BlueCube Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 First of all, cool system. But I just have a couple of questions: Why would you put the speed on the RAM down? Doesn't that reduce performance? I know computers semi-well and have built a system before, but why lower the RAM speed? 1600 MHz is blazing fast anyway and you probably won't notice a difference, but I was just wondering. Thanks :smile: Also, what's with the ridiculously high PSU lol? You could easily get away with a 750W on that system. Great build. Don't even ask about the PSU. The client wanted 1000W, so I put in 1000W lol. I recommended a 750W as well, but he wanted that 1KW. As for the RAM, the timings where just ridiculous at 2133MHz. I'm not an I.T professional by any means, but I know my way around Over Clocking, and the RAM just stuttered. They where at 7-7-10-28, or something like that. I purchased three 285 gtx cards. The antec 1200 will fit fine for me. You cant tell me you are water-cooling all three GPU's and the CPU in a SINGLE loop are you? That would be ridiculous. You are going to want a double loop for that, and its not practical to run two loops in a 1200. Just my two-cents :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you definitely won't notice any difference in performance going down to a more stable 1600MHz anyway. :razz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
