Yea, I definitely like it more now. Also replaced the bottom Thermaltake blue LED fan with a black CM one I picked up on a fire sale. Going to bed now...later

You swapped out the Green gpus for reds.

That was an upgrade from awhile back, just couldn't find my "fresh" 6970 pics, and used my old GTX465 pic. Good catch though!!

OK....mixxed bag on the temps.......ambient 23c

Idle......31c

Unigine......46c (cpu).....45c.....(gpu)

occt powersupply test (linpack+furmark).......49c (cpu).....45c (gpu)

and that is all stock.......kinda meh if you ask me.......was hoping for more than 15c of headroom.....

oh well.....time for the oc!!!





well this sucks.....seems as though i may have crapped out on the dice roll known as the silicon lottery.......

dispite temps no higher than 50c, i cant seem to push this p.o.s. past 4.6+......

now granted i havent clocked amd since pII, but sh!t man.....with those temps youd think 5 would be obtainable......

im going to try moving the rig to a better outlet tho....im pretty far from the panel where i am.... my intel rig is hardwired to 20amp fuse....maybe that'll help.....

I look forward to seeing this come together.

If you decide it's not enough and end up in the market for an H80 let me know.

You know, I just had a great idea for us PC gamers. Screw 2.0 and 2.1 speaker systems, since most of our desk areas are cramped we need to look into the soundbar market. ^^

I might get me a soundbar actually quite soon, any recommendations please PM me with a link. Probably going to go with LG because I trust them most.

I actually have a soundbar on the bottom of one of my Dell 20" monitors at work. The sound is very good (occasional music, videos, webex, etc.), and it's up off the desk so more room for working.
