[jc9970]

Well, here she is. Recently finished building my new rig, and shes running fairly well.

Thanks to all who helped me on deciding on what parts to purchase.


Pics!

I got her running stable @ 250x10 and at great temps. Hopefully if I have time this week, I'll see if I can push her further.

Anyhow here are the specs

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400 @250x10
DFI Lanparty UT Ultra-D
Mushkin Redline XP4000 1GB x 2
Saphire X1800XT 512mb @ stock
Thermalright Si120 w/ 120mm Panaflo AS5
Antec p180
Antec TruePower 2.0 TP2-550 EPS12V
Pioneer DVR-110D

So far its running great. I'm very impressed with it. I've only been able to test out WOW, and some Quake 4 (looks amazing on Ultra), still in the process of installing my other games. Cant wait to try out FEAR.

Thank you all for the compliments ,

The Si120 is awesome. By far the best heatsink I have ever owned. I don't make it past 36c at full load .

Hehe, well it sure is keeping my temps down . The DFI board is great, excellent layout, had no problems with it whatsoever (knock on wood).

Nice job, wiring looks great.

 

[EPZ Soldier]

Sweeeeeeeeeet !!! I love seeing pixs of builds! But, that machine looks like it would rock!

 

[feelingshorter]

that heatsink looks HUGE....i want one

 

[Genx87]

At first I couldnt believe the size of that HS fan. But is it just a 120mm fan stuck on top a massive heat sink?

 

[iamtorax]

That is pretty badass, but don't you want the fan blowing the other way as in this picture?

Thanks again for all the comments all

I'll definitely turn the fan around and see if it improves cooling. It might actually cool my Redlines too .

 

[iamtorax]

Yes, those redlines should benifit from some active cooling! Awesome system!

 

[Trente]

great rig, nice pics!

 

[DfiDude]

Where did u get the mushkin redline ram from?

 

[eXx08]

All that and no sound card? Why not?

Its on its way, I ordered the X-FI Platinum ... I had no choice anyway, the audio module that comes with my DFI board didnt fit because of my exhaust fan. Luckily I have the Plantronics DSP 500's which dont require a sound card.
