Link is broken :-(.

The biggest board you can comfortably house in this chassis is an E-ATX board. However if the motherboard tray (I haven't measured my 600T tray or I could tell you) has at LEAST 16.1-16.5 inches of room to work with then you technically can fit a dual xeon board in there, though I suspect it would be a bit tight.

Thank's but the thing is that I suggest the next build of Tinytomlogan would be that. I already make the measurements an it will fit!!!! But I would love to see what other mods he can do to that especial Build!!! Please Suggest that Build!!!!!!!
 
Not too happy with MSI's new branding scheme... I'm a fan of blue; always have been, and now they've basically told me blue is going to be the lower side of the range only x.x

Yeah but I think MSI are telling us there won't be any ''higher'' end blue themed motherboards anymore mate... Dunno, just speculation :P

We shall see :)
Though black/blue motherboards are really popular. It would be really stupid from MSI not to release any in the (near) future.
But then again, the yellow on the MPower can be easily painted without voiding warranty (according to MSIAlex on OCN)
 
I'm officially overclocked again. The video card is bumped a bit and I bumped the CPU speed up a tad. This 3570K can't take a lot. I see what Tom meant in the video when he built it. It is not fantastic, like hitting the big lottery, but it is okay.

Good one FredEx! What are the temps like with Prime95 or OCCT?
Question to y'all: would you guys like me to add a list of useful applications for overclocking (Like CPU-Z) including links on the first post?
If yes, I'm home early from school today (12:30 GMT +1) and I'll do that then :)

Using OCCT. All the core temps hit 85 fairly quick, core 3 hits about 87 then.

Since this is OC3D Overclockers Club it would be nice to have the links handy in the first post.

Those temps seem really high mate :/
I'd try lowering the voltage, because 4GHz should be achievable with stock voltages, and more than 1.368v is really high for 4GHz mate :)

Nah, I still think we'll see just as high end blue boards. If Z77 is anything to go by, there won't be any difference between the GD55 and mPower even in terms of performance.
I think the only difference may be that we stop seeing as wacky designs on the blue boards. This is why I feel they've brought this marketing in too early when they use a motherboard to headline the 'classic' range that has heatsinks styled on a gun barrel....

I'll look at it. I'm new to CPU overclocking. I just thought of something, I'm going to look at the video Tom made when he built the system and see what is on the programs when he set it up and tested it.

When I got it and fired it up, first thing the BIOS reset. I had to pull the battery and re-seat it, it probably got bounced around a lot...obvious since the case was banged up a tad.

I see a couple things...lower voltage, lower bus speed that I had but a higher multiplier.

EDIT:

Got it figured out. The Gigabyte overclock program raises the bus speed...going to the BIOS and dropping it and raising the multiplier kept it cooler. This test had not run long, I had run it longer and forgot to capture a pic. My ambient temp is higher than normal. It is 23.88 in the house due to it being cold and damp outside here, cold for this time of year, and my mom being cold I had to turn up the heat for her. I'm sitting in just my boxer briefs. :)

Yeah THAT looks a HELL of a lot better. Pushing the BCLK on most modern processors nets you very little and tends to gum up things a bit more than it's worth, especially for your typical user. Not sure why the gigabyte program would ever mess with BCLK, but I'm glad to see that you got things back under control :-).
 
Agreed. Temps look fine now! You can probably stretch it even further with some time and effort :D
Not sure how the H60 will handle though.
 
Yes it is, but then I can't add you now. It would make the list a mess.
You'd have to wait for 46 mate :)
And sorry for the late reply, I've been ill for a while now. Sometimes it's better, and sometimes it's getting bad.
 
Right so since I've finished my rig, I been trying to overclock it, but for the life of me I can't get it prime stable at anything higher than 4ghz, I've had it burn test stable at 4.5 4.6, but as soon as prime is involved after 4-6 hours on small ftt, either core 3 or core 8 fails

I've pumped almost 1.36v into it, to the point where temps are hitting 102 degrees just to see if its voltage but nothing it's currently running prime on stock clocks just to see if I haven't just got a bad CPU

Any ideas what I could look at?
 
My memory is Corsair Vengeance 2133, timing 11-11-11-27. Since I'd gotten the system, the BIOS had reset due to the rough trip across the pond to me. Also I'd had to reseat the BIOS battery, it was not keeping BIOS settings. The memory was not clocked in the BIOS even near its capabilities. I set it to 2133 @ 11-11-11-27. It was okay a couple day and I started getting BSOD's. It appeared to be a graphics issue with the Catalyst Control Panel crashing first. I wasted time getting new drivers, Beta drivers, backing off on the GPU overclock and so on. Lead me on a wild goose chase. I then backed off the system memory and all was fine again. I took it back up to 1866 and all was fine. I then tried 2133, but backing off on timing, BSOD time again. I'm running 2000 @ 11-11-11-27 and all has been fine for days.

5 and half hours in to small FTT, set the voltage to 1.3 and LLC to extreme, enabled XMP and left everything else on auto, just incase it was me with stupid settings
