New pic, epox 8kha+/AMD combo

[greg]

If anyone is wondering about this combo or looking for a fan etc., I finally bought it and I'm very pleased. Cheap, no need for a monster HSF and quiet. BTW, I also tried a 8045 on this and it gave me no higher overall overclocking success. The stock Coolermaster 6131for $6.50 is a steal and quite effective. But, if you think that 45-46C max temp is too hot, go for some better cooling.

Here a pic


Case


The front fan keeps the two hds cool to the touch at all times.

Suggest u keep those cables tidy up. U'll get better airflow.

What bios you running on the Epox board?

Or do what I did replace all cables with rounded ones,they look so much neater.

Yeah, I thought of that, and I do have the CDRW cable splined down and zipped. However, I'm kinda pragmatic about the whole thing. I don't to spend money or do extra work where it won't help at all to fix a problem. Here, the airflow is way more than sufficient with the 2 intakes and exhaust fans, plus the dual fan PS. I actually ran the system without the front intake or side intake fan and over about 2 hours of full CPU load and the temp difference was only 1C.

BIOS?

The latest L00 bios. I run it on Turbo settings and the RAM seems to be fine at that speed.
