Post your system specs!

[GINIX_2007]

Yes its a LAN Party PC so the LANbox is perfect I thought it would run hot because of the small form factor but it runs real cool at about 45 degrees and i live on a tropical island sthe temp here is murder!
About the power supply its heat pipe cooled so it runs cooler than most power supply and does a good job pulling the heat out of the case.

And yes the speakers ROCK

My mom agreed on something for my computer plans after I get my Sidekick iD

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
Corsair 2GB DDR2-800 RAM

I b happy \o/

I'll be getting something high end at the end of the year/ early next year... this PC's 5 year life cycle is almost over.... still has no problems running everything. Might pick up a G15 and better mouse mid year, because these are grotty...

[Jopuma]

Rebuilt my computer so it's all new now.

CPU: 3 Ghz Dual Core
Memory: 2 GB (will soon have an additional 2GB)
Video: Currently running a crappy 7300. (will soon have 8800GTX Extreme)
Sound: (will soon have an SB Audigy 4 card)
PSU: Running a 700 watt one

Other various components include a cooling system a new sound system a G15 keyboard and an FPS gaming mouse.

[Carcrazy]

Nice setup... I'm planning on moving my 2GB Ram up to 4GB as well.

Specifically what processor do you have, Core2 Duo E6800?

[Jopuma]

Yeah its a Core2Duo E6850. Before getting it I did some research on it. People found it to be very good for OCing.

[Carcrazy]

Yup, that thing's a beast. Most people said they could push it past 4Ghz with ease. It was my the CPU I was looking at while trying to decide Core2 Duo vs. Core2 Quad.

[Jopuma]

Core2 Quad seems more like the powerhouse required to run Crysis on Vista. Just a regular Core2 Duo on XP can run Crysis fine.

[Carcrazy]

to run Crysis on Vista.

That's actually what I was shooting for...

[BrontoX]

It is good but the best thing is the E8500 it can get to 4GHz with ease on AIR cooling and second best is the E8400 which is a lot more cheap (i think it's the same as the E6850, if not cheaper). Though nice choice.

[Carcrazy]

I'm planning on putting mine at 3.5Ghz, once I get a better cooler and fix the FSB issue.

And, in honor of my 2,500th post...

Oh yeah, I almost forgot...

Great choice in motherboard carcrazy. I have personally tested that board its a solid performer.

[Carcrazy]

Yeah, but I'm strangely having a little bit of overclocking trouble with it... I figured I'd try to raise my 3Dmark score, since I saw it'd already gone up from the burn-in.

[GINIX_2007]

Burn in? never tried that before How much of a Boost did you get?

[Carcrazy]

A little bit over 1,000 points... you can often get 200-300 extra points from it, since I have a quad core, you can multiply that by four.

It only works with a new processor... it really only works if it's a BRAND new processor.

[BrontoX]

What is a burn-in? How do you do it? And is it dangerous?

What do you mean 2 CPUs? Are you talking about Dual core / 2 Cores?

[PSZeTa]

GPU: 500W

lol wut? I'm guessing PSU.. :p

Not much has changed but that Core2Duo certainly is much much better than your old Pentium D.

[race_invader]

thanks for letting me know about what ive put..

@stereo: Umm well it just says "2 CPU's" so i would say 2 cores?
