Good job Brian!

 

[ganjiry]

Well, I did it people ! I actually got it done today

Maybe hide some more wires, but I think it turned out ok. I didn`t do a reinstall, but Windows fired up no problem, installed the drivers I needed, deleted those I didn`t. I`ll do a fresh install after I learn this bios.

Very nice AddRam, Good job mate

Very nice Brian!


Funny, although it looks great, and I can't talk, the 2 things that struck me were white zip ties, and alternating ram. Truth is, this bunch of enablers just can't let you be finished :devil2:

A Guy

:roflmao:

Thanks everyone, changed up the memory and it went from 7.8 to 7.9 go figure

That looks nicer mate, and awesome WEI scores

Great job, AddRam, looks really good, and now you have it in overdrive mode. Well done.

Gary, no I'm not relacing the Maximus board, just adding to it. I have 2 Maximus boards, but one has to go to the Hospital. I've had this one for 2 days, I guess. It's running on the bench and has been running 24/7 since I got it.It has my 2500K in it right now, but UPS is on the way with a 3770K. I hope it is one of those 'Golden Chips'. Yea, I know, but a guy can hope, can't he. If it's as good as my last one, I'll be happy. Guess I'll know in a few days though. My goal is to never run out of computers or hard drives. Well, cases too. I have several of those sitting around empty, just waiting for my next moment of weakness. It's a never ending addiction.

You got that right! lol

How well do I know. Also, about the fans. Some of the Professional reviewers ran the board with and without them. They said the fans make a 8C difference. I'm not real sure how significant that is. Under a heavy load, I guess it could make a difference, but 95% of the time, I imagine it wouldn't matter if you installed them or not.

 

[Britton30]

I won't try this, but I suspect the 8C difference, or more, could be had by taking off the armor to allow the case fans to cool it. with the armor on I think it traps heat under it so the fans would help, some at least.

Steve you're fast becoming a PC part warehouse. Two Maximus boards?

 

[essenbe]

Have you ever seen an armored car following a hearse?

 

[Britton30]

No. I don't understand.

 

[essenbe]

You can't take it with you when you go.

 

[Britton30]

Haha, got it. I've had a few too many....birthdays.

...It's a never ending addiction.

No kidding! Even though I don't have the room or budget for another build, I'm still lusting after new hardware as it comes out. I checked out a Corsair Obsidian 650D during a Fry's run the other day (it's at the top of my short list for possible replacement cases), even though I don't have room for it right now, working out necessary modifications to the case. I'm also lusting for an Asus X79 Deluxe mobo. The only thing stopping me is it's hard to justify shelling out 350 shekels to replace an equally expensive board only seven months old and $580 for a CPU the same age and was almost as expensive (it would be nice to have a spare machine...oh, wait!...my notebook is the spare). I was scoping out new PSUs a couple of nights ago even though my current one is more than adequate plus I have an identical spare knocking about.

Oh yeah, it's an addiction, alright.

Thanks everyone, changed up the memory and it went from 7.8 to 7.9 go figure

Maybe if you but the blue on the outside and the black ram inside it will jump to 8.0 ?

 

[linnemeyerhere]

I'm dreaming of a mini ITX build, giving up nothing but a small powerhouse!

It would still be the wrong channels Alan. MSI may be different but ASUS board always have the DIMM slots alternated. Personally I'd prefer them to be together though.

I swear Brian you have the most awesome Mojo right now

Uh...methinks that was a joke. Unless you photoshop the results, 7.9 is the highest you can go with Win 7.

 

[AddRAM]

Ya, I don`t understand why it went up a tenth, they`re all 8 gig sticks with the same specs :huh: so it really should not matter, but I`m not complaining. Now I`m off to get some black zip ties

I suppose I could rip off the memory coolers and put them back in the pattern I want :roflmao:

But seriously, I`ll be getting a new set of GSkills and they`ll all be the same color, so no biggie.

Wow, I`m sitting here watching my Turbo Boost gadget go up and down and up and down, the cpu`s goin bonkers LOL with the MSI board it would settle down to 1600 MHz, but this thing is all over the place WTH

OK, it`s the Thermaltake fan control software, I ended the process and the cpu`s staying at 1600 MHz now,

25c average
