just a little bragging
Well i finally got me a good case and thermaltake HS 947U with a tornado (and speed controler on case) and some OCZ 3500 DDR mem.
so this is what i got now and think i have to room to move up the OC ladder.
Aspier Super X alien case with 500 watt PSU with 2 fan speed controls and 2 front mounted temp displays for CPU and what ever else you want to moniter.
fans - 2 front (blowin in) 2 rear (out) 1 side (in) 1 top (out) _ the 2 on the PSU
Asus A7N8X -dx
XP2500 unlocked
2 x 256 OCZ EL 3500 DDR mem.
Thermaltake 947U HS with a 110 cfm antec tornado fan
and got me a 36 Gig WD raptor (still havent set it up thought)
currently using a 15 G WD 66 and a old 4 Gig WD @ 33
So i slap it all in the new case, fight to get the fans all daisy chained so they will work and instead of using the 4 case fans for one of the controlers i used 3 (1 side 2 rear and then TORNADO on CPU) on one controler and then the top is hard plugged to the PSU and the 2 front are the other fan controler.
Now im running currently @ 2.3 G
11.5 x 200 FSB
with thanks new mem. im gonna up the FSB (i had corsair XMS3200 but it was some of the first they made and go pass a FSB of 200)
So now i can finally run PRIME from 12 hrs w/no PROBS YAHHHHHH
temps (all fan at slowest speeds too)
31/32 C @ idle
41 to 44 under heavy gamin load.
42 under prime load
and i still need to get the Raptor set up and then ill mess with upping the FSB ....... Ill keep ya all posted
