Custom Gaming PC Build 2011 w/ i5 2500K @5GHz
Here is a little video showing off my most recent Sandy bridge build. I got the parts over a few weeks and it came together pretty well. I’m happy with it for now, my next build will hopefully be a dual socket set up.

holy shit
How much money did u spend on it?
Cheers
you dont want your cpu above 70 degrees celcius just sayin
@xRougeGamingx You don’t know what you are talking about, just saying.
temps too high, kick back to 4.5 ghz and lower voltage by .1.
@ZbKiT ~$1300 US
@waiiatwi Nope, you are looking at core temp. Core temp is good till ~93C till the CPU starts to throttle.
@SeanWebsterHD
Getting a PC like yours, here in Argentina, would cost more than US$2200. Damn it.
@SeanWebsterHD your a dumbass do you want to fry your cpu mine is oc to 4ghz and runs at 50c at full load because i dont want to fuck mycpu
@xRougeGamingx Nope, apparently you have no idea what you are talking about and are the “dumbass.” The Tcase is 73C, that is not the core temp. The max core temp before the CPU will throttle is ~93C, even then the throttling it to keep it from damage. In teh video above you will see the core temps, the Tcase temp was fine and below the 73C. You can do whatever you like with your chip and I know what I can do with mine. Btw. vCore is more influential to CPU degradation than temp.
@xRougeGamingx The entirety of overclock net disagrees with you.
what was the original cpu clock speed?
10 points for tidyness. That case is kinda nice. but i dont know why your roasting it for 8 hours.. just overclock as much as u can untill ur games start bailing and be happy.
@1982labman I do a lot more than gaming. I need the stability of a good O.C.
Are you running your video card in the PCIE 2.0 slot and have you had any issues with backwards computability as others have?
@byPez What issues? And where else would the card be plugged in? lol
can i use gigabyte z68x-ud3-b with intel core i3 2100 and later upgrade to 2600k or 2500k?
@buzz9961 Yep.
@matterlord2 I5 2500k’s are 3.3Ghz, i have mine running at 4.5Ghz 24/7
Why Pro edition of Windows 7? And why 2x1TB of HDD. Isn’t that kinda an overkill??
@MariusHTX I have Windows 7 Pro b/c I got it for free from my university and it has a few extra features over Home edition that I use and like. And for the drives, how is 2TB overkill? I do a lot of video and photo editing and need the space. I have a server with 12TB that is filling up fast that I need to expand upon and add more drives soon.
@MariusHTX
Is it ever really overkill? No!
Nice PC man!!
Hey forget my other qs it was in regards to something else. How is your cpu running at 100% constant because even when I overclocked mine its jumping around usage, another thing is I have had severe stutter/micro stutter in all my games, mafia 2, battlefield 3, witcher 2. Would you know what might be causing this? I get a min fps of 60 in all games.
@byPez That is just most likely screen tear from FPS fluctuation. Just turn on vsync and you should not have that anymore.
