Notes

I've always found the Silverstone Raven 03 case to be nice looking and a new way to look at what I call super computer design. The feature that sets it apart from other cases is the clockwise rotation of the motherboard mounting so that the back of the motherboard and all the installed cards is on the top of the case. This is for dissipation of heat. And it seems to work well. The Silverstone case also has 2 180MM fans on the bottom of the case with filters. This helps keep the cool air flowing from the bottom up. I chose the Intel 3770K for over clocking based on many positive reviews and I like the 1155 socket design. The GeForce GTX 670 4G was my choice for graphics power due to it's factory overclocked settings, the 4 gigs, and most of all, the fact that in SLI and Single mode, many tests/reviews indicate that you seem to be able to squeeze out some pretty impressive overclocking settings on air. And with water cooling, it goes up from there! UPDATE: I rounded it out with 16 Gigs of G-Skill Trident X 2400 memory and 2 Samsung SSD 840 series 120Gb drives running in Raid 0. All of this on the EVGA Z77 FTW Motherboard! Thanks for looking at my build! I take a lot of pride in my system. Please give a 1+ if you like it! UPDATE#2: Purchased couple more EVGA GTX 670's FTW 4G Version. Now running 3 way SLI. Back on the top ten list!!!! Look at me under EVGA Z77 MB 3D Mark 11 top Ten. My updated 3 way SLI pictures and system settings to come...... Don't forget the 1+ Thanks for looking at my 1ID10T rig!

Thanks for the 1+. The Printed Circuit Boards are the same. Same memory as well. The FTW is a higher binned chip aimed at overclockers, and comes with a higher stock GPU clock. No other differences that I know of. I've been running them(1 SC and 2 FTW all 4G)3way SLI now for a few weeks and doing some fierce overclocking. They seem to be doing better than I expected. Just take a look at my benchmark. It tells the story. I'm sure with one more FTW 4G I could eek out a bit more but I'm happy with my results. When I purchased the SC I was not looking ahead at what I would be doing with the machine. I originally built it to play FPS's. I'm now an OC enthusiast! THANKS EVGA!!!!!!
