Orthos stopped after 9 minutes on stock settings I do not know what is going on. When I disable all the things you recommend to disable most of the time the comp wont boot. My guess is bad mobo? I did two passes of memtest and everything went fine.

Orthos just failed for me at 375. Here is the text from the failure:

Type: Blend - stress CPU and RAM Min: 8 Max: 4096 InPlace: No Mem: 1791 Time: 15

From what I read in this forum I think I'm supposed to bump up the vcore voltage at this point? But only in small increments?

I also ran the trial version of Everest to see how my temperatures were holding up...

Should I have reason to be concerned about the ~60 degrees C on the videocards? If so...doing a bit more research on these forums and people seem to like this one:

And I've got 2 open slots for 2 of these...

Moving on to 375 now.

I continue to learn more and more each day here...and I have you personally to thank!

I guess it probably makes sense now to go out get some of the other cooling mechanisms you recommend. But I'm a little unsure of what each of these 3 items actually do:

2 of these

My concern here is that my sound card extends over the battery. (Is that where these go?)

http://www.bigfootcomputers.com/Merc...tegory_Code=40

Not really sure what this one is either.

and 2 sets of these?

http://www.bigfootcomputers.com/Merc...tegory_Code=40

I don't object to spending another $100-$150 on a system that I've already spent close to $3000 on....just want to make sure what I'm buying!

First, there is an issue with sound cards length and two 8800's with respect to southbridge cooling. If you use the thermaltake extreme spirit II's that I am using, your sound card will not be able to exceed 150mm in length (again if you are using two 8800's. If one then the sound card can go lower or alternatively, you can rotate the spirit more).

Have a look at the pics in posts 5 and 6 of this thread. I demonstrated the space issues. I was able to install two 8800gtx and two thermaltakes with a sound card but the sound card has to be short.

There looks to be little room down by the first pci slot where my 8800 is so i dont know how i would fit on one of these????

Plenty of room based on their design.

Here is when I installed just the nb one.

I will take another look at the pics. I had already purchased the xi-fi xtreme gamer soundcard as part of my newegg invoice.

Back to the 375...up the vcore a bit?

Time to go to the pic i provided in post 2 of this thread and set some more voltages. Vcore, go up .2 at a time(do not exceed 1.55) until it hits stable again.

60C for video cards is fine. My gtx runs at 60C idle and close to 70C load. That is fine.

If you can exchange it, get the Bluegears B-Enspirer. Mine came in today. It provides better sound quality than the X-FI gamer, its the same price. And its 146mm long, fits perfectly.

**Robilar** · 03-22-07

The swifttech MC21's you linked worked out great. (I posted pics a couple of pages back). The thermaltake spirits are smaller than the thermalright (And cheaper). I got close to 18C drop on my nb alone with one and 15c on the sb.

Try running it with one stick of ram in slot 3 or 4. Its possible the motherboard is bad but I'm more inclined to believe its the ram. Swap out the sticks (Try each separately). Memtest will not show if its a compatibility issue with the ram itself.

This sticker on the box made me a little nervous when I first bought it.

I have found ThermalTake Extreme Spirit II Chipset Cooler LED do I need one or two???

Are they easy to fit?

Is there a guide on removing the parts ad putting these on?
