Hey all,
I thought I'd share my current rebuild with you. These were the old specs before I started this rebuild-
AMD 1100T - ( Now Lapped)
Corsair H60 (push/pull) - (Now upgraded to an XSPC Raystorm 750 EX360 open loop system)
Asus m5a97 r1.02 - (now upgraded to an Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z)
Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz 9-9-9-24 (4x4g) - (currently running 2X4g)
His Iceq X2 Turbo r9 280X
Coolermaster 1000w psu
Coolermaster Haf-X case
And some pics -
The now lapped 1100T

Now before the upgrades I had spent weeks trying to get a respectable OC on the 1100T. Best stable OC I got was 3.7ghz. With some help from the members here I realized the old M5A97 board just couldn't supply the 1100T with stable voltages. My VDroop was amazing lol. After only a few months @3.7ghz the MB started to weaken. Suddenly she wasn't stable anymore. Today is a different story though. After about 2hrs of tweaking she's running @ 4ghz with nothing more than a 20x multi and a bump to 1.45v. I haven't really even begun to do any serious tuning yet! And my temps! @ 4ghz - 1.45V I'm reading Socket temps around 34C and core temps in the high 20's during P95! Needless to say I'm not only very happy with the way this rebuild has turned out, I'm really excited to see what this 1100T can really do!
On a related note, I had intended to sleeve all the wires in the system. But after about the 1st few hours I decided to scrap that idea! What a PAIN IN THE A$$! And lapping the CPU comes in a close 2nd to the sleeving! My friggen arm hurt!
EDIT: Forgot to mention, you cant see it but I have a small stock cpu cooling fan mounted on the back of the CPU socket. This HAF-X case leaves enough room behind there that I can close the case with no interference.
