Well, this is my first DICE setup.

I just wanted to share my experience with everyone here :)

I used...
GA-P35-DQ6
E6850 (lapped)
2x2GB Geil EvoOne DDR2
Diamond HD4870 1GB
850W OCZ PSU
250GB WD HDD

I think that my first time went fairly well...I was dissapointed in the fact that I was unable to get around 550MHz FSB, maybe I was just expecting too much...I dont know, but here are the juicy pictures :)

Here is my make shift table in the garage, its a piece of plywood atop a garbage can :) what works is what works! :D

Nice low temps!

Clean up time...
Posted Image Posted ImagePosted Image
(Dont mind that last picture, I was a little tipsy and couldnt hold the camera still...)


I will post some screen shots once I get a minute to restart the computer with the HDD I used in my main rig.

The highest I was able to get was 4701MHz on the E6850

This was a trial run, to make sure that I had the insulation down good and to make sure I knew what the hell I was doing :) I will be using an ASUS Maximus Extreme with an E8400. Wish me luck!

Dry Ice and Corona's, I like your style!
