Hi guys.
Well i bought some new parts and would like to share with you how they are doing.
About 3 months ago I ordered an Antec P180B and a Corsair HX620W PSU. But I have been using my old hardware(3500+,6800GT) in it.
Now I finally order some new parts:
Intel Core 2 Duo e6400 €199
Asus P5B-Deluxe €156
2GB Team Xtreem PC6400C4 €275
Asus EN8800GTS €407
Arctic Freezer 7 Pro €16
First I had order OCZ PC-6400C4 Titanums EPP, but I found out that ocz didnt guarantee cas 4 on intel chipsets :S so I got 2 Team sticks with Micron D's in them and for a lower price... Why didn't buy those in the first place, I don't know.
I received all the parts yesterday except for the 8800GTS
It's still on pre-order). But I went a head started building my new rig anyways.
This is what it looks like after an hour of hard labour(nicked my finger on the arctic heatsink, trying to get the fan of
).
I couldn't get the a raid 0 setup to work... (During the blue screen of installation it couldn't copy the intel raid controller drivers from the floppy...) I'll have to fix that later.
So then it was time for some OC'ing. I set the memory to DDR 800 4-4-4-10 @ 2.1V and it booted instantly. No problems what so ever.
This is how far I've gotten so far.
This memory is amazing
DDR 1000 4-4-4-10 @ 2,25V
I ran orthos for 5 minutes and it looked pretty stable. Going to do some mem86+ testing next.
To be continued
