For all those who have been living under a rock for the last month, in tribute to MKMods who recently passed away some UK members have been organsing a tribute build in his name to donate to a family/persons less well off than ourselves.

The build is currently underway and so far the generous folk at TPU have donated a Coolermaster Elite 430 case, OCZ PSU, Q6600, ROG Gene II, RAM, 8400GS, 300gb HDD, DVD-RW and a logitech mx600 mouse

We are really in need of a 775 cooler for the Q6600 desperately!!!

also if anyone has a spare keyboard, better GPU? that would be nice and anything else you guys can think of to add to the build would be great if you can donate anything.

If you can, PM me with details. :toast:

I could possibly have a OCZ Vendetta 2 up for grabs. where and when depends where the cheque from HM revenue comes in.

Sorry to keep you on the edge like that, but i have no idea when. could be next week, could be the week after next week. who knows.

as for GPU I currently have a crappy gigabyte 7800GT lying around. Its not exactly mine but i dont think the guy i got it from wants it as he already has my 8800GTS, 4870 & one of my 5850s. He tried to sell it to CEX but them assholes rejected it saying the fan was too loud.

and it is loud. but ive given the bearing some 3in1 but its still loud. its as loud as the day it was made.

SCAN has listed the 2500k as quad core lol

I was going to say something before. This is like the 750/760, it's a true quad core m8

Nice chip too I'm waiting for the 22nm version though

Wowsers OCV vendetta, I would keep that sucker, but hey if you do, that would be really really generous and you win a lifetime supply of cookies

Wonder if that 7800gt would be better than the 8400GS and if I could maybe make it passive?

FreedomEclipse · May 5, 2011

crap. I always thought a 2500k was a dual core + 2 hyper threads.

now go and stand in the corner and think about what you have done!!

FreedomEclipse · May 5, 2011

hmmm, shall I save money and just get the standard p8p67 board or pay £20 for more the 'pro' version?

unless you get more pci-e lanes or something then don't bother, no point paying extra for a nuclear heatsink or whatever they try and sell you with that particular boards "deluxe" version

scaminatrix · May 5, 2011

Standard. It looks like the only differences are:
e-sata,
the q-shield
and a USB 3.0 PCI plate.

Standard:

Pro:

FreedomEclipse · May 5, 2011

heres what i ripped off another forum

With the Pro you gain:

* one more PCIe 2.0 x16 slot for a total of 3 x PCIe 2.0 x16 slots
* Support for NVIDIA SLI Technology including 1 x ASUS SLI bridge connector
* JMicron JMB362 SATA controller for 2 x External SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports
* Intel 82579 Gigabit LAN (instead of the Realtek 8111E Gigabit LAN on the non-PRO)
* ASUS Q-Shield
* ASUS Q-LED (CPU, DRAM, VGA, Boot Device LED) (the non-PRO only has an LED for the DRAM)

Im sold!! I can buy back my old 8800GTS (g92) and have crossfire and be running physX at the same time!!

Looks like the Deluxe supports Xfire & SLI.

EDIT: FreedomEclipse beat me to it :slap:

Missed that one. D'oh!

Delux ftw

FreedomEclipse · May 5, 2011

yeah, Im gonna need to get the pro version as i run crossfire. otherwise id be stuck at 16x|4x.

phew, glad i havent put in an order yet

MightyMission · May 5, 2011

im not sure how important frames per second are to you against price paid but here is a bench someone done to clarify the reality of using x16/x16 against x16/x4.
http://www.overclock.net/nvidia/819348-16x-16x-vs-16x-4x-gtx.html

FreedomEclipse · May 5, 2011

you know what...Im just gonna go for the Deluxe version.

and yeah..... i just found out that it doesnt do 16x|16x with dual graphics cards but more 8x|8x like the rest of them..

MightyMission · May 5, 2011

Even so the 2500 will give more frames as its a far better architecture than the older quads.
I can't get over how cheap they are given its brand new tech and they can easily see 5ghz+ 24/7 without crazy cooling!
even DDR3 isnt that expensive,makes me wonder why i am hunting out the fastest DDR2 when i could get faster DDR3 AND an am3+ capable mobo for the same price

scaminatrix · May 5, 2011

DDR3's cheaper than DDR2 yea. £30 for 4GB XMS3-1333 new. Damn lol

MightyMission · May 5, 2011

You know!
i see 2133 ddr3 for less than 1200 ddr2 gahh i thought i was being smart buying a ddr2 board last year :rolleyes:

scaminatrix · May 5, 2011

T'was expensive last year. I paid £140 for 4GB OCZ Reaper HPC 1600 C7. Can't even seem to get £50 for it now!!!

selling on tech seams to be a lost cause now, just use it for keyrings/hang it on a wall

buying old tech however is awesome, i've decided to only buy parts from tpu or on a very large speical offer as its just better
