Not planning overclocking as of yet. Hope everything works together Should have it all up and running by mid next week.
Pretty good price for the antec nine hunded. Thats what i'm using, i love it And thats the same CPU too And hard drive
I finally got everything together and up and running. I'm very pleased with the proformance so far. My FPS went up over 40fps in almost every game I play. My old processor was holding back my card by a wide margin. Everything runs failrly cool. On idle my CPU is 25 degrees and my card is 35.
3Dmark06 Score 11746. Stock everything.. Comapred to my old system with the same card. 3dmark06 score 7706. i'm pleased.. very pleased. :lol:
I never overclocked before. As of right now I really have no reason to. Maybe down the road I will when the newer generation games come out. And i'll update my motherboard to run Crossfire or SLI... Maybe the prices will drop. All my fans are on medium at the moment, and i'm running the stock cpu cooler. So I know I can turn up the heat so to speak. Plus I havent even installed the side fan that blows on the video card. Only thing that bothers me is that the mouse wheel is always lit.. even with the pc off. But thats nothing. At lest I know where my desk is so I dont run into it at night. I'm just so happy that I finally have a decent PC. I'm sometimes over 200 fps on Team Fortress 2. Before I was only getting 15 - 60 with the same card. I've never seen it drop below 85 on a 34 player server. Thank you Intel.. I'm glad I went away from AMD... for processors anyways.
