It's that time of Year again; time to explain to She-who-must-be-obeyed how it is important to stay on Top (or as near as possible) of new technology. And fail miserably while doing so. Sorry Honey, I still love you. But I digress - here's the list of ordered, received and transfered parts:
Transfered parts:- Lian-Li PC-V1000
- OCZ StealthXtream 600W
- Swiftech WC setup with Dual rad, 4 Noctua NF-P12s in push-pull config.
- Primochill tubing (a first for me)
Received parts:- QX9650
- Mushkin XP2-8000 2x2Gb
Ordered parts:- Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 (shipped from Direct Dial; that was hard to find)
- Sapphire HD4870 (shipped from PC Village; that one was even harder)
The X48 board should arrive Tuesday, and the video card is set to be delivered via Canada Post ExpressPost this Monday...
A little preview of the up-coming action, now with the GA-P35C-DS3R. I'm not too concerned by the high temps, since I haven't modified the bottom of the case and remove the extra material to allow free air flow from the fans... Screenshot taken while folding, with CPU at 100%.
Stay posted, pics coming up this week-end of the rig as-is, the assembly of the new board and most definitely benches.
