Hi,

So my Friend is buying All this stuff for me due to my Car Accident that happened 3 years ago and I'm unable to walk for now

Anyways here's the MB and Video Card I'm going to be using



It'll have 4GB of RAM (8 coming later) and it'll have a Quad-core CPU @2.4 OC to 3.1 *Hopefully

I remember good old Core 2 Quad, in my case it was 8400 Yorktown and a DDR2 board ... I gave it away and it is being used right now and as I hear Skyrim is running barely around 35 fps
 
Is there any question?....
 
No just a build I plan on building and posting pictures. I know other web forum I got banned from for reasons I don't know why...
 
looks good for start, you want to run retro or something?

just feel free to ask something, and dont worry TPU admin wont eat you alive, so you are pretty good here
 
Umm ha I plan on running old games on it in the future yeah
 
What GPU do you plan to use

A buddy of mine had the same cpu up until two years ago. Everything new ran fine, not to mention skyrim. The issue there is probably the gpu.

probably my 750ti 2GB cause once I'm fully better I plan on upgrading my CPU and GPU on my Mini-itx system in my specs. A 1050ti and a i5 4460

Gotta read fps in Riverwood, it was from 30 to 40 fps ... it has some kepler gtx 660 if I remember correctly .... it was pretty balanced machine on the low end

For years i had a 775 cpu sitting in my old bathroom. Specifically on the back of my toilet believe it or not, it was a real $hitty CPU...iirc it was a P4.

i know its a bad joke, but its the truth as well, except it was a good CPU, for its time
 
And this afternoon we build new MB and some pci-e cards

Note: that's the old one lol

Erm 775 P4s=Preshott, it wasn't till C2D that brought Intel away from garbage of non P6 architectures.
 
Getting things done

 
My friend has bought all I needed coming December 27th, new ram 4 or 8 Gigs in Dual, replacing the big Cooler a with a smaller standard one, and that's it.

On a previous thread I posted ram errors and first I was transferring files from my HDD USB and after 10min it gave BSOD or froze *At times

Here's the issue I'm having with my server. The pixel related artifacts while a movie plays happens like every 10mins or so and doesn't with my main rig. I tried the Intel Sync transcode settings with no help. So what gives...

Happens with Plex and Emby

My Server Rig: Intel 775 Q6600 Stock | 4GB RAM PC800 | nVidia 710 2GB | 450GB/750GB HDDs All Movies MP4 @720P

The P5G41-M is my current. The P5Q is my upgrade and the Q9650 is my cpu upgrade - Plus 8GB GSkill ram 1066​
 
Nice upgrade man, I would love to build a high end 775 socket system
 
Yeah. Hopefully that board has better OC settings then my current one. Just some basic Profile 5-15% OC which fails due to the Stock HS?! only @48... I have a better HS coming tomorrow so and the RAM. I'm going to be using this as my 720P video Server with Emby and Plex. For now I use my main rig for my Server. Above you can see while I tested the Rig it has the Pixel'related issues

That issue is probably due to the cpu as plex nor Emby use the GPU but rather the cpu

That graphics card is seriously holding back your gaming performance, even on such an old CPU. If you can upgrade it at all it will really help.

Am I right in saying that being mini-ITX your system case can't take large cards though?

Hope you get well soon and can walk again. :)
 
Thanks man and the mini itx case can only fit mitx gpus. Thanks to Linus for showing off this case ATT (At the Time) lol and well hopefully that cpu and MB will OC Well. About my leg... The botox may not help as before this I could sit for hours and my leg wouldn't turn blue but now it turns blue in mins. probably due to the metal rod in my leg. I'm just glad to be alive guys

I also plan to upgrade my HP 8460P to 8GB 2X4GB RAM and a I7 2670QM. I feel bad for my friend doing this for me. He was my Brother's best friend R.I.P I'm sure I'd pay him back somehow though
