Getting this RIG tomorrow

[darklord]

@darklord u busy with a new bench set up somethin??

Unfortunately no
How i wish i was busy benching but sadly thats not the fact.
You see i have to work to keep myself breathing and then keep financing my stupid hardware purchases.So i am busy with that boring activity called 'Work' lately

U might have to wait for a long time to get a noticeably better graphics card..
And it seems like Nvidia's planning to develop it's next generation of graphics solutions with a new architecture.. so there is a chance tht watever it is, u might hv to upgrade ur rig anyway..

Dunno abt ATi, but i think the GF 9800's should hold out nicely till then..

9800GTX is just waste of money. Go with basic display card as u have decided earlier.
And wait for 9800GT. Or if high end, then 48070XT or 9900GTX.
But they will be available after July!

great work ajay, now nish is getting to much higher, too huge screen.

 

[ajayashish]

Can someone give me some tips on overclocking ... i have this 6600 cpu and Abit IX38QuadGT with Corsair 4gb 800mhz ram

Disable options like CPU Spread Spectrum,thermal control,CPUID max level,C1E halt state

Unlink FSB and RAm first
first start increasing the FSB
should go around 1333 (3ghz) without any V-core increase and see if system runs stable..test with Superprime.
then increase little voltage, like 1.3v to 1.325 V and increase some FSB , see the result , keep it going and keep increasing Voltage/FSB

i'm running it at 1.4 V
it CAN be run at 1.45V, 4ghz but temps get high and u need water cooling. 3.8ghz with 90i ultima is enough


btw there's official thread for this on abit--

btw a nice purchase there, congrats..

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Nice nish!
What CPU cooler u are using?

 

[nish_higher]

thermalright Ultima 90i


i also got 120i for Q9450 but everything's yet to be installed

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Dude were u robbing banks lately?
Throw some cash on my face too!

Good choice overall Ajay.
Stick with the Q6600, i really dont like the Q9300, its got a low Multi, lesser cache and its more expensive than Q6600.I really dont see a reason why anyone should buy that chip.

Stick with whatever you have decided, its a good solid combo.

Congrats in advance

How about a Q9450? Its got a Good Cache. Good Speed. More Efficient in terms of Power.

^^^^ that will be a pain to my pockets... i have 12k for a proccy only

then try to cut short the allotment for something else. The mobo you have is the best out there, and deserves nothing ecept Core2Quad Q9450. Its worth every rupee to spend 2.5k extra for the penryn.
