looks good man, nice job
My first custom rig!!!
11
hey everybody i would just like to say that this site is a awsome source for information and i have been browsing this site for awhile but finally made an account. Here's my very first build i just put it together last weekend and overclocked it with the help of the knowledgeable members of this site. Let me know what everybody thinks and if you have any suggestions would be great, thank you.
Specs:
Thermaltake M9 Black Case with 3 120mm Blue Led Fans w/ The inside painted satin black, i cant stand 2 toned cases for some reason.
Gigabyte Motherboard GA-MA785GM-US2H
Ultra LSP 550watt Power Supply
AMD X2 250 Overclocked to 3.5Ghz *REGOR Series* w/Stock Heatsink and
Thermaltake 80mm Blue Led Fan
OCZ Reaper series PC2-8000 1000Mhz 2.1v X 4GB (5-5-5-18-25-2T) Unganged
Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit)
Bios OverClock Specs:
CPU Clock Ratio/Multiplier - x14
CPU NorthBridge Freq./Multiplier - x9(Had to press Ctrl+F1 to access in Bios)
CPU Frequency(MHz) - 250MHz
PCI-E Clock Freq.(MHZ) - 100MHz
HT Link Width - 16bits
HT Link Frequency - 1.8GHz
Memory Clock Multiplier - x4.00 (Default) 1000mhz
DDR2 Voltage - + 0.300
NorthBridge Voltage - Normal (Default)
SouthBridge Voltage - Normal (Default)
CPU NB VID - Normal (Default)
CPU Voltage - Normal (Default)
OverClock Results From CPU-Z:
Core Speed - 3500MHz
Multiplier - x14.0
Bus Speed 250MHz
HT Link - 2250MHz
Dram Freq. - 500MHz
Stress Test:
Prim95 - Blend Test for 1hr and 30min with 0 errors and CPU temp never went passed 46c and idle is 36c.

Thanks everybody for the positive comments and welcoming me to OCN!!

yeah the reason i picked a ddr2 was because at Compusa they didn't have the UD2H mobo i wanted which is the exact same board as mine except its ddr3 and has side port memory. So i just settled for the US2H mobo out of bieng impatient to build my computer. So what i plan to do is use ddr2 memory and mobo for my wifes computer and get the UD3H which is ddr3 but its also a atx board with alot more options.

Sorry it took me awhile to reply, anyways im not sure how your getting such low idles temps 17c?? thats pretty low even for idle. Do you have AMD Cool & Quite turned on? What are you using to monitor your temps? and also im using a stock heatsink with a thermaltake blue led fan so maybe that helps, but my temps are accurate ive checked with cpu-z,everest ultimate,speed fan,and bios they all say the same within 1-2c of each other.

17c on air cooling? that's pretty good...your ambient temperature must be uncomfortably cold. 17C = 62.6F
btw people recommend blend testing for over 6 hours. I do at least 12 hr. My stability testing method is 10 runs of intelburntest as an initial check for stability, if that's stable i move to a 12 hr prime95 test. 1.5 hours is hardly enough to call something stable. Good luck with the build!

actually the UD2H isnt exactly the same (besides color scheme) the main difference is its an AM3 board yours is AM2/AM2+ and only AM3 supports DDR3 but AM3 CPU can still use AM2/AM2+ socket and DDR2 RAM. sorry if you already knew this.
quick look at the specs your gonna be alot better off when you upgrade to the UD3H than you would be having just gotten the UD2H in the first place.
