nice hardware - i;d work on your photography skills though - a lot of out of focus shots

Tbh i run the camera on auto settings, so the flash comes on and makes pictures blurry, thats the only problem.

Regarding the fans,All i meant was i haven't used them before,A fans a fan don't worry so much.And what do you mean about the copper pipes?

I will get pics up tonight hopefully, but it will be slow now for buying parts.

Looking good, not sure why you've opted to blow the cpu heat towards the roof of the case instead of towards the rear exhaust fan ?

I only put it on to see if it would hit the side fans.

I used the p4 in the board and the pre applied thermal paste and then when i get the q6600 i can swap it round and face it upwards and use the arctic silver 5

The flash doesn't make the pictures blurry, being out of focus does

You should hold the shutter half way down and make sure it's in focus before taking the shot. Set it to macro mode for close ups.

No i take it steadily and in focus, it's actually the flash that makes it blurry.

Following on from what Raikiri said, you could also put the camera on a solid surface and set the timer to take the photo after 10 seconds. That will eliminate any camera shake. Take the pic from an angle so the light from the flash doesn't reflect back in to the camera lens.

That little bit of prep will ensure everything is sharp.

The camera is a samsung l100 and a fujifilm finepix a fairly old one i forget the actual name.

Update......?

Sorry not yet, i have got other things to spend money on now, so it may be abit slow at getting the cpu,gfx,psu.

luke123 · 3 Oct 2011 at 12:08

No i am being serious i focus correctly but the flash makes it blurry, thats why in some of the pics there is more light in places.

luke123 · 14 Oct 2011 at 15:19

So i Have not bought anything recently not even the cpu as im abit skint

But i have been looking on the bay and it seems that it may be cheaper to buy a mobo and cpu bundle, so i was kinda hoping to get a q6600 and mobo bundle as this i could prob get for £25-£30 and the cpu's are double that?

No way are you getting a Q6600 & mobo for that price. Just because it's that price with 5mins left on the auction doesn't mean it'll go for that

I don't know talk about being shot down

found this:

Asus P5K Premium Black Pearl Special Edition comes with cooler, q6600, 4gb ram,

Compared to mine:

Asus p5kpl-am epu

???

Which is better etc

Actually I suppose if you got lucky you might. A mate of mine got an external Plextor BD-ROM for £25 half a year ago!

very nice

Im thinking at the minute going with a differant 775 mobo generally looking at the asus p5q boards?

Still not got my cpu yet lol

Raikiri said:
Asus P5Q Pro and Deluxe are both very good boards. When I made mine I got an MSI Diamond though as it uses DDR3, which is both cheaper and can be used if you upgrade.

I also managed to get a Q6600 for a fiver, but that was ridiculously lucky

And I'm being serious, you're wrong. More light does not = blurry, it = over exposed.

Very nice, And how'd you get a q6600 for that :confused:

Ok while your the camera expert it is over exposed but how do i correct that :confused:

Saw a socket 775 CPU at a carboot, bought it without even looking really (the model number was really hard to see, but any 775 CPU would have been worth it especially a couple years ago). Got home and it was a G0 Q6600

Very good I just need to get upto 250 posts to enable me to go on the members market

To stop them being blurry either set the camera to macro mode when focussing closely or don't take them quite so close. Also using a tripod would stop any motion blur.

As for the flash over exposing parts of the image I doubt you can do much, most compacts won't have flash compensation.

Alright i will try and take better pics next time, But i still think the flash makes it blurry when there is not enough natural light, As most pics i have taken when it has been night time :confused:
