Well I'm excited, I'm pretty sure this will run my 5 accounts and raid really well. What do you guys think?

Pretty badass for sure!

24G of RAM, jesus, that is a bit overkill

I have 12G and I can run 10x WoWs + photoshop + Crysis 2 + stream to JTV and still have 4G to spare!

Just curious, are there any games that will use 3GB of RAM on the GPU you got?

Also, definitely post some pictures of the whole set up, esp. the liquid cooling. I'm definitely excited to see that sucker!

nice, i like

24GB of ram allows you to multibox a couple copies of minecraft

... just sayin

Tim · 09-23-2011, 10:06 PM

Minecraft uses that much RAM, really? I would have guessed maybe 100M since the graphics are pretty low.

eDIT: I just opened up a whole directory of .PSD images in Photoshop. RAM climbed from 1.2G in use to 10G in use... then Photoshop crashed

Lostwalker · 09-26-2011, 10:45 AM

Thanks guys. I hope the stuff gets here today. *crosses fingers*

I do have a question about the hard drive setup.

For the SSD should I only install WoW on it and windows on the normal hard drive or both on the SSD? The SSD is on 80gig.

Also, do you guys think that a modom has any affect on FPS? Asking due to the fact that mine is a old motorola sb5100

Tim · 09-26-2011, 12:10 PM

I would put windows on a normal HD and just your games on their own SSD.

Lostwalker · 09-26-2011, 02:34 PM

okay great, that was how it did it with the old computer.

Tim · 09-26-2011, 03:50 PM

I do have a laptop with a SSD hard drive for everything and that has been going pretty good.

The only bad part about the main OS being a SSD is that it gets worn out real fast. A normal hard drive could do 100 million or more read/write cycles. A SSD might do 100k. That is a big difference, and having your OS HD crash really sucks

Lostwalker · 09-28-2011, 08:39 AM

Well everything came in yesterday. The liquid cooling looks and works really well. The install was really easy as well, thanks mostly to youtube.

A bad note is that the ram will not work with my board, so I ordered some new ram today and it should be here tomorrow.
