I have 5 of those sitting in my room

I have to sell them for someone, I am going to see if I can keep one of them for me too

Then I will need to buy a motherboard, RAM, GFX card and everything else cuz none of my stuff is compatible

And I just got a new 256MB Radeon X1600pro AGP........

Oh well, guess I could sell my old stuff.

Let us know how it performs

Lukas · Post by **Lukas** » Fri May 19, 2006 9:26 pm

i suggest you upgrade your ram to atleast 512 mb

Xaltar · Post by **Xaltar** » Sat May 20, 2006 6:19 am

Thats my graphics card

and the 1mb mentioned is just the level 2 processor cache.

My PC is

CPU - P4 3.0e @ 3.6
RAM - 1GB Corsair TwinX XMS3200XLPro 2 x 512 kit
HDD - 200GB Seagate barracuda (SATA)
HDD2 - 60GB Maxtor
HDD3 - 40GB Seagate
SND - Soundblaster Live! 5.1
DVD - Aopen Dual layer DVD +/- RW
PSU - Qtec gold 400w dual fan.
MB - Generic piece of junk VIA M955
GFX - 256mb Sapphire X1600PRO AGP @ 600 core / 900 mem
Case - custom modded with 6 120mm silent fans
SPK - Creative Labs Inspire 6600 6.1s
I am a PC tech, I know my way arround a build

Back on topic, Koshaw, you should be able to get that CPU to arround 3.6 on stock cooling. Check out the ZALMAN CNPS9500 HSF review here
With that you should be able to get the kind of clocks mentioned in the reveiw you posted. Be sure you get the fastest RAM you can afford and that you get a good brand of motherboard, ASUS, ABIT, DFI, Gigabyte or even MSI. An intel board is good but it has no overclock functionality. Power supply is also key, you should get a good brand and make sure it has +/- 20amps on the 12 volt rail. With all that you should get a really nice OC. You may want to duplicate the specifications Toms Hardware used for their review, they obviously work well with that CPU

Nice system ;)

AGP is the issue. I bought the card just to tide me over till my new system.

I will be going for a Gigabyte GA-G1975X
4GB OCZ Platinum DDR2 1000
2 x 512mb HIS IceQ2 Turbo Radeon X1900XTXs in crossfire
And an 805d as mentioned above tho I will be OCing over 4ghz
Water cooled obviously.

Koshaw · Post by **Koshaw** » Tue May 23, 2006 4:19 pm

Hey bud, what water cooling system ya feel is best?

Or how are the Peltier Cooler cases btw?

Xaltar · Post by **Xaltar** » Tue May 23, 2006 5:38 pm

Not sure what I am getting yet, still lookin into it. I will let you know once I decide.

Peltier Cooler cases? If you have the $$ then a Lian Li peltier case would be awesome ;)

Koshaw · Post by **Koshaw** » Thu May 25, 2006 3:23 pm

Is there a super power supply you can recommend with dual 12 volt rails and one of them having 30 amps on it?

Short Tail · Post by **Short Tail** » Tue May 30, 2006 1:29 am

Good news guys, not only did I fry my PSU, but I got my MoBo as well! Go me!

Short Tail · Post by **Short Tail** » Tue May 30, 2006 11:00 pm
