REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 Looks like an awsome set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 noce setup. I have that same processor i got it about 2 weeks ago and i love it very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 Yep, it's looks pretty damn good. I can't wait to build my new rig next month (AMD X2 & X1800 XT Crossfire - Guess it'll be the R580 Crossfire instead: ATI's R580). You gotta hit the benchmark threads and update your results. You have results here (reply #3): [url=http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=6115.0;all]Official PCMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 looks good you will get alot of performance / buck im no expert on PSU but 420W if you plan to run dual vidocards later might be too weak, but if so you can always change PSU aswell VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richcornucopia Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 Thats a sweet setup but I'd recommend a bigger hardrive. 80 gigs isn't that much anymore, you should know that since you have like 70 gigs of music . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted December 27, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 Haha yeah, but at the moment I have no more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 I had a 160 gig die on me the other day which sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted December 30, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 30, 2005 Okay I have a question, Every time I boot this computer I get this really annoying RAID configuration utility that comes up and take about 30seconds just to get through, I have look through the book and the BIOS and I see nothing on how to disable the name thing. Any help would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted December 30, 2005 CID Share Posted December 30, 2005 Are there any jumpers on the motherboard that are for raid, or maybe sata? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageman Posted December 30, 2005 CID Share Posted December 30, 2005 If you are not using the sata raid, you can disable the raid controller in bios.. You most likely have 2 controllers(via/promise)... Is the one you are seeing the Promise controller? If so, there is a place in bios to disable the promise controller if you are not using it.. Next time i reboot, I'll see where it is in mine(I have an asus board also) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted December 30, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 30, 2005 Yeah I got it. Just disabled every RAID thing I saw and it worked haha. Ill have to do some more reading on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted December 31, 2005 CID Share Posted December 31, 2005 we have to compare some benchmark results - i just today got a somewhat similar setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngroux Posted December 31, 2005 CID Share Posted December 31, 2005 I had a 160 gig die on me the other day which sucks. richcornucopia --- Try Spinrite from Gibson Research. (www.grc.com) It can bring drives back from the dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted March 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 Well I didn't want to start a new topic since its kinda the same. But any way that computer that I got back in december I kinda fried it, there was a bare wire and it hit metal and fried everything... So I am getting a new computer and everything. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103547 OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227210 eVGA Geforce 7800GT http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130277 ASUS A8N-SLI Premium http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131540 Lian-Li PC-65B Plus http://www.frozencpu.com/cst-336.html VLSystem L.I.S 2 Premium Black / Red http://www.frozencpu.com/lcd-14.html I am getting a water cooling off of a friend. But I don't know the name or link to it. This one I will make sure I don't fry it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaT_PHiL Posted March 30, 2006 CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 good looking setup, i like the LCD display that thing should be sick when u get it up and running. For the 150$ price tag why go so basic with a case though? it only sports 2 exhaust fans and 1 intake. The psu air duct is a plus though. and about ur cpu, its odviously awesome but maybe you should consider an opteron. The 4200+ has both cores on 512 L2 cache at 2.2ghz while the opteron is 1mb a piece. Although the opteron is clocked at 1.8GHz it has incredible overclocking abilities while staying very cool even on stock cooling. You can probably get 2.4 on stock.. i plan on OCing to 2.4 when i order mine using stock HSF. Others have successfully OC'd over 2.7ghz using a better heatsink and fan than stock. You will be using Liquid so all the better. Also, the Denmark core is very similiar to the toledo core the fx-60 runs on, and its 20$ less. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103588 For 40$ more than ur 4200 you can get this clocked at 2.0GHz stock which you can bring up to 2.6 easily while taking advantage of opterons 1mb L2 cache on both cores. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103586 whichever way you go, it should be a fantastic comp. Just be careful with metal objects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted March 30, 2006 CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 most expensive cases are very simple but effective - lian li and antec are all about performance thats why the design might seem simple but the case is grade A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted March 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 Oh I didn't mention, anything over 150$ I get 25% off through a friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
