System is as in sig - unless you meant something else. Used to run an Shuttle with an Ath64 3500 and GF6800, so this new box is quite an upgrade.
I've not even attempted to clock it yet..... I'll give it a try
Ok, while running Orthos on the 8K FFT, and tracking with TAT, that reports 40C for both cores. Coretemp reports 41. Speedfan reports 40. I assume all are wrong? Thats with the AFPro7 fan running at 700RPM approx.
How accurate is it? Does it under estimate much? The reason I ask is that while running Orthos 8K FFT, the 2 cores are hitting 40 each. Is it ecven the right test in orthos?
Never been so nervous on a build having not done a full one for 5 years.
Running entirely stock at the moment (see sig), but how can I best test temps etc? I've download Speedfan 4.3.3, and at idle

Now, AUX - what is this? Its at...
ARe you sure you did a net search? I found several references to it with ease!
Doing a search in google for "I am service" found several hits, all in reference to ASUS....

So, in practice purchasing CAS4 is advised. What confused me further was the fact a lot of specs in the Gen Hardware forum that are advised generally seem to be CAS5 based. Presumably, the extra tenner or so for CAS4 is worth it then.
I've browsed around and finding memory timings confusing.
Assuming that I'm considering overclocking, whats the benefit of one of the other? Assume E2180 and Asus P5K or Abit IP35 based boards).
Looking at these examples which are different timings.. and the CAS4 is more expensive of...
Yep... case would help :) Wouldn't need to be extravagant... Zen seems to be the general suggestion for a budget.
I see that on the whole 95% of the hardware recommended is the same from all of you and variaton seems to be on the CPU.
Not related to the Borg are you chaps?? :D
I have noted that people seem to go for the DS3R, or an ABit IP35 board of some description. Are they 'much of a muchness'?
I I were to drop to an OC'd E2180, then the budget can go into slightly better MB I guess!
SPW - I noticed a few people having 2nd thoughts about the Gigabyte boards. On the other hand, that spec should leave my existing Shuttle choking in its wake!
I'm assuming that at 8800GT is as high as I need for 1680x1050. On the quad question I dunno. I'm guessing it'll be overkill and that can always be done later. I doubt many games will make use of a quad!
Hi gurus! (have I sucked up enough??)
After requesting a spec back in August, sadly events prevented me upgrading (needed a laptop shortly after then which took precedence).
Since then things have changed hugely on the h/w front, so here I am again. I'd been struggling along, but...
