Thanks m8, glad you like it

Im not sure if he knows how to overclock and I dont want to overclock it just to have him contact me saying somethings wrong

If it was mine I would overclock the arse of it coz Ive heard these CPU's overclock really well

BTW to anybody thinking of building a Conroe system.......DO IT NOW!!!! They are awesome and easy to work with (I love the way the CPU drops in and the heatsink & fan just 'pop' in)

The installation manual

Chewy · Dec 1, 2006, 08:48 PM

I must finds it :P everyone is loving conroes nowadays, guess I picked and it is a good time to upgrade a system.

I need a camera so I can post my build:S, I'll have to get a friend of mine to take some with his camera phone.

also man, In games you will see a difrence overclocking, but If you rip a movies with DVD Decrypter... I get the same time for the same movie @ stock or 3.2.

Are you using stock cooling m8? If yes what tips can you give me on overclocking this beauty

devinXkillyou · Dec 1, 2006, 09:01 PM

nice job bro, very clean. nice parts too! i like your case, thats pretty nice looking. your cpu cooler looks pretty efficient, what brand is it?

Chewy · Dec 1, 2006, 09:03 PM

na I got a pmw 9500 zalman cooler.. I cant oc any more because of ram... I do not want to go over 2.3v on the ram...
The ds3's lowest ram multi is 2.0 2x fsb... it wouldent work right at 475fsb.. I tested 455 thoguh as someone told me I woulden't get 450fsb... with the ds3 mobo.

I wish I had put more money into ram but I was trying to keep this build cheap as possable.. and I though I could do 850mhz 4-4-4-12 timmings with this ram like someone else... guess they got better sticks. mine does 4-5-5-12 850 though with 2.1v... guess thats good enough.

Chewy · Dec 1, 2006, 09:11 PM

bruins004 · Dec 1, 2006, 09:11 PM

man, prices have gone down so much. i remember spending $800 on my first system and it sucks now. i bet with all the upgrades ive gotten over the 2 yrs since my first build, i would surpass that $1350 estimate.

tigger · Dec 1, 2006, 10:56 PM

nice system.the 6300 is a great clocker.

can you post the stepping from the box ie-l629b405? that is mine.

they can clock to 3ghz+ with stock vcore.you could do with an arctic freezer 7 pro tho'.

mine benchies at 3.7ghz and i've had it to win(cpu-z) at 3.9ghz,smashing little chip.

Alec§taar · Dec 1, 2006, 11:09 PM

Man!

Just between the vidcard & CPU specs? That's one FINE machine!

* I'd be proud & happy to have it, this is certain + I know I'd o/c the heck outta it, to get the most outta it, y'know?

APK

P.S.=> Your pal? He's just GOT to be a gamer, especially w/ a setup like that... or, @ least I hope you can 'convert him' to being one! apk

Tatty_One · Dec 2, 2006, 12:10 AM

Way nice - a prog friend at work just got a similar rig, though with a i680 board (mmm, think it was i680), but E6600 cpu. Hopefully, your friend will attempt overclocking... it's like leaving a gold nugget lying in the dirt if they don't...

Yas1 · Dec 3, 2006, 09:21 PM

I don't know crap about overclocking, but I know this is a really nice system, it's what my daughter wants to get her too. She just built her first, I'll have to post pics too.
