[yahooadam]

Ok ive filled in all the values, so its install hardware, reinstall windows, reinstall software

post pics and benchmarks ;)

[AzN]

I dont see any pictures...............

[Avid6eek]

..waiting on the pictures as well.

[Zefram]

run the default test and upload your result to Futuremark ORB......... and give us the link to the score......
This way you could prove the authenticity of the score :D

This is because, we have many jokers out there who claim to have those super-high-end GPU and CPU, but heck, they dont!
For long time viewers of this forum, you might remember a fella who claimed to have FX-55 but when we ask for the benchies link and pics he dissappear!

P/S : Yahooadam, run the benchmark in default mode, the resolution set to 1024X768 and no FSAA. Submit your score to futuremark and give the link to westy or avid6eek, they'll put your score on the 3D Mark standing thread ;)

[yahooadam]

Ok ill look into that

The pics are to come soon

Im at college atm so i have computer access :p

I got my computer to the bios this morning, but i had to remove 2 of the memory dimms to get it to boot

otherwise it was just a blank screen

when i get home ill try to mix and match, hopefully get 768mb

2 are single sided and 1 is double, i think the doubles causing problems, i thought it only did if it was in dual channel, obviously not ....

God it took ages to build lol :p

I also put the corded stuff onto the psu cables to tidy them a bit, that took like 2 hours lol

[yahooadam]

Ok well i have windows installed now :)

Im just installing all the drivers and such, then more programmes after that

I will then take the last photos, and put my case back together :p

[yahooadam]

Ok just a lil update :)

got most of the programmes i need on (all that i can remember ...)

Installed a few games, bf2 next lol

The pics i took are 2.5mb each, so i need to get photoshop on

Unfortunetly there are 50mb of pics (down from the original 100mb) so it will take me a lil while to get it on

This mobo is kool, but has alot of stuff in it that is quite irratating lol, like the front pannel connectors being 1cm too short to reach the headers <_<

[-=CrAnSwIcK=-]

I murdered your 3Dmark03 score with a willamette celeron 1.7 and a 9600pro....

It'll be a nice change from what you had...

[yahooadam]

Its great :p

The motherboard nice and confusing so thats all fun

I waz playing css getting 120-200 fps on max settings,which waz sweet, even on compound i waz at above 100 so that waz kool

And bf2 is no longer laggy, there are tiny bits, but i think thats cos i woz playing on a ************************ty us server :p

And i dont get lagg bringing up the commander menu - which rox :p

[chris000001]

you need to work on your wire managment a lil bit... other than that...it looks pretty sweet

[yahooadam]

yeh i know :p

i just aint had the time

took 2 days to get the freeking thing going, and ive got college and stuff to do, so when i get a day i will tidy all that up :p

u remember my last cable tidying :p

Edit:
id love to get a UV light in there, cos most of the system is UV reflective :p

But then id need a case with a side panel, and id need to move it away from the wall l..... :lol:

[Zefram]

Got few question though:
#1 : You only have 1 stick of RAM? Why your sig shows 2? Running both will increase performance due to the dual-channel memory architecture of socket 939's AMD64!

#2 : PC2700@DDR333 RAM will bottleneck your system termendously............

[yahooadam]

If you look at the final pic there are 2 sticks

I had to spend ages trying to get the damn ram working, it would not work in dual channel, atlall


#2 : PC2700@DDR333 RAM will bottleneck your system termendously............
Aye, i wanna get some ocz dual channel plat 2 kit, however thats another £100 and thats pretty steep .....

[Avid6eek]

I added your Aquamark score to the list of benchmark standings. If you can post the 'compare' 3DMark scores I will post those as well.

The pics are looking great....the wiring needs a little work, but everything else looks awsome. :)

[yahooadam]

im downloading the free version of 3dmark03 now

so that i can run the standard tests

Should i change my resolution or any of the settings, or leave them all as defaults ??

[Avid6eek]

3DMark will run at the default setting it has set. Basically all you have to do is run it w/o changing anything.

thats just under 6.5x higher !!!

[gokusimpson]

Nice build. Overclock that thing and beat me.

[yahooadam]

that stock speeds

im wondering if i can OC, due to the insane NB temps at stock ....

[yahooadam]

Right gonna start OC/ing

Although, if people could tell me more info about timings

dividers

and general overclocking that wud be kool ...

cmon push it more hehe, i think your ram is the one bottlenecking everything u need to get some sweet TCCD ram. my winchester and KT800 is beating yours hehe, in 2 months ill upgrade my gfx and mobo hehe

[chris000001]

up grade the ram to sum PC-4000
Like what i have the OCZ PC-4000 1 GB kit voltage extreme

you'd beable to get sum sweet overclocks with that stuff, or get what avid has.

With the ram i have i got my P4 up to 3.4ghz but that was borrowing a friends power supply...i need to get me a nice one so i can oc my comp more

[gokusimpson]

Ditto...hehe..cept for the upgrading and KT800 parts hehe.

Just hopin' for some water cooling so I can cool this thing down and make it STFU.

sorry for not replying

Email notification on the forum seems to be flakey

Anyway, i would push this further, however as my NB is at 56 degrees idle, and i dont wanna take the fan above 5k rpm otherwise it sounds like a jet engine

I gotta wait till i can sort out some better cooling on it :(

[Stone Fox]

I just bought a kit from ebuyer - A round UV reactive IDE lead & floppy cable and a cold cathode tube.

The cold cathode tube worked for about half an hour... :(

Nice rig though. (apart from the spagetti... :) )

its a bit different now after i sleeved the PSU

hopefull i can get some time to work on it and sort out the absolute mess it is

however it might not happen cos its a mess due to alot of the wires only just reaching their positions ;)

[AKHandyman]

So your current sig is what you're running? How about some more pics? Would love to see how you're doing... ;)

maybe tommorow

i should have some time tommorow to sort out the mess in the case

And yes the stuff in my Sig is my Rig :)

and it Rox, apart from the NB fan

try OCing the video card, what have u got that up to, that will effect the score greatly, i had my 6800GT at 435mhz/1.2ghz

[yahooadam]

how can i test stability of the GFX card and whats a good tool for it ?

[yahooadam]

Well i oced the GFX card, using the tool that came with my card (v-tuner 2)

core = 400 (from 350)
memory = 1175 (from 1000)

stability tested with CS:S

old FPS - 123.59
new FPS - 129.86

Edit
Core 413 (maxed)
memory 1175

FPS 130.36
