Rig 2.0

[asingh]

I had asked Sidewinder Computer for their WC kit. Worked out to ~12K shipped to India. The Apogee standard block.
Swiftech H20-220-APEX ULTIMA CPU Liquid Cooling Kit w/ Apogee XT

What actually happens once it reaches India. We need to go to the customs warehouse..?

 

[Extreme Gamer]

no.customs will get confused.you will need to send a technical writeup(via email) to your shipping company(i hope its not USPS).they will forward the document to customs.

in that document write down your name,tracking number and the contents of the shipment.customs will only then clear the goods.you will be charged 15-20% customs duty and brokerage fees.

I sure hope you did not use USPS for shipping.i hear they drop the goods at customs.otherwise you will have to directly go to customs.you might recieve a letter if you dont,and that can take a long time.

Another update: I asked the shop if they could get me the lightning models instead of twin frozr II.lets see...

EDIT:looks like its not launched here

Update: The mobo,CPU and PSU arrived.I am running m old 8800GT in it for now

PICS! PICS PICS!

Apparently i got these CDs from nvidia.why?They were not even inside the palit boxes.

*i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss213/aayushthegamer/Image085.jpg

these cards have capability for 2x8 pin.why did palit leave them out??

What do you think guys?
BTW i have a couple of pics that need uploading.i have to make a few more tweaks and then I will post the lot of the remaining pictures in this thread.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

Guys you must be wondering this thread was dead.

well it wasnt.

Notes:

1)The room walls are pink sadly.(Parents decided the colour.)
2)Will take dark shots tonight and upload them tomorrow.
3)Im a bad photographer

 

[nginx]

1) Yes your wall color sucks.
2) Nice looking cabby.
3) Nice water cooling system.
4) Are Palit cards good?
5) I need to get one of those comfy chairs.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

1)i know. posted it.
2)TY
3)TY
4)Yes
5)Cost ~14k lol (got it at steelco with discount- its my Mausa's shop)

 

[Mario]

Also,the 2600k is NOT the fastest processor in the planet.Its the fastest CONSUMER QUAD CORE processor in the planet.
The fastest CONSUMER processor in the planet is the core i7 990x.The fastest Processor is probably a 10 core LGA 1567 Xeon monster.

First ur setup is WOWEE

But couldnt help commenting on the quoted -

The fastest processor on the planet wont be a Xeon by a mile...

The 10 core 1567 Xeon u mentioned is probably the E7-8870 Westmere 32nm...a hyperthreaded core clock of 2.4 GHz with 30 mb cache...

The worlds fastest single CPU is widely acknowledged to be the IBM z196 - a mind-numbing 52000 mips @ 5.2 GHz...

Unfair comparison though, as the Z doesnt read x86 instructions!!

Too bad, we cant run Crysis Enthusiast 16AA or Metro '33 on it!!! hehehehe!!

 

[Extreme Gamer]

Thanks!

and you might be right...I wasnt aware of that processor lol.

 

[skeletor]

Unfair comparison though, as the Z doesnt read x86 instructions!!

lol, I'd run Debian on both of them - Xeon and z196. This would make a fair comparison.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

really?

what about architecture?

 

[skeletor]

yea. those are different architectures, but Debian is available for every architecture out there unlike Windows. So, if Debian benchmarks on X is faster than Debian on Y, we can conclude X is faster than Y.*

* still a vague comparison.

Lol!! I know for a fact that the Z runs/can run z/VSE, z/OS and z/VM (all IBM OSs as the names suggest)...

AFAIK, there is a Linux and Suse distro available for it... Not so sure Debian has a Z distro as well!! Anyways, if it cant run Crysis, it dont count

@ico : love that sig of urs!! Fox Rox!! Period.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

ico: what if other software on X is slower than other software on Y?

then Y is faster than X lol?

 

[skeletor]

See, what you would be running is proper integer or floating point benchmarks on a common operating system across both the architectures. The one which comes on top has more raw performance.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

the common operating systems must also be on same architecture to be fair.

console ports manage to take up todays PC resources but they dont look very good.

 

[skeletor]

Other softwares like? I mean, you can't run a x86 software on amd64 (backwards compatible with x86) and IA-64 (would require emulation) and then compare the performance.

@Extreme Gamer

Your rig is Awesome man, I really liked the Water Cooling Setup in it (EK Rocks in WC)...
Hey but why don't you add a colour in the loop (Red will look great)...
I recently purchased a Corsair H70 coz I thought I couldn't procure Custom WC parts here in India but hats off to you for buying EK....Now I know If I ever need any help regarding custom WC then I know whom to contact...

See, Debian runs on most architectures properly. Not at all to be confused with console ports and games.

Architectures are usually compared in FLOPS.
