My Gaming Rig

[wowspare]

creed rocks!!! :D

[MrogQuad33]

Have you tried oc your cpu further?

[jxiong053]

I want to but i haven't lately. I think I'm going to wait till I get a new cpu cooler or go water. and this cpu isnt so oc friendly.

[LauxRO]

you got a neat rig. not too overwhelming, but powerful enough, i know! i'm proud fo'ya. we have the same GPU, we rock. xD

[jxiong053]

I know, not too much but good enough for another year lol. The 9800gtx+ is freakin good. And now I got sli, even better. But I'm still kind paying it off. :P

[LauxRO]

you mean, you are paying the card in parcels? i still think about the 2008's end... my father bought it to me. i flashed a smile the size of my chicks. (lol, double meaning xD) this card was the freaking best thing available with one chip. hot damn! I GOT A BEAST! YEAH!

[jxiong053]

man my card was the best one out at the time, but they always gotta make newer and better ones. and guess what, my card's price goes down.

[DBLqtrPNDR]

ROFL, is that an Infinity Ward wallpaper?

[jxiong053]

yup i think so, i forgot lol. i used it for a while bc its green, i loooove green.

[nespin1987]

what song is playing in the background

[jxiong053]

One Last Breath - Creed

[DaBeaver89]

Like wtf :) I'm running my q8200 at 3.3 Ghz at stock Vcore xD 1.2375 V.

[jxiong053]

Nice.

[DaBeaver89]

Hey mate :)

Nice rig you got there. I'm about to buy a new CPU cooler, mostly because the original cooler for my Q8200 is making some buzzy sound and isn't really quiet. How is the SpinQ? Is it quiet and a good cooler? Would be nice to know, since we have the same CPU :)

Thanks

[jxiong053]

Thanks, The SpinQ is great, its quiet and works good. temps may be a little up there in the 50's if you OC to 3.3+ :(

[DaBeaver89]

Glad to hear :) I'll probably be in touch later on when I'm about to OC (if you don't mind) :) . Don't have a clue about what V-Core i should set :P

[jxiong053]

No problem, vcore stock should be able to go up to 2.8-2.9ish Ghz.

[utubienut]

oh if you overclock.. well at stock cpu settings no overclock the cpu runs idle at 23c for me and at load 30, gaming stays at 35 or less. Never any higher.. it's amazing how the antec 900 hold up. I have a total of almost 8 fans LOL. PCI fan slots count :D Am i that nuts? :D I can go 11 if i wanted to! i wonder what the temps would be! I have gone 20c 68F :D wow!

[jxiong053]

Thats cool, I never knew what my stock temps were, when i built this, i went straight to oc'ing it lol. the antec 900 is nice, i think i have about the same amount of fans.

[LancerEvo007]

Im thinking of getting a system. Don't know if its good or not. XPS 630 Intel Core 2 Q8200 (4MB,2.33GHz,1333FSB) Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium Edition SP1,64bit 8GB Duel Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz(4DIMM) nVidia GeForce 9800 GT 512MB Hard Drive 750GB-7200RPM,SATA 3.0Gb/s,16MB Cache Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio AGEIA PhysX physics accelerator Mmm yea Sorry I dont know much about systems I already bought it for $1650 CAN Just wanna know if it's gonna play future games. Got Moneys worth?

[jxiong053]

It looks ok, It looks like that motherboard it comes with can actually overclock so thats a good thing, and it has an extra pci-e so you can add another 9800gt if its sli capable. I would say that will be an ok buy.

[LancerEvo007]

Thx Lol

Woho I didnt buy a crap computer

[LancerEvo007]

Wait How do you cheak if its sli capable

[jxiong053]

See if the motherboard has 2 or more PCI-e x16 slots. And see if the card has a sli bridge connector.

[Zeadok]

Awsome rig and Awsome song!!

[jxiong053]

Thanks.

[drifter5064]

nice I have the same processor but not OC lol

but nice rig im tryin to work on a new rig myself with a Core i7 extreme with a 280GTX

[jxiong053]

nice, but expensive.

[drifter5064]

I figured it to be around with everything I want it should be 2,000-3,500 so yeah

[jxiong053]

What are you going with? I mean like brand wise.

[drifter5064]

what u mean motherboard or who im gettin it frm?

im lookin at a EVGA nForce 790i Ultra SLI motherboard with a ASUS gaming case

[Homebrew2all]

isnt that creed in the background?!

anyways..nice ass computer

im getting most of the things like you as well,the processor,motherboard etc

5/5

[jxiong053]

Yup its Creed.

Thanks man, those stuff are pretty good and reliable.

[XXTh1eFXX]

also, the spinQ uses push pins, am i correct?

[XXTh1eFXX]

im about to buy the SpinQ and some cold cathode blue lights to make my case bright. does the spinQ work perfectly on the 780i ftw mobo? i got the same mobo, is there any space issues between north bridge and fan? does the 3pin connector work on 4pin?

[jxiong053]

The SpinQ works perfectly fine, may depend on your case, its quit large. Theres enough space from the north bridge fan and the cooler. There should be a 3pin connector near it. It should be northeast of the cpu. lol. ANd yes the cpu cooler uses pushpins theres 4 holes and 2 sticks

[XXTh1eFXX]

yea i got the antec 1200, which is basically the same as ur case(antec 900) so i think it should fit just fine :D

[caretaker]

wahts the cpu cooler its dark

[jxiong053]

Its a Thermaltake Spin Q

Its color is just regular silver.

Its Awesome, buy it!

[FreedomPLMarcin]

ok, here's my spec m8

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 + Auras Wave + Noctua NP-H1 @ 2,8GHz 1,275V

Asus P5QL-E

2x2GB DDR2 889MHz CL5 2,0V

BFG 9800GTX+ 760/1125/1888

Fortron FSP 800W

[jxiong053]

nice.

[Cssfan101]

not bad prety much same wat im getn except im getn asrock mobo)3sli, 780i chipset) 4gb OCZ RAm 3.2Dual Core MAD 6400+ 9800gtx+ssc videocard(evga) Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse and Keyboard Some thermaltake case(silver aluminum) 21" HP Monitor Antec 650W PSU

[jxiong053]

ah yes, similar. Nice.

[arni291]

get normal 9800gtx 55nm and just overclock it to ssc version, you will save like $50

[Cssfan101]

thats wat im all bout

[FreedomPLMarcin]

what is your voltage at 3GHz and what is your cpu cooler? :)

[jxiong053]

My voltage right now is 1.35 and my cpu cooler is a Thermaltake Spin Q

[PureInsanity00]

great computer bro

I got the similar specs.. it great!

[jxiong053]

Thanks

I just got my 2nd gpu and im running sli. Kinda sucks though because some of my windows seems missing or transparent. :(

[FreedomPLMarcin]

I'll thank you when I pass ;)

[FreedomPLMarcin]

I never link memory with cpu ;) So nothing should happen. I'm getting it next week at tuesday after my driving license exam ;p

[jxiong053]

Oh ok. Most overclockers usually link their memory or they call it sli memory.

Good luck at the exam.

[FreedomPLMarcin]

i hope i'll be able to overclock it to 3ghz with 800mhz ddr2's

[jxiong053]

I havent messed with the NB and SB voltage yet. or dont pay any attention to it lol. Im still learning how to OC.

Im not yet sure either, i have 1066 memory. 2x2gb dominators.

[FreedomPLMarcin]

i heard it it possible to oc q8200 to 3ghz with 800 somewhat leaving it on CL5 and adding more voltage or setting lower frequency after increasing cpu fsb which will oc your ddr2's too

[jxiong053]

you probably can get it to 3.0Ghz, its not gonna fry your stuff. just make sure it gets a little more voltage than stock. I think it only affects your memory if you link your memory together with the FSB. Other than that im not sure. You can always mess with the memory later anyways.

[FreedomPLMarcin]

thanks for anwsering :)

well i have auras wave lpt-709 cooler so i think i should get it work with 3ghz at 1,3v on asus p5ql-e with quite low temps, if they are i'll just think about oc'ing it more.

what are your northbridge voltage settings, southbridge, etc ?

[YytisMagic]

Nice .. i have same case. It is best !!

[jxiong053]

Yes it is. I found a new case that matches the same tightness lol. Coolermaster HAF 932. You should check it out.

[FreedomPLMarcin]

What are your voltages for q8200 ? i'm buying this cpu next week so i thought of overclocking it to 3ghz. But I'll need some informations from you ;)

[jxiong053]

well i was working with it for a bit and got it to 2.8 on stock vcore. I just had it OCed to 3.2Ghz. Its stable on 1.32vcore. You can try that but every cpu is different. Yours might oc better than mines or mines may be better. But yea, mine is OCed to 3.2Ghz on 1.32v.

Tell me about it when you do overclock it.
