Scythe Ninja Rev.B vS Abit IP35 Pro

[Rastalovich]

Just had to do this to the 775 plate that comes with the SN:

Without the ghetto-hack, the plate would not come down. Tried rotating, but it came out the same, cept I`d be cutting near holes - which I didn`t want to do.

Tis fine tho, works great. Just a heads up to those who might think it`ll just fly in there - or if u advise some1 to pair the 2 up.

Can't see what you've done, too blurry :S

Ya photo is somewhat abismal, but even with my eyes squinted I can see the cut-out around the cap.

Ahhh, needed a paint-type ring on it

I see

Oops, my bad, could do with something like that >.<

EDIT: In addition, it`s running the Q6600 @ 27 degrees (in a warm environment) @ stock speeds. Won`t try cranking it up until Vista (ya quite unfortunate) is installed properly.

The kind of oc-pu55y I am, I took it up to 3.6ghz b4 getting problems. Around late 40s for temps - BUT it`s been said elsewhere that the reporting of temps via the IP35 is buggy, so may or not be too accurate.

IP35 Fan control is nice tho via uguru. 2x SFlex either side the Ninja cranking from 1200rpm+ (quiet) down to 780 or so when it`s temps are 35 and under. This point u check to see if they`re actually still on lol.

In a warm room, it idles around 27-31 when the fans are wound right up - very impressed with that, seeing as the fans are quiet.

Settled for 3ghz with memory at normal setttings, may aswell be spd tbh.

U bsod in Vista if u have ram @ the wrong voltage so I found out. Stuck it at 2.2v and all was well. And has been since.

Dunno if it`s the virualization or Vista or Intel, but watching the 4 cpu gadget, I see pretty even distribution of use. Kinda pleased me.

Big "BTW", unpacked a new Scythe Ninja Rev.B today, and the bracket for the 775 IS squared off Being such a fool, I shoulda opened that box first lol, freakin new-stuff-n00ble.

Windows levels off the core distribution if you're running Windows

 

[Rastalovich]

I`ve had a few people say that about the core processes in general.

I have to say, when I first had a 3800x2, I kinda thought it did. But I`m not sure at what point I noticed that it really didn`t.
