AMD 6400 Black Edition - My New Rig

well to be honest the front is the 2 120mms antec fans with akasa dust filters) mounted in the black hdd cages and moved forward to look as if they are flush with the 2 side pieces, am considering flushing the whole front to make it all totaly smooth think it would look quite smart with simular black material possibly plastic, cause for me the mesh just got too dusty and made the inside a real state, only snag is the size it can be a little tight with crossfire and watercooling working on things but apart from that it looks awsome :) polish brings out the nice deep black shine too :)

Cheers guys

Aly, how are you finding that DFI board? I had an M2N32-SLI and it was pretty decent for oc-ing, I've heard the DFI is a bit of a beast though.

It is much Much better than I had anticipated. I bought it from my local PC shop that i've used since they began in 2003


It was the last one they had in stock because they had been selling them like mad and I never intended to upgrade. Installation was good, it runs so stable and cool.

Only problem is if you overclock wrong and you endure a system crash you have to restore the Bios or it sets the CPU to a ridiculously low frequency (think it goes as low as 200mhz)

** Edit

Here is my PC now:

Nice rig dude you have any problems with a lot of dust buildup inside your case and on the grill? cause mie was a real pain when i had all the grill on the front and the meshed side. DFI boards are ace shame it takes them a little longer to catch up with the current sockets.
 
Wait I'd say, you've already got a 6000, if it's not fast enough already then it's probably time for an Intel shift...
The Tom's benchies of the 5000 overclocked weren't that impressive I thought, probably still scoring less than yours would at stock. *from memory*

Good time for an AMD though, although saying that it is a very nice clock.

Better remove that competitor link aly! (And edit sig to 4 lines text) :p

Yes dust is a problem but my Antec case seems to have a gloss inside on the metal (your's is probobly the same) so the dust slides off easy.

It means all the dust sits at the bottom so it's alright.
 
The AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5600+ 2.80GHz (65nm) can clock at high as the 6000+'s if a good sample and the Black Editions only bring unlocked Multi's to the table.

Correct what was said above that the Black Edition 5000+ was not that great a overclocker in the THG review but again depends if you get a good sample or not, my 6000's topped out at 3300mhz.

I've just realised you have the same RAM as me, I bought the RAM blind folded (which I know you should never do) I'm usually and OCZ person but what are the timings like on the Corsair C4. I aint touched my RAM yet except put another 2 1GB sticks in to make 4GB.
 
yeh the 6400 at 140 is a bit too much for me ill stick with the 600 for now maybe get the swiftech compact kit at a later date so my cpus got a dedicated loop:) and see how far she goes
