I had a 80mm fan in the side of my case, which I dumped. I am going to replace it with a 120mm fan in the top. In the end it'l have 3 120mm fans all running about 1500 RPM. Should be enough with water-cooled CPU and VPU.

Hah yeah I'll say. You should make like two of those radiators, that would be sweet.

Yes, that happends a few times. Try again.

I'm pretty suprised you haven't upgraded your northbridge cooler at all.

No, that is an old pic from my water review. I now have the DFI LanParty nF4 Ultra D, so I can't really change that cooler because it's almost touching my VGA Card.

 

[wtf8269]

Yeah same here, I've thought about getting this before, my friend has it. It helped him quite a bit but he's running a VIA chipset on an AMD XP.

That cooler works well. Solid copper and mirror finish.

nothing special in my case. Only thing is, now instead of that TDK DVD burner, I now have a Plexy , I have a SB Audigy 7.1 audio card, and I flipped the outside pannel so the fan points into the right place

O THOSE DISGUSTING IDE CABLES TIE THEM OR GET ROUND ONES ZOMG YOU RUINED THAT CASE. the clear cases are nice though, neat in the dark, not ideal for lan parties. overall good job

this is my northbridge cooler TITAN VGA and a small pic

I want to water-cool the video card asap. I have a block, but would like to read up on cooling the memory better, and read someone elses build notes.

very messy, slow processor.

obo1337's case

No more messy than your case ^^ IMO but to each his own.

PCmark 04 - 6136
3DMark 05 - 6286

Post your scores if mine is so "slow".

I already said mine was no benchmark buster, but its not "slow" by any means. Anyway I just finished my watercooling job on the video card over the weekend, and have had 0 problems with it.

 

[obso1337]

lmao, you PROCESSOR is slow not your whole computer, P4 is nothing in games and BARELY, i mean barely, beats a AMD at anything. from seen benches out of 32 a P4 can take maybe 7, video playback, audio encoding, not number crunching or gaming, and the stuff a P4 would beat a AMD it would be by a second, maybe 2 seconds in encrypting audio/video, if i ever build a PC for my skate videos i will have a P4 in it, AMD64 and AMDfx55/ amd64x2 are king of top end processing in games/other task. props on the watercooling thing, you must be proud you made it yourself just as i made my case and im proud of my case. and my 6800 GT unlocked and oc'ed owns your x850 PEtarded or whatever.

I agree with that. AMD is now stronger than ever & winning now in Dual Core by far & by over 85% in Multi-Media. AMD is now the Champ in Multi-Media & Video Encoding

 

[zAAm]

I agree as well... AMD is the king o'the hill . Nothing compares to their new X2 Dual Cores. And I believe that Intel is really worried at the moment. I think they should adopt a different strategy and lose the high clock, bad clock performance way of thinking. Their CPU's generate too much heat and suck up too much power while the're at it. And even Hyper Threading isn't going to save their asses. But obviously there are Pentium owners who'd probably disagree? (btw it's strange to note that 90% of the AMD vs. Intel discussions are started by the AMD guy exclaiming how much better his CPU is than the Intel... ) But isn't this is a bit off topic?? I still have to take some pics of my PC... Will share them as soon as I have time to take them.

PCmark 05 - 6531

You cant even post a link to back yourself up? Not saying your a liar or anything, but Futuremark does not even MAKE PCmark 05. And if thats a 3DMark score, you didn't own me by any means. 300 points is nothing, and isnt retarded as you put it. I dont know if you realize how you come off when you put someone down, but dude I hope you are more PC in RL than you are in here. I will no longer respond to your slack retarded flames. You own yourself AMD/Nvidia Fanboi, go for it.

[Morlak]

I Just started tweaking, and wow first time out gunning for your score obo, at least it might be yours. You still think you "own" me?

6509 3dMark05

I know AMD makes solid gaming CPUS, you fanbois do not have to preach. Its silly and shows you are inmature. I built this PC to be a PVR mainly (notice the tuner/capture card, and 800GB of space?). In any case I'll let my scores speak for themselves, and I'll always post a link.

I never said anything to you XP, I was talking to Obo. I did not start the flames, but I wont roll over either.

I could care less what the newest CPUs will do, what about YOURS, thats what we are showing here, our own, not web reviews. I dont have the latest CPU in my PC, do you?

lol you make me lewl with your distorted facts, YOU MAKE ME LEWL. im no fanboy, i just stick with whats faster in gaming/number crunching. is that a crime? well i dont know what sick country your in, its no crime here.

thank you, you see now morlak? intel gets owned (although they diddnt always used to get owned, and in 1993 and 1994 i used intel to play original dooms because they were better then). fact remains i bench higher, get better game performance, and have better number crunching/gaming processor. big deal you wont "respond to me" LMAO!!! ahhaha this is better than, something i cant think of...anyway facts remain. LMAO!

"fact remains i bench higher, get" what do you mean you bench higher? How much can you benchpress anyway. I can do around 225 lbs I think ?!?!

yes

Wrong Fanboi, 6598 3DMark05 on mine, without volt-mods or thermo-electric cooling yet either.

So my "retarted" video card beat yours. Lewl on that... fanboi.

I will concede the top scores today are all super-modded 6800 GTs with AMD CPUs. Just go on futuremark and take a look, and dont bother telling me. I can *&^$ing read for myself. I didn't build my PC to please your lame ass or anyone elses. It works very well for "me". "I" am very happy with the performance even though it may be a "slow" processor, in a "messy" case. You crack me up Fanboi.

Your machine is just like mine, way way way down the list. The top scores belong to people using SLI and super chilled cards and CPUs. Big whoop.

What distorted facts? You started this flame war, calling my video card retarded. Well it started before that when your only lame comment was "Messy case and slow processor". When you put someone elses work down, expect to be flamed Fanboi. What country I live in is also none of your biz dimwad.

I'll be honest with ya now Fanboi, when I first saw that lame as hell sticker on the side of your PC case, that reads "Intel Free blah blah blah", I knew right away you were a Fanboi. And please fix that PcMark05 score dude. FutureMark doesn't make PCMark05. I only hope you dont want to look any more retarded than you already do.

If you must know, I picked the CPU because of the new chipset features. I didn't want to have to buy a dual-cpu board to get more than 2 Gigs of RAM. The new Intel chipset supports 4 Gigs on single processor boards. The board also supports DDR2 memory, and has 1066Mhz FSB, which should let me upgrade to one of those EE processors one day if I want to. I wanted the memory for large video file editing. This board should have a few years of life in it, letting me upgrade the memory speeds as I get another "slow" CPU. It also plays games just fine.

I know you must be the kind of person that always must get in the last word, so until my next case mod, I wont be responding here, so you can have at it.... Fanboi

I have a Intel at the moment but I am going over to AMD cause I want better games. The Intels are fast but AMD is winning at the moment though. I like my Intel but I perfer something that will give better games. You guys got to chill a bit about what cpu people have. I'll get some pics of my rig once I pretty er up a bit.
