I basically backed off the common 190MHz (over)clock to 185.
Everything at stock voltage, didn't need to crank it up. Runs nice and cool.
With the Tri-Channel Memory, and high clocks it is way more machine than I really need.
Maybe with my new HiDef (1920x1080) video camera I will use more of the power.








Also have a few other systems kicking around.
- Athlon II x2 245 @ 2.9GHz, 4 Gig Ram, XP, etc
- Dell e6400 Lap Core 2 Duo @ 2.53 / 4 gigs XP
- Acer Aspire 5738 Core 2 Duo @ 2.2GHz, 4 Gigs, ATI 4570, etc.
- Dell Latitude D620 Core 2 Duo @ 1.66GHz XP
- Dell Latitude D800 Pentium M 2.0GHz XP
- Acer Aspire One NetBook Atopm 270 @ 1.6GHz XP

Hey Sickone, you should drop the dual boot, just run Windows 7 x64 and use your XP license in a Sun VirtualBox VM (Or VMWare player). Its easier and faster than dual booting and takes less disk space. Everything that you need XP in order to do, can be done in a XP VM without the need to shut down your entire OS and reboot the machine, its awesome.

Now I wonder what kind of clocks you could get on water cooling...

Oh yeah, I haven't posted in this yet this year...

Still chugging on the same machine:
Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 GHz @ 3.0 GHz (stock voltage)
Arctic Cool Freezer 7 pro (v1) CPU cooler
8 GB Corsair DDR2 @ 667 MHz 1:1
Abit AW9D-MAX mobo
Nvidia 8800 GT 512 MB
700w OCZ PSU
320 GB Seagate 7200.10 OS/programs
750 GB Seagate 7200.11 download/work/mirror drive
1500 GB Seagate 7200.11 bulk storage/mirror
Pioneer 20x DVDRW
Dualview CRT @ 1280x960/100 Hz and 20\" 1600x1200 LCD.

Hey ya Krom

I have Sun VirtualBox, have only played with it a bit. I rarely (in fact currently never) boot to XP. I put it in when I brought the system up because I have some very old software (~1995) that I need to run sometimes. It was my safety net. I'll get VirtualBox setup when I have time and verify it works with everything.

I suspect I could get some big clock jumps with Water cooling. I can go farther now. It seemed everyone was getting 190MHz (3.8/3.99GHz) with voltage bumps. I can do 188 with no bumps. I just set it at 185 because a few MHz doesn't make any real difference to me. The system is way faster than I need.

It was just fun to build a system again. Back in the 'Asylum' I had 20 systems, all leading to bleeding edge. But I hadn't built a new Desktop in 8 years. It was almost out of boredom, not need.
That brought me back here... so well worth the money.

Been converting some Digital Video tapes to MPG from the old days before the tapes crap out... great to look back on some of those weekly LAN nights.
Nirvana, Birdseye, Mayhem, Vander, Rock, Jason Leighton after he left Outrage, and many others. Great stuff

I am rambling...

I'm almost done with my PC room revamp but this is how it looked:



And this is how it looks now:

I have always wanted to post my setup and now i finally get to brag.

Finally got round to finishing my setup the way I intended it to be

1x Triple Head Eyefinity Setup on Win 7
1x Dual View Setup on Win XP
1x Single View Setup on Unbuntu
1x Keyboard & Mouse control interface for all 3 setups via synergy making it work as one integrated system

nice. i have that same backround on my ps3. im working on getting 2 new 40\" bravias in a couple of weeks so i can have stereoscopic view. they are like dime a dozen now. good tv's for below 600 dollars. my fiance just wants me to move it out of the living room. my graphics card can support up to 6!
