[PICS] Clown's turn - Watercooling setup

Right. It was the PSU that was the problem. I didn't use the Enermax from the other PC because I forgot that it blew up as well. And the one that I tried to use yesterday was an Enermax too. I'm seeing a pattern forming here.

Anyway, I'm using the Antec thing that came with my original Sonata case. I think it's only like 350W. I dunno if that will be good enough for a 3700+ and 7900GTX both overclocked, but we will soon find out, eh?

Edit: Err. The 'broken' Enermax PSU isn't broken. I gave it one last chance because I didn't want to unscrew anything and it's all working now. Computers work in mysterious ways.

yeah Ive had problems like that before with new motherboards.

sometime they just need to be left with the PSU putting some current through them for a while to "warm in" then they will boot straight away...

you're right though very mysterious ways :p
 
AMD64 3700+ San Diego
BFG 7900GTX 512MB
Crucial Ballistix 1GB PC4000 (Single channel, didn't bother installing my other stick)

All at stock gets me 9893 in 3DMark05.

Does this sound about right?

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get my RAM to run at dual channel. I have two sticks of 1GB and if I run them in slots 1 + 3, the computer just refuses to boot up. They will work in slots 1 + 4 at single channel speed though.
