Mods:
Removed hard drive/floppy cages. Hard drive cooling in roof. Painted case (needs re-doing). Cable management. Custom made subwoofer.

Iv had this rig for a while, but keep updating parts every now and then and its doing fine. Next bit would be an overhaul of the CPU, motherboard and RAM. Plus maybe a new case.

How is the radeon on PCI-Ex 1.1?

selway89 · Oct 8, 2009

I would drill some holes but that will have to wait till xmas when im back at home and i have the equipment (at uni atm).

If i can get a seriously cheap quad that is compatible with my board then i will upgrade it

Also PCI-e 1.1 16X should perform on the same level as PCI-e 2.0 8X; at least thats what I think. I havent had chance really to test it properly.

AssCreed maxed out at native 2048x1152 is smooth as butter, so is Dirt which really struggled on ultra at native. Need to get my hands on crysis or the demo and give it a blast!

edit: Also whats a safe voltage for my E4500 CPU? 1.4-1.5V? If so I might give it another go at getting it higher.
