FX51, SK8V and 1GB PC3200 ECC RAM on the way..

[Phil Stanbridge]

Just ordered this little mini-mortgage worth of kit - should be with me in the week.

Look out for the benchmarks - I'm also going to watercool the gpu on my 9800XT. Should provide some interesting results.

 

[mcmad]

lol,

your bloody mad mate

Thats gonna be a frickin beast mind you..

 

[Phil Stanbridge]

Dilema though - I might change the nforce to Via for this cpu - the nforce mobo is very buggy apparently.

 

[mcmad]

aye, stability is good !

when nforce 3 come out in numbers, flog it on..

 

[Brwmogazos]

phil if only you could send me half of your rigs for benching-testing , i would then be the happiest man in the planet

really interested to see your results...

 

[Epicurus]

humm... this should be intresting to see what score you get from 3Dmark 2001 when you have that riged up

not thinking of using a pelt on your GPU?

 

[Phil Stanbridge]

Not for the time being - I've been out cutting the case ready for the rad - I'm going to pop it under the top panel where the 80mm fan normally lives. I think that placement will be better than by the i/o panel.

You should have some good play time with that setup!

I take it the FX is going under a Mach II? Will we see 2900MHz from her, lol?

Maybe 25K 3d marks with the FX @ stock?

 

[Phil Stanbridge]

hehe I'm not actually going down the 51 route now, I've been told by my supplier to hold fire for the 53 which is due in to me in two or three weeks. I'll have to use the socket 940 for now, which doesnt matter for the time being, I need to get this rigged up for my extreme systems. I'm going to watercool the gpu and northbridge too.

 

[Bennah]

So your going to sell 'extreme' systems on here soon

Get your supplier to get a A64 3700+ lined up for me I want to know when they are out, lol!
