Wow, is this right?

Sooo, first boot and I haven't done anything except let Windows recognize everything and reboot.

First thing I pull up is CPUz of course. I haven't done ANY overclocking in the bios. The only thing i did was change the boot order because it was seeing my usb external and giving me a disk boot error.

4.2ghz??


The lines are what i've been having trouble with since i put my 5870 in. Funny thing there is that I didn't see them when i actually took the screen shot...

If you bought that board used- did you reset the BIOS? If not its most likely the previous owners OC.

Oh snap, I didn't even think about that. I bought it used from Fitseries. I'll have to ask him about it.

Guess I'll have to run some OCCT to see if it's stable lol.

I like the mounting system for it. It just was too wide to fit with the fans facing the rear. The Classified's northbridge heatsync is too tall.

Here it is on the mobo tray:


Cooler, Sound Card and GFX installed


In Case


still can't get over how big the 5870 is. Here it is next to the Sapphire 4870 it is replacing


I still have to work on cabling and some other odds and ends but it's mostly done.

The outgoing parts will be going into the wife's compy.

will have stuff from her rig for sale soon.

Ha, that would be cool.

It is actually Fitseries3 reading the mind. The setup was from him.

Thanks to Fitseries3 for an awesome board setup and deal!

Nice rig, doing cablemanagement on that is gonna be a b*tch though, seeing all those cables. Took my most of my day to work away the cables of my UCP 900W psu and this powersupply seens to have more cables :P

I'm actually hoping for just the opposite with the new case. Also hoping for a bit better cooling.

All I can say is I am jealous. Cant wait to see it in the new case with the cable management. I cant stand the boards that look like Lego's. That ones was just begging for that black and red 5870. That should be a killer machine.
