Now keep in mind this system is from 2008 and a work in progress, but I have changed the BIOS over to allow support for Quad Core Opterons and far more memory. This configuration has a ASUS L1N64SLI-WS with a WS/B BIOS, dual 2360 SE’s, 16Gb of DDR2 ECC RAM, a 240Gb SSD, a 2Tb hdd, 1Tb hdd, 2 500Gb hdd’s, ATI Radeon HD 4870 1Gb, Thermaltake VA8000 case and a Thermaltake 850 watt PSU.
Optimized my rack case gaming rig for airflow since I switched from the blower fan on the Vega to the open Raijintek Morpheus II. Got rid of most drives for that. Worked out great.

Still a work in progress, but it’s coming along nicely. That load driven PS fan is nice and seldom kicks on unless I try to render a Blender scene or something.
I can’t believe that I never showed the ‘Pay-it-Forward’ build that I did for an artist friend of mine earlier this year.

Because stock clocks and thermal convection for airflow are where I want to go. Next is to try and track down all the coil whine and eliminate it if possible.
Question, why put the CPU cooler with the vacume cone interrupted by the graphics card, not 90 degrees rotated so its blowing air towards the case rear?
Lol I wanted to do it that way… alas, the AM4 layout wouldn’t allow it without some Jerry-rigged nonsense (the way the bracket mounts, you can’t without a aftermarket kit). The only thing I could still do is turn it the other way. If you’ve got suggestions, I’m all ears.
