yeah finally got my new rig built and running
. Antec 900 with a DS4, Geil PC6400C4 2GB , and a x1950XT 256mb. I remember speaking to Yewen on MSN about cases, and was told the antec 900 isn't the best of cases when it comes to air cooling because of the amount of usable space. I can happily say my case temp averages around 30 degrees
. Whatsmore The fans are almost silent on low setting
.
I haven't gone about overclocking the E6300 yet ( gonna get 3ghz+ please God XD), but i have a freezer 7 pro which is ready for it
.
On the other hand my x1950XT is sitting happily stable at 675 core and 1025 mem ^^.
Might download 3dmark later, and see how it goes hehe.
Going from a celeron 2.6ghz ( northwood) with 256mb pc2100 ram and integrate graphics, to an E6300 with 2GB ram and an x1950XT is awesome :O. lol.
I also have to say the Belinea 19" widescreen monitor is excellent
.
This is my first build, so build time actually took about 4 hours =/. unfortunately I had really bad problems fitting the freezer 7 and am not confident it will stay on correctly. we shall see. anyway thats it for the moment. I'l try and take some pics on my camera and post some photos of the beast XD
