LambofGods New Build with Pics on a Pool Table

[LambOfGod]

Hey All,

I just built another PC for myself..

The backbone is a MSI P6N SLI Platinum LGA 775 Board, doing all the work is an Intel Q6600 Quad Core Proc cooled by a Arctic Cooling Freezer Z Pro , memory is handled by 2 Gigs of Coarsair XMS2, throwing out video is an Vanilla EVGA 8800GT with an Zalman VF900-CU cooler Flashed to 680 Core, 950 Memory.

Write up on this is here

Running my OS is a 74Gig WD Raptor with an HDD cooler, and my storage is a segate 750Gig 7200.10 also with an HDD cooler. All Powered by a Rosewill RP550

All this is stuffed inside A Thermaltake Saprano...

Built on a pool table, perfect non conductive surface

All thrown together, still messy

Cleaned up

Cover on, ready to roll

After Installing windows, (fastest install ever) next to imaging

I kept careful eye's on my temps, all seemed well. about 40C at Idle

I then ran 3dmark 06 at stock settings - result = 12347

Then I set the FSB to 1333.. Core speed of the Quad core resulted in 3.0GHZ... All stable so far at stock voltage... 3dmark score = 13857

The PC is stable, the temps have not changed (40C) and i do not want to push it past this for the time being. I am plenty happy as it is.

Hi dad! It's the son you've neglected for almost 18 years. You owe some child support here.... That new computer of yours should cover it

i thought pool tables get a lot of static electricity, could be wrong but if not that is where i am building mine on, i have a decent half sized one
