New toy, YAY

[Gunner]

My P4 2.4 Ghz lived a long great life of 10 years.  Needed something new, had enough "donations" from my software to get new parts.  Just got the parts for this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1224560&Sku=C11-1099.  Bumped it up to 8gb of RAM. Here I thought the P4 was faily fast.  I love this new box, the water cooler is great too!  No AGP (guess that is old tech now huh), so I have to figure out what PCIe graphics card to get.  I was afraid the same PID I used to register my 32bit Win7 wouldn't work for the 64 version, but no problems (guess that is why 2 versions came with Ultimate?)  I will take the other SATA drive out of the old box and maybe get a 3rd to do RAID.  I never seen 200mm fans, man are they BIG :-)  If I need more air flow, I can connect 8 fans...  The case is humongeous, tons of room for stuff.  Been itchin to build a new box, glad I did!

Well, I am impressed with this water cooler.  OC'd the chip, went from 3.2 to 3842.4 (226 x 17) with 1.44 volts.  Been running Prime95 for a few hours and running other stuff and can still use the computer :-)  No load - 98°, operating is 131 - 146ish, can't get it above 129 - 131...
