My vid card

Here's my desk. Its a bit temporary as its in my parents house and I'm getting a new flat in a couple of month so a new desk will be acquired at some point. Anyway - here it is



Hope y'all like it

Whoa must have cost a bit! Very nice, I wouldn't quite upgrade to a X2 CPU yet though - I myself would invest in some cheap water cooling to cool that biatch down and perhaps even clock it a bit higher.

If you play Battlefield 2 alot, more ram will also be useful

Looks like there's a big black hole in your comp right where the CPU is when your case is illuminated.

Try and get somekinda lighting in there.

Yeah thats the panaflo fan - *drools* - its boring black tho

I'm going to get some UV paint and brighten it up a bit - probably orange to match the mobo and mix up the blue

As for w/c - I'm not getting it cause its a bit of a hassle and I'm a lazy ass!!

Dunno about the X2 - maybe my new Shuttle project will get in the way of it

If I can afford it I will either get an X2 or a San Diego Me wants the 1mb L2

EDIT: More RAM will come - eventually

Nice spec! Looks like it's rattling around a bit in that huge Stacker, though. You could fit some nice water-cooling or something in there (if you can ever be bothered )

I may one day. But my resources are going to be taken up by new flat and new Shuttle Intel project that I'm thinking about

Small update:

Just painted my fan with some UV paint. Bit of a bodge...hehe

Nah I shoved some on hoping for the "Industrial" look and I quite like it.

Soz for not amazing quality: phone cam



Coming next week: AMD X2 4400+

Coming Oct 14th (B'Day): Crucial Tracers 2 x 1gb

I like the UV fan.

How about doing a mockup of having the corners fully coloured in?

[bennywidag]

very nice, i also have a stacker and you have done well with this. where did you get that paint from ,could do that on the two 80mm ambers i have in the psu bay, or on my 3 radiator xinrulians

I actually got the paint off ebay cheap (search for UV orange paint .

www.kustompcs.co.uk also do it (think its the same wstuff) and do it in all sorts of colours

[kempez]

Couple of pics of maa new purchase (gotta stop spending cash for no reason )





Well I couldn't leave it at stock could I???



So I got it to 2640Mhz (11 x 240) after a little bit of playing with it. I'll have more time next week so I'll have a play and get it higher. One core is obviously not making great contact with the IHS as one seems to flake out at higher speeds. I'll play and get it higher - 2.8GHz and I'd be happy :yumyum:

Heh the cpu fan almost covers the whole top half of the motherboard , what are the temps like with that

Yeah its mounted on a Thermalright XP-120. Its a panaflo high speed fan (120cfn).

Temps on..

Stock Venice: 26°C idle, 34°C Load

Venice @ 2900: 34°C Idle, 45°C Load

Stock X2: 29°C Idle, 35-6C Load

X2 @ 2640: 36°C Idle, 48°C Load

So overall pretty damn good

My system is pretty loud tbh. I have the CM Crossflow fan running on full and the CPU fan is pretty loud when it all loads up. I can't stop OC'ing tho - so its my own fault

[kempez]

All Prime Stable now so not too bad. Still a bit hot. I really should get water.....
