I found another part in the trash near home.

ASUS EN9800GT HB/HTDI/512M GeForce seems to be working!

Friend of mine sold me an almost new Asrock GM31-S R2.0 for 30$ and I will put on it a Core2 Duo 1.8gig 1066mhz 4M cache that I will overclock hopefully to 2.5gigs. (Also found in trash)

Setup will be powered by the power supply in post above and equipped by 2 X 2gigs of DDR2-800 Kingston.

Oh and forget to tell that the guy thrown also a stick still in packaging of G.Skill ripjaws X. F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL. DDR3-1600 4GIGS hehehe

Shot a "new" cooler. For just 1€ I got Israels top secret heatsink- technology >

and a quick peek @ "Colossus" >

486 with water/peltier, Voodoo 3 2000, SATA and (I'm working on it) 180 or 200MHz. At the moment its 160MHz, but that is no problem. Above 160 its getting harder

.

(yes, I know, the Molex-connector in the middle is not very pretty, and the cooler at the hdd-cage seems useless. I couldn't find my box with the tubes, and everything I got was 2 short tubes and a chipset- cooler

).

its not hardware so i dunno where i should put this one

floppy disk case :toast:

its from about 1994 when i was in junior high school

Ruru · Jun 24, 2014

Hooray, that HD2900GT seems to work when I finally tested it

I've always wanted any R600 card and now I want Pro/XT card too

MaxiPro800 · Jun 24, 2014

Back with 3 more BIOSes to work,and also a PC case in which the components are now stored.

First,BIOSes are:
1.AOpen AX4SG Max II - CSA LAN works,I'll include it in the new kit I am doing
2.AOpen AX4SG-UN - no difference from AX4SG-UL
3.iWill P4SE-Gold - this one is 256KB (I've got the 512KB version though,renamed into ZMAX-AP) but it works no matter what the LAN chip is.

Now,a pic of the case,and also a picture of the desktop.

Case:

Had to switch cases due to the 735's radiator. Assembly will likely be done this weekend. I'm going to test my three P4 3.4E and see which one overclocks better, after that I'll complete the loop.

Specs are going to be:
- P4 3.4E oced to whatever it can take
- Abit IC7-G
- 4GB muskin Redline PC4000
- Sapphire HD3850 AGP
- Cooler Master Gladiator 600 case
- Cooler Master Elite Power 460 + e-Power 450CD supplemental PSU ( http://www.epowertec.com/power_cd.html )
- WC loop: Bigwater 735 + Volcano 4005 + Aqua Brazing W2 GPU block
- 2x 160GB Barracudas in RAID0
- Windows 7 Pro x86

Loop will be done like this:
Reservoir -> Pump -> Radiator mounted on front with two Corsair SP120 fans -> Volcano 4005 with two blue led fans -> GPU block -> Reservoir
Coolant will be distilled water and I'll put a silver coil in the reservoir. Sounds good? :toast:

Not that this will be used much, is mainly to make use of spare parts I have lying around but it'll be impressive, I assure you. :peace:

Sounds like a sweet build. Those IC7s are damn nice.

Yeah I'll try to remember take few today

Ruru · Jun 27, 2014

Watching a movie right now but maybe after this I'll take and upload few pictures.

The iPhone 4's camera isn't perfect, but at least better than nothing.

Sold my old lovely GTX470 with 75 euros (including postal prices), I'm so damn broke right now that I had to sell it.

Damn, never had a single graphics card as long as that, almost 2½ years.

TRWOV · Jun 28, 2014

Goodamned Ninja 2 exerts so much pressure on 478 CPUs that the TIM forms a vacuum seal and the CPU gets stuck to the heatsink. Thankfully the pins aren't damaged but I'm weary of doing more testing... whatever, I have 2 spares, I'll run this one into the ground :nutkick:

TRWOV · Jun 28, 2014

leak testing for 24h:

Overclock on Sunday :peace:

Ruru · Jun 28, 2014

Sorry I didn't take pictures yesterday, probably because I was a little drunk.. :roll:

Exchanged the #2 and #3 rigs cases so the i3 is in Fujitsu case and P3-866 is in Nexus Prominent R.. Posting photos later.

Ruru · Jun 28, 2014

The P3 rig:

(yeah they are my legs, I was in a weird position

)

Posting photos of i3/2900GT machine soon. :toast:

And yes, that's my TV and under it are PS2 & NES. :toast:

i3/2900:

What's that CPU cooler, is it like a radiator or what? :eek:

I was pretty much going to ask that same question LOL.

I had bought it because I thought it was a heatsink. Have kept it for like 6 or so years.

I thought it would be perfect for the IC7-G build after I came across an open box Big Water 735 that had missing mounting hardware... the Volcano 40005 had its own so it wasn't a dealbreaker.

Current OC is 4.08Ghz (240x17) @ 1.43... what would be a safe upper limit? The board goes up to 1.8!!!!!! :eek:

stinger608 · Jun 29, 2014

Wow, that is a pretty cool CPU block. Never knew Tt built and sold that type of cooler.

TRWOV · Jun 29, 2014

BTW, in the event some of you might want to give it a try, don't mix it with the Bigwater SE. The Volcano is somewhat restrictive and the SE pump is rated for 70lt/hr. The 735's is rated for 400.
