NICE DUDE, lol, I'm old-schooling my dual monitor display, I've got 2 old (circa 1997) EV700 Gateway 17" monitors, I wish I had what you got.

By the way, I still can't figure out how to attach pictures. The pictures that guy gave me to show me what to do, that would have worked, but I don't know which menu he was at. Can anyone clarify how to attach pictures on this site?

 

[psychomage343]

thank you, i got my 3500 from 2.2 to 2.7, how did you get your 3200 to 4200, that's a huge increase in my books. i'm running the newcastle core on an asus a8n sli deluxe. i'm cooling it with a coolermaster aquagate water cooling system

 

[psychomage343]

and if you could what are your aquamark and 3dmark03 scores

 

[djbbenn]

Very nice there psychomage343...

Rather Plain

I'll post some pics of my PC just to help anyone who is apprehensive about posting theirs. My case is definetly the most plain of all I've seen on this post so far. I don't have a lot of money so I sacrificed some style for some power, which of course is the right descision. I do prefer a more plain case over haveing a carnival sitting in my room, but it needs some adjustments. Specificallly I need some round IDE cable and to fix my mess of power cables. Its a work in progress so someday it will be pretty .

It still has some teeth though, 3Dmark03 8485 (details in pics)

Also I need a Fan controller that will fit behind the door on my front bezel, something with low profile nobs or buttons that will adjust fans with 4 pin connectors? I would appreciate some suggestions on that.

Nice rig...I like your windows theme for the taskbar. And that HL2 fan grill is different. For a fan controller maybe a Thermaltake Hardcano? Just a idea.

-Dan

 

[Thermopylae_480]

That is a really nice one, but the price is a little steep. I don't know if I'll be able to find one that will work for around $30 though.

The grill is actually a sticker I made, but I think it looks cheesy, so I'm going to take it off .

 

[djbbenn]

That was just the first nice one that came to mind...maybe a Zalman ZM-MFC1, kind of nobby though lol. The Coolermaster Aerogate 2's are nice aswell, bit steep though.

[Slayerstaps]

Got some nice rigs here mine is nothing compared to it all lol
I just got a plain chenbor gaming bomb case with a green cold cathode nothing special....i'll post some pics if u guys would like that but it's not shocking

But this is a really nice thread like to see more threads like this one

 

[djbbenn]

Well the thread is to show your rig, so just show it.

-Dan

 

[Slayerstaps]

I will then, just need some time to find my (pretty bad) cam to make some pics

 

[psychomage343]

nice setup

hey, nice setup there, i got a coolermaster aquagate watercooling system, with that and the asus a8n sli deluxe, i still can't get a good overclock, any ideas. i got hyperx ram, and everything seems to be working stable, but if i push it any farther than 2700mhz it goes awry. i saw a 3200 at 2.8 ghz and i was wondrin how you pulled it off.

 

[wtf8269]

It could be your PSU, what PSU do you have? If you don't have stable voltage rails that can ruin an overclock. Another thing you could try is putting your ram down to 166mhz, which will give you more head room in your RAM. Lastly, some CPUs just can't overclock as well as others can. Same for graphics cards.

I'll post pics of my Lian Li soon here, I'm still waiting on those fans. Actually they're probably on my door step right now, it's just that I'm not home so I can't cut the blowholes or anything right now. But, hopefully in a couple days I'll get it all up and working.

 

[djbbenn]

So your getting a new case...no more Tt64. Well still the 64 lol.

-Dan

 

[wtf8269]

I've already got it, not to mention already sold my Thermaltake v5000a to a friend of mine. I looooooove the Lian Li, the only reason I'm not going to take any pictures yet is because I haven't finished cutting all of the blowholes. It only came with a single 80mm in the back, but now thanks to me it has two. I just need to put in dual 80mm's for my graphics card in my side panel.

I think it's kinda funny. I buy a brand new $120 Lian Li case, and what's the first thing I do? I start modding it!!

 

[psychomage343]

i got the ram down to a respectable level, and htt is only 1076, i'm running 33 degrees celcius, at load. I'm using an xconnect 600 modular psu, everything seems to be stable, voltage and the like, i think i've just reached the limits of a newcastle core, i'm moving to a 4800 soon, so i guess it'll have to do

 

[Slayerstaps]

My 3500+ also get's kinda unstable when i try to run 2.7. Tried al sorts of things to get it stable but it was nog go. But it runs fine @ 2.5 not a shocking overclock but atleast it's way better then the stock settings

6800 gt

i was wondering why so many people go for the gt and not the ultra when the ultra owns the gt at least as far as i know not making any harmfull comment its just like if u r going from say like me from a FX version y get the GT when u can get the ultra considering the jump in performance

 

[psychomage343]

i dont' know why you guys but nvidia period, ati def has the upper hand when it comes to gaming

 

[Snipe0876]

to be honest i had a ATI once i never was more dissapointed id never go to ati again after it 40 fps in cs couldnt believe it so always went for nvidia they have the market of games anyway and they r superior in performance sli beats it all hands down they r reliable thats what u get have friends who had ati to and the problems they had with it was unbelievable wouldnt play certain games and so on drivers being the problem so i would never get 1 after all that left a scar

 

[psychomage343]

you have a point, i was a big fan of the fx series in the past, but once i grabbed the new x850 off the shelf, i'm a diehard fan, i'm looking at 130 fps in cs at 1280x800
