Hello, here is my system. It's about a three weeks old now and I couldn't be happier with my setup.
For the actual issue, go below the specs
Core i7 920 (Clock speed stock, memory overclocked to 1600, stock cooler) D0 Stepping (Whats that?)
Gigabyte GA- EX58 UD4P
OCZ Gold 1600 6gb Triple Channel
Diamond HD 4890 (Plan to add two more later)
Antec Nine Hundred
One SATA 7200RPM drive, one IDE DVD drive
My current issue is with my power supplies. I am using two 500 watt power supplies.
Power Supply #1: All of the fans, the DVD drive, the video card, and the motherboard power.
Power Supply #2: The 200mm fan, and the CPU power.
This seems to be holding up very good, although the current configuration is not exactly rock solid stable. It's frozen up a few times, but not enough to bother me. (Just about once per two weeks)
The only major setback is the temperatures I'm getting. This is almost unreal!
The two main sources of heat are the video card (which is expected) and power supply #1 which seems to be at it's peak.
What power supply would be best for my system? Remember it has to power at least one more 4890 with a lot of power left over.
Thanks
