CodyB Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 XP pro 32 for now...I'll wait a lil bit for Windows 7 to mature before I throw it on...we will see You should dual boot it for giggles. I consider Vista to have been the beta to win 7, The RC that I have been running is at least 50x more stable than the preloaded vista that came with my laptop, and the SP1 and SP2 vistas as well... I honestly would compare XP and 7 side by side and laughed if anyone mentioned vista. The only problem I ran into with 7 was my OBD II USB Scanner, I just had to put its driver software in compatibility mode with Vista and it worked like a charm, a few obscure apps like that too but all major ones work just fine. Good luck if you decide to try it and nice job on the 'puter. Quote 88-98 GM Full Size Forum www.GMT400.com i put fuses on power wires, and condoms on fuses, to keep the fuses safe!

Herrie_V Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 VERY NICE !if you want another 300gig 10k raptor drive to run raid on ill sell you mine sometime later. just lemme know ! P.S. Why is ur cooler crooked ? I knew you'd like that...lol200MM...And the reason why its crooked is that the evga p55 boards have mounting holes for either an lga775 or an lga1156 cpu cooler...with the lga775 being turned a little bit. Doesn't affect performance any, just looks crooked. Forgot to add that the V8 only has brackets out for lga775 and lga1366 right now...

S15_Silvia Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Your heatsink shouldn't be turned like that...its sides should be parallel to their respective sides of the case. Especially with the CM V8, which is a little heavier than most. If I were you I'd check the mounts just to be safe. Other than that it's bitchin. (I dig the Velociraptor ) Oh wait...just read that you have a P55 board with both sets of mounts. Nevermind, keep it comin!

Static Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) I don't really do much PC gaming but I may get back into it now that I have a fairly capable platform...lolXP pro 32 for now...I'll wait a lil bit for Windows 7 to mature before I throw it on...we will see lol "fairly capable" ? haha I'm diggin the card and the processor. You have good cable management. You probably have this, But I would double check to make sure. I would have the 200mm fan as intake and have the 2 120mm fans in the back as out. I've heard of people getting that processor up to about 4ghz no problem at all. I have not experience with the V8 though. Why did you go with a 32 bit xp os instead of 64? Your 4 gigs won't be utalized with 32 bit. Also, don't go with windows 7 lol. It'll still be bugged just like Vista is currently even with years to come. Other than that, Clean build. I like What are your temperatures running at? Edited October 11, 2009 by Static Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
