E8400 OC Does it again 4.4GHz | 1956 FSB on AIR!

[falcon23]

Well,then I am not doing too bad on my OC'ed E8400 which is currently setting at 3.9ghz..

 I know I could go higher,but I have not OC'ed my RAM to match with it,and whenever I go over 3.9 I get orthos HALT...Sound like a memory issue deth???

 I have the OCZ REAPER..2@2gig for 4 gig total..Have not touched it to OC it..runs stock,at least within my CPU specs of 3.9..

So evil you two.


Although how long does it normally take for someone to put one together?

I can put mine together fully in about 10 minutes, assuming I have all the parts ready, and don't drop anything.
I use all the typical parts: 1 Motherboard, 1 CPU, 2 RAM, 1 GPU, 1 Wireless card, 1 Sound Card, 4 Fans, 1 PSU, 1 DVD, 1 Card Reader, 1 LCD monitor (built-in to case), 1 HDD, 2 (1 used) USB ports in Case / Case is Aerocool M40 Cube.

thats about all it takes.  when you got a line of 100 computers its even faster.

and taking 3 hours to build a rig and installing the OS .. thats why you use a ghost server. soon as your done with the build. pop a disk in and 5-10 minutes later the OS loaded.  most of the builds where pretty vanilla cases no bells and whistles.  if you cant put one together in less then 10 minutes you really must have issues. just a lot of repeative motion though.

All when and good when you are building several identical systems, but when each is a custom build ummmmm no you should not one done in ten mins or 2 hours for that matter.  Lets see when you slap something together and cables all over and an all around crappy build sure take 10 mins.  I build with thought (unlike some possibly).  I hope to see you at next years Con because I am willing to make a bet... I will bring a complete system (components) you build it and it fires up in 10 mins or under you get to keep the parts.

[TheZohan]

well its me getting to the con. i dont think that would be a issue in building it in 10 minutes. bring a couple of parts. i am sure there are more people there that could do it too. make it fun for everyone just not me.

thats all it was pretty much each order. the same board, processor, memory. how i lasted a year doing that i dont know.

Oooh TD is going to the Con?  Sounds devilishly fun, would love to see that PC with my own eyes.

I admit I build fast, why?  I have less stuff in my case then some, and no place to reroute wires, so that problem is eliminated.  I read the directions prior to getting the parts so I know what can come off, and how and why.  My first build with this case took close to 1 hour due to an unfamiliar case and being the first real build I had ever done.  Re-built it a few times for cleaning sakes and done it fast.

Would hate to see a custom builder who has a full case with all the bells do it fast, likely means something went wrong.

[TheZohan]

of course when i do custom builds my builds take considerably longer but i can have all the parts in , wires nice and neat in about 20-30 minutes in most cases. never had a customer complain and have always been happy with my builds.

Ok which is it the 10 minutes like you said before and if not you have issues, when I stated I takes me about 3 hours... or 20 or 30 min that's your saying now.   And for the record there is no way you could do what I do with a system in 30, 60, or 120 mins.  It is a solid uninterrupted 3 to 4 hours.  These are custom builds, not open the boxes and slap the parts in.

[TheZohan]

not and load the OS unless i already had a ghost image made. if you was smart. you already have images made and cut your time in building as far as loading the OS part. the last place we worked. we had a image for every motherboard we sold. just my 2 cents.

What he is saying is he worked on the Dell assembly line and was very good at dropping the computer into the box, with the paper work and taping the box shut 

Ahhh... that explains all the "boxes" he's built.   

TheZohan hard at work.

The amount of stupid in this thread is mind boggling.

Good job!  Bought nearly the same stuff for a AH build before I saw your post. Giga EP45-UD3R/E8400.

Glad to help

Yep, I take about 3 hours to build a PC before it is ready to power-up.  Heck, takes me about 3 minutes to get the thermal paste applied so I can mount the HSF on the CPU, as I am very careful about getting a precise layer of it spread across the face of the CPU. 

And if the HSF wiggles at all while I am trying to clamp it down, I start over.  It is part of the process to build a good overclocking system.  Did I mention my 3.7Ghz E8400 does not break 43C under heavy loads and idles at 27C?  Of course, not using the stock HSF helps.

A significant amount of time is spent doing cable manangement.

One thing I do to speed the OS install is build slipstream OS's with preconfigured answers to all the questions the normal Windows installer asks as well as all the patches already installed.  Plop in the CD, then walk away and it does the complete install.

All I have to do to the slipstreamed image is change the serial key for new builds and make sure any new updates are already installed.

Takes some time to get that first slipstreamed disc built, as you have to install it to get the list of patches to grab from Microsoft, but after that, it is just a discipline to keep make sure to keep it up to date.
