The GT3 Technical Whitepapers are intended to be used as a guideline for users in their GT3 builds. We chose common configurations, consisting of higher end configurations, workstations, down to entry level configurations. Each whitepaper includes includes an exhaustive component list, each component linked to Newegg's product page, necessary system settings, and configuration details, including acoustic, thermal, performance, and power consumption data.

Currently we have three whitepapers, an Intel Core i7 Workstation configuration and two AMD Phenom II configurations. Each of these builds were carefully resarched, and painstakingly built, adressing details that often time require so much time and effort. You can utilize this work and build the exact configurations as specified in the whitepapers, or build off these configurations to customize your GT3 exactly how you want it.
