khan008 here is a run down of what is good and bad with your build

[gurusan]

what the **** is it with everyone giving there negative comments..

i'd say it's just general noob hatin' and jealousy of the fact that you can afford it all

its not only that, i worked hard to afford it all! if anyone else saved up and bought stuff like that i would be happy for them.

that watercooling in your gaming build may struggle khan and why are you getting two more cheetahs I thought you were going to make your cad build also a storage build for your high def rips

i agree, the reserator 2 is not ideal for a quad core setup especially at 2.9ghz

 

[khan008]

I am....i have no idea why it says cheetah ill alter that. Thanks

and....my water system with struggle =0, what do you mean?

 

[khan008]

Salty, what do i do about my watercooling? my friend has the same one he says its fine?

Is he running a quad core at 3 ghz though?

 

[khan008]

probably overclock to higher than that

 

[saltynay]

because it is passively cooled and with that kind of set up you will probably want an actively cooled set up it will handle the 8800gtx's but after prolonged usage it may start to warm up so use speedfan to check temps occasionally

 

[gurusan]

A Reserator kit is just not going to dissipate the heat that 2 8800GTX's and an overclocked E6600 will produce. In fact I would imagine temps to be higher than the stock air cooler.

As for the CAD setup...the Reserator might work out but still it would not be my first choice.

The reserator was built with silence and looks in mind...not performance. And a setup like yours requires a watercooling setup that will perform!
