The official post your computers picture thread!

Yes, I have a hard time getting the 3Dmark programs to run in crossfire mode period. 702/810 with 1.35v core and MV @ 2.16v Is what runs stable. Still tiring to find the magic combination. ATItool is useless for overclocking any more so its just trial and error. However most games and 3D programs run fine in crossfire. I get board with running the damn bench's over and over so after awhile I just quit and go play games. lol
 
amen brother!!! LOL
 
that makes sense, lol your rig is pimpin anyways and I guess the extra performance would be merely bragging rights, there nothing that rig won't play as is.

pelt cooled and stock on the cards? now thats a first. lol
it's odd your 05 score is a hair above mine but your 06 score is quite a bit larger, wierd check it out

have you tried ocing the cards? sems you could hit 16k in 05 on a set of pelt cooled x1800xt's

lol Im such a dullard - I clicked on this and thought "wow, he's compared this to the the exact same system as me, what a coincidence". Then of course I realised I was already logged into ORB and it WAS my sysytem it was comparing. :ohwell: *retreats to a darkened room, contemplates thinking things through a bit more*
 
hmm.....maybe i'll put some pics up of prowler...got some cosmetics to change first tho.
 
Ive built 2 computer and they look like hell compared to these. Wow those are super nice how did you keep your wife from killing you while you tweaked and built these bad boys. My wifed almost killed me twice the last time. My main problem is wire control and getting parts that acutually work like they say they do. Is it better to use a full tower case for more room when building a water cooled system?
 
Yes that is a problem, lol. I have confiscated the kitchen table to work on them and she's not a happy camper. Just give her an ABC catalog and the credit card to keep her quite.

Yeah thanks for the complement on my set up. The pic is a little old now cuz I just recently added a Razer copperhead mouse to my system and also changed to a fx5200 video card.

This picture is my new mouse though.

Copperhead rules, I'll never use another mouse. Just wish it had the buttons from the diamondback, the side buttons are a little hard to reach.
 
It's a little messy, I haven't had time to arrange my wires or clean my desk. My specs are over <---- there. The side fan is LED and it has a LED system in the front portholes at the bottom. I really love the way the drives attach inside, it uses a quick connect system that dosen't require screws. It had one for the cards, but I took it off because my X1800 wouldn't fit under it.

Posted these in another thread, per request (Zekhraminator was curious)

See subject-line/title above, & the photos below (not the best, kind of rushed because of request).

My LATEST system, details in signature below: "THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE"

APKNewSystem2Pic1.jpg


Thus, "the mystery ends" on what my system in my signature looks like etc.!

(As is, it could use some work on "aesthetics"! I still need to learn to hide cables better, imo @ least... some of the ones in the gallery lately? WAY way neater!)

Also, E.G.-> I have to add cold cathode lights (2 imo top & bottom), a new lit fan (replacing my top rear exhaust 120mm/5" fan you see now in the TOP photograph) I have just picked up, & I have to dust that lower set of fans that hookup near the Promise 128mb RAM EEC type Caching RAID 0 Controller (w/ Intel SuperIO chip onboard).

The ONLY part that remains, has yet to be released to the public: The DDRDrive x1 PCI-e ramdisk board:

DDRdriveX1_Prototype.jpg


Replacing the CENATEK SSD you see in the bottom (top photo) of my current system & so I can put it back where it came from, my 2nd P4 3.2ghz SQLServer2005/IIS6.x ASP.NET-VB.NET development lab rig...

Better bus (PCI-e x1 vs. PCI 2.2) & ram types (DDR1, vs PC-133 SDRAM) used, & thus, faster performer (seeks are still unreal on the older CENATEK "RocketDrive" though, & defrags in less than 1 second though on this one even)!

:)

That? That will be the "icing on this rig's cake" imo...

APK

P.S.=> An OLDER SYSTEM I posted here about (GeForce4 Ti4600 "radical mod" I did is in it (posted it in another thread in fact), old DualCPU Pentium III 1ghz rig)

APKGeForce4ModOLDDuallieP3.jpg


You guys can see, you've been a "GOOD INFLUENCE" on me, as I used to build what I call "sleeper rods" (hotrodding is in my blood, lol, & where the term comes from) that were messes inside, but FLEW... apk
