My New Rig (at last)

[Russ]

FINALLY! i have upgraded my pc, its been two years since i bought my XP1700+, which i ran at 2.3 for over 20 months (<3 AMD), but 70degree temps on fullload when my aero7 spinning fast enough to lift a 747 off the tarmac really "grinds my gears". So i finally bought the following :

Old :
NF7-S v2.0
XP1700+ JIUHB

New :
Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra 939
Opteron 146 CABNE 0545

Still only got 2x256 Corsair XMS3500 rev1.1 though, so thats next on the list, aswell as replacing my 9800.

without too much messing got 2.8 out of the CPU at 1.4v which im happy about, would like some better ram before i try for 3 though.

Sweet mate NIce OC esp on those volts

Now ya need some Ballistix 2gb (2 x 1gb) and a nice G70 or x1800

[Russ]

Cheers matey.

Yep RAM is deffo next, 512 + bf2 is awful, but it plays so much smoother now then it did on my athlon, its impossible to describe.

Good results there. I couldn't decide between the Opteron and the X2........

What cooling are you using currently?

[Russ]

Akasa AK-862

[Russ]

has anybody got any recomendations for RAM by the way? would prefer 2x512, and something that clocks well.

[Noni]

GeiL ONE clocks well.

Get some 2GB of you can buget it, just wish i got mine for christmas but bloody PCMU managed to post it a day too late for christmas (it was being RMAd) apparently they had a "new account system just been implemented"

[Russ]

well i'd get 2x512 then 2x512 again at a later date nvening

running 4 sticks will force 2T cmd... but unless u fancy benchies.. 2T and 1T difference is bollocks anyways..
