ASUS P6T, 3x2GB Crucial DDR3 1066, 8800GTX w/Thermalright cooler, string holding card and behemoth cooler up against the flimsy alu mobo tray, shoddy cable management, dust bunnies

I cant see anyones pics i am on gov computer and it blocks everything

Here's mine as an attachment, unfortunately I had to make it tiny to get under the 200kb limit.

I can see it good thanks man. Is that the stock fan? I was thinking of the true black 120 i heard it will work because you can get an adapter for it? I dont know if they send the adapter with it but i still have a month or so before i am getting mine. You like the i7/x58?

[bowman]

Yeah, it's the stock fan and thermal paste, utterly worthless. I have a TRUE sitting dutifully in its box waiting for a 1366 adapter which no store has deemed it necessary to order in preparation for the Nehalem release..

I like it so far, my old setup was so far behind the curve that everything is speedier, even simple apps like Paint.NET.

I just bought a 1366 Thermalright 120. Comes with 1366 adapter.

Can you still get the true black 120? if so it will work with the 1366 right? I heard that the true is a good cooler and i think it looks cool also.

Hiya, just installed my TRUE Copper edition onto my P6T-D with the 1366 mounting kit...





That thing is damn heavy.... will replace with waterblock when it's avaliable for the 1366. Really sexy and awsome performance though.

No problems with the True copper pulling on motherboard? it looks cool it is shinny.

[eternal_fantasy]

Well it hasn't ripped the CPU socket off the motherboard if that's what you mean by problem Everything seems fine as long as you don't transport it around...

Also the larger dimension of the socket 1366 mounting system means that the load is spread across a larger area, so less stressful for the motherboard compared to a LGA 775 system.

Would you mind sharing a pic or two of your radiator set-up? I have the same components (PA120.3 and Noctua fans ... ) and would love to see how you have them paired ...

I plan on building a plexi-glas box that will fit inside my window frame and the two PAs will be mounted in such a way that the fans will draw the cold Alaskan air right through them and help cool down the coolant as it goes into my XSPC passive 750ml reservoir and then back through my two cooling loops, one for CPU and one for GPU (2 HD4870 X2s).


I have a few different configurations in mind, but haven't yet cut the plexi ... it's a little cold now and I don't have a heated garage ATM ...

Fellow Noctua "Fan"..! I've got a "performance" minded setup, i.e. random placement of external rads.



Although you gotta watchout that you don't cause condensation with the cold coolant flowing into components inside a warm house... also need to be careful that if you turn off the computer the water inside the rad don't freeze over

Anyway better not go off topic, this thread is in the Intel forum afterall.

Hey Eternal join the club. Mine will be here Monday also if FedEx doesn't change the delivery date on the last day. hehe

I got the exact same ram. Those Corsair Dominators are nice. I got 6GB (3x2) of the CAS8. Good stuff.

Where did you buy that corsair kit from?

[rge]

GB X58 extreme, and my homemade ugly bracket to mount wb which had to be slightly rotated so 775 plate did not hit retaining screws. Not water cooling NB, it is running at 51C idle, 54C load.

What is the batch number on that chip?

ZZF. I was hoping they'd get here Saturday, but they didn't make it. Now I've got to wait on the burner in my sig anyway.

added batch# to my sig.
