Its ok, I have some spares that will work for now, I doubt they will pack it full so soon. I will tell her that I will upgrade it to a 500GB or so later.

What did you end up using for a CPU cooler?

I have some stock ones laying around from other builds and with the 4 extra 120mm fans in the case it should keep it cool under load at stock clocks.

Jstn7477 · Jun 8, 2012, 09:34 PM

I've seemingly stabilized the 720BE now. The last things I did were reduce vcore to 1.35 from 1.41 and reduced memory multiplier to 4x from 5.33x. It's running great at 3.4 so I'm going to bump up the multi a bit and see what happens. My guess is that the DDR2 part of the memory controller sucks, it needs lots of volts to do 1066 on 2 sticks, or the board doesn't like my 2.1v OCZ Platinums.

I also got AudiTuner's Q9300 bundle in, and while the board only does ~380 FSB (1520) which translates to 2850MHz (7.5*380) and 760MHz DDR2, I think it's a very decent OC on a low-multi Yorkfield quad on a 975X chipset that was never officially recommended by Intel (but the P5WDH Deluxe has had like 30 BIOS updates to support any CPU). Overall I'm very pleased with that system after adding MCH and FSB Termination voltage to stabilize it. A steal for $110 bucks IMO considering just the CPU and the 4GB DDR2 costs that much.

popswala · Jun 9, 2012, 01:14 AM

Anyone got any am2/am2+ mobos (ddr2 of course)? Prob gonna need a few other things but it all depends on the boards such as psu's & ram. Figured I'd ask on here. I've been lookin for a while now but not much luck.

That sounds like a sweet build you did there brandon. hit us up with some pics of the build. You know we love that kind of stuff here.

TacoTown · Jun 10, 2012, 09:09 AM

Hey brandon, the 5770 will do that with wet textures in skyrim. If uou install a water mod it'll clear up(it did for me)

OMMFG. Time for a new power supply, maybe motherboard. Unplug/completely disconnect the power supply from the mobo and leave everything sit for a few hours.

Is this your 2600K???

Chicken Patty · Jun 12, 2012, 03:36 PM

Damn, not good man. Do as Jr said. Hopefully it's just a PSU at worst. Maybe you plug it all back in a few hours from now and it works. Has happened to me.

Also happened to me at work when we had a large power surge! The PC would not respond so I unplugged it for 10 minutes then it worked fine.

Chicken Patty · Jun 12, 2012, 03:54 PM

Yep, I've had that happen to me multiple times. I've been lucky.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Jun 12, 2012, 04:00 PM

I have noticed the surge deal and not booting right away seems to be a Intel thing. Most of the time if everything is left unhooked for soem time it will boot like there's nothing wrong.

Chicken Patty · Jun 12, 2012, 04:43 PM

Funy that's happened to me with my AMD rigs I believe.

My main machine was cycling through BSODs for about 2-3hrs last night. Thought it was a goner, but it turns out the multi-monitor/multi-GPU setup decided it didn't want to work anymore. Both cards are functional, just can't stand to be in the same machine anymore

Chicken Patty · Jun 12, 2012, 05:59 PM

Arjai, as I once said. Patience pays off, trust me on that.

Isn't that typical with every couple?

Round two with my gaming rig. Swapped out Rosewill Capstone 550w with Rosewill RG530 unit. Flip switch, no standby lights. Press power button, hear an electrical arc and PSU instantly shuts off.

I am close to tears right now.

That really sucks

First and foremost Jstn, shit can all of the damn ROSEWILL POS power supplies man!!!!!!!! They are frigging junk brother! Pick up a quality Corsair, Enermax, or Seasonic. I have seen more shit damaged due to shitty power supplies.

Most of the time if everything is left unhooked for soem time it will boot like there's nothing wrong. __________________ Crunchers : Phenom II x6 1090t / 2x Phenom II x6 1055t / Phenom II x4 970BE / “I always succed in my mission tho.

Thought it was a goner, but it turns out the multi-monitor/multi-GPU setup decided it didn't want to work anymore.

Swapped out Rosewill Capstone 550w with Rosewill RG530 unit. Flip switch, no standby lights. Press power button, hear an electrical arc and PSU instantly shuts off.
