Pics of my 1 Month old system :)

*sign*, the PSU cable mess It seems to be impossible to tidy up all the cables BOoOO!

Here are the spec:

AMD A64 3400 OCed to 2.55Ghz
1 GB Crucial Ballistix PC4000 RAM
Alpha Pal 8015T Heatsink
Audigy 2 ZS Soundcard

Seagate Cheetah 15.3K 73GB HD
LSI Logic 21320 U320 SCSI Controller
Maxtor 80GB 7200RPM HD

Enermax 450W PSU Modded With quiet fan

It is a little tight in there, and looks a little messy. Try eliminating some of that cable clutter, and re-evaluate why that fan is near the HD's.

Wanted to get the MSI board for my A64 but went with ASUS instead, how is the MSI board holding up for you?>

 

[amdguy]

the MSI board is great...after some initial bios quirks that reports wrong temp, which is solved with the latest 1.4bios, the board is super stable and fast

looks ok man but the fan next to the hdd looks worthless to me

 

[amdguy]

no the fan is blowing to the HD, it is used to cool the Nforce chip on the mobo as well as the Heatsink on the SCSI card

Looks good to me, except for those cables and the fan sitting where it wouldn't be expected.

Not sure I like the quality of that CPU heatsink too, considering the CPU is O'ced.

Looks ok Man. Would recommend getting some better cooling for your CPU. How about some pics of your case. Too tight shout to figure out

 

[amdguy]

the Heatsink is the Alpha PAL8150T and it has the same performance as the Thermal Right SL94U(Forgot exact model) and it is running at decent temp. I have a duct for the CPU fan which i removed for the picture. (http://www.dark-tweaker.com/alpha-pal-8150T-2.htm)

The case is a lian-li PC 6150

i too have the same cpu and motherboard. how did you overclock? what were the settings in your bios? what are your temps?
