aight same tests and stock clocks on cpu Crule just built a comp with a new proc thats why i said to re-test it with the new hardware. if you can test in 1920x1080You should really be running the same version of Heaven if you want to compare, you're both running old versions. Current version is 3.0
Secondly, C_Rule benched with his Q9505 so kinda makes comparing moot since you're running an i7 2700K. Having said that I've got an i7 2700K so I did a run of Heaven for you to compare to.
I'm running my 2700K at my 24/7 OC of 4.6GHz (can't be bothered rebooting and changing settings in UEFI) but I downclocked the GPU to the stock OC which is 1058/1502.

I hate waiting...:(
New GPU and some other stuff arrived today, so I thought I'd do a quick comparison.
Nearly 100% improvement over an overclocked 460, shweeeet.
More pics when everything gets here.

7950 xfx @1200 core/1650 mem. when/if you decide to overclock that 670 can you post your results for 3dmark 11 and heaven? also can you post em at 1920x1080. I'm wondering where the ceiling is for that card. I'm gonna try and hit 1300 core/1750 mem, because more and more its looking like the amd cards have a hidden talent. I have a friend that has a 7970 @ 1400core/1800mem on 1.3v which is within safe operating voltage but I dont see alot of people posting the nvidia overclocks. P.S this post is not for starting a fanboy flame war. if you like nvidia great if you like amd great lets leave it at that. 2 670s dont equal 4 gigs of ram, it doesnt work that way. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/sli/faq#c26. Nice rig btw!!!Alright, after many months of waiting I finally built my new PC. Here it is...
Specs:
- I7 3770k @ 4.2 GHz
- 2x EVGA GTX 570 1.2gb in SLI
- 16gb GSkill DDR3 1600 RAM
- Asus Maximus V Gene motherboard
- 128gb Crucial M4 SSD
- 750gb Seagate XT
- 1TB 7200 Samsung HDD
- Blu-Ray drive
- Rosewill Thor V2 Case (love it)
I've got it all set up to 3x 23" 1080p monitors.
Speccy:
CPU-Z:
Insides:
Cable Managment (it's a bit messier now, this was before I installed the 3rd drive):
Case:
Desk:
Night (I need a better camera, I strung up lights behind the whole desk, you can kind of see them):
Gaming with the monitors:
Not gaming:
Desktop:
Benchmarks:
3D Mark06:
3D Vantage:
3D Mark11:
The whole 3 monitor thing is pretty neat. I would like to upgrade the GPU to either a single GTX 690 or 2x GTX 670 4gs so I can have the 4 gigs of vRAM I need for the high resolution gaming.

Pic from leak testing. It passed the 24 hour leak test. I'll have finished shots in a few I hope you won't be using purple coolant and so much tubing when this is finished? nope I just 24 hour tested it to take it all apart and bought a 10 dollar bottle of feser1 purple for fun after I'm done draining it all out that bottle is just gonna sit in my closet. Of course its gonna stay purple and yes the loops are staying its way less drag on the pump to use loops then it is to go to 90 and 45 degree fittings. 
new z77 asrock, decided to give em a try, was gonna go msi but this board came with alot of reccomendations. That silver beast is Danger Den's new cpu block and a little ssd love to top it off. Your probably wondering why thats a 2700k and not a 3770k, well it seems intel slipped a mickey into the third gen i7s in the form of changing out the tried and true tim with some thermal grease and the new 3770s are running quite a bit hotter then they should be, it's still a great processor that 3770 but I got a 7950 going in the same loop as the cpu and I think I can hit 5.1 or 5.2 if this chip aint a dud. 
Lian li, absolutely the best no ands ifs or buts about it. 
Now I'm just waiting on the rest of the watercooling setup to get here. It's scheduled to be here by friday, I probably still can't get to cutting on this thing till the weekend though. I'm so swamped with school work if I get this thing even close to done by mon I'll be a happy meng Glad to see another Lian LI fan. I absolutely loooooooooove their cases. No frills, no silly lights, clean, light and brilliant designs. Building in my current Lian Li was a dream. Yeah theres just something about the clean simple look. Thanks it always nice to run into another person with good taste!!
