A mighty upgrade..

[cisco_tech]

congrats on the setup Anish.

Congrats. Nice setup.

 

[-Anish-]

Your fetishness for Biostar boards wont spare you I guess.

Congrats on the setup.

Seriously, I never had any qualms regarding my previous i45. What a board at an extremely good price point! Absolutely no issues with the board since 1 year, it was just the moisture that started killing my core components.

woah !! drool worthy. congrats .. and yeah the pics look really good. which camera ?

Thank you Faheem Pics are from a tweaked W902 camera, handpicked, no PP

Awesome purchases congrats.
And no, i woudn't call it unbalanced, a 4870 will still hold its own. Not much sense spending a lot on a GPU now anyway. Holes in pocket appeared at the right time and will hopefully disappear till the time the DX11 cards are freely available.

Nicely put, hopefully this time, ATi should come out with mainstream cards first rather than enthusiasts cards which come out first.

congo awesome upgrades waiting to see some cpu oc scores

edit : nice pics , N82 again ? :lol:

thank you robo, its just my tweaked W902 cam

Thats a great upgrade mate !! I think its pretty well balanced IMO. Congrats !!
Could you post ur previous config?

Cheers.

Thank you!

My previous config was :

Q9450 | Gskill PC8800 1100mhz 4 GB | Biostar Tpower i45 | VX450 | 4870
@ Mohit : Is it Rs.440 for 2 fans or 1 ?

 

[m0h1t]

^ Its for 1 only I think..

 

[Udit]

Congrats

Running those on VX450 ... may God keep your PC alive

 

[-Anish-]

err, yeah i know. Had my previous config along with 4870CF run on VX450 as well. :lol:

 

[Gannu]

^Lol that VX450 can handle that rig without breaking a fuss! A 2nd 4870 might not quite cut it though!

 

[-Anish-]

I forgot to mention, that my proccy as well as both the cards were overclocked heavily on a VX450 helping me score a good 15k on Vantage

btw, can anyone tell me if there is a limited number of cards that are supported for SLI on the biostar x58?

The pic below has left me a bit pulled up :ashamed: Does that mean that i cant attach 2xGTX275 or 285/295?

@Darky: Reminded me of my P3 coppermine...

@Anish: Drooooooooool!!! That biostar sure looks awesome for the price being asked for. 4870 with accelero must be feeling kinda left out in the l33t ompany of the other three

Congrats!

Bah, i knew it, i knew it

:lol: Not long before i get something for the l33t

Did ya'll know? Biostar has two versions of the x58. One is X58A and the one that i have is the normal X58. I think X58A is a stripped version of X58, but the specs looks the same. I just saw the 2nd version :S

 

[WingZero]

^^haha yea there are 2 versions....Nyways congoz...mere liye toh puraani baat hogai

 

[-Anish-]

yes, got all of this about 2 weeks back actually
Some more snaps. Just a tryout with UV, cable management still not done.

 

[Vandal]

Congrats Anish, sweet proccy, had fun testing it. Funny thing is, the i7 really seems to scale up in performance (I mean disproportionately scale) after 3 GHz. Invest in a good cooler and up you go.

I'm saving up for the i7 975 - wicked chip, of course I may go 32nm in 2010 also. I have a hankering to see a 3.66 GHz Core i7 in my system. Thankfully Windows 7 means 6 GB will last a long time

Only ASUS boards for me, I'm a n00b

Thank you Vandal! and yes me getting Thor next month, but am thinking of leaving it passive as attaching fans on that = an ugly ducking of a heatsink :|
Hopefully it should be enough for the 920 @ 4ghz+ .

Saving 50k+ for a chip and then waiting for a 32nm fabrication? I dont think thats going to be a good move Vandal. You wont be getting any buyers for the 975, i presume.. looking at a recent QX sale. But yeah, thats a dream chip alright!!

Venture out a bit, like I did - fell in love with the Biostar (i45/x58).

 

[Naga]

First of all congrats! And secondly, all of you guys are sending me over the edge with all the upgrades. Must resist temptation to upgrade !!!

I had my upgrade path well chalked out. Get another 285, W/C it and run the rig at the fastest it would go until the next big wave in 2010. Now, looking at all the guys going over from well balanced powerful setups, I question myself, what the hell am I really missing ! Lord help me keep my sanity and stick to my original plans !

Enjoy while I retreat to my meditation chamber...

 

[-Anish-]

Funny part is.. that temptation came along after looking at you upgrade :rofl:

 

[Gannu]

Lol I said goodbye to my constant upgrades since I wisely decided to invest in a PS3. So long as my rig actually starts stuttering with Crysis 2 or 3, I might not upgrade. Probably next year. Not the i7 for me anyway.

 

[-Anish-]

I think you said goodbye when one of your 4870s died ?

 

[Gannu]

^4850s damn it and it's still lying in the stash waiting to be pciked up by some guy going to Thailand. Switched to a 4870 1GB + an accelero then. Good enough.

 

[-Anish-]

Sending it for RMA ? Why not give it locally to amarbir or someone?
