My 5850's are coming monday!

I think you'll be very impressed with them, I've been very impressed with my HD5 series card (HD5670). The power usage, especially at idle, is almost unbelievable, at load it uses only slightly more than the 8800GT did at idle. And it's sillllent

Luckily my Refurbished Linksys has been going for about 1.5 years now. No complaints.

Convinced my girlfriend to let me make her laptop crunch when she's not using it. Hopefully my numbers will improve, we'll see.

okay i'm gonna go pick up a cheap 1366 board in a few hours so i can get the i7 up and running, cant wait any longer.

the post office fucked up the transport from one end of the countru to the other:-O so i wont have my SLI LE until monday

so my temp rig is gonna be open box with this one http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1796

I have now replaced a fried ASUS 775 board and hence added a new E8400 stock clock chruncer (don't tell my wife, its her PC). It used to be a dedicated folder but due to bad airflow it have to either folding or chrunching. I'm still waiting for my GIGA X58 to return from RMA for some serious PPD.

nope not at all, bet im happy that its only the board that is getting messed up, there are loads of boards for sale, but no i7s,

 

[hat]

Routers are relatively cheap. I recently bought this one for my aunt.

[(FIH) The Don]

reminds me that i need a router, pretty annoying that i have to put in a netcard and share my connection when i have friends visiting

 

[(FIH) The Don]

Oh snap!!!!

just see what i got

never used, still in foil thing.

You may want to set the CPU usage to something less than 100%, my experience is most laptops tend to run hot if you have WCG on them

 

[Radical_Edward]

It's a Toshiba, so it runs okay, but I didn't plan at running it at 100% anyways. Not even my main rig does most of the time, as I'm normally patching something/downloading at night.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

so here is the temp rig, all set up and installed

will have it crunching 24/ as soon as i have a stable overclock, tryning to go for some, 3.5-3.9 maybe,

Looks awesome Don!

 

[(FIH) The Don]

thx man, its good to have some sort of rig again, what a hassle to get it working.

but its all good now

 

[mstenholm]

Good luck with the OC. Is it duct tape I see on the table? All purpose but should not be needed on a new rig, or . Take my old Abit P35 - I had to check another CPU in it which forced me to removed the cooler (cheap plastic mount) and now it keeps falling of. My case is now laying down, but duct tape came into my mind.

OC' on and let's see 4500 PPD from this rig DON with or without the tape.

So my X4 955 does run stable @ 3.6ghz on stock voltage...but it is significantly louder & hotter than my current setting @ 3.4ghz where I have things undervolted, so I'm just going to stick with 3.4ghz for now, and be glad that I have a chip that OCs and UVs at the same time. I can't UV enough at 3.6ghz to make a difference (Errors in LinX and Prime95 quickly), which is a shame, but 3.4ghz is still pretty good IMO

 

[(FIH) The Don]

first run at 3.6, was pretty stable

 

[mstenholm]

A bit on the warm side. Your need to open a window to run it at 3.8 Ghz 24/7. Voltages is nice low for a C stepping I most say!

Edit: What does realtemp and HW-monitor say about the temps?
