- P5N32-E SLI Plus motherboard
- 8800GTX
- 1.7 terabytes total hard drive space
- 2x 1 gig of 800MHz ram
- Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatality Chamion Series
- Yesico FL-550ATX Fanless 550w PSU
- NH-U12F Cpu cooler

Yup, that’s right. I got myself an extremely power cpu, which hopefully I will overclock to something like 4 GHz.
To begin with, first let’s show my monitor. I’m linking to the pictures so as not to use up bandwidth.
The Ipod is a reference.
Second of all, the case:
Again, the Ipod is a reference.
First off, the CPU was already inside and ready, along with stock cooling. I was having problems with heating, so I bought some a good, high quality unit. This is the picture of my ccopmuter before operation.
A close up of the RAM I’m about to put it:
Now, the motherboard with stock cooling:
I’ve taken the cooling off, and there is some thermal grease still on it that I cleaned up.
Now, I put on a MONSTER of a cooling unit that almost barely fit in the case.
A close up of the power supply:
And here are my 1.7 terabytes of hard drive space. The one labelled H is my backup hard drive with 750 gigabytes of space
And lastly, my whole computer. Everything I mentioned is in there, and it’s all set to go. Unfortunately, I’m having problems most likely to do with the motherboard. I’ll see if I can fix it some time soon, and play Crysis and post the FPS.
Unfortunately, the motherboard suffers from problems voltage problems, and I’ve been tweaking it for a while. Hopefully it’s stable now, and I’m going to run 3dmark06, as well as other benchmarks. I’ll be posting the results soon.
