Mach II GT piccies

[Phil Stanbridge]

Here's the GT in all its naked glory.

It's a much more refined product than the Mach II - the suction line has definitely been improved. It is much more flexible. The steel chassis now has rubber feet, to prevent the very annoying "laminate scratch" when you try and move it The chassis has also been rounded off to prevent the rather frustrating "Mach II sliced and dice finger effect" when taking panels off.

The LCD now displays "Mach II GT" W00t man, this gets better by the minute.

It's the same size and shape as its siblings so no compatibility issues - it also has it's own control centre software. It will run at the same noise levels as the Mach II - ie nearly silent if you wish, or turbo for those insane overclocks.

I will be attempting to overclock this 3.0c here as soon as I get my hands on the Intel cpukits.

Yeah, not sure what that is, ie whether it has a purpose or not.

Just got my 3.0c rigged up and ready to go - here's some early starter piccies.

This is the max my Corsair 3500 does at 3.35v Not a bad start. Nice tight timings.

Here's a piccie of the new control centre 1.24 for the GT - no change here really apart from a couple of little things. Notice the boot temp differences right down to -60!!

My rig fires up at -50 and quickly cools to -65 at stock settings.
