IVIYTH0S Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Wow you're going to crap yourself with a performance jump like that with anything CPU intensive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ajmatson Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 As an AMD fanboy all I can say is WOW I LIKE IT. I think the Ridgebacks are sweet, nice rig can't wait to see the performance scores and overclocking from it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 I think you need to add a few 2TB drives in there. The new specs are going to be an impressive jump forward for you, like IVI said. You'll love the six core, it really is great knowing virtually nothing can stress it out. I still need to get another 4GB kit, you'll make me jealous with 8.

schmidtc89 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Well I have installed the motherboard and exhaust fans. I test fitted the Noctua Cooler against the memory and it clears all the dimms just fine. All my wiring for fans and case headers are finished. On Tuesday I will get my SSD and bluray drive. Then I will steal the PSU, hdd and GPU from my old rig and will finish it all up. I am itching to finish. Some pics of the progress.

schmidtc89 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Took out my GPU and PSU. Update, got CPU installed, cooler installed, GPU installed and PSU installed. Now My SSD and blu ray will finish it. Edited November 2, 2010 by schmidtc89 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmidtc89 Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Finally all finished up. I did order a Lian Li fan bay because the case needs more air coming in. Should help my temps a bit. OC to ~4 ghz 1 1/2 on prime and was stable. The SSD speed is insane. The CPU is hardly tasked and I can do so much without having to worry about bogging the system down. I would say this build is a success. I will get some final pics up later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
