my new current system...
3700+ clawhammer, s754
Sythe Ninja HSF
Gigabyte GA-K8NE
1GB DDR500 mushkin (1x1GB @ 2.5-3-3-6 1T)
PCI-E e-VGA 6800GS
80GB WesternDigital HD
CoolerMaster 450watt RS-450-ACLY PSU
AeroCool AeroEngine2 case
+2x thermaltake 120mm LED fans
= $670 Total for the system itself
+ some spare 120mm fans, LEDs, Fan controler and Thermal monitors, logitec MX510 and media KB, and Creative 2.1 T3000 speakers = $770 Total
I only tested it to make shur everything works, i dont have it put together and running right now because im buisy making measurments for a custom air duct mod im going to make for it so Everything, the CPU, GPU and Southbridge all run off on only 2 120mm fans.. so it should be virtualy noisless.
il probably have it clocked as so when i get it setup... CPU= 2.5Ghz @ 210fsb, GPU = 475mhz @ 1100mem
I know i can clock everything higher then that, but i didnt plan on overclocking at all, however its safe to say that that particular hadware can run easily at those setting with no extra stress on the system at all.
when i asembled the parts and tested them, these were my readings, no overclocking at all at this point...
CPU Temp = 23C idle 34C full load <-- the Ninja HSF can run fanless at idle but i ran it witha fan.
GPU = 34C idle, 52C full load
Doom3 Timedemo @ Ultra, 1024x, 2xAA, 16xAF = 89FPS.... same @ 1600x res = 49FPS
3Dmark05 = 5100
Aquamark3 = 67,000
im guessing once i OC it slightly it might score 5600 3Dm05, 78,000 Aquamark3
