so this is a pretty cool shipment that arrived I've got an extreme AMD build
that I'm going to be working on For an upcoming launch that I can't really talk
about yet but I'm going to go over all the parts that are going to be in this
particular sort of best of AMD system so
first of all we're going to be housing everything in the Corsair graphite
series 600t case extreme air flow all of
the amenities for all of the hardware we're going to be using
very very very nice looking case great Cable Management I actually did an
unboxing a while back so you can check that out if you don't already know
everything there is to know about the 600t in terms of the motherboard we've
got pretty much the best of the best for AMD motherboards the Crosshair 4 formula
there is a Crosshair 4 extreme but it's debatable whether there is much benefit
to the extreme over the formula because the hydrologics chip does not contribute
a whole lot in my opinion
okay next we have the the radon
6870 and hopefully shortly I will have a
second 6870 to add in crossfire so that
we are truly getting the best of AMD in this configuration now remember even
though the 6870 is a little bit slower than the 5870 in some older titles as
games start to make more use of tessalation which is a very Advanced
direct X11 feature this one is going to really pull away from the the 5870 and
we're already seeing that all right in terms of power supply we have the ax850
which I did do an unboxing of a while back as well for that matter I did an
unboxing of the 6870 as well so this is a single rail high-end 80 plus gold
power supply it has a modular interface which means you only attach or detach
whichever cables you require efficiency is a huge story for this guy though at
115 Vol AC I mean you're looking at
basically above 88% efficiency no matter what you throw at it so very very very
impressive next of all we have let's see
what do we have got lots of cool stuff for this build I'm very excited oh yeah
we've got two sand Force Corsair 4
Series ssds and we're going to run these in raid zero for maximum performance so
that means we're going to have an 80 gig boot drive because remember when you run
in raid zero you get double the capacity double the performance but also double
the chance of data failure so make sure even if you are running ssds which are
very reliable that you are doing backups I've done an unboxing the four series
ssds as well which you can find on my blog we have a dominator airflow
fan which I believe I've also demonstrated in the past which we'll be
using on our Dominator GT memory modules now these are look awesome and they're
going to go really well with the Republic of Gamers theme of the build as
well as the red and black color scheme that we have going on the graphics cards
it's going to look really really sharp so we've got some Dominator GTS here
with the red tops and the red stickers on the side these are running at 1866
mahz C9 so that should be some pretty good memory performance
although yeah I don't think that's
um I forget where I was going with that okay we have the corser h70 to handle
the cooling we showcased the h70 in one of the NC PC builds we did very recently
it is a very high performance very impressive little cooler and I shouldn't
say little cuz the radiator on this thing is like thick thick and then you
got two fans and you run them in push pull you get great performance out of it
so we're going to show you all of this when we've got the build completed and
last but not least I have the CPU which we're not going to talk about so there
it is that is our best of AMD build that we're going to be doing over the next
little bit and also so as part of this teaser I'm telling you guys what I will
be doing with this Hardware is a build guide I've had yes endless requests for
a PC build guide so just in time for the
holiday season this year I will be doing a full how to build a PC guide around
this best of AMD system that is based on
AMD vision black so we're using all AMD vision black components don't forget to
