hehe..just bought the cooler master thermal compound....gonna apply it after work later....errr..how much to put on the proc?? now i know why rainingzero still got the paste after 1.5 years...hehe...maybe i'm gonna clean my heatsink frequently la....maybe once every month to get my thermal paste finish quickly...hehe.. drool.gif
*
Just paste little bit is more than enough.Have to remember that the paste will be putting under the heatzink,the paste will be squeezed flat. biggrin.gif Not very frequent that you need to replace your thermal paste unless you found it has dried.

Yes, the best agp8x ever produce. haha..

Anyway, I am selling off my current rig and moving to C2D by end of this month. hehe.. Anyone interested with my rig? hehe..

It shouldnt take that long unless you converting the format before burning.

Wao irangan going to let go your rig also?Then your X1950XT still will be getting soon right? thumbup.gif Really hardcore man,going to C2D soon. notworthy.gif Never thought that you will go to C2D so soon.

E6600 + P5B-E Plus + 8800GTS + 2gig D9GMH ram + SilverStone PSU + Lian Li casing. My current buy listing.. Sry for off topic.

The highest I can go is 3.9Ghz and 5:4. I cant go any higher. I can push it higher if I can pump more than v1.6. :9
*
Wao cool man.How much are all the stuffs that you listed out?Is tempting to have a C2D system.

QUOTE(irangan @ Mar 6 2007, 11:05 PM)
If want to reach your target, some risk is a must. haha.

This shows that P4 really cant catch up with those lastest GC already. But I still think that if you use your comp for normal usage and casual gaming. P4 is more than enough.

Getting those cheap lian li chasis only. haha.
Hehe.. yes... I getting the Zeus Edition. Strider not good enough IMO.

With your budget, go for Enermax Liberty 620w. Very famous and nice PSU smile.gif

PS: your sig really too big. the rules said only 15 lines allow. change it before mod give a warning. haha
*
Ya i agree for what you said.A P4 is sufficient already for a normal gaming system with a bit of overclocking.Sadly to say i am using a 9550XT to play my Carbon with 1024*768 resolution with low details only. sad.gif Damn,not very nice on the views during gaming.

Actually to be honest,a 6800 card will be really good enough already.7300GT is slightly better than the 6800 cards in some testing.

dont want to inverst on my GC already. keep the money buy a better LCD monitor worth more. smile.gif But my GF3 no DVI. cry.gif

I have bad feeling that my monitor is sick now. unsure.gif
Noctua, ultra120, xp90C etc. OC united cooling thread got alot of HFS information. Many sifus there. Its better get a new HFS that can easily migrate to other platform.  wink.gif
*
Now the LCD is monitor is not so expensive compare to last time.What size do you want to buy?If just a conventional 17 inches" then about 500++ got already.

QUOTE(edministrator @ Mar 8 2007, 08:22 AM)
Prepare +-RM900 for 19" Widescreen LCD monitor bro. Then slowly change to a DVI card, maybe 7300GT later.  brows.gif  Diagnose properly first on what is the main source of your image issue, card or monitor.  wink.gif
*
irangan doesn't recommended the AGP card on 7300GT since he said the card doesn't o/c well and it's over price on AGP slots.

19" lcd(future prove) + dvi gc = RM1k++ sweat.gif sweat.gif wallet burn!

Want to get the 19" inches LCD with DVI GC ah?How much budget for you to get the GC? brows.gif A simple 9550 or older TI series could have an DVI output.

my psu?? i think you are refering to pengster. tongue.gif

i refer to 19" wide screen. i think 700 quite tight to get 1. + the GC put budget 200, lcd 700++ total almost 1k la......hmm..
*
Oh the PSU is pengster one?Haha blush.gif i didn't check back the page and i thought is yours one.Sorry.I think you can adjust your budget to RM750 to get the widescreen one and the GC under RM200 sure you can get 9550,don't worry about that.

If you are looking for 19" Inch, grab those from the Display Sales. Quite cheap. Of course, if you have the budget.. Buy the latest Samsung 22" WD 2ms LCD, 3000dynamic , only RM1500. Worth every cent man.

For GC, probably you get a Geforce 4 Ti series. Got DVI slot like the one that I am selling  brows.gif
6600GT only can go medium setting without aa and af. Anything more than that, will lag..
*
RM1.5k for a 22" inches LCD monitor. rclxub.gif It's like chopped off my leg already,my wallet burnt and nothing left. tongue.gif I think a 22" inches LCd monitor just simply too big for me already,not so nice for gaming.

Meanwhile i'm just able to set low details with average 45+ FPS on the resolution of 1024*768 settings in Carbon.

hmm..tried AA/HDR and AF in CSS and it was alright..gettin around 30-40fps average.

and tried AF in Starwars Battlefront II and no lag also.

If managed to get 40 FSP average should be good enough already. smile.gif I hope i will have one.

LOLZ... you going to upgrade soon and you bought a 6800gs. haha..

Thanks, man.. Hard to sell sad.gif
Wow.... Price drop... Nice nice
Then it is around the corner only. By end of next month.. More and more ppl going to the 'Dark Side' smile.gif

I see.. Good enough for now.. I heard mid of this year. 19 inches LCD price will drop.

what to do? as technology progress, older tech will be replace sooner or later. Luckily, 478 still can handle Windows Vista else it will die even faster. haha
Yaya.. 19" WS is so cheap but will get even cheaper mid of this year.
But not everyone have the place for another rig sad.gif

I had to sell off my 478 because cant find the right place to put it. sigh sigh
Casing can be reuse when u upgrade to C2D. So why not?

Anyway, there is a promotion for Lian Li casing at ATE now. I just got mine there. So damm cheap.
*
Yes S478 is quite old already.But for the moment now i will stick with it first cos i also don't have budget for C2D.Too poor man. sad.gif Regarding Vista,i think for the moment i still will not swtich into it as my system just having 1GB RAM only. sweat.gif

QUOTE(irangan @ Mar 11 2007, 11:12 PM)
ATE = A computer shop in Lowyat Plaza. Selling all kind of Lian Li casing.

I havent try to OC it because I dont trust my Acbel 450w. Too weak if you ask me.

Haha... New PSU coming soon
*
I am also using this PSU,it will fluctuate from time to time one.But for me is still ok cos i am not going into super hardcore man.The max i can o/c on my spec is 3.71GHz with 1:1 divider with benchmark passed. My RAM is limitting me,so sad.

1gb of ram is not enough juice for running vista smooth. 2gb will be better. I think xp running on 478 still can last for few years. smile.gif
*
I think shouldn't be a problem for that since we still have choice to run our system on Win XP. biggrin.gif But if i got 2GB RAM i might shift it to Vista environment,between the Vista also need a better display card to perform if want to enjoy it's 3D effects.
