------------------------------------



I know the gfx card is *severely* limiting me. (I only score about 9.8k marks in 3dmark2001se, I swear i would get 14k+ if i had a GF4Ti anything) The processor is also being upgraded as soon as i get a chance to order the thing (to an AXP2100 AIUHB) and the gfx card to most likely a R9700 Pro. I'm selling a lot of my stuff to my friend, so the motherboard is going too, and I'm gonna get one of those hot new Abit NF7-S 1.2s.



With that setup, im hoping to get 2.5gigs out of the processor w/ 1.9vcore on water cooling (swiffy mcw462 for the cpu, mcw50 for the gpu) and i duno what to expect for the R9700. I'm hopin to get 400+ w/ pelts, which I'll be upgradin to this summer. Also hopin to get 220MHz outta the FSB, and am gonna get *two* sticks of PC3500. Thinking about GeIL, newegg has a special on it right now. $80 for one 256meg stick of PC3500 -- includes shipping! I hear it handles high voltages pretty good too.



Oh and the server gets my old AXP2000 when I get the XP2100 AIUHB.



(gawd I need a new vid card )

 

JESUS!! WTF are you running to get a 191mhz FSB?! You should love having 512mb ram!

 

yea, i used to have 512, but.. well its a long story why i got 256 now.



to get 191MHz FSB i just picked the goopy TIM offa the stock NB HS and put some AS3 on. im tellin ya man, these nForce-2 chipsets are awesome!

 

I'm confused on a few abbreviations.



TIM im guessing T is thermal but you lost me after that.



whats an NB heatsink?



AS3 must be Arctic Silver 3

 

TIM = Thermal Interface Material



NB = Northbridge (thing right under the processor)



AS3 = right you are!

 

P4 1.6a (cant overclock till i get some AS3 =/)

New Volcano 7+ heatsink

Lian-li case

Abit Siluro GF4ti4200 OTES

Samsung 512 PC2600 DDR

Asus P4S533-E

Asus Ipanel

Robanton 600w PS (MEGApower woo woo!)





On the get/wish list is:

Rheobus orsome fan controller

4 vantec tornado fans for my case

thermaltake active ram cooling kit

Some AS3
