160: Five Z68-Based Boards, Compared : Almost Affordable

Anything over 310 mm 03 12.2" won't be supported as per Thermaltech. But you may face problem even when the card length is more than 11.6". The case might not be closed properly.

 

[aby geek]

well anyway i dont think ill buy a 33k case which i cant lift.
so what cards are below 11 inches cilus. the review link ico posted said 6990 and 590 will fit perfectly but not 5970.

^^ Your Config is excellent. But PSU Go For Corsair TX750 V2 For Future Sli.

 

[d3p]

^^ I'm bit against the speakers mentioned for a 70k budget config.

Possibly can get a Lian Li Lancool K58W @4.3k.

Is there anything wrong over Razer Cyclosa Bundle ??? & why Logitech MX518 ??

MX518 is already EOL & won't be available very soon. Gigabyte GM-M6800 Noble Black holds good otherwise Razer DA.

& 1+ to geek_with_lens : In order to be futureproof, you may require a powerful PSU to handle the future demands.

I am suggested that psu for that rig only.If any one going for sli can choose tx750 given in optional upgrade.
I am agaist any razer product, build quality is not that great.If mx518 becomes out of stock, then we can consider logitech G400(has 3500dpi) which is upgradation of mx518.
For cabinet 690II advanced or haf 912 advanced is very good and build quality is super.
@geek-tell any good speaker within 3k.

Price of G400?
1+ for 912 advanced...
For speakers, can u find a VS4121 in Kol?

 

[Deleted member 118788]

Edifier C2 Plus @ 3.5K
or as MegaMind Suggested VS4121 @ 3K if you can find it.

 

[Tenida]

@mega-G400-probably will be around 1.4k.
I have to search for that speaker.But any alternative for altec lancing.As you know rashi in kol. is not good.

Look at the Review of MSI Z68A-GD80(B3)
