Nice Config..

Congo for Purchase…

Upload the pics in Rig soon :wink:

5

Any reason why you got a P5N-E SLI??

Otherwise a pretty good rig :slight_smile:

6

good rig. me too getting my new desktop tomorrow - quad core goodness :slight_smile:

so you got the xms2 ram :slight_smile: i almost got it too but for my lowly intel dp35dp mobo…

Hi ,
Your config is just great :blush:

But I think you could have saved a bit on some areas .

I mean do you “really” need a 4k cabby ? :face_with_tongue:

8

^^For such a rig, getting a 4k cabinet is very much “justified”.

And AFAIK, i don’t think that board has official support for the wofldale/45nm processors. Have you assembled it yet?

9

Great Config, Is there a specific reason on getting Asus P5N-E-SLI ?Waiting for the Pics Mate

10

Cool rig there mate :slight_smile: congratulations. Now assemble it quick and show us some pics :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

11

It is , if you throw the price vs performance equation out of your mind and buy components to complement the price of your other high-end components and not supplement their performance.
:no_entry:

12

Yup, the P5N-E SLI does support the newer 45nm processors, all u need is a bios update.. dunno why u bought it, maybe coz u needed SLI and this is the cheapest option available?

13

congrats man…

14

WTH??? :confused: :confused:

Anyways.. Congrats on the purchase man..

The mobo mite need a BIOS update if it doesn ship with the latest one..

Post some benchies here..

Off lately a lot of 8400s around and the S-Pi scoreboard’s still the same.. :expressionless:

15

well… what I actually wanted was MSI P7N Platimum .. but no dealers in pune here… so I was left with 2x options ABIT or P5N-E-SLI.. again no service centers here for ABIT…(hate running here and there .. its such a pain in the a**.. )

Well.. I might have got MSI from somewhere.. but was kinda tired.. the LG LCD and Coolermaster was very tough to track down…

Why 4k cabby?.. well.. I usually troubleshoot my pc myself.. those 2nd grade cabbys have no space whatsoever .. and I was thinking of long term benefits.

Right now I got 2x IDE Hard Drives (7200.11 is outta stock… ).. 1x Dvd Writer.. say I get a SATA, 1x Left Side Fan, another Graphics Card and a TV Tuner Card… it would be a mess in those normal cabbys.. ..

CM690 is simply awesome… screwless design…proper ventilation.. cable management… design..SLI Certified… and a server cabinet .. all in all for 4.5k..

16

^^I thought the ide hard disks cant be mounted?

17

yea… the P5N-E-SLI does not detect those 8400s … a bios upgrade to version 0901 is required..

Well the chipset might be old.. but its a decent board..

Il post the benchies and pics soon..

The board and cpu temp was a decent 42 and 40 celsius this morning.

18

True man, cannot mount ide hdd’s in the cm 690 w/o modding.
@ Kalesh how have you mounted them man?

19

just pulled the tray out.. placed the hard disk in it.. and put the tray back in. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

^^have you connected the ide data cable and closed the cabby?
