i plan to do some looming in the future, hope you like the pics.

Nice, you should OC it alittle more ;) And those turquois pins dont really match the rest. Pretty nice though.

oc'ing this chip makes it very unstable. and i changed the thumbscrews in the back (was an old pic) now they really dont match.

nice color and dragon thing :01: :01:

You could do with tidying up the wires.

That is like the exact PC im going to be building soon, same CPU, same hard drive, same ram and same gfx card. Hows it working? how much did it cost? where did you get your parts from?

mAN THOSE WIRES ARE SO MESSY IN THERE!!! tidy them up as lynx and marious have said.

i guess yall dont know what looming is, but its cleaning the wires up...

as for the rig, it runs great. fast as hell when your pushing a 1600fsb. i can do a complete virus scan in 11 min. defrag in 15 min. benchmarks at 6200 with 3dmark2003.

i bought everything off pricewatch.
cpu $261
board $135
video $200
ram $240
psu $27
silentboost $18
case, lights, fans, covers, etc... $180

used my hdd's and dvd/cdrw (ran out of money... lol)

it says the fan speed is automatically controlled. is there any way u can manually control it? like a knob or something?

nope, and another thing is with all the fans the system is loud. it sounds like a mainframe. but im not to worried about that. but i was thinking about watercooling in the distant future.

what are your current temps?

damb antispam thing again :angry:

i dont know, i dont have any sensors on the board... it their a progam that will allow you to see the temps?

speedfan. or motherboard monitor 5

checking in your bios is teh most accurate, next favorite way is to use motherboard monitor 5, then there is speedfan. your motherboard may have come with a program for monitoring the fans and temps so you could also use that.

it says my case is chillin at 32c and my cpu is 36c
