Optical drive 2 -> Just get the Pioneer as you have in drive 1... :) @ 1066MHz you really shouldn't be overclocking higher than that- at that point, you can have 533FSB already which is more than enough headroom for overclocking the processor. Therefore you should go for the cheaper OCZ Platinum sets instead of the Reaper sets which don't really offer you that much more in terms of performance.

chconline Veteran Posted June 17, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 17, 2007 It depends. Because even if you are running the memory at a higher frequency that the processor, there's still performance gain (Including 1:2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops! my bad. Yes that was copy and pasted from an overclocked system. Change a few things....PSU -> Seasonic S12+ 600W (Powerful, efficient, quiet) Cooling -> Scythe Infinity Mobo -> P5K-Deluxe Fans -> Remove Fan Controller -> Remove RAM -> OCZ Reaper HPC PC2-8500 2x1GB (Great heatsink, Micron D9) Graphics -> 8800GTX (You will have enough cash for the stuff I dropped) Hard drives -> Just get a single 320GB Seagate PMR drive would do. Or get a second one for RAID0. Thats all you ever need. Optical drive 2 -> Just get the Pioneer as you have in drive 1... :) OK, after a little more reading I've chosen to go with the Seasonic M12-600 as I really want modular cables, as well as power, efficiency and silence. Think I'll stick with my choice of heatsink because of this round-up LINK And the fan, is to replace the one the heatsink comes with to reduce noise, or maybe the rear case fan. Will do some testing to see if it makes a difference. If I remove the fan controler, how am I going to controle the speed of the fans? Thats also 4 molex connectors being taken up from the PSU For now, I'm sticking with the EVGA 680i Motherboard as the P5K-Deluxe has some serious issues regarding the placement of it's SATA connectors when using larger GFX cards. "An 8800 Ultra with its full-length cooler would render four of these headers unusable" actually thinking of going with 4GB of RAM because.... "Windows Vista recommends a bare minimum of 1GB for install, but do not expect the OS to run along at full-speed with this amount of RAM. To get anywhere you need 2GB or 4GB for the smoothest results, but here, as we said earlier, a 32-bit OS cannot fully access 4GB, only 3.5GB is supported. I intend to have a quad boot system. XP 32bit / 64bit and Vista 32bit / 64bit (just to test and in the hope that one day 32bit will die) Why do you recomend the Reaper's over the Platinum's? The GTX is around twice the price!!! Definitely going RAID0 bit think I'll change the drives for something a bit quieter like the Samsung Spinpoint T What sort of speed boost do you really get by using RAID0? and how much faster would it be using Raptor's? Is it not still true that DVD ROM drives are better for creating backups of DVD's and games? I've been trying to find some info on this but not had much luck. @ 1066MHz you really shouldn't be overclocking higher than that- at that point, you can have 533FSB already which is more than enough headroom for overclocking the processor. Therefore you should go for the cheaper OCZ Platinum sets instead of the Reaper sets which don't really offer you that much more in terms of performance. Haven't really gotten my head around this overclocking malarkey yet, but I'm sure I'll have a much better understanding by the time I've finished this build. Thanks for your input so far ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chconline Veteran Posted June 17, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 17, 2007 Oops, well yeah you should get 4 gigs of RAM. The Reaper HPCs are nice because it's cheap, great cooling, allows 2.35V and performs nicely. I am still testing out my P5K-Deluxe, there's several layout faults. That includes the SATA as youve mentioned, but also the PATA at the bottom (It works, but just kinda weird. I wired it nicely so it works without cabling issues). The RAM's really close to the graphics card as well. But other than that I am currently testing my E6300 at 480MHz FSB at DEFAULT multiplier. 3.36GHz and stable, and I used a bunch of mobos before -- P5N-E, P5NT-WS, P5W64-WS Pro, abit AB9-Pro and the highest I was able to achieve was 420*7 = 2.94GHz on my E6300. At first I thought it was because my chip was a POS but apparently the P5K-Deluxe is out there to break some records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre S. Veteran Posted June 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 18, 2007 Raptors can improve gaming performance, but before I spend any money on those I'd get the best possible GPU. A 7200.1 system with a 8800GTX will smack any raptor system with a slower video card. Or, just get a small raptor for Windows and a big 7200.1 for the rest of the system, and save some money.

jelli Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) Dear god man! Thats a beast of a system and a price tag, then again if you have it you may as well spend it. Some amazing parts there, just overclock the processor and you have a rig that won't be beaten for quite some time, even if you don't overclock it will still be blisteringly fast. You may be feeling sick looking at the total but if its any consolation i am feeling pretty envious ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
