Nice pics! Just need some 140mm in their! :D

My P5Q deluxe looks really busy compared to that Pro, and it hasnt really got a lot more on it.

Looking forward to seeing your results.

I'm waiting till tomorrow for pics, has taken me all day just to get Physx working, and pics wont look so good now its getting dark.

Might take a night pic of the green glow tho....

haha - well it seems my Premium was to fault, sat on a 3.2Ghz overclock, 1.32V as stable as anything.

Until i get my external working, however, I cant install '06, COD:4 (my profile is saved on it) , etc etc.

Silly question probably, but have you tried the external on another computer?

Also .... SWEEEET .... although I must confess to being somewhat dissapointed .... no tea? :shadedshu

Ive sorted it - stripped the drive out of its external enclosure, and it was basically connected via a sata / sata power cable to usb adapter thingy. Pulled the drive off its tray, ripped the adapter off, and its currently hanging out my pc via a sata cable. Getting everything off it just in case (30GB Of movies and other videos (;))) but thank god my COD profile is safe!

oh and red, ill answer you in like 3 minutes . . .

Glad that's sorted! Made me think .... so am currently looking at buying a 1TB WD HDD. Backing up is starting to sound like one of the best ideas ever!!

I thought, seeing as how pretty much everything in the photo is red, I didn't need to write my name!!



I'd like to point out that the mug is dark red, but I'm having to use terrible lighting to be able to see anything under my desk, especially as it's dark now!

The tea is for Kyle, and that OCZ RAM cooler is the one I bought off Moonpig only the other week!! (Temporarily out of the case.)
I'll have to dedicate the red Antec 1200 side panel to Alex for making the club!!

Lol. Love it!!

Sorry for the picture quality, it's been taken on my K850i with poor lighting and rather rushed!!

Kyle, remember to keep active cooling on that north bridge. They get hot on the P5Q series (I have had the vanilla P5q, and the P5Q pro and both had very warm north bridges). I have an 80 mm fan sitting on my video card cooling the north bridge. I hope you get past 500 FSB!
:toast:

I have mine at 450 FSB and it would get very hot until I sat an 80 mm Antec fan on my top vodeo card. Now it isn't even warm to the touch. When I get the time, I will make a video at 400, 450, and 500 FSB with and without the fan and compare the temperatures. I would just fell your north bridge during a Prime95 test, and if it is very hot, point a fan at it.

That is how I have mine set up. (sorry to late in the day for coffee :p)

That Maximus Forumla is damn nice looking, broken or not, it still looks awesome!!

If I get a new mobo (Will be next month at the earliest now :( ) I'll make sure there's a cup of tea in my red mug in at least a few of the shots!!

Nice pics everyone!

Sorry to disappoint you though, I dont really have a drinking preference so to speak. I dont really follow any routines or patterns, I decide on stuff as I go, like I dont have a definitive music taste.

If I feel hungry, I'll go eat, thirsty I'll go drink, depends on what I feel like at the time as to what I have. Same as music, if I like it I'll turn it up, might even buy it.

I do have my own mug when I do have tea or hot chocolate (coffee is disgusting), its a big blue Yorkie mug, will take a pic next to my rig when I finally finish clearing up.

@red268, what Firmware you running on the K850i? Old firmwares have a tendancy to produce pink pictures :)

@DarkEgo, The P45's are quite cool NB's, you shouldnt need to actively cool them, mine is on 33*C, and is only a luke warm to the touch.

@Moonpig, that Maximus looks sweet, shame it runs at 85*C!

@kyle2020, was it the USb controller that was broken or jsut a loose connection then?

Glad to see this thread is working out well! Has got a better response than my last idea of TPU cribs. :rolleyes:

Maybe my overclock just makes it run warm. I don't know but mine is quite warm (even hot) to the touch.
