Bienvenido a los foros de Republic of Gamers, Fransn0w.

¿Como es que no decidiste poner un SSD en tu configuracion? Te aseguro que no te arrepentiras. Si fuera tu, compraria un SSD de 256GB de la marca Samsung o Intel. Con eso, tu sistema ya seria una bestia.

Entre el GTX Titan y el crossfire de HD7970, los dos HD7970 te saldrian mas baratos y te daran un mayor rendimiento que una GTX Titan. Lo unico malo de una configuracion crossfire es que de vez en cuando, te aparece eso del microstuttering. 😛

Vi que no pusiste una fuente de poder. Con tu configuracion, una fuente de poder de 850W de una marca confiable te bastara. Pero si piensas agregar mas tarjetas graficas en el futuro, te recomendaria que compres una fuente de 1000W o 1200W dependiendo de cuantas tarjetas graficas le vas a meter.

pues, la verdad no la he puesto porque es una tecnologia nueva y algo costosa, bueno es cierto es mejor, voy a agregarla a mi lista de compras, y bueno no puse la fuente de poder porque se me olvido colocarla en el post pero la que tengo pensada para ese sistema es una Corsair AX1200i, lo del microstuttering no me molesta mucho porque tampoco voy a forzar a las gpu de un solo golpe sino, que lo voy a ir
aumentando la demanda poco a poco, porque una GPU es como el motor de un carro, cuando esta nuevo, no le puedes meter un viaje de
500-900Km porque aun no esta acostumbrado, siempre he pensado que con las PC pasa lo mismo y sabras de algun Water block para las HD7970 DCII de asus que les quiero poner?, porque el EK que vi no me gusto mucho

2x Radeon HD7970s in CrossFire is a very strong setup... and less expensive than the Titan...

Can not see a PSU... - you need that to power up your system...

Using a 30 fins per inch radiator in a pc for everyday use isn't the best choice... you need very strong (high static pressure) fans for that and those will be really loud... - I would stay around 9-10 dpi... also, how many and what size radiators are you planning?

Fransn0w · ‎04-11-2013

im planning for a (1) 4x fan radiator and probably a (1) 20 fpi 3x fan radiator and the PSU is a Corsair AX1200i

7970 2x crossfire... cheaper and faster than one titan
and if you want to cool the whole system you probably need more than 1 radiator 😄
some SSD's for start-up
maybe some less RAM on higher speeds? 16gb on 2133mhz??

succes on your build!

Fransn0w · ‎04-11-2013

yeah thanks and less RAM no i think the same RAM (32gb) on higher speeds! you recommend me some brand and model?

OK, I assume that you want to say 4x- and 3x- 120mm radiators... - those should do the job...

I still think that 20 fpi is too much, but it's your choice... 🙂 What fans are you planning to use on those 20 fpi rads?

Fransn0w · ‎04-11-2013

The fans are the Corsair SP120 high perfomance high static pressure
