New parts! (loads of pics)

Yes, most good heatsinks come "lapped." Which is why lapping them is unnecessary. Did you have to buy extra long screws to get the Zalman to attach to the gigabyte mobo?

^cranky in the morning!....tell us what you want.

hehe, it's just a pet peeve of mine when people don't know the specs of their own PC and then post it in their sig.

I think he meant lap

I know, I was just pointing out Kof's mistake

I wouldn't say most, since quite a few don't. Even a lot of water cooling blocks don't come lapped.

I was shocked by the finish on these zalmans, my 9500 is almost as good.


btw, im at 3.8ghz and priming, working my way up to 4.0

 

[Kornowski]

That's awesome! What are the temps like?

 

[ThatGuy16]

right now im at 4.0ghz and running orthos, only about 20 minutes so far @ 1.28v!!

About 43*c load!

Wow!

 

[ThatGuy16]

[Geoff]

That is extremely good! These new Core 2's are really surprising me!

Im still in shock, orthos is still going. I set it to 1.28v thinking it wasn't going to be enough to get 5mins into orthos, so that i could start tweaking. And now its 45mins in

 

[Kornowski]

I don't like you very much right now...

 

[ThatGuy16]

I don't like you very much right now...

lol

Still going, 1hour 30mins!

 

[Kornowski]

No, I'm serious, Corey! I thought you were cool, man! It's over between us!

 

[dougland]

Two thumbs up for the pics, i always love seeing build pics.

 

[ThatGuy16]

Thanks

danny, your really going to hate me now

 

[mep916]

Are you going to go any higher?

 

[ThatGuy16]

Are you going to go any higher?

not sure yet, im sure i could get this thing higher stable, since its only at 1.28v. stock is 1.19-1.22

Exactly. Take your time...

[dougland]

What is a reasonable average temp for a processor?

 

[Ramodkk]

Corey, that looks awesome! and 4.0GHz! so it was true about the new C2D being so good at OC'ing.

I hope you enjoy your new toys.

Looks Nice, Corey! Enjoy it!

Send me your old MOBO and CPU, I need another build!

Nah, I asked first!
