unfortunatly it wont be running till tomorow hopefully when fedex brings the rest of my parts.
so while im waiting i decided to do my mobo mods first.
took off NB and used ceramique on it.
as3 epoxied a SB hs
as3 hand cut sinks for all mostfets including the NB mosfet.
epox ep-4pca3+ rev2.2
why that one? i just have a feeling about it is all i can say for now.
thats a 2.8E in the socket btw.
2x512mb pc2700 kingston value ram that just so happens to use bt-d43 chips.
just so you dont think im wacko for useing pc2700,those chips are what everyone uses most times besides adata on pc4000-4400 sticks.
should be good for 260fsb easy 280-290fsb with work later.
im coupling this with a fortron 530wt psu.
also ill be useing an alpha pal 8942T
with high output 92mm fan.
im hopeing the air coming off the cpu will be enough hitting the NB HS,if not ill be adding a fan.
some stuff that will be running in this rig will be basic until i can afford the goodies. next months shopping list includes 2 raptors for raid0 and a 9800pro or x800.
followed by a prommy or vapochill.
here is a few pics.
ill post some initial benches tommorow once everything is verified as working.no ocing for a day so i can burn in the mobo and ram a bit before cranking on em.
now for some pics!
