good 1 gigabyte

if youre going to get a kit get that one

 

[jbunch07]

yea the board is really nice quality! im in love...even though its not as pretty as that asus board but im glad i bought this one! i really am!

haha now i just have to figure out what i wanna buy next...most likely hard drives+os or cpu
ill prob use the ram and video card i have for the time being, even though i wont be abe to use both of my cards...my ram i have know will do just fine though

 

[asb2106]

you can get a swiftech H20-220 compact @ the EGG right now for $139.99 pretty damn good deal, and IT is expandable

dont waste your money on the ultra or the coolit

+1, I really like this system, and with the 220 radiator you can get good cooling out of it!!

 

[jbunch07]

looks like ive made my decision then... ha ha alright!

The M3A32-MVP Deluxe just gives you all what you want, simply a great board, you'll be happy once you find the BIOS version that will fit better with your OC.

For the CPU, what to say? Just wait a lil bit to the new Phenoms that are going to be on stock really really soon, the 790FX you just got it's full of posibilities.

yea i think im going to get the new 9850be, looks promising...
and the 790fx simply owns as of right now that is

oh and love your avatar
Stewie ftw!!!

Yeah, just wait to that 9850BE, it really looks promising as you say ... and for the water setup, you won't be wrong going with the H2O-220, i moved to water about a month ago and i'm just happy of the results with a "cheap" setup as mine (only good good thing it's the block), and with the H2O-220 you'll get nothing but mid-high components in all the fields, seriously planning on getting the Micro-Res and the MCR220 to improve my cooling ... your spider platform is gonna rock.

I love yours too

thanks man i hope it turns out well, it just going to take a while to finish
but i know it will worth it in the end

 

[jbunch07]

hey guys it me again... just bought my hdd and os...but i have a quick question...is it possible to swap processors with out reinstalling the os? like you can a video card or ram?
because i was wanting to use my x2 6000 until i get my phenom...will i be able to do that or should i just wait till i get the phenom?

 

[ShadowFold]

Im pretty sure you can. Im not sure tho I went from a Athlon 3800+ X2 to a Athlon 4200+ X2 and I didnt have to reformat.

thanks i dont think you do but im not sure considering that an x2 to a phenom is a little different though...the bios settings might be different

 

[ShadowFold]

take X2 out. Reset bios. Put the Phenom in. That should work.

 

[asb2106]

i dont think youll have any problems making the switch. I was able to swap a q6600 and a e6600 back and forth a few times, and if the mobo didnt like the settings, its would just require a clear of the cmos, and thats easy enough to do

Swappin Boards

the bottom of the cooler...not mirror but will work until i get the swiftech

processor is installed

cooler and Ballistix back on board

everything moved over just fine! installed the 64bit home premium been using it all day....works like a charm
haven't tried ocing yet....but i did use MX-2 on the heatsink...i had the factory grease on it last time :shadedshu ive already noticed i big drop in idle temps so maybe i will try a lil ocing soon...but ill prob just wait till i get everything to do benches, all i need now is 9850, Swiftech h20-220, and im still tryin to decide on video card setup dont know if i should do 2 3870X2's, 1 3870X2 + single 3870 or if i will wait till the 4xxx's come out

Id say you should stick it out until the 4 series come out!! I would have, I thought they wernt gonna be around till late this year, but I guess they are saying early summer.

thats what im thinking...besides this will give me time to buy the phenom and the swiftech kit

Yep! I think the CPU power and the great cooling will help hold you over for a while!

**Hey, totally unrelated, but check out the adolescent OS, thats it my sig - GOOD READ

thanks!

its a Cooler Master Mars http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/display/coolermaster-mars.html
tbh i bout it because it looks cool....its not the best air cooler but it actually does a pretty good job of keepin my cpu cool

its different looking, i like it. didnt peep the link how many heatpipes? AMD's dont run all to hot these days do they? plus youll be switching to water eventually anyways

it only has 3 heat pipes but they are big and copper
and my cpu actually runs pretty hot, with this cooler it idles at 32 i havent done any stress testing yet but the MX-2 has lowed my temps a good 6-7 degrees at idle...can wait to go water though

 

[domy85]

What do you plan on cooling with water including how many radiators?

did you try and remount to see if it would make a diff?

whats your load temps? thats what is important

have you used AS5? how do you like it compared to the MX2?
