Its on its way, everyhing but video cards, i wil use my ATI4890 until prices drop on others, maybe they will have a fix by then. EVerything come to $1750. rounded off with shipping. I will pickup the pioneer blueray burner when it is back in stock.

Lookin' good! Hey, why not do a build log? Step at a time with lots of pics. I'm sure many would like (drool) to see it going together.Quote:

Only other game which I've seen an issue with these cards is Crysis, I sometimes see small dots (like when we OC our mem too much) but definitely nothing wrong with the ram on my card.Quote:

I've been thinking about going CF with two 5870s, but keep hitting reviews talking about things like you have mentioned -- problems with certain games and especially using X58 chipset. Seems the P55 chipset is doinga little better tho. Some have complained that they couldn't get CF to work at all with certain X58 mobos. My experience with the ATI drivers is they have never been real stable, seems I always had to run the drivers that were one generation back. ATI still suffers the same problems with the newer cards.Quote:

As soon as they get the ASUS or XFX 5870`s in I`m ordering 2, is these good brands. Edit: i read somewhere while browsing that ATI will be coming out with something better soon after Nvidia releases its next cards, don`t know if it is true or not, but they are sure making cards faster then they use too. ATI 5970=2 5870`s, drool.
LOL, seems it was a little less confusing when everything came from CA. The stuff from Tenn. will probably get there first. Will make a build log a little easier. Looking forward to your build, you've a great system build their Roger. RegardsQuote:

What i got in today was the consair 1000w psu, the ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 MB, The Intel I7 920 CPU, The OCZ high performance 3X2 Ram and the notebook wireless router was free. bAlso i got some silver 5 themal compuond. The case and the SSD are supose to be here tomorrow. BTW, go to the bottom of the screen to see the pictures.
Looking good so far!
The heatsink that come with the i7 has thermal compound on the botton of it . do i spread it or do i just put it on the way it is.
Scrape it off, wipe clean with an old t-shirt and use the AS5.Quote:

Yup, just like they describe. Need some pics!Quote:

I almost got a hernia lifting the case, but it is great. IMO, the best case i have owned.Quote:

Outstanding! With the P6T Deluxe V2 and its BIOS, getting to 3GHz on stock cooler will be easy, just crank up the BCLK 5Mhz at a time until you get there; the BIOS automatically adjusts other settings for you. In fact, you should be able to reach 3.2 to 3.4 on stock cooler! Download CPU-Z, RealTemp and Prime95 to test stability and monitor temps. I personally prefer Everest Ultimate instead of RealTemp, but it costs about $20 if I remember correctly.Quote:

Prime95 http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/
Fixing to leave for procedure, just want to say the 4 120mm fans that come with the Lian Li PC-B70 are the quitest i have ever had, i can`t even hear the Corsair 1000W fan, i guess it is the insulation in the case, which there is a lot of. i also like the fan filters.
Loaded some more pictures to look at http://s649.photobucket.com/albums/uu214/lonewolfroger/
Roger, you probably have to stop at 3.2 to 3.4 with stock cooler.
**** WARNING WARNING you MUST have excellent cpu cooling ****
The following BIOS settings got me to 4.2Ghz, see recommendation below on how I got there.
C1E: disable
Hardware Prefetcher: disable
Adjacenct Cache: disable
Intel VT: disable
CPU TM: disable
Exceute Disable Bit: disable
Intel HT: Enable
Active Processore Cores: Enable
A20M : disable
Intel Speed Step: Enable ( *Turbo On Multiple @ 21)
Intel Turbo Mode: Enable ( *Turbo On Multiple @ 21)
Intel C-STATE: disable
Set your memory timings to those recommended by maker and Vdimm to 1.65
CPU Ratio Setting: Auto
BCLK: 200Mhz
PCIE: 100Mhz
DRAM: 1600Mhz (I'm using DDR3 1600 ram, your's may be different)
Vcore: 1.45V
CPU Pll: auto
QPI/DRAM: auto
IOH: auto
IOH PCIE: auto
ICH: auto
ICH PCIE: auto
DRAM Bus: 1.64V
Load-Line Calibration: Enable
CPU Clock Skew: auto
CPU Spread Spectum: Disable
IOH Clock Skew: auto
PCIE Spread Spectum: Disable
Bump up Vcore one notch from stock (1.08) and set Bclk to 140. Boot and make sure you're stable (Prime95??? or your app of choice). Keep cpu temp at or below 74c. Then slowly move up to 4.2Ghz by bumping Bclk 10Mhz at a time up to 180, then by 5Mhz to 200, booting after each bump and checking stability. For each bump in Bclk bump Vcore two notches up to 1.45. Check DRAM Freq at each bump in Bclk to be sure you are at or below max freq for your memory.
That is a great case! Thanks for the pics!Quote:

I forgot and run it at 1280X1024. temps stayed in the 40`s for MB and cpu. Will go up 5 more and run 3d mark again. Graphics card is not overclocked. I have it set at 147mh and my cpu speed is 2.95, i think i will just run it like this for a while don`t need to go much more to get 3GH, just wanted it to run at same speed as my duo core 8400. I tweeked 3dmark so much it would not give me a score. The cpu is still running in the high 40`s at idel and in the 50`s at load. BTW i have the same ram as u do.
