@jbunch

You are very welcome.

@intel

I know what you're seeing but hmmmm ..... If he only had the rad mounted on the top of the case. IMO, would make the tubing runs shorter and little easier to manage.

if he had the RAD mounted in the top of the case it would make things easier, especially with the RES.

just thinkin if he ever had to service his PC it would be easier with some of that tubing out of the way

i dont like unnecessary tubing

That is quite a nice rig you have there. I like the four sticks of tracers. If you value your eyesight I highly recommend making some tinted windows for them.

[jbunch07]

thanks man, im trying to find out whats wrong with it though. atm its not posting...

[Whilhelm]

Hmm at the moment I have little knowledge about current AMD chips and boards so I can't offer much help. However I have had some problems with my tracers not posting in my Maximus. Have you tried removing all the sticks and clearing the CMOS. After that install 1 stick by itself and see if that gets it to post. I found that my maximus was feeding to little volts to them and it was hanging at the DRAM detect part of the post. Im running mine at 2.2 volts.

Good luck solving the problem.

i haven't tried that method but did try each individual stick of ram to see if one of them was bad but no luck there i don't think they are bad but not 100% sure. Crackerjack said that the ds5 boards may not be compatible with the 9850's so i need to look into that a little more. but i seemed to have misplaced my jumper for clearing the cmos so until i find that thing i cant really do much.

you can jump it with a piece of wire, similar to how you jump a psu to get it to run with no motherboard.

Just check the manual to make sure you get the right two contacts.

[jbunch07]

ok so ive decided to start all over guys. im going to salvage what i can but for the most part it will be a completely different build. still AMD platform just a different approach. ill post more info on this later...most likely tomorrow so stay tuned for more.
And thanks for everyone that has helped me so far. You guys have bin a big help!

ok so here is what i was thinking:

Motherboard-Asus 790GX
Memory -G.Skill 4GB
PSU- PCP&C 750
Cooling-Xigmatek

I also plan to get a 4870 or later on but not right away...still doing some research on those.

[jbunch07]

Suggestions welcome. More to Come.

[Guru Janitor]

PSU and cooling just got in today.

Oh before i forget i thought i would go ahead and ask, whats the best way to apply TIM to a cooler with HDT? I hear you apply it to the base of the cooler directly on the heat-pipes instead of on the cpu. is this accurate?

EDIT:
wow this cooler is big! haha sweet! I bought the HDT-S1283 btw.
