if anyone knows me from previous threads cant we please just drop everything that happened and start fresh?

So basicly in march i ordered a x4 Zosma cpu, that is garenteed to unlock to a x6 and at 3.5ghz stock speeds that makes it the standard stock speed of a x6

Since then i have fully built the pc, But it is now in pieces again. And i have learnt never to try run a x6 @ 4ghz on a msi 4+1 phase mobo. :rolleyes:

I have now replaced the motherboard with a asus board with 8+1 phases.
But since when the motherboard blew i wasn't sure weather the cpu had gone as well, i sent the cpu back to china (originally ordered from Hong Kong). Due to sluggish airmail it has only just arrived (3 weeks after sending), And is going to be tested and they will send back a working cpu tomorrow, using a 6 day courier service.

So here is the spec of the pc (when the cpu returns)


Motherboard: Asus M4A88T-V EVO/USB3
CPU: AMD 970 (*Thuban* OEM released, very rare!) fully unlock-able to x6
CPU heat-sink: Akasa Nero S Premium
RAM: 2x2gb Corsair XMS3 @1600 MHz
GPU: Sapphire Radeon 5830 (only using a small resolution and 17" monitor)
PSU: Icute AP-850AS
Case: Akasa eclipse A62
Hard drives: 2x36gb wd raptors
Optical drives: 2x dvd+/-rw

i will post pictures of the pc with the msi board installed and will take newer pictures when my cpu arrives.
Thanks, Zac

Anyway, back to the topic, are you going to RAID those Raptors?

Yes i am, raid 0, i may get another one just so i can have games on it as well, but soon i will be getting a 1tb drive to back it up as raid 0 is high risk especially if you're not backing it up and running on 6 year old hdd's
 
Yeah okay well he says "Hi, Zac

Good news, the package has arrived. We will be testing the processor returned by tomorrow and replacement will be sent to you as well

We will email you again once the replacement is sent

Best regards

So all seems good, it should take about 6 days to get back to the uk via EMS. :)

Nice one.

Hopefully you will be up and running some time next week.

Have you decided which 1TB HDD you will be going for?

well, not yet, but i may go for a external usb or a enclosure and a usb3, because then id be able to back it up and i also do a lot of data transfer so it would make sense
