newbee boy intro
hi everybody! my name is Dana, yeah I am a guy. i just wanted to tell you all a little about my main reasons for joining your group. I’m very new to computers but I have wood shedded myself and learned a TON , sometimes more than I can believe. I had a system built, then promptly started to play with OCing and changing all the hardware ect??? it was definitely the school of hard knocks. So now I feel its time to do more than read the post for info, settings and such. So I want to compare the settings and numbers that everyone else is using. I feel pretty confident about my ability to OC the CPU, GPU and memory and have rebuilt my system 4 times and now built three computers for a hobby and some profit. this stuff is VERY,VERY,VERY addicting [just say NO!!!] lately it’s been benchmarking and scores as I’ve been changing video cards and OCing them then checking the numbers. I do some gaming but am doing more for fun and to see what the reasonable limits of the hardware. [You know they always hold the limits of everything back to sell more models for more money] I will apologize ahead of time for my bad typing and slow response time with occasional misspelled word I really suck at it but its getting better. At times I may also seem painfully ignorant of seeming simple software use, because sometimes I am!! But again its getting a lot better. So that’s a mouthful and my fingers are swollen. I’ll talk to you soon , dana alias, BL..oh yeah almost forgot, My basic setup is a Gigabite EP43-DS3L,Thermaltake 500WT PS, E8400 @3.71 W/Zalman 110mm cooler ,Gskill DDR2-1066 @1099,5,5,5,15, 1.9V, Nvidia 9800GT @711-1728-964, X-fi sound blaster, Segate 7200-320GB 16mb HD, two Sony burners and a multi card reader in a modified apevia case with four 120mm and three 80mm blue tricool fans. my best 3DMark06 score so far is 14528, peace all ,see ya

Sounds like you are doing alright with learning about PC's with the stuff in your current rig and how much you've overclocked it
