I had CPUINIT when I get a little too enthusiastic OCing.

You know the Rear CLRCMOS button is a soft reset right?

Do a proper CMOS Clear the old fashioned way to check as the special CLRCMOS button doesn't always work.

Get the 0901 BIOS in it as soon as possible it will fix the Vidoe playback problem that the first run of 7?? series chipsets suffer from.

 

[haofeng]

looking good...i hope you get over the mobo prob soon...i had the same prob on my striker extreme, but it was fine as soon as i set evrything back 2 default.

 

[davep]

ok sorry guys for lack of updates

Got all the blocks installed, tured it on and nothing

Cleared cmos a few times, tried using on one memory stick and using different one, diffrent gpu, different cpu, no luck

Had to RMA the mobo

Hopefully I should have a replacement next week, im hoping they dont decide to repaire it, has it will then take 4 to 6 weeks

More pictures to come when its up and running

 

[rrjwilson]

Pants

Sorry about that mate hope its quicker than 6 weeks

 

[haofeng]

Ooh nice one, does it come with the front panel? what you looking for for it?

 

[davep]

Umm not too sure, if your interested just make an offer

Think I paid £120 of it, but of course I already know if not gonna get even there that

£75? (not inluding p&p)

Yes comes with the front panel and remote

 

[Luigi]

hmmm, Tempting....

Ill have to get back to you in a week though, Once I got the kit for my mod ordered Id also need to sell my xtreme gamer

 

[davep]

Nice one mate!

I may mod the case further yet, not decided yet, I could if I wanted get 2 or 3 more pa120.2 in there

I think the pa120.3 will struggle with three 280gtx cards

 

[Marcus]

Where you gonna fit another 3 PA120.2's Dave???

 

[davep]

Easy

Not telling just yet, my little secret atm

Could if I wanted change the 2 pa120.3 to quad rad (not gonna through, not worth it)

 

[GavX]

Where did you get that case? I can't seem to find it anywhere online without toys already inside it Looking awesome by the way, the green is growing on me

 

[davep]
