make sure u take off that chipset fan off the MSI and clean that gunk that MSI puts and replace that with some nice AS5 , and while ur at it , take a pic of it , u might be able to mod it to SATA2 controller if it doesnt have one already.

 

[NickS]

nF4 Ultra is already Sata2 . I might take it off, but I don't wanna break anything :S.

Here's some pix of my current progress. I have it all set up...and I've fired it up a few time's w/different RAM config's, and that it's working. It's workin! I get the, "No Video Card is Inserted You Dumb Fucking Animal," post beep every time.

Back of Computer

HDD Setup -- My PSU is gonna like, idk.. :S; 4 HDD's? 2 Optical's? Every single power connector on my PSU is used except the 2nd Floppy Drive Cable is being used, plus 2 extra (daisy chained and a molex splitter.)

HDD's

Innard's. Shitty cable management. Idc. All I have to do is slam in teh VGA and fire'r up.

I didn't shit myself, I vomited when I saw X800

:0wned:

 

[NickS]

Oh c'mon Eguy, now you're being uber biased. Those are some impressive scores out of a $175 VIVO card. Also, check out my sPi time. .

Fraggle, likey?

 

[FragTek]

Very nice mate! Very very impressive single card 3dmark scores... That vid card fucking smokes.

 

[FarFarAway]

Nice Nick but I think you can most certainly get that Venice to around 2.8GHz and get that Super PI down to 30seconds
