nice new system bro. i was getting pretty much the exact same thing. exact. i was going 1066 ram though, but ur 800 is fine. ati instead of nvidia. GREAT hsf & cpu!!! same mb too!
why not? and it doesn't run @ 8x. it runs @ 4x and it's for physics accelerator. that would be great! even though the intel core 2 quad uses one of its cores to do that for u so cum next month the 3rd slot maybe useless depending on how much the quad will cost.Originally Posted by Forumula1
but i will totally recommend this psu over anything u've heard so far.
and this is gonna be my chassis. i'll just take out that psu and put that unstoppable pc power & cooling in it's place. we'll have to compare benches when we are done! gl & hf.

I just ordered all the parts. (was around $1704 )
Thanks, mr. nails, fuckin sweet parts, but I'm not paying over $120 for my psu, I also looked at that case, sweet. I really was interested in that Asus so I'm glad I got it.
Thanks guys for the input on everything, I can't wait to get my parts and I will post 3d mark 06 scores maybe later (I will be comparing to ur beast of a computer , mr. nails).
Btw, I don't really see a point in a quad core cpu yet as not many apps and games are even optimised for dual. Intel is just trying to crush any chance AMD has right now.

Agree, it's also missing Dual Rail 12+V.
Your PSU unit is very important for your system's own stability. Getting crap will leave the "whole" darn thing giving random restarts and what-not.
Good PSU Brands I know of: Antec, Seasonic, Corsair
Terrible PSU Brands I know of: PowMax! (The worst. I've heard of them poping on first try! Literally frying entire systems! If they come in a case, I prefer to call them...packing material...like 99% of PSUs that come in a case.)
[QUOTE=Gam3Guy;1510679] which one did you grab?
Those cheap ones seem all nice at first, but they creep up on ya after a few months. Restart there, Restart here. Hope ya get a nice heavy PSU atleast hehe. Weight=Quality
btw, Those PowMax Bastards are still in business!!! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817163018 > Innocent people are frying their systems with that god forsaken (literally LOL) daemon... It burns out after 2 years? I used one years ago on a different system and it restarted 20 times in the same month. I was copying a DVD one day and teh whole system shut off immediately. Suddendly the Drive went "POP!". The loudest fuckin pop noise! 2 seconds later the whole room reaked on burnt components. (components lost...CPU, Motherboard, and of course that poor DVD drive.)

OK OK I got my computer yesterday and it took me 6 hours to install everything with a few breaks in between (yeah I know ). That Thermaltake case is a FUCKIN MONSTER it is 43 pounds and just the box it came in was gigantic. I thought newegg fucked my order up with a tv at first seeing it. My Zalmann heatsink took atleast 2 hours to install, I swear, what a beast, I ended up reappling my artic silver because dust was already setting. I did not know about the support that you have to put UNDER the mobo, that gave me trouble! Everything else was easy to install. Memory and Graphics card just poped in like they should, very easy. PSU also fit in great along with DVD burner, and the hdd, although took me a few minutes to understand the tooless feature. I LOVE the cooling in the case too (thanks Formula1 for recommending it to me!). Right now I gotta wait 2 hours for windows xp pro 64bit to finish installing then I can atually boot into THE FUCKIN BEAST!!!!!! RAWRRRR (thats what I call it. ). It feels good to spend more money into something.
@Wolfmight- A quality 580w psu for under $30, not possible, I would not expect anything out of it.
Top review on newegg:
Other Thoughts: looks cool, works well (mine anyway). Seems like it is kinda hit or miss with this one, but for the $$ it is worth a shot
LOL, thats a huge bet to place on a whole computer.
