My First Build (Lots of pics)

Looks pretty sweet!!!! :)

First hint is to ensure your memory is set to the proper voltage in bios.

Then grab yourself some overclocking tools.... http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...chmarking/12620-overclocking-tools-trade.html (cpu-z first so that you can see what your current settings are).

The basics are fairly simple.... you can raise the multiplier of your cpu without touching your bus speed to see what kind of speeds you can get out of it even before you start playing with extra vcore. After that it's a matter of playing with the bus speed and the various multipliers to find the best combination (as well as voltages).... best bet is to start with your cpu speed, while you're testing out the upper limits of that, keep an eye on your memory / northbridge / htt multipliers to keep them as close to stock as possible.
 
Nice build mate, I too bought my Hyper 212+ from memory express in Calgary, except my PM was approved with no fuss at all.

The case and all other parts color combination looks great, led fans doing a nice job.

Oh yeah there definetly wasn't any fuss. They honored it no problem, but considering the price I got... I can see why he was frustrated lol

Pretty sweet first build man, I like those Lancool cases. I've got the same mouse if the one you've got is a Copperhead, cept mines blue ;) I'm also looking forward to BF:BC2 so maybe we can squad up sometime. Hopefully I can get in the Beta too...

Update: NB is under control!

I was having HUGE temperature issues with the northbridge chipset and I read on overclock.net that a lot of people have the same problem with this board. So I replaced the sh*tty factory TIM and found a use for my stock phenom II cooler fan. And now were rocking! Dropped 22 degrees! :punk:


horrible pink crusty TIM with the consistency of bubble gum

All clean!
