High end, Overclocked, watercooled 4.2GHz i7 PC 1T+320GB HDD ATI HD 6950 graphics card, lit up case .

I used this a hobby PC and for editing but after I bought a Macbook Pro I barely use it now and all components have had very little use. It is built with the best parts and is as quiet as possible. It looks gorgeous up and running as is about as quiet as you can get for the cooling capacity. Even with all the fans cranked up you just get a whooshing sound from the air. PLEASE NOTE: This a high-end overclocked water-cooled PC. It is really for the enthusiast and not for those who know very little about computers, as it may involve knowing how to use the BIOS and what overclocking entails. However, it is still a very stable and reliable platform. The highlights - Super quiet - Super fast Intel i7 920 DO stepping 2.66 GHz Quad Core CPU Lapped (OC to 4.2Ghz stable) Socket 1366 Gigabyte EX58-UD3R mother board 6GB Patriot Viper DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800 3x2GB memory (8-8-8-24) MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III ATI GFX card - Power Edition Enermax Liberty 620W modular PSU Swiftech Apogee XT CPU water block Gigabyte Aurora 570 aluminium chassis Magicool Slim 420mm Triple 140mm Radiator 1GB SATA II Seagate HDD + 320GB SATA II Maxtor HDD The Motherboard/CPU/RAM Bundle 4.2GHz · Intel i7 920 DO stepping 2.66 GHz Quad Core CPU Lapped (OC to 4.2Ghz stable) Socket 1366 · Gigabyte EX58-UD3R mother board with Thermalright HR-09U MOSFET heat pipe cooler (modified to fit this board). This is for if water-cooling is used on the North Bridge, otherwise the standard heat pipe system can be remounted. – Latest BIOS · 6GB Patriot Viper DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800 3x2GB memory This killer combo clocks to 4.2GHz easily. I had it at 4.5G for stable 20 mins using the same settings and I always meant to try some more tweaking to get it stable but never got around to it, so I would guess that higher than 4.2G is achievable. The RAM OC’s higher. At 4.2G it is running at its nominal 1600MHz but at 8-8-8-24 instead of the rated 9-9-9-24 The CPU and Swiftech Apogee XT CPU cooler are lapped and are set up without the mainboard CPU clamp. The standard clamp distorts the CPU cover and even after lapping it is impossible to get them to mate flat. I found that by removing the clamp and using the CPU water block to clamp everything up CPU core temp dropped by a massive 12C! (The clamp is included if you want to refit it for std operation) 3/8” Water-cooling System · Swiftech Apogee XT CPU water block i7 Socket 1366 · Enzotech SNBW-SLI North bridge water block, Sapphire series · 12V Laing DDC-1T Pro 10W with Alphacool Plexi Top mounted on “GelStuff” vibration damper · XSPC Single Bay transparent Reservoir · Modified for hi flow ThermalTake flow meter. I stripped out all the plastic restricting the flow (which, of course typical of TT, there was loads) and rethreaded the ends for 3/8” barbs · 3/8” x5/8” OD tubing. Can’t remember the make but it is one of the best. Very flexible with no logo and does not stain · Thermochill cooling fluid mixed clear/UV green 50/50, this gives the look of plasma flowing through the tubes under UV light – nearly 1l spare · 3/8” hi-flow chrome fittings and spring clips all round · A variety of 90˚ bends, clamps and bits of extra tubing spare, CU MOSFET coolers etc Monster cooling tower- keeps temps down without rising above a whisper · Magicool Slim 420mm Triple 140mm Radiator : MC-RADI420, mounted on rubber feet · 3 x 140mm NoiseBlocker XK2 Ultra quiet fans + 4 fan black wiring loom mounted with silicone washers and chrome hex bolts · 3 x Phobia Transparent fan shrouds with 6 deep blue LED light on a blac
