iLLGT3 - PC - Build Log

[iLLGT3]

Well, I got a CF 6850 in a few days ago (it's a XFX 6850 Black Edition) and of course, my motherboard gave me all sorts of trouble. If I want to CF cards, I have to disable every other PCI slot. That means my ASUS lan card is useless. So, I either get a USB adapter for internets OR a new motherboard. AGAIN. Even if I do go with a USB adapter, my 2nd card will ONLY run a x4 and not x8 or x16. Very stupid.

 

Anyway, here are some pics and decision time..

Doesn't your mobo have enough onboard LAN ports to use???

 

Never knew about having to disable all PCI slots to use CF, but then I'll stick with Intel+nVidia thankyouverymuch. :D

 

 

 

 

Wow - Mr. Cottons sure was dirty before you washed him (compare 2nd pic to last pic) :lol:

[iLLGT3]

Yeah, it's this motherboard. I wouldn't ov guessed it at all but whatever. :rolleyes:

 

I may sell my storm scout case and the mobo as a package soon.

:lol:

 

He was a bit... black.

[Ryzza5]

lol, just hurry up and build your PC and stop fidling with it. :D

 

 

My PC is nearly 3.5 years old (besides GFSX card, got that 1.5 yeasr ago) and still runs all my games on full details. Had a quick peek in Windows Performance and everything is 7.3 to 7.9 (max) besides my primary SATA 2 HDD (5.9). I reckon I'll easily get another year or two out of it.

damn i was happy till now with my brand-new HD6750, and i see you have no 1, if 2 HD6850's! Congrats, nice PC you are building!

[iLLGT3]

Did I mention my cats are the ones reviewing my cards?

 

The box said it's ok for them to do so.

[Ozzmcom]

He was a bit... black.

like michael jackson , now that was libellous.

 

anyway I've told you crossfire was a mistake jeff :P

[iLLGT3]

Cupcake!!

 

[Camel]

Okay...

 

You should make a PC that looks like a cupcake! That would be awesome.

[KoenigseggBG]

How much RAM does the cupcake have? Does it have USB 2.0? Memory card reader? :P

[killalldude]

I need to add this mod to my computer! :p

[iLLusion]

Yo dawg, that cupcake is off the hook! :lol:

[iLLGT3]

Yeah it's overclocked to 9.2 gigglehertz

[Ryzza5]

Is it running on NOS?

 

 

 

^ Only nerds will 'see what I did there' :p

[pascallll]

Help!

 

Some time ago, my harddisk died. It was a seagate barracuda 7200.10 320GB.

I searched a bit on the internet, and ordered a new one, a barracuda 7200.12 1Tb.

My old harddisk was a SATA II, and my new one is a SATA III :fp:

Would my new harddisk de compatible with my pc?

[Camel]

It should work fine, but you may need to move or remove a jumper from the HDD to make it operate in at SATA-II speeds.

[pascallll]

Thanks! :D

[Ryzza5]

Just about all my HDDs are SATAIII and work fine on my older SATAII motherboard (they just run at SATAII speeds)

[Ozzmcom]

400MHz. wait, what ?
