Si-man Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I need a new motherboard, mines turd and only goes to a FSB of 1333 or something. Bios says my Q6600=3.0 when CPU-z etc says its at 2.4? Wanky thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Less stats more photos! I need some inspiration to get off my arse and fix my computer. About a month ago my motherf**kingboard filled my room with the smoke and a nice smell of burning plastic.I've not bothered to buy a new one yet but I'm sure if its actually worth doing as most probably other components have blown too....and then I'll just be a waste of money. May as well buy a bigger monitor and a decent laptop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing special in SuperPi about 18 seconds for the 1M mark. Will probably get some new fans as the standard Lian Li fans are getting tired.

Danny Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 You got a pic of how the power cable extension jobber plugs in at the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Regular kettle leading to the back under the fan, then inside the case there's a cables which runs along the bottom and comes out the front, where the PSU is attached to a tray/thing.Front panel lifts off and gives you access to the PSU and whatnot.

WoopSnapsThough since these pic I now have new ram, a new sound card and a new processor (not that you can see that obviously) You've jsut made me feel so bad; mine's a mess in comparison:It is slightly better than that now (i.e. the 12v connector's plugged into the GPU) and I taped and wrapped some wires together to keep them away from fans.

Wrayvon Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) Thats during a full load test that it gets to 50. Using prime95. Try it, thats one way to find out if it runs stable after you've overclocked.EDIT: Looking at your pics, are your graphics cards not really really hot during use? The air flow towards your cards doesn't look too great, surprised they havn't overheated already! I.E Sort those cables out Actually I just noticed the fan on your case door, that will help a lot I imagine! I used to have one on mine, but I had to remove it as I couldn't shut the door with that heatsink being so big....

I used to have one on mine, but I had to remove it as I couldn't shut the door with that heatsink being so big....There's 2 fans going in from the front of the case, one going in on the top of the case to RAM and CPU, one out at the back and the one on the case door is actually going out as well. I find the 3 fans going in (all 120mm) enough to be honest. And graphics cards don't seem to get that hot either. I turn up their fan speeds when playing some intensive games, air feels pretty cool coming out the back of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I recently got fed up with my Rian Ri fans, so I spunked on a set of Noctuas, like these.They were hella expensive, but they are also hella quiet and have dropped case temps by about 5c all round.
