Xmas came a little early this year

I just wish I could install all of this already.

Too bad there's a problem with my PCP&C 510 SLI though. It's missing a pin (-5V).

**NiCKE^** · 03-19-2005, 12:01 AM

Oh yeah that's some nice stuff! Is it a 3200+ there?

Yes it's a 3200+. I'm waiting for the FX-57's to hit the shelves.

**craig588** · 03-19-2005, 12:10 AM

The -5V line isn't required anymore.

R U 100% sure? This is some expensive equipment.

**2fink** · 03-19-2005, 12:34 AM

**R.Rabbit** · 03-19-2005, 12:35 AM

As of January 2002 and ATX version 1.2 and up it is not required, here are the official ATX 2.03 guidelines. (Yes I know the title says 2.01, but it really is 2.03)

The rest of us have to wait for santa to squeeze his fat butt down the chimney in December.

Hopefully he brings a mature ATI mobo shipset and dual VPU video.

In the meantime show us what theose Ultras can do!

**SLaY3r07** · 03-19-2005, 07:39 AM

What OCZ RAM is that?

**isp** · 03-19-2005, 07:42 AM

Looks to me like 4000 VX...

**marvt74** · 03-19-2005, 07:58 AM

Nice i've got a slightly less impressive list just lieing here, need my cpu to be delivered, damn you royal mail shoulda been here today.

Also need to find a jigsaw to mod this case for my prommie

**B5I8** · 03-20-2005, 04:39 PM

The RAM in OCZ 3200 VX (PC4000 was sold out). I'm kind of glad I got the 3200 anyways seeing how they hit just as good speeds on high volts.

After contacting Performance-PC's about my PCP&C 510 SLI, they told me that PCP&C does not use this wire in the SLI models because the -5V line is no longer needed.

I got everything setup and it took me about 4 reformats to get the install how I wanted it. For some reason the newer Forceware Drivers (71.40, 71.84, 71.90, etc) gave be very bad stuttering problems when watching avi files in WMP10. I had to go back to the old 66.93's. Now I have the system burning in with prime and will soon venturing into OC'ing the hech out of this system. Thanks for the help and comments. I'll hopefully be posting more screenies soon.

wow...nice rig!!

**C_X** · 03-20-2005, 04:46 PM

8 days ago the easter bunny left this by my door

and this is how it looks all installed

**B5I8** · 03-20-2005, 04:53 PM

Very nice C_X

. I think I need to add some more case fans in my setup though. The CPU temps are pretty good (36C-40C) but I'm worried about my 6800 Ultra's and the chipset. I'll probably be adding 4 more 120mm to my case. 2 to suck air in on the side of my case cooling off the vid cards and the chipset, and 2 more for exhaust on the top. I think that should be more than adequate without breaking my eardrums. I'll be hooking them up to my Vantec fan controller to control the noise levels.

Is your first video card also a bit hotter than the second one? I have on the first card a good 56Â° and on the second 50 or less. I think it is because the two cards are verry close. And maybe it would be good for dfi the second sli board they make to build it like the asus with 2 slots space. Now i had to lose one backplate of the second 6800gt because the first fan couldn't go because it hit the backplate of teh zalman vf700cu.

and my gskill pc4800 LA ram wouldn't work with that mobo, i had big problemsn with bleuscreens and freezes so i had to reinstall a new bios. Now averything runs like a train and a verry fast one

3d mark 2005 cpu at 272X9 ram at 1:1 score, cards at 439@1132: 11051

**[XC] leviathan18** · 03-20-2005, 05:09 PM

yes indeed even in the a8n sli that you have a longer space the upper one is 5 or 10 degrees hotter than the other one...

**C_X** · 03-20-2005, 05:16 PM

i placed an extra fan ontop of the cards (as you can see) and that halpt a lot, also my ram will go a little harder now

**B5I8** · 03-20-2005, 10:44 PM

Both my vid cards run hot (at least 57C+). They both run at about the same temp because I have my soundcard below the second vid card. This is why I think if I add the two 120mm blowing over this area I should have much better temps. Now all I have to do is go to the hardware store to buy some tools to mod my case.

**Zeus** · 03-20-2005, 10:55 PM

I hate you guys.

Great stuff both.

**DGeNeRaT3** · 03-21-2005, 07:18 AM

**Ashe** · 03-21-2005, 07:25 AM

Oh ... man ... I ...

... it`s .. just
