just got my cam back ^^

some earlier work i done on my v351



better GPU temps now, 5c to 10c lower than my previous setting
4890 vapor-x, core load temps 81c

my cm geminii S fan is pulling air upwards into PSU, lol
load temps for phenom 720 @ 3.5ghz is around 53c

@crapp0
AFAIK no one bringing in p55 matx yet...

wah ur geminiis really looks very good..
haihz.. too bad kenot get..

Im not in malaysia. So that means that there are micro atx boards for the core i5. All i need is the suitable PSU and casing to go with it.

where are u at?

singapore and sometimes the states or australia.

that's a sweet setup, but I really can't imagine how long it took for u to remove the rivets manually ..

get modular PSU like Corsair HX 620, the slim and modular cable really come in handy...

if u sleeve the connectors and sata cable, it would be totally awesome looking case loh ..

@doom

Thank heavens my Stanley screwdriver is hard enough to punch through those rivets,
whole process took me less than an hour.

i'd thought about hx520/620 or cm silent pro m600
but sadly due to budget issue, cannot procure those PSU or a dremel/rtx for proper mod work

hmmm cable sleeving... will try that some time in the near future

how's your 5850 performance ? good temps & silent ?

@crapp0
just checked newegg, asus maximus III gene, MSI p55m-gd45 & gigabyte GA-P55M-UD4

@fr0sti3
Perfect, 1st time ever in my 5 years of gc migration I dont need to worry about putting a third party cooler on it at all

It's quiet and cool .. well the temperature isn't low to bottom of earth but it's fine within 60c at load.

but when I get my things ready I'd try to slap my Trad2 on it ..

Is it possible to fit those boards into a shuttle pc type of casing? or something abit bigger but not a tower case?

@doom

whoa 5850 at least it is power efficient and powerful.
nice... when will take a jump and upgrade to i7

@crapp0
shuttle casing?
itx board might be possible with some mod.
or just go buy itx casing with itx board. should be widely available.

if u're in sg then get evga P55 micro la..
i bought my evga x58 micro there also..

P55 micro should be sgd299 oni

only 300 sing dollars? now thats rather expensive.

read this before getting P55 for extreme OC loh
P55 Extreme Overclockers: Check your sockets!

skip them foxconn sockets !

Hey guys, just knew about this thread. I am totally a newbie in this, but was wondering if anyone can recommend me a good system and casing?

Primary use would be for browsing, torrenting, and the occasional games like Red Alert 3,Warhammer: Dawn of War, Football Manager. Not high end gaming, just ok enough specs to run those games smoothly.

Budget would be less than RM2000, where can I purchase them in KL. I quite like Silverstone's casings. Many thanks and I appreciate the feedbacks guys.

Edit: Scratch that, Aopen G326 looks kinda nice as well, wonder what can I fit inside that is under Rm2000?

i got my x58 micro for 400bucks...

now for the similar performance and lower TDP cpu..
that sounds cheap to me

So can a micro atx board fit into a SFF casing, something like a shuttle pc casing or maybe just abit bigger?

Since i am planning to build a portable SFF core i5 system with a ati 5850. I would prefer a coolermaster case but i dont think they have any cases which may fit a core i5 in a sff.

@slyyoung
With ur budget I dont think u should look at Silverstone case coz it cost starting from RM3++...

look for other model like microfly and etc which would give u better deal.

go for AMD setup see if can fit it under ur budget loh

@crapp0
matx motherboard can fit in any micro atx specific case.

but most likely wont fit into shuttle kind of case..

for your requirement any matx case would be able to do so but the size is definitely larger than Shuttle ...

So theres no p55 board which is capable of fitting into a shuttle type of casing?

So whats the smallest casing i can get for a micro atx motherboard? and whats its size in relation to a shuttle sff casing?

Given u requirement of i5 and 5850, I wont suggest to go for smallest possible case, coz it would compromise the cooling performance and resulting unstable system.

In general, Shuttle case is like 30% smaller than smallest matx case..
