New Computer finished.

[Barney]

Do you have pics of the actual computer yet? I'd love to see it.

Tha BEAST.

 

[Barney]

Damn that's nice. What case is that? It looks beautiful :cry:

 

[wheres_]

It's the antec 900, The side of the case that i've taken off has a clear plastic window.

 

[Barney]

That's what I thought, but the ASUS DVD or w/e drive you have there threw me off. Anyways, very nice indeed.

 

[DJ-Ready]

I like it that the psu is on the bottom of the case but the case itself looks ugly in my opinion.
A matter of taste I guess ;P

 

[elNarr]

Yeah , I have the same case as you do for more than a year now, still loving it.
It makes a lot of noise, but you get used to it.

What temps are you having right now pre-over clocked ?

 

[wheres_]

Case fans don't seem to have monitored rpm.

Also GPUs these days always sit very hot, and it's getting into summer in aus so it's warmer than usual. Though they only break when you get to 120c so it's safe, new plastic or some ****.

Anyway anyone got a good overclocking guide? I wanna clock the cpu up a tad higher from 2.83ghz to 3ghz or 3.2ghz, and crank the GPUs fan a little bit.

And DJ, don't judge it till I put a photo up of it all closed up, looks a lot nicer when it's got the little see through window on the side.

Change the Fanspeed-

easy with

Gainward Expertool Ati (Best one, and the easiest)

http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1163/Gainward_Expertool_v.4.0_for_ATI.html

RivaTuner

Or you can do it manually by creating an profile with CCC.

C: \Users\username\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\Profiles\profilename.xml -Vista

change the lines

Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_0">
Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Automatic" />

Automatic to Manual

Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_0">
Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Manual" />

and

Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0">
Property name="Want" value="29" />

to

Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0">
Property name="Want" value="60" /> Or you may put something different there.

Or you may put something different there

Actually, mine is idle at 39 celcius.

Sorry for double post.

Forget about these 3rd party tools

Ati released a new driver 8.10 with manual fan control and fixed some issues.
