LBPN Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Interesting. I'm looking for a very similar setup. I'd really like to know how this CPU will deal with FSX. And what OC results you'll get on air cooling. Cheers, and don't forget to report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Manhart Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Looks great Iain! Spirit Flyer has a 930 Overclocked to 4.34 and with the GTX 470 he is getting great results! Check out his thread on the GTX 470 for his comparisons from the 275 to the 470. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Emms Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Looks good Iain! Whats the GPU though? Going to have to use my old 9800GX2 for a few weeks till more funds come in so wont really get the full benifit but will still be a good leap forward till then.cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyguy737 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 you read my mind Iain that's where I am going too very very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit Flyer_old Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hey Iain, More power to you man! Those are good choices. I can vouch that the i7 930 is a whiz kid that seems to thrive on speed. The Prolimatech Megahalems (Rev. is like a gorgeous piece of working art. I have two blue led fans attached to it that make it glisten and shimmer while keeping the cpu well below 70c with even the most severe fsx loads. You will have such fun out of the sun on your computer that you won't even know when summer arrives! Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Emms Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Yes a 480GTX is on the list will have to wait though about eight weeks for more funds im going to run the i7 on a Thermaltake Liquid cooling system with High performance 120 x 240 mm Racing Level Radiator so should keep it cool enough. cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
