Ironkidz Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 So my faithful gtx 295's took the back seat to gtx 580's in SLI, and they served me well, but even their day has eclipsed. So with the arrival of the GTX 590's I decided to do a complete system overhaul. CPU, Water Cooling, RAM, Hard Drives, PSU, etc.... below are the new system specs and some pics of the tear down... Also please keep in mind that these pics were taken with my blackberry... so I apologize that they are not of the highest quality but it does the job! Things I Kept: Mobo - EVGA X58 Classified 759 Optical - LG Bluray Writer/Reader Case - Corsair Obsidian 800D (modified to fit a radiator at the bottom) Cooling - Fans and Koolance X58 MOBO Waterblock The New Stuff: CPU - i7 990X @ 4.2 ghz Ram - 12 GB (2x6) of Corsair Dominator GT 1866 Sound Card - Fatality Titanum Xfi Watercooling - 12 ft of Tygon Tubing, Koolance RP-452X2 Res/Pump Housing, 2x PMP 450 pumps, 1x XSPC Triple Rad and 1x XSPC Dual Rad, Swiftech Apogee XT, and OF COURSE IC Diamond Paste Power - Coolermaster 1200W Silent Power Gold Storage - 4x 128gb ******** M28 SSD's And finally, the crown jewels - 2x EVGA GTX 590 Classified HydroCopper cards ***UPDATE*** After running the system to bubble out and burn in. Here are my GPU Overclocking results using Afterburner (Voltage tuner doesnt support 590 voltage yet): Core Voltage (.925): 1.000 mV Core Clock (607 ref/630 classy): 775 Shader Clock: (1200 ref/1260 classy): 1550 MHz Memory Clock: (3414 ref/3456 classy): 4000 MHz Temps: 34c idle and 42c under full load.
