Airflow Design
- More fan´s go in the case than out produced an over pressure in the case to prevent dust.
- Using Push->Pull with 2 fan´s for the radiator to maximize the cooling.
Comments
- I updated from an E8400 an the i7 is really really awesome
- I am searching for an very silent new Gaming Machine so i choice a Mini-Watercooler(i can´t find the Alpeföhn Wasser CPU-Cooler outside from Germany but it´s similar to the Corsair H60) and it´s really nice for overclocking.
- I think 8GB of RAM is enough for gaming and encoding videos.
- At the moment i use my old GTX470 but this video card is really loud i change it next month to an MSI Geforce GTX 660 Twin Frozr III(should be very quiet)
- I also used an blanket insulator Kit for the Shinobi.
- The System makes the noise from an Fan in an TV nearly imperceptible.
Installation Notes
- Ejected the GTX470 for install can´t get to the installer with the card added
- I update to the latest Gigabyte BIOS version from the Gigabyte Website
- Go to the Bios and load optimized settings
- Change your hard drive mode to AHCI
- Save and exit
- Install your system with the Unibeast USB driveInstall Mountain Lion with Unibeast
MultiBeast Configuration for Mountain Lion
Post Installation Notes
- Update the complete system an reinstall the Audio and etc.
- Check everything is working.
- When all is running i started creating the Fusion Drive between the 64GB Vertex 3 and the Samsung Spinpoint F3 1,5TB
with this Guide Creating a Fusion Drive. - Then cloned the system to the Fusion Drive.
- Ejected the temporary added HDD.
- Installed Windows 8 to the Samsung SSD (a Horrible System but faster than Windows 7 and only for gaming).
- The 1TB Samsung HDD is Data Storage for Windows.
First Look an Feel
- I tested the Airplay Mirroring an it works nice (cant´t get it to work with the GTX470 added)
- Tested some Games with the HD4000 (for Diablo3, Starcraft2 HOTS, and World of Warcraft enough power at middle setting avarage 40-50FPS )
- Started to OC at the end the standard clock is 4GHZ and the Turbo Clock ends at 4,3GHZ and 4,4GHZ for 2 cores. Simply change the multiplier in the BIOS (advanced overlocking guides please search at google )
- Added the GTX470 and run some Benchmarks
Benchmarks
