more to come later. My TFT has died on me and am waiting for a replacement. (It's usable, but it's hardly visible....very irritating)

 

[chic_magnet]

nice!!!!

total cost bro?

and from where you got it?

edit - your in the uk!! shucks! i thought you were here somewhere in the wilderness!

 

[Aditya]

I dont care about the E6300..

Hows the P5W-DH ?

What BIOS did it come with?

You have a Stepping 4 CPU, so I guess you didnt have any boot prob's..

 

[Nikhil]

wowweee!!! You lucky dog!!!

Now get cracking with the Conroes and post some decent benchies!!

And why 2 CPUs :S :S ??

 

[Udit]

[Anish]

^^ Err, why is it still recognised as an Allendale :S ?

 

[hunt3r]

Wow congrats KITT, awesome stuff there You got two of them? :O

@Anish its a E6300 with only 2 MB cache so its an allendale.

 

[thexfactor]

Congrats mate ... u really lucky !

 

[K.I.T.T.]

Thanks for the comments guys

@ vandal and Nikhil: 2 CPUs because one was for a friend. Bought them from Australia.

@Udit: My watercooling is still stuck in my other (now redundant) rig:



My current stuff will go in that case once I sell the parts from my opty rig. The case needs a little modding and i need to re-do my watercooling loop.

I'll run more benchmarks later.

managed to break 20 secs in Super Pi.



Still at 2.8 GHz, but sorted my RAM timings out.

Stay tuned

 

[hunt3r]

Any plans to change the ram or are you gonna stick with ur current ones?

 

[Mohit]

Nothing wrong with the RAM. Does 450 MHz 4-4-4-8 memtest stable. Haven't had time to test it further.

Here's a sandra shot:



I'll tweak it some more tomorrow. It's 11.30 PM here, and I'm off to bed

 

[Quad Master]

Wow thats some awesome RAM there. D9's right? If they can do that much then def no need to change them

 

[K.I.T.T.]

500 MHz 4-4-4-8 rock solid. (sorry about the res in this pic. was on a rubbish 14" CRT)
