still working on getting everything installed and updated. only got a chance to run one benchmark. i maxed all the settings in Company of Heros with the dx10 patch and got around 150 fps average with a little ocing on the graphics card. the quad's currently running at 3.0 Ghz until i have more time to mess with settings

ok, now i have a question.
ive been trying to oc my cpu again now that the rams here, and when ever i try it wont boot. ive tried linked, unlinked, synchroness and all the other memory options. ive never put the memory above stock, and my procesor was fine with the clock with my other ram. any ideas?

Nice looking on the inside.

So, when the outside case panels & windows are added, will they have a Chuck Norris theme??!!??

dan's right. there isnt really much room on the side panel as it is mostly taken up by the 3 windows, the 25cm fan, and the vista oem product sticker i put on

oh so there really isnt a chuck norris theme going on? just that it has some nice hardware ahh I was really looking forward to see a theme, oh well still a kickass rig. ^_^

[markkleb]

a kickass rig. ^_^

Thats the Chuck Norris part...

ya but its no chuck norris, I admire that guy, only American to receive an 8th degree black belt, so I thought I was going to see a theme based after his greatness, yes the hardware is kickass but I have seen kickass hardware before so I was expecting something else, but again nothing again the rig it is nice and it is kickass just not what I was expecting to see.

well id be happy to paint a chuck norris theme if you could buy me a more modable case, oh say a p182?

Woah, don't you dare suggest painting a P180/182/190 ever again. The beauty of those cases is the fact that they are so minimalistic.

I'll find out where you live if you do

out of instinct i shot from my laptop to the p180 and shielded it from danger! i like it just the way it is plskthx

[martini161]

ok, ok, im sorry. it was too early for me to be thinking stright, and by moddable,i dont mean paintable, i mean just you can actually take a dremel to it and make a hole for a rad or something, unlike my case, which has holes in all the right places, if you know what i mean

[martini161]

ordered a swiftech north bridge block today, along with some swifty copper heatsinks for the pwms and a heatsink fan that was intended for a vga for the southbridge. should be here by friday, ill post some pics when they arrive. and since im going to have to take apart the rig anyway, im gonna redo all the wiring and stuff. does any body have any tips? i suck at that stuff

[DMB2000uk]

Cable ties are your friend.

If you find that your PSU cables aren't long enough to hide the majority of them behind your drive bay cages, just clump them all together with cable ties with them branching off (only the amount of cable to get to the port though) when they are needed. Tuck the extra cable near your PSU, or in the spare 5 1/2" bays.

Not much advice, but its the best way i figured of doing it without needing hours and case mods.

[martini161]

my oh my newegg ships fast. got the parts today, installed them and im leak testing over night. gonna rewire the case tommorow and ill post the pics then too

[martini161]
