Well, I thought I would track my build.. not that it is spectacular or anything.. just thought I'd keep everything in one place. I have screenies and specs of my first setup with this Phenom 9850.. and this will be a good way to compare the two.
So here are a few starter pics.

Nice. Congrats on the build. :D
I'm trying to sell off my whole intel tower to build an AMD/ATi based rig as well foray for the first time into watercooling with a v2010. :D
:up: excellent cant wait to see more. Also curious as whether you will get that 9850 higher in the mobo and also curious to see your 3dm06 score.
Thanks for the incouragement.. much appreciated..:yepp:
Here are 2 more shots.. I am going to have to finish it tomorrow. I have a 7:00am Meeting tomorrow...

Meeting shmeeting! You have tech toys to play with!
That is a great looking build. Love the case!
Looks SWEET Charged... :)
I'm curious to see how well it OC's. I have the Asus M3A78-T variant of the 790GX coming tommorow. WooHoo!! :up:
The GBT looked really nice, but I had so many problems with the DS5 I just didn't want to chance going with them again, hopefully they got it right this time....
What Phenoms are you going to test in it?
I have a 9600/9600BE & 9850BE I'll be testing with the Asus this weekend...
Happy Overclock Weekend Bud!! :yepp:
Well, I got overly excited when it showed up on the egg...so of course I had to have it right then...:D...This was before the others showed up.:p:
Nice to see you making it over to the other side...;)Quote:

Hopefully rma goes well and its just a fluke and not gigabyte reoccurring errors
Never fear, I'll be the backup guy with my x8450 on stock cooler with the same board. Stay tuned for probably nothing amazing as I take my wife's new machine into overdrive.:sonic:
That sucks Charged... :down:
I've been playing with this new Asus 790GX for the last few hours, and I did have a few problems with the DVD drive (fortunately I had an extra ;))...
I finally have Vista32 installed an I'm doing the updates as I type...
Hopefully I'll have some 9600BE results from it by tommorow...
Go give your wife a sweet back rub bro (they love that!), just make sure you let her decide where it goes from there... :D
So far this ASUS M3A78-T seems to be doing pretty well. I hate to say it, but after hearing your early results from the GBT I'm kinda glad I went with Asus this time around...
So for the life of me I haven't figured out how to enable ACC in the BIOS. I found out that you have to hit ctrl-f1 to bring up the hidden options and then I can select it (auto, 2%, 4%, etc). However no matter what I choose it still shows as disabled in AOD 2.1.2. I have a few other options to try, but gee it would have been nice to have some info on it in the manual. The manual literally says nothing about ACC let alone the key combo to enable it. You'll have to let me know what you figure out Charged when you get yours up and running.
I was able however to install just fine using ACHI, which apparently some reviewers had trouble with. I slipstreamed SP1 into my Vista x64 disc and it recognized the SATA controller and installed without issue. Now I have the SATA/NCQ controller and all that jazz in device manager.
keeps us updated... hopefully I can get the replacement in soon. I might buy that 790FX /SB750 board off the egg today as well..Quote:
