After my new TilDeath computer arrived, Rich and I spent several hours on the phone talking about setup, weather, his dogs, my dogs and then the other computer in the house – mine. It’s got an Asus P5NE-SLI mb, E6750, 850W ps, and 2 Gig 1333 Ram. We got to talking about what speeds it was running at and of course, I couldn’t answer, so the tweaking began. Installed CPU-Z and Real Temp then playing in the Bios. After about 3 hours and If I remember correctly, a few too many cold ones
, we settled on an overclock of somewhere between medium and wild. Heat was beginning to be a problem. After explaining the case issue to Rich, and because he had another package he was sending to me anyhow, he decided to donate 3 fans and a few splitters
. After several weeks of running this comp with the side panel off, I finally found the time to get them installed. I did what I could to clean up the wires and cables inside, but it’s still too ugly for a photo
.
Temps are right where they should be atm. Hmm, maybe more OC'ing in the near future
Again thanks TD for all your help.
Yes, the case is taped shut, screws are in the drawer.
This is all she had
Video card died 2 months ago, might have been too warm. New one:
Started cleaning and dis-assembly outside Friday night, with a few beers
Cutting holes in the dark isn't really that hard to do.
Double-checking function before riveting the fans into place
Done, finally
