That's because I can't find any vid card other than my half-dead X1900XTX ;)
I'm clocking around right now, I'm in bios at 450 FSB right now :D

nice :D. gogogogogogogogogogogogog ^^
hmmm btw, I really like how you went about modding the HR-01. Pretty interesting.

:cool:
That's it though... FSB 450. FSB 455 won't even post, but what can you expect with barely 1,1V VTT and 1,18V Vcore :rolleyes:
So I'm hoping to get FSB 420-430 stable. Can't be asking for more really (at that price)
Either way that rig is still beast-like. Congrats.Quote:

I don't have any spare HDDs... but I could steeal that 80gig 2,5" from my external HDD I guess.
I don't have a case... but I could run it on the table :D
I don't have a working GFX card... that one's tough. I'm gonna borrow a PCI card from a friend later.
BTW, I will be installing Windows Server 2008 on it :)
Nah those are just non neccesary things http://apachefoorumi.net/Smileys/setti/psychosmoker.gifQuote:

Just tried to call too late, no body there :ROTF:
haha begging stuff from intel's office? xDQuote:

But this rig is gonna be VERY energy-efficient. Unbeatable WU-per-Watts ratio, as this will likely drain below 250W fully loaded :)
wow that is impressive. two sockets too :shocked:Quote:

That's why I went for this one, not Skulltrail. I don't need SLI for a cruncher :D
So why is this gonna be so efficient?
1. The mobo. Small form factor, digial PWM as opposed to ST, advanced powersaving capabilities. No NV chips on it, that alone saves 50W I'd bet :p:
2. The CPUs. Those 45nm Quads consume about 60W each running BOINC, even when overclocked (1,2V Vcore FTW)
3. Ram. I only have 2 Dimms installed, more will eat more power
4. and most important: I will use a very low-powered GFX card
5. Plan on using a very efficient PSU, probably the net Pro82 by Enermax. Close zo 90% efficiency at 250W and 230V VAC, so I should get even lower than that (we'll see later)
Edit: My Q6600 rig at 4Ghz drains 450W loaded, and that's with only 1 GFX card (which eats about 100W idle though, due to it being voltmodded) ;)
ok, please STOP now !!
I can't take it any longer. Pron overflow :rofl:
:D :D :D :cool:
:ROTF:
MORE PICTURES!! :lol: I need more before I start chafing!!
Excellent work and 450FSB is unheard of with DDR2-800FBDimms so either you got the cherry picked memory that the gentleman upstairs gave his personal blessing to, Asus made the power delivery system to the memory so goood they should invite Intel over and give lessons or your an absolute genius!:up:
One suggestion: Don't show anyone with a skulltrail that you hit 450 or they will toss their boards against the wall!:rofl:
Oh my.. 450FSB. I hope to all things electronic that Asus gives us VTT and VCORE adjustments in BIOS. I don't mind not having SLI, I'm an ATI guy through and through and the lack of "SLI chips/pieces of garbage" will drop power consumption. Time to send Asus and Intel an email or ten :idea: :wiggle:
wow so my TX750 should work on it....
car or dua harpertown :(
wow! 450 is HAWT! Keep it going dude and by all means keep the updates on how it's doing on the grid:yepp:
Yeah sorry, had to work a few hours now. Been finishing a customer's PC build ;)
Anyway I couldn't install OS because it kept freezing on me, I suppose that was due to the half-dead vid card.
I slapped my trusty Matrox Mystique 2MB PCI in and it seems to work - gotta love that card, over 13 years old and has never let me down once, still runs in the latest mobos. :up:
Like the 4mb STB/Virge that came in my 1997 Gateway P1-200..still works and was a $40.00 option back then!:rofl:Quote:
