The pictures look real good. They'll look better once in the case.

The 200.7 bus speed is normal. Here is mine.



But I see a different setup in his AIDA64 bench mark.



Now using DDR3-1867 at stock setting but has jumped the CPU multiplier to 21 for a speed of 4200. Since this is a Google translation maybe a lot is lost in translation. (Wasn't there a movie by that name)

Also in SiSoft he was running that 2000 memory at 1420. Whats with that?

Sure makes you wonder what is going on.

I think the best that can be said is that it raises more questions than it answers. I don't think SiSoft Sandra or CPUz lose anything in translation. Not sure about the credibility of the web site either. But, it does give us something to talk about.

Ok im twisting my arm now on should i get a SSD or not and for the size and price this seems decent tell me your thoughts

Yes, the size and price seem to be good.

Thanks for the reply now i do have a question still on cable managment

Is there some kind of instaltion tubes i could put around the wires to kinda give it a better look then a multi color spaghetti ball?

I'm sure there are but I can't think of any right now. But, if you have room, run all cables you can, behind the motherboard to get them out of sight. Run the front panel connector wires behind the MB and through the opening below where the MB attaches. Take your time and put a lot of thought into how you can get them hidden and tied down. I've thought of using polybuteline before. (spelling?)

i wouldnt know how to spell it lmao

It's the soft black tubing they put around air conditioner lines outside. Anything you can't run behind the case, zip tie to the rear of the case so it looks neater and does not impede air flow.

Check out this site for cable organizers.
