The Official PC building thread -3rd Edition

Not at all, as long as you're conservative, +0.1V is fine.

 

ok thanks

 

Congrats on your success Robo...I'm glad to see your enjoying your new Q9550 looks like it's doin well on that gigabyteplatform...
can't wait to see how it's does on another of your choice mb's
I may do some testing of my own tomorrow with mine if..I fill like it
I'm working with this vista ultimate 64 bit at the present time to see if..I like it or not and if it works out with all my programs.. I use ,right it's running on one of my spare WD160 sata..i got laying around so far so good if everything works it will be on the rebuild of the CM 590 with my other 16mb cache WD drive...if not i'll try windows 7 instead...

proof is in the pudding

Sorry for mess on my desk the box is blocking my view to my screen...lol


You know the bad thing is I spent alittle More on my E6750 back in the day and got this Quad less see how prices drop if you just wait
hopefully..I'll get around to some testng (out the case) I'll take some pics

 

mistake

 

mmm...Russ was you quoting me my friend...i think you sliped and thought is was Rob...I'm the one that's trying out vista ultimate...lol only problem i having so far is with(peer guardian)
I'm having this issue with it
http://filesharefreak.com/2008/04/01/peerguardian-ip-blocking-for-windows-vista/

i've tryed to do what they suggested but it seem not to work for me so that right may turn me away from it all together of using it unless I can come up with a way of getting peer guardian to work...

 

Hey bigwill,
Yeah, I boobed. I guess I was tired. The Photo group kind of overwhelmed me! I changed the post!

Best Regards,
Russ

P.S.
You know my feelings on Vista! I'm still loving this 64 bit XP-Pro. It runs everything real nice!

 

Will: You can try win7 for free, I think the RC is still open - all you need is a windows live account (such as a hotmail email account)
It's funny about the CPU prices - I too can relate, though perhaps a little further back, my Q9550 is the most I've paid for a CPU (I imported it from the US because back then it was the only way to get an E0 stepping) but only just, it cost about £20 more than my X2 4200+ did in June 2006.

 

here ya go Creaky take a look at this one.

oh this bad boy is smokin fast at 3.61gb. i can add plenty of vcore to it still to get more out of it, but i think my mem might be holding me back now, if i try to take it higher. ddr2 800 just isnt gonna cut it. i have it running at 850mhz now i might be able to get thsi crucial stuff to run at 900mhz but not gonna push it..lol i can put in the mushkin mem that i got back and i know that will run at 1066 but am waitng on the new mobo.

 

3.61GB FTW

 

800mhz is a limiting factor above 3.4Ghz, so to reach 3.61 is reasonably good.

 

Well my Results are in on this Old Board p35c I'm kinda glad kept it around for a backup board...I wanted to check it first to see what it would do,Rob is right this Quad is Smok'in nothing add all at auto setting running 64 bit Xp Pro Tests where done on External case was not included...lol nexts week its the I45 turn to see it act with the Quad Jumper...Pics to follow

all said and done the Q9550 is back in the box resting waiting on
the next test with I45 hoping to do well

Have Fun
Building

 

I love the shiny board and RAM and the reasonable cooler with the 1980s looking graphics card - with one PCIe slot filled and a P45 chipset you should see a pretty good FSB out of that chip. Right now I'm happy to stick with 3.65 - 3.8 requires a hefty NB voltage that I can't sustain for long.

 

now what wrong with our 1980's GPU's...lol you know were not gamers like yourself...lmao!!!!

but sam we are looking at getting bigger better GPU's
im looking at this what ya think? i an get it at microcenter on sale i think it still is for $99.

@Will
you might want to remember to change your TJ max in real temp. it is 105 not 100.

 

one of these here will be my choice hav'en made my mind up yet...
but i do like the his cause of the copper cooling pipes that can be modifyed later if...I want to

thanks for letting me known on the temp issue Robo...i'll change that up the nexts time around atlease we known we don't have to mess with the volts until we go passed 3.5Ghz's it holds it's own at auto and don't use that much to get to 3.5 now my friend what chip should we get get nexts when goe's on sale?...lol I wished that E8600 would drop it's been high for the longest time that joker still at $269 at the egg and micro center never bought none in there stores to sell...

 

The GTS250 is quite powerful, but pricey for what it is. HD4850s can be had for $100, HD4870s for $130 ($120 after rebate in some cases) - for the money I'd definitely take the HD4870, if you wanted to save a bit you could get the 4850.
The E8600 is still the same price because nothing has bettered it. Until it has competition, there's no reason for its price to be lowered. If I had to upgrade I think I'd set my sights on getting a QX9650 off ebay. They're only C1, but with an 11x multiplier you can have it at 4.4Ghz with bone stock settings on your motherboard!

 

all I forgot to say thanks for comment on my shiny board and my G.Skill and my reliable(dependable) lapped cooler the same cooler
my E8400 hit 4.5Ghz on at 51c stressed and 27c idle until the my 212 hyper took over mmm thanks greensman where you maybe my friend and the graphic card is a 2008 model Rev 1.0
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130313
tested to comply with fcc standards...lol made in china like walmart
don't laugh it was a starter card and a spare part now like so many other spare parts i got around my house for computers that nobody has saw...

have fun
building

 

I've yet to see an unreliable cooler (apart from perhaps liquid nitrogen...haha) but I know what you meant. I'm well aware the card is modern, it wouldn't fit a PCI express slot otherwise, but still, it is chalk and cheese compared to the rest of the build

 

Well folks, it seems that Gigabyte is going to replace my 790GP-UD4H with a 790X-UD4P, just like I requested. I lose the On Board Graphics, but gain a couple of Sata ports and a few other goodies. I'll have to wait on them getting their next shipment, but it's still working aside from the video problems that happen with the PCI-e card and the On board. I can live with that for the next week or two! I'm happy!
