Well... Northwood processor is always cool. But when i remove the casing fan(cos my room is getting hot thanks to my CPU), the temperature shoots up to 45 degree. Guess casing fan is a must for my rigs...

Anyone count me in please.

Nice setup u have there. 6 series monsta!

Definitely not the PSU problem. I think its my mobo. Both mobos that I have are all value series. Cant push much. Max I've gotten is 2.88Ghz. After that cannot adi. haha

I want HT. If only my proc is 3Ghz with HT. Dont need to OC or anything also good adi.

omg 6800 MONSTA has arrived

lol thats definitely kicking most of the games todays arses still

great rig there valiant
pretty high end stuff there for a p4 rig
875P chipset, 3.2GHz, 6800ultra..

Man.. Thats 875 chipset eh.. If im not mistaken.. That mobo run full PAT right? Instead of 865PE which only partially enable. Its definitely a great P4 setup.

what's PAT?

PAT = Performance Acceleration Technology

Google it. Hint is given, so google it.

6800 Ultra. I still remember a few years ago, that monster costs around RM2k if im not mistaken

That rig easily costs above RM5k last time when s478 was in its prime time.

Yea. Almost the price of High end Quad setup for now.. Omigosh!! Tech is way move too fast.. And the value of $$ changed so much. 5years back 5k just for a single core w/f HT + AGP setup and maybe with a 17' LCD. 5K for now? Quad w/f PCIE setup + 24' LCD. Still rmb the time where P4 were on the price of current Intel 9 series proc. 1k+!

yeah..i remember the time when i got my home pc. rm2k for basically nothing in the rig..haha..2.0GHz, no gc, 256mb ram, 40gb hdd, cd-rom, crt. 5-6 years after that, i got my c2d rig for about that price too , well minus all the upgrades la..

he could have gotten it progressively, it wouldnt cost that much then

i got mine progressively and not 1 shot

1 shot would just be ridicolours too expensive !

but still its great setup ! im sure still playing games today with it

@Valiant
Wow, that was a sick rig with good stuffs.


BTW people, I had a question to ask. How to make this reply as a standalone instead of added to my previous reply. I had been playing around with the settings but yet I can't find a way to do it. Hope someone can enlighten me.


Attached thumbnail(s)

Haha.. Yea! Quite true. My current setup only cost me less then 1k. Tech is way too fast to come out and got too fast been slashed.

@KahLooN
There is a function call "Do not combine with previous post" on the reply page if u had reply once before and wanna add another reply thread. See picture, tick it to make ur reply post is standalone rather then merge with ur previous post.

@fylon
Thanks for the feedback. Damn, how come i never notice the function below it.

BTW, Valiant's 3.2GHz + 875P + 6800Ultra rig still capable of doing some serious works.

Hah.. No problem.

Lol.. Even without OC, valiant's rigs will do the work quite good already.

Will 6800Ultra be more power hungry than 6800GT?

For sure. If not mistaken, 68Ultra required 2x 4pin power it up.

2x 4pin Never see such card before... Is there ant pci-e card that also requires 2 power supply connector? Just curious...
