Here is me doing some benching

Lol yes it's 3.7ghz.

As for how things are going I have now hooked up the internal LEDs to the GPU too so I have a range of lighting effects I can apply

it took a bit of connector modding but I like the results.

Here is the lighting done, just got to shape the hole in the front a little

Meaker · 13 Jul 2015 at 15:18

I am, just a few final cosmetic changes to make. I'm waiting on the custom cut design I am getting for the front.

Just a note that if you guys are heading to insomnia at the end of the month you will be able to see my completed machine on display at the msi booth

I had a first go at painting, it was not QUITE right so I am re-doing it. I'll post some photos of the process

Just the claw of the dragon left to do now

Some dirty bomb gameplay footage, Windows 10 353.62 drivers.

There we go:

Meaker · 11 Aug 2015 at 19:39

Some more game play, this time with AA enabled and the CPU at 3.7ghz.

Meaker · 20 Aug 2015 at 02:04

I just need to expand the hole in the plastic a little and do some clean up

Meaker · 2 Sep 2015 at 08:22

Phew! The show went well, everyone treated the machine fairly well, though the odd person tried to lift the machine off the dock while it was on :confused:

Also right at the end (closing time sunday) one kid pointed and knocked it off the dock while engaged :eek:

however all is well

That concludes the project really, it has been fun and getting to show it off at the show to finish things was excellent.

Update the bios

Meaker · 8 Nov 2015 at 20:21

I'm on 10B, note that the later BIOS files prefer windows 10 and the earlier prefer windows 8.1.

Meaker · 8 Nov 2015 at 22:51

The BIOS setting is hidden, which is slightly annoying. I have the file I think somewhere...

Meaker · 10 Nov 2015 at 22:32

Sure, also I'm actually bringing this thread back a little as I am doing some further work on the machine. It may take a little time so bear with me, I'll cover the enhancements over the next few days.

You don't have your address listed and don't have enough posts for trust so I don't have your details.

ALL the fans

10 minutes of crysis 3 skybox at over 200fps = max temp of 55C with 1485/8000 clocks

Meaker · 21 Nov 2015 at 05:17

The socket is on (pics to follow).

The options start to open :cool:

you can send me the bios by mail

I have confirmed 10B is ok and the settings in 10C look to have been changed back to default by mistake, I have circled the changes required to make it operate normally:

These are hidden options in a locked bios so here is .10B I have uploaded:
