Advise on tri screen setup rig

[angjds]

Im going to run 1-2 VMware win7/win server for my software/web development and at the same time running for pc for software/web development. Should be smooth right with 16GB RAM? My friend said hes using 32GB RAM for his work.

I happen to see the unlimited RAMDisk that the MSI mobo web. Does it helps with software/web compilation and gaming? I see some people saying its useless unless the com is going on for 24/7.

Im currently looking at AVEXIR RAM 16GB. Where can I get it cheaper?

Im maybe going down sls to take a look and get a quote later with my bro if hes going today to find some stuff.

Thanks

Saw the Corsair Graphite 760T like nice. Make me have a second thought on which casing to get.

Qnix monitor is here. I was like omg too big for my table.
Samsung Evo 840 250GB is going to reach in about 2 weeks time.
Avexir Gaming Dragon 16GB 1600Mhz CL9 will probably reach in about 2 weeks time i hope.



i5-4670K + MSI Z87 G45 Gaming - $547
GPU - MSI r9 290 Gaming BF4 - $688
WD Blue 1tb - $81
Samsung evo 250gb - S$189 [amazon]
Avexir Gaming Dragon CL9 2x8gb 1600mhz - $233
Samsung ODD - $25
750D - $259
H100i - $195
seasonic x850 (for xfire) - $235

Total: $2452

i burst my budget...need to loan $$$ first to get the rest of the item when the RAM and SSD arrive. Yet i still looking forward to get LED...Hais

Have been seeing people say the GPU gonna heat up to very high temp. Look up at NZXT Kraken G10 w/ water cooling but see some review that it only cool the chip, the ram/vram will still heat up till very high temp.

That budget is frm pc themes, if go tradepac n buy, can save ard $150+.... u can go lower by getting g45 instead of g45 gaming... killer lan wun help kill ur enemies in games de....

The 760T will b more ex than the 750d as its US rrp is higher than 750D

You can buy passive heatsink for VRM. Stick the heatsink on to the VRM using 3M thermal tape.

No point... still will overheat...

Passive heatsink + the cooler fan over there is even more effective than reference cooler. I tried that on my GTX680.

I hit 105C on it and it went for surgery... TS can take the risk and get G10 to try out.

Watercool lor.... vram nt the prob.. vrm then is the prob.

 

[angjds]

Oh. Then how to keep the vrm cool? I scared overheating the gpu.

Very very very difficult.

 

[royfrosty]

Very difficult. Not easy to cool it. Even with small heatsink used.

If thats the case the kraken G10 or stock msi twin frozr is better for vrm cooling?

Or are the any water block out there that cool all component of the gpu that support aio water cooler.

Watercool is watercool, aio is aio.. bo hybrid de.

Aio cooling. No.

Full custom water loop yes. Which is costly

A stock is better.

Can someone recommend me a blueray drive. My avexir ram just arrived earlier than expected.

 

[angjds]

The R9 290 the power connector is using the pci-e from the psu or the old sata power then the converter provided from the gpu? A bit considered.

Physical space issue?

get monitor mounts reduces the foot print of the tri Mon rig
..

Money problem?

Don't get tri Mon - you pay to be at the bleeding edge and you will end up lowering settings for future games...

I had 580sli in the past... best cards at that time and it lasted me 2 years only...

Last time I do tri Mon gaming rig... next time will stick to single screen. .. don't need to pay too much to stay "current"

Noted. I maybe will game only on 1 screen but will continue doing tri mon for work.

Took me 6 hours to assemble...phew...Need to do some cable management and get addition bottom intake fan. The stock case fan is it good enough? I see people changing their stock fan of casing and radiator to AF120/SP120.

Feel like getting some component with LED.
