CP, what case is that second cruncher running in? I like the space!

 

[PP Mguire]

sweet, but the red suits your board best i think, but what is the differnce anyway? just the color or what?

His are blue and 1600 my are red and 1333. Same chips though so OC to around 2000 easy.

Those sticks are lookin' nice PP!

I still need to figure out what other board I want, and if I want to downgrade to an i5 750.

If perhaps you're fancying a GB board, maybe I can trade for my stuff back

Nah i love this setup. Wouldnt trade it unless it was for an i7 X58 setup

Love the looks of that Element S CP. I've been tempted to blow my wad on one before...

Its a nice case, but not that nice

i bought the 2000mhz ripjaws.

they did 1333 6-6-6-20 windows stable, didnt tested how stable they were, because i had to use the 533 strap+ a htt near the htt wall , the 667 strap was bugged, and wouldnt post at all at 1333 cl6

but with cl 7, i went up to 1700, just couldt go further... 255 is wall, under 240 is stable

What kind of voltage for the RAM?

Stop by this thread when you join dude, I'll see you there

i will, any requirements for the cruncher or is it just anything that can be used?

FFS i cant wait to get my new stuff, hate waiting for HW

stock of course, theyre already at 1.65 stock, i tested 1.7 but it didt do anything to stability in my eyes, i couldnt time better with more volts

yeah well isnt am3 boards limited to like 1600?

The controller supports up to 1600 but that dosent mean you cant OC

But a speed increase over 1600 you really cant tell much of a difference. You get more performance on AMD by increasing cpu frequency, HT/FSB frequency.

theoretically.... if you can force a high ht, your ram will clock higher too... but i cant go further than 667 divider,so i have to do so, but fail at 240.damn!

thats what i thought, anyways i will only be oc'ing the cpu to like 3.8ish

or 4.0, i've got my hands on a small watercooling kit just for the CPU,

phenom2 or core quad or i7?

you will get 4 with a small watercooling on the quad. but not on the the phenom (when you dont got a c3 stepping), and i dont know if it can take the heat of an i7

3.8 is realistic for every new chip.

its a PII 965 BE?

its the setup in my signature, still waiting for MB CPU, MEM and the cooler

then you have a chance. now i wish you good luck on the draw. may it do 4ghz on stock volts

Well, I guess if PP showed his EVGA board.. I should do the same...

Now, gotta get some time on my hand to get the case fixed up with the last few mods..

is that.... rust on the cooler? and is that some kind of gum on top of it?

that is veeeeery naaaiiiiiice

yeah i think its rust, and the motherboard even look like its bending

Xigmatek Thor's Hammer Black-Nickel plating.

That's the top. It's just been cleaned so it looks "strange" for a few mins till it all drys.


By the way.. That's the same cooler that I have now..


As for teh board.. nope, not bent. how it looks via Mobo tray..

Nice cooler,i like the design, but the plater, was a noob... it seems it isnt fully plated, or tends to rip off...doesnt seem too thick, he ruined the cooler a bit with that.. though about replating?

Well.. When this is the second Thor's hammer in the US, First retail model.. I can say that they can have mistakes.


Cooler isn't rusty.

Nickel plating places around here have a $115 minimum. I'd like to nickel plate my full copper xiggy prototype, but I'm not about to spend that much.

 

[brandonwh64]

Thats nice + its a good extra machine for lan party and stuff like that if something goes wrong
how is the noise?

Its really quiet actually. It has a coolmaster Heatsink with a Thermaltake tunnel fan and it runs at a low speed but still keeps it under 35 deg @ 3ghz

The powersupply is not that great i just ordered a 140mm fan with blue lights in it and a 140mm fan grill for my Ultra LSP650W PSU. The fan died after being on a firebase in the middle of iraq. It didnt like the constant dust storms. Ive took the old fan out and cleaned the inside of the PSU and plugged it up and it still works perfect EVEN ran my AMD system for about 3 days with no fan (Temps were medium using OCCT)

bad idea leave it the sexy copper...IMHO it wouldn't look vary good if it was nickel plated...

No, no requirements, any help is appreciated bro

cool then i'll get something up and running soon:-D

what do you plan to run?
