Akasa A-62 AMD x6 *Zosma* build

[ZZZAC]

Well im regularly updating about things ive done and am doing.
Cable management is a bit better today, but since i have no cable ties at the moment, its a bit "here n there" if you know what i mean.
This weekend i shall be working, and will/should have around £35-£40, all that will be put towards a new cpu... But the question is, Do i buy a dualcore to keep it going untill i can afford a upgrade, or do i wait and get a x6?
The lack of photos is due to lack of times, because of school exams and stuff

 

[ZZZAC]

x3 sounds good

 

[ZZZAC]

or an Pii 555 and try and unlock it have you got a motherboard yet?

Yeah, i have a asus M4A88T-V Evo
didn't i post this in the first post?

All depends on why it's B-Grade.

I imagine it's more than just the fact it's OEM.

Dont wanna spend my spare ours unbending cpu pins :L

 

[ZZZAC]

It won't be anything like that, all b-grade products work, they won't sell a broken cpu, it will most likely just have the box missing or be a repair or something, you'll have the 90 day warranty anyway in the unlikelihood something does go wrong.

This thread may answer any questions you have about b grade stuff.

Taken into mind, i may get it sometime this weekend, depends weather my mum has money in her account, ill have to borrow around £15

 

[ZZZAC]

May upload a few pics of it at present later

 

[ZZZAC]

yay you better do it!

Ill take some pictures, beware of my cable management, things get allot harder when you only have 1 cable tie

 

[ZZZAC]

1 lol is your case the cm stacker nvidia? sorry can't remember and it's not in the op

Yup, haha with my ati 5830 :L
just shows i didnt buy it for the look, more the praticality

 

[ZZZAC]

lol nvidia and ati do like the look of those stackers though

Yeah same, improovements could be made, i loved building in the old akasa because it was just sooo easy
ashame although the stackers bigger, its somehow more cramped, therefore building in such a small space is a struggle and there is no options for cable management, but when i get bored, ill buy a dremmel and sort that out

 

[ZZZAC]

May link some of my pictures i had of it before the "crisis-explosion" just as a teaser, because i cant get my usb port to work :L

 

[ZZZAC]

Sounds like you have been visiting some specialist adult entertainment websites...lol

Isnt that what most 15 year olds do?

 

[ZZZAC]

yeah all the time ^
you able to order the cpu?

looking at money status, i guess if i work for the rest of tonight im owed enough money to get it. But checks haven't cleared meaning my mums bank is empty, so unless a check clears this weekend then i don't think i will be able to

 

[ZZZAC]

ok then, pics now!

will upload them now, but i can only link the older akasa photos, as i have no way of putting my pics on my pc atm
Out of intrest how do i unlock the cpu mentioned, is it just like core unlocking?

 

[ZZZAC]

 

[ZZZAC]

Never got round to taking pictures with the ram and 5830 installed

 

[ZZZAC]

CPU before the smoke

 

[ZZZAC]

 

[ZZZAC]

Paper clip trick... NAHH i can make a computer without a cpu work

 

[ZZZAC]

happy now?

 

[ZZZAC]

Looks like there was only a few that unlock to the phenom, and unless its a old return then id be very lucky to get a unlock-able cpu. But still x4 for £50 is a bargin, will probably get ti regardless of the l3, unless there is any better options?
