Nice looking rig1 a Question isn't the ASUS-A8N32 a socket 939?.What is the limit you can upgrade your CPU to FX-55 DualCore 64bit? or more.Im about to build another rig + am hung up on the mobo.I've always had ASUs and would like to stay with them.They retired AMD that is socket 939 so that is what im kind of confused about.Do i need to look for a ASUS AM-2 socket to keep up.Maybe you have some advice i want 2gig corsair ram like you im running Vista so i can go to Direct -X 10 with the 8800 gtx sli set up orstart with your card and at some point buy another.Thanks for listening to my rambling

Parts are getting SO cheap nowerdays!
Initially I wanted to get a Celeron D 3.46hgz .. but for an an extra few dollars, i went for the Pentium D... why not get something that'll last aye?

and it's the 65nm Pentium chip.. so it's using a LOT less power, and it's much much cooler..

Thermaltake Big Typhoon, this one: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...re=THERMALTAKE it is the older model with the better mounting hardware. I upgraded the fan that comes with it to this one: http://www.thermaltake.com/dcfans/led/bluesmart.htm The A2018 model. It has a lot more CFM than the stock Typhoon fan. I also use two more of those for case fans. As well I have 2 of these for case fans: http://www.thermaltake.com/dcfans/led/a1506.htm

All of them are controlled by a Sunbeam Rheobus fan controller.

Is there any room between the Ultra-X and the case window @ all? It sure doesn't look like it.

Theres actually about 2-3" clearance or better, its just the angle of the camera. Its got a Delta fan on there too

I redid some of the cable management on it too, Im waiting for my new LCD to get here.

Ordered a Samsung 226BW 22" Widescreen 2ms, looks like a sexy monitor from what ive seen.

Pics update to follow, new corsair ram installed and whatnot, doing stress testing,benching and satbility.

here is a non-crossfire pic.

Nice powersupply =p. that thing is so hard to get all the wiring taken care of, it almost has too many connections haha

Lowfat · Mar 25, 2007, 12:23 PM

mine use to have too many connectors. When i swapped the fan i removed half the molex connectors and half the sata connectors. I wish the 2 PCIe connectors were a bit longer to route nicer besides that it is a pretty good PSU.

i got most of my molexes tucked down the back and at the bottom where the case speaker used to be, the little holders for it are great for holding your cables

and no different angles until i actually get home next monday, living at my grandma's since parents [naughty word]'ed off on holiday/vacation some place <_<
can honestly say im' GLAD NOT TO BE WITH THEM

I have some of the same hardware as you any tips how i might safely overclock and change memory timing this was my first pc that i built and my other pc is a dell xps and if you know dell they dont let you overclock. could use some advice from someone more schooled.

**ChaosMinionX** · Mar 28, 2007, 08:00 PM

Mousey · Mar 29, 2007, 05:17 AM

Damn you people xD

**kris23** · Mar 29, 2007, 10:34 PM

Mousey · Mar 30, 2007, 05:18 AM

^ your system is only about the same spec as mine, and even the gigabtyte 9550 has more than 2 mb of memory xD, i'm running the same card but by sapphire and their all pretty much the same, just had the colour changed according to the manufacturere

CDsDontBurn · Mar 30, 2007, 09:38 AM

mousey, your machine also lacks a more powerful p4, but you do have more RAM.
