Post your gaming setup!

Sure is. I use the onboard NiC for virtual machines in VMWare Workstation.

Hey... That's a REALLY good idea, since VMware doesn't seem to like my Killer NIC.

Haha i need a nice comfy chair and a new desk. Im useing a chair from our kitchen lol

Any advice on that btw? I would kill for a new chair and I want something comfy but don't wanna kill myself budget wise.

You have a sandybridge but you have 3 sticks of ram. And wires everywhere!

Yeah, cause I'm special.

[sizzlinsauce]

He probably got a bad stick of ram, he can run it in tri channel ( maybe he accidentally got a triple channel kit too?) I had 8gb of ram, but 4gb of it is sitting in the package came dead. never returned em only $50 ram

[ispano]

No he can't run it in Triple Channel, Sandy Bridge only does Dual Channel. So with 3 sticks, he's actually using Single Channel.

currently at work, and i don't know off the top off my head what i'm running but here are the generals of my setup:

antec 900 gaming case
gigabyte mobo
intel quad core cpu
patriot 8gb ddr 2 ram
nvidia geforce 9800 gt
using a stock sony keyboard and mouse, nothing fancy - it gets the job done.

Case: Antec Nine-Hundred (1st-gen, ca. 2008. Cannibalized from my old machine.)

Motherboard: ASUS P8H67-M PRO/CSM (REV 3.0), Micro ATX Intel H67

Processor: Intel Sandy-Bridge Core i5-2500K, 3.3 gHZ (3.7 gHZ Turbo-Boost), w/ Zalman CNPS11X heatsink (I'm paranoid about overheating PCs after my ancient AMD-based computer nearly killed itself from overheating during the Summer months)

RAM / Memory: 2 x Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB DDR3 1333

Power Supply: Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750W (Thinking about going Crossfire in the near future.)

Video Card: ASUS EAH-6870 Radeon HD6870, 1 GB DDR5 memory (Crossfire-ready model)

Hard drive: Western Digital Caviar-Black, 1 TB

Media drive: HP BD-240I-H1 Blu-Ray reader, DVD Burner.

That's....quite sad, considering the colossal differences in temperature/architecture of Sandy Bridge compared to AMD (or any older-generation CPU really) and the fact that you have a CNPS11X....what's the point of having that kickass heatsink and a 2500K? You could easily get to 4.5ghz without breaking 65c at the highest.
You can atleast get to 4.1-4.2 without even touching the voltage, cmon man do it -_- it's as easy as typing in "42" in the multiplier box -_-

Depends on the AMD chip in question. Though the massive difference in max tolerable temperature would play a role.

This too, I heard some AMD chips had a 65-70c limit wtf??

I think it's about 68celcius for my 1090T. But that chip runs extremely cold considering it has 6 cores...

They have..... and then they got banned.

picturesss, especially with that pretty case

Will do. Currently troubleshooting some HDD issues so it's not assembled. This beautiful case isn't being used atm. :<

[DeltrusDisc]

Put it to use asap! Would love to see it!
