Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Alright guys... this is what I'm currently thinking of ordering. If there aren't any objections I'll probably go for it.

Good choices for the most part and good advice from filosofem and guitardom. I've used the Giga X58A motherboard on many builds, one just last week. I do have some of my own $0.02 for ya PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151096 IMO better and slightly cheaper CPU cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835103099 for about the same price its a better performer and quieter option or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835608014 if you want to spend a few $ more. This is a top cooler. For a case there are tons of valid options. Antec still my favorite mostly for their build quality and silent operation. Solo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129018 or P280 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129179 Lian lee or Fractal Design are also valid choices http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112351 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811352015 I will will never go near a Raidmax or Termaltake and the likes (recently got rid of a Coolermaster 690 that was about 2 years old and looked like its was 10) that thin metal, poor construction quality, bright colors and flimsy plastic parts are just not up to par. A better case will not only last longer and look better but also run quieter, cooler and cleaner (with decent removable filters rubber mounts etc.) Happy building and a Happy new year

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Whatever power supply you go with, make sure that the 12V rail is at least 20 amps(split) or over 50 amps(single). My i7 950 can pull 18 amps at full tilt, so you don't want to starve it, which may have been an issue on my 950 system on the Gigabyte mobo as the old PSU was split rails at 16 amps(expect the 960 to pull a tad more). Now running a Corsair 700 watt(54 amp 12V single rail) and its working pretty damn nice(Dverb2 count went over 500). Able to pull almost 300 Dverbs at the 64 buffer

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Thanks, mano111 and albee1952. I think I will definitely upgrade the case to the Antec Solo and probably go with the newer heat sink and different power supply. Does the Sea Sonic meet up with what you were saying, albee1952? I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject...

http://www.seasonicusa.com/S12II-Bronze.htm The S12 II 620 delivers 48 Amps on the 12V rail (576W). This should be more than enough to power the proposed system. I estimate up to ~250W at full synthetic load and a typical mix session should draw no more than 150-200W. Still plenty of headroom for OC and what not...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Cool, man. Thanks for finding that out for me. I feel pretty good about all of my current part selections, so I think I'll probably order tonight. I'm going to switch to the Antec P280. The solo just was not very attractive in my opinion, though it was cheaper...
I'm kind of a sucker for pretty lights and windows, so I kinda dig these cases too: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129021 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129066 I imagine they wouldn't run as quietly as the P280 though, so I guess I'll probably still go with it. |

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Will do! Parts are ordered and should ship soon! What version of Windows 7 is preferrable? I think I read home premium somewhere... Also, do you guys recommend doing all of the Pro Tools optimizations that the Avid website recommends? I think one of them might be part of the reason why my laptop is fried now, so I was wondering...
