Full Version: Master's New Pc **warning 56k**
Here is the PC, but it's not 100% complet, I still need to make the side panel window and some nice stikas.
ooooooo thats purrrddyy 
Very good choice on the case!
very good job on the wires!
Very good choice on the case!very good job on the wires!
*drool* SCHWEET! Thats very very nice! What motherboard is that? Looks like a DFI. What are the specs? Nice wire management... I don't even see any wires. And whats the water cooling setup. Lets hear some bragging!

Well, thank you for that roadkill. Very good choice on the case!very good job on the wires!

For the wires, well I didn't concentrate on them as much as I did on my other build but I still managed to do a good job..
great job radio.nice and clean.
good on the wiring.

The specs are:[right][snapback]531013[/snapback][/right]
AMD 3000+ 64 Newcastle @ 2.35Ghz (till I can find how to increase the voltage on the chip in the mobo's BIOS)
DFI LANParty S754 UT Series
Radeon 9250SE (for the moment, getting my X800Pro VIVO back)
Kingston PC3200 mem
280G of HDD space (waiting for my 80G and 120G sata)
OCZ 520W ATX/BTX PSU
Swiftech Watercooling w/ AS5
Razor 1600dpi mouse
Ohh yes, almost fogot, I am getting a nice 35*C @ 2.35ghz
Nice job man!

Wazzup Nermy lol..Hey did ya get that vapo to work yet ?[right][snapback]531030[/snapback][/right]
Ohh and Nerm where da hell do I go in the BIOS to increase the VCore ?
Looks Great. Keep up the good work.
The WaveMaster is a very nice case, I didnt know they came in yellow...Good job with the wiring too.
is that ram tccd?
Nice job. Nice looking case great wire management. Especially since u werent even considering wire managment as a top priority thing.
nice looking rig. BTW check your spelling in your sig
"K8N Ne Platinum"?????

I haven't had time to hook it back up yet. I was gonna do it today, but that isn't going to happen since I have to go down to Louisville today. If I get some free time I will hook it up tomorrow.
Almost all the overclocking features are in the "Cell Menu".
Nice.. I'm liking the black and yellow thing you've got going on.

I checked in the Genie menu (cell menu) and I see options for voltages, but none for the VCore..It's really weird. Is it possible that I need a new BIOS..?Almost all the overclocking features are in the "Cell Menu".

yea get the latest bios for it if you don't have it already.

I know there are some dangers when flashing a BIOS, do you think I really should do it ? Is it really really worth doing it ? Or if I change the BIOS, I still won't be able to adjust the VCore ?[right][snapback]531313[/snapback][/right]
You should be able to adjust the vcore with the stock bios. Can you post a pic of the Cell Menu screen?
very very clean looking....i'm very impressed! keep up the good work =)

I'll get one up soon. I don't have the cam at the moment.[right][snapback]531402[/snapback][/right]
sweet setup, love the case. looks like sweet ass sports car.
I went in the BIOS and, I do not have a cell menu, mine is the Genie BIOS Settings, and in there I have something called the CPU VID Settings & CPU VID Special Settings, I am not very familiar with this if this is the vcore settings.
Nerm, do you have the DFI LanParty UT NF3 250GB board or the non-UT ?

CPU VID is the vcore, thats what you want to use.

Just read it up before you said that, THX anyways man [right][snapback]531431[/snapback][/right]
So here is what I got so far:
255FSB
185MHZ MEM
2550.00MHZ CPU SPEED @1.75V
Always under 50*C
8M SuperPI Calc without any problems.
I am now going for 2600.00MHZ @ 1.8V -- 260FSB -- 190MHZ MEM
BTW you guys think I should go past 1.85V ? My temps are quite good.
I do like what I see, Yellow seems to be a cool color to contrast everything with

pump up the mhz and once you get unstable, raise vcore and if you need to, raise vdimm as well.
edit: you got wc and i got stock air running 260*10 vcore:1.6 and vdimm: 2.85, you should beat me, but then again you are running a 754, but with water cooling, i want you to push it till you hit load temps in the 50s

CPU VID is the vcore settings. I still recommend you updating the bios on that board to the latest version though....
yes I have the UT version and I must say it is an impressive s754 board.
but how does s754 fair compared to the 939 counter parts, im mean both 512kb and 1mb cache versions of 754.

I have a Newcastle and you have a venice, this cpu dosen't overclock for shi-t. I'll up it again till it gets unstable.
That yellow and black is PIMP! Did you paint it like that, or buy it that way? The whole thing looks great! Very clean on the inside. Nice work indeed.
swifty the difference between s939 and s754 is s939 supports dual channel and s754 does not. That is the only real performance difference between the two.

Ok, that I didn't know, thanks for mentioning it lol.[right][snapback]531653[/snapback][/right]
I just was overclocking and all of a sudden my OS stoped working, I think it reuined it for some reason. I tried every single thing so that I can go back in my OS and, nothing.
It would reboot everytime it was in the windows XP loading bar thinngy. I set everything to default, reset the CMOS just to make sure, and it still did it. I reinstalled XP and now it's working. Sux.
Indeed! very nice and that paint is a killer (wish i had some... on my car loll)

so on memory benchs such as sandra, 754 is almost equivalent to 939? always thought 754 was not worth buying. so pretty much the 1mb on the improved 754 chips makes up for the lack of dc, right?
edit: you can buy the case @ xoxide.com and there is a blue color also but it looks really nice.
no swiftey the 1mb cache on a s754 does not make up for its lack of dc. If you take two chips that are the same except one is s939 and the other is s754 the s939 will only out perform the s754 because of dc. If the s939 chip is not running in dc then performance will be equal. If you are buying a new rig though I don't recommend s754 because that technology is being phased out and s939 is the platform AMD is going to stick with for a while.
btw, your windows curruption problem sounds like your agp/pci lock wasn't on or wasn't working.

nah was just wondering because before jumping from 478 to 939, i was thinking about 754. im glad im with 939 though. ill just recommend 939 to my cousin.
