I have the following parts :

Maximus V Extreme Duall 1600, 7.1 Audio, GB Lan, WiFi, BT4.0, Thunderbolt, CrossFireX / 4-Way SLI
NZXT Switch 810 Full ATX Window Steel Case 4X5.25 6X3.5 2XUSB3.0 Audio and Mic Input
G.SKILL TridentX F3-2400C10D-8GTX 2X4GB DDR3-2400 CL10 240PIN 1.65V Dual 19200
HD7950 DirectCU II v2 Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 PCI-E w/ Dual DVI, HDMI, DP
HD7950 DirectCU II v2 Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 PCI-E w/ Dual DVI, HDMI, DP
Intel Core i7-3770K Quad-Core (BX80637I73770K) Processor CPU
Asus BW-12B1ST 12x Blu-Ray Writer, SATA, Black, Retail
Enthusiast Series TX950 Power Supply 80Plus Bronze
Crucial M500 Solid State Drive SATA III, 240GB
ASUS Maximus Formula Green Sound Card
Windows 8 Professionnel
30gr. Thermal paste

For cooling I bought the Zalman LQ-310 CPU Liquid Cooler but my case can fits a tripple fans cooler but I don't know any brand do you? Could air cooling be enought you can put 7 fans in the 810?

Ialso need a kit for static is a wrist static enought? Last I need 3 gorgious fans to put on top of the 810.

I had a couples of changes during the build :

I5 for I7
7970 for 7950
G.Skill Ripjaws for Tridents
Intel 330 SSD 180GB for 240GB Crucial 50

I will sell them or built my htpc.

Thanks for your suggestions.
 
Solution
Not entirely true. Some games do take advantage of Hyperthreading, so the I7 would perform better. Not many do though, although it could benefit you more in the future(remains to be seen). Faster Ram isn't useless, just not worth paying an extreme price premium over. No, it doesn't void your warranty. If it runs at that speed in the XMP profile, you are just fine. I wouldn't have gone with a crossfire setup of 7950's, but not a horrible choice considering their performance vs. price. I agree that you could have bought a better Psu, but yours isn't crap. Tier 2 quality, so it's a good build, just better choices out there. You should have bought a better cooler if you were spending that much money on the build, true.

1- For cooling I bought the Zalman LQ-310 CPU Liquid Cooler but my case can fits a tripple fans cooler but I don't know any brand do you?

2-Could air cooling be enought you can put 7 fans in the 810? The Havik 140 looks very good compair to the Zalman Q-310

3- I also need a kit for static is a wrist static enought?

4-Last I need 3 gorgious fans to put on top of the 810 any good suggestions for red 140mm led ?

thanks
 
problems with your build

-the Maximus 5 extreme is the dumbest purchase for a motherboard you can get on the z77 platform. not only does it perform the same as a 100 dollar board, you will never use the plx chip because 3way cfx is useless in terms of scaling
-fast ram is useless. voided warranty and wasted 100 dollars
-get a better GPU setup
-the i7 didnt increase your gaming performance and never will
-why in the world would you buy such a high wattage psu that is both unneeded and a waste of time since its non-modular
-there are cheaper SSDs that perform the same
-what the heck is a green sound card?
-wasted money on thermal paste. stock stuff is more than enough and 30g is ridiculous in that it will last at least 10 builds, which you arent doing therefore wasted money as thermal paste dries up
-you dont need extra fans. its just stupid
-you dont need a wrist-strap if you ground yourself by touching the case side panel (or metal object because the 810 is full of cheap plastic)

Solution
even if they take advantage of hyperthreading, you are better off spending that cash on a better GPU which i can tell you for sure makes a bigger difference.

it is useless. it barely increases performance and the premiums are just ridiculous. and yes it does void your warranty. intel specifies that you shouldnt be running ram above 1.575v. anything above that is no warranty. you can buy their overclocking warranty if you want to run useless ram modules, but thats just extra unneeded expenses

the tx 950w isnt anywhere near crap. its decent, just that its stupid not to go modular given the wattage

If the ram is not appropriate I have 8GB of Ripjaws.
The green card is only an addition for FX audio on the motherboard. I wont install it.
Let's say money is not a factor fans give another look to your system.
I'm looking for a tripple fan cooler, any suggestions?

I will put the zalman in my htpc system give me your suggestion for my ROG ...
I will put my PS, ram an extra stuff on eBay give me your suggestion for one good PS
I'm keeping the Motherboard.

thanks
 


-dont even bother with the tridents in the first place. use the ripjaws
-dont even bother with a ROG board.
-it doesnt matter if money isnt a problem. its a waste of time when throwing money to the rig does nothing

there is nothing wrong with the rig in terms of quality, but in terms of functionaloty, its a total waste of time
 
Ya know, that motherboard supports plenty of 1.65v Ram that runs at 2400mhz, I'd just keep it. I can't imagine a motherboard manufacturer supporting a product that would void the warranty of the Cpu, and I've never seen hard evidence from Intel that states that it voids the warranty. If it runs in the XMP profile, I'd say you are fine. Good call on getting a new cooler though.

Keep the Power Supply too. Whatever you get on ebay isn't going to cover the new cost of a Psu(would you buy a used PSU?), so you might as well use it. The quality is great, it's just there were better options when you bought it.
 
it supports it because they have tested it and it ran fine. it doesnt say anything about intel warranting it. the only reason a motherboard company allows their products to run those ram speeds or overclock is because it increases performance and brings up their brand name.
