All Cased Up!

You have good taste, my friend. I've had my eye on that unit for months. :)

Haha, It's an awesome little thing! It's nice knowing how many watts you're using and stuff. I have the temp sensors on my HDD's at the moment, that's cool, too. Pun intended! :P

Are you going to get one?

Very nice man you gonna try over clocking at all?

Thanks! :) I'm going to OC the CPU at some point, Yeah.

i would say voltmod the cards, if you do it right, you can get them up to gtx 280 performance with only a lack of ram, but thats luck of the draw on the card, anyway, if you're going to use a case, i guess i'll have to either get a lian li case or one of these: http://www.murderbox.com/

Erm... I already have a case, but thanks.

Cheers, Derek!

For sure, man! :D

Looks like i can't join that Club. :(

Finally Danny, what took you so long? :P

Well, I got used to it being just, on my desk, lol. I like it better in the case now though!

Voltmodding would allow higher clocks (and increased heat), but higher GTS clocks do not equal GTX 280 performance.

I dunno yet. Maybe after I get a full tower case. In the future, I'd like to watercool and go with a full ESA setup, so if I do that, I probably wouldn't need that controller, as I'd likely have something ESA related.
 
Kornowski said:
Ah right, That sounds pretty cool. You think you could push your Q9450 much more?

I'm too impatient to really work on it. Know what I mean? I'd like to get it to boot at a 500 FSB...just to do it, but I don't think it's gonna happen. :P

Haha, totally! That would be pretty sick... you should try it, put, say... 1.6v through it, for kicks! :P

I've gone as high as 1.5, though I think it has more to do with the other voltages, namely the GTL Ref voltages. I've found some good info on GTL at xtremesystems, so I may give it another go this weekend. I'd like F@H stability at 3.8, but I'm not too optimistic.

That's mad! We you running 24/7 on 1.5v?

That'd be a nice clock, let me know how that goes! :)

I want to try and get around 3.2 on mine...
 
Kornowski said:
Does 1.4 sound Ok for 24/7 use, I've heard that's what some Q6600's will need to get like 3.4Ghz.

Don't see anything wrong with that; although, with the G0 chip, you should be able to reach that speed at a lower voltage. I'd start at 1.4 then lower the voltage until you notice instability.

Right, Ok, sure... Thanks!

Nice, so.. you got any 3dmark runs yet? :P

:o I did... I only got 11,500. Something is definitely up there!

its awsome! i love everything, especially the zalman thing on the front. :)

Thanks! :D
 
Hehe, on the picture with the dirt bike in the back, I thought you really brought it there and took a picture :D

Until I noticed your room :(
