Very nice build.
Are you planning to push your CPU much further?

Gah, I missed that too, heh. Also, what OS?
Just another quick note to the OP - you might want to list your specs in your profile so people can see them in every post you make if they want to.

2x3i5x · « **Reply #4 on:** July 17, 2009, 04:32:57 PM »

or if you later have a problem or a question relating to your computer, you don't need to always list your pc information since it'll be right there.

Cahl · « **Reply #5 on:** July 17, 2009, 06:31:21 PM »

Ha, yeah, I was kinda rushing so i knew i had forgot something lol, im using a Corsair HX620 Modular PSU, been great, although i havent liked the cables.. (on a sata cable a pin got pushed back when i plugged it in the sata on the dvd rom, there really like rough and not very good quality, tried a sata that came with my Gigabyte motherboard, went in so perfectly and easy.
But either than that, i like the flat cables

.
For the OS im using Windows 7 64Bit RC (7100) Love it lol, runs so smooth, havent found anything yet that doesnt work on it!
And later on I may push the CPU further, but i guess i dont really need to now lol, it idles around 30C now

Yeah, i'll put it my specs in my profile now - thanks

So what NIC did you incorporate into the build?

computeruler · « **Reply #31 on:** July 28, 2009, 05:13:10 PM »

Why are you so obsessed wit the NIC!? Im going to guess that it was just the onboard lan

Quantos · « **Reply #32 on:** July 28, 2009, 05:14:40 PM »

The OP has gone into detail on everything else.

I remember my first IESA card. Enquiring minds want to know.

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #33 on:** July 28, 2009, 05:23:16 PM »

EISA.

That was a short-lived standard. Say, remember VL-Bus? I still have a book that has a little inset that says to "wait before buying PCI or VL-Bus to see which one wins out" heh, I guess PCI won.

Quantos · « **Reply #34 on:** July 28, 2009, 05:24:51 PM »

Yes, but I could control the bus speed of EISA, I don't remember much of VL.

Anyway, I still wanna know what NIC he used.

computeruler · « **Reply #35 on:** July 28, 2009, 05:25:46 PM »

Probably the onboard one.....

Boozu · « **Reply #36 on:** July 28, 2009, 07:56:58 PM »

What is the point of having a "NIC" If you have onboard gigabit. Even if you don't have gigabit you probably are fine because I can't think of a game that that would use that much of your bandwith. It's not like a add on card can make you any faster. you only need a ton of bandwith if you are constantly downloading things, running a server, or you are a constent torrent seeder.

I can.

Ok what game?

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #39 on:** July 28, 2009, 08:45:51 PM »

gigabit is great for LAN transfers, through networked machines. for example my laptop (wireless N, 300mbps) and my desktop (100/1000) have sharing setup between them... copies go much faster then when I limit it to a 100mbps connection.

Anything on a WAN. You're limited by the server.

Actually, I don't remember asking you for your opinion, I'm sure I was asking the fellow that built the computer what he used.

Ya a server. It's the server that has to have the high bandwith not you. Unless like I said, you are the one running the server.

Boozu · « **Reply #44 on:** July 28, 2009, 09:13:13 PM »

Yes that is true but I asked you a question and I think everyone would be happier if Cahl would just post and tell us what he is using.

I answered your question.

I also seem to be the only one interested in what he is using as a NIC.

I wouldn't mind knowing... but I can practically guarantee it's the on-board component.

considering how much most people use the net these days, it's amazing how little attention is often payed to the network adapter.

2x3i5x · « **Reply #48 on:** July 29, 2009, 10:51:48 AM »

Probably NIC seems to be pretty much the same, and I mean if nobody's really caring about the NIC, then any decent one one do, even if it's the onboard one.

Quantos · « **Reply #49 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:43:56 PM »

Cahl · « **Reply #50 on:** July 31, 2009, 06:24:53 AM »

Crap! Sorry guys lol, i stopped checking because no one replied for a few days lol, this isn't like other forums i guess!
To answer your question, I'm using Onboard lol, I didn't think a seperate card was nessacery for internet (And i'm not entirley sure if i know what it is, im guessing its a card that like keeps LAN/WAN speeds fast and stable? Am I right?

I have no idea what kizza1645 is talking about lol, a transformer?? Haha, that'd be cool.

Yeah, so sorry it took so long to reply, and could ya'll give me a heads up on NIC and if i'm on the right track of what it does?

Thanks. (I'll make it notify of replies now, and i'll check back every day haha)
