New Build :D Pics within

Nocky24 · 27 Jan 2011 at 01:30

Well the regular DPD guy dropped off some new kit today

This isn't a fresh new build, just the cpu, mobo and ram, but I thought I'd let you all have a butchers.

i7 2600K, Asus P8P67 Pro (was a bit concerned about the board), 8GB Geil Value Plus, IC Diamond TIM 1.5g

Everything ready with ocuk at hand

Old motherboard out and case cleaned up

CPU + Memory

New P67 in..

H50 + Grain of Rice IC Diamond

Sorted, n all done

Gradually clocked to 4.6GHz with ram at 1600MHz (only had a couple of hours priming today, so will do more tomorrow, but it seems solid enough). This is on the 0804 stock bios.

Threw in my old X-Fi xtreme gamer (no issues here at all) and it's BC2 time

So there ya go. I've had literally zero problems *frantically touches wood* whilst putting all this together and I am yet to come across a BSOD of any kind (although I may do tomorrow with more priming and lowering volts). So if anyone's put off by Asus' P67 Pro, don't be. With everything turned off in the bios that I don't need it boots up ridiculously fast (puts my x58 ud3r to shame) and their new interface is surprisingly fluid and intuitive, a big thumbs up from me over the old keyboard style. Their bundled software is of course, still shocking though

Cheers mate

and yep I'll certainly look at going higher, just want to make sure the current clocks/volts are 100% first though.

Posted in the motherboard section, I think it needed it. I've just been seeing a wall of complaints in there the last two weeks

I had a couple of Scythe Jyunis in there up until recently and these Vipers are far better, you won't be disappointed. I can turn them down quite a bit now whilst maintaining good airflow and low noise.

At first the case looks abit small and you wont be able to get much in it but when you start building your kit in it thats when you find its really big and its a gr8 case for water cooling as well, that is what i have done with mine

Yeh it's surprisingly good for the size. My psu isn't modular (TX750w), but I've still managed to get it looking pretty tidy.

Nice one fella. I need to get some money together to buy some of this Sandy Bridge goodness.

Danny091 · 27 Jan 2011 at 15:52

Looking very nice! Love the window on the side, Would have liked a window on my new build but wasnt an option with the case. Maybe i could mod it sometime, Actualy (sorry to hijack your thread) but does anyone know if they make clear side pannles for the HAF 912 PLUS? Would apprecate it a lot.

What did you upgrade from?

MrElve · 27 Jan 2011 at 17:44

Nice job! The case on that desk / setup looks fantastic!!

Wires · 27 Jan 2011 at 17:50

very nice build, though your carpets white line is going through the yellow item on it which a bit scary! ;p

I originally had a 4GHz i7 920, UD3R 1.6 and 3x2GB Kingston setup in their. However a guy at uni offered me a good price on it as an oc'd bundle. Not much of an upgrade I know, but the temps on the 920 were too high for me personally and I didn't want to clock down. Also the bios on that board took a long time to boot up, which is why I never bothered with SSDs, but I definitely will now though! So yep all changed now and all for a decent price.

That'd be my rolsen toolkit spontaneously combusting again
