New motherboard
texasboy:
;D Working my way to a final product.
So far I have the following.
Intel extreme DX58SO motherboard.
3x2GB OCZ high performance triple channel memory DDR3 OCZ3X1600L V6GK with heat shield,for i7 /CPU/mobo
4870 intel graphics card 512MB
i7 nehalem 920 1366 2.66MHz CPU.
Next on list will be 750w Toughpower PSU (using one on this PC).
PC Case.
Hard drive, probably 500GB. Its strange that the 10,000rpm disks never took off. Too expensive.
Mostly SATA connections.
Last ,but not least. Hope the better half doesnt find out >:D
cheers
Quantum:
You mean AMD/ATI graphics card, not Intel :P
Have fun with it ^_^
texasboy:
;D good on you Quantum.
Finally put this rig together. Added Cooler Master silent 700w PSU with big fan. All the cords come seperate and you just plug in directly to PSU box what you need.ie HD,Fans, Disk drives etc. Running cool at 32deg. But had a scare when CPU core temps at 80deg. This was due to one of the legs on the heat sink having splayed out during installation, causing the heatsink and CPU not tight together. Got that sorted and the rig is fast at stock. Just finished auto tuning the graphics card and now working on a reasonable OC on CPU etc. Very pleased so far. Will add as I go along. Extremely quiet .
cheers

;D This rig is out of sight. Totally awesome. 2.66GZs stock. Slight OC TO 3.61GZs on stocki heatsink/cooler. Been doing some benchmarks on Everest 5.1 and usually top marks over i7965 extreme. At this OC temp still at 50deg but I think will wait fror better after market heatsink/cooler.
cheers
