Bear in mind the case has 0 cable management, so it doesn't look too bad for what I had to work with

Derp, I'm an idiot, forgot that you already did

scaminatrix · Jul 1, 2011, 11:24 PM

cheesy, could you update the OP pleasy? I just re-read the thread and spotted that a GTS250 was donated but the 8400GS is still in the OP. And any other updates you think should go in there too please

Also, only just noticed that EiSFX donated a monitor and shipped it all the way from Canada

Kudos to all of the overseas donators, all willing to bear the brunt of shipping. Much love here peeps

No monitor was donated, I think it worked out too much on shipping

Aw man, well, still kudos for the offer EiSFX

Can you PM cheesy with an updated list of the parts donated and the donators please? Or just anything that differs from the OP actually, that'll do.

Thanks for your patience everyone and more importantly for your generousity to all who have donated.

Now, the question is, do I OC the Q6600 or not? I think it wouldn't be a fitting tribute unless I did.

Also I am so pleased with how well the components all compliment each other, has a sick black theme going on, a rig I would be proud of if it was my own

This is TPU

You is da awesome!

Should you overclock the Q6600? Dude, do you even have to ask...

lol

The only thing that I recommend you be careful with the overclock is to err on the side of total long term stability, since you are donating the rig. It's not very nice for the recipient if it crashes every week or two, or does strange things, like overclocks can cause.

First off, make sure it's Prime95 stable at stock speed. There are other demanding apps for you to subject it to, but I can't remember what they are. Once you're satisfied that it's stable, then overclock it until it becomes unstable and/or starts to overheat and then back off some. Even if you only have a 10% overclock, it's still worthy of being classed as 'overclocked', so no need to go all out on spending time and effort on it.

If you need any overclocking advice, you're in the right place!

EDIT

I'm really proud to have a link to this thread in my sig and it's nice to see scammy do the same. I have changed my sig quite a few times now, but this link always comes back. I'll keep it there until at least the rig is donated and it's all done and dusted, if not longer.

What an awesome tribute to MKMods!

Bo$$ · Jul 2, 2011, 12:27 AM

or put it at 3000mhz with a slight voltage bump, it will be fine...

cheesy999 · Jul 2, 2011, 01:57 PM

i've updated the OP to the best of my abilities but i don't fully know whats happening with the rig so if i've made a mistake or something needs adding please PM me as soon as possible

who donated the GTS 250?

Well being as this monster has 8gb reapers and a q6600 on the awesome P5Q-Pro, I couldn't let the 8400gs sit in there looking rather tiny in comparison to the rest of the parts so I managed to scoop a nice Asus Batman AA edition GTS 250, so thank you Sasqui.

Maybe it was Sasqui. Man I gotta follow this thread more!!

$50 which equates to £30 and thats how much the 250 cost, not too bad imo

This is what I am doing, I would shoot for 3.6 if it was for myself but a q6600 at 3ghz is sufficint for most.

Qubit, I think I'll be ok overclocking lol remember taking my E7300 to 4.2ghz on a P5Q-Pro, happy days

cheesy999 · Jul 10, 2011, 09:18 AM

OP Updated , finally have enough time in front of a (working) computer this week to do that, Any news NDMK?

Is there anything else still needed??

scaminatrix · Jul 21, 2011, 10:37 PM

Hey peeps, Israar asked me to let you know, he hasn't done one or anything, he's just moved house and getting the 'net set up. He'll be back on soon.

Thanks, I think most of the stuff is covered, but if you've got any bling like a RAM fan or lights I think they might go down well

phill · Jul 21, 2011, 11:06 PM

I have a fan that came with my Patriot ram but I dont know if that will connect up correctly as I'm not 100% certain of the specs your building!

I could see if I can find a Corsair memory flow thing... I'm sure someone I know might have one of those!! I dont tend to go for lights....

scaminatrix · Jul 21, 2011, 11:17 PM

The specs so far are in the OP, here's some photo's of the rig built (looking at the RAM, I don't think a fan will fit actually

):

NdMk2010 should be here soon, I know he's working a ton so I think he's only doing this on the weekends. Thanks again for your offer and thanks in advance for your donation

It's much appreciated.

ste2425 · Jul 21, 2011, 11:39 PM

WHAT!?!?!? i cannot believe this he's passed away? When!!!!?????

Ive been away for quite a few months this is the first id heard.
