Not sure what exact model, but here's the CPU-Z pic. When it's measured in um you know it's old!

Um is just a preposition to a guess as to how old it really is. Carbon dating put this processor in the paleoperformic era.

True true. I have older socket A's that'll put that CPU into the weeds in the benchmark of your choice.

Chicken Patty 09-07-2009 03:18 PM

Hello everyone, I'm David from Miami Florida. I am 22 years of age at the moment, been into PC's since I'm about 14 or 15, but started to build them at the age of 17 or so. Little by little I got into overclocking and not only building, but modding PC's and here I am. Just can't get enough of it. I go by the name of "Chicken Patty" hence the username. My home forum is Tech Power Up, if some of you are over there, you'll know I'm pretty popular, got over 8k posts, so that'll tell you enough.

My hobbies are computers, cars, and aviation. I drive a 1997 Eagle Talon TSi AWD, got a few mods, nothing major. As far as aviation, I'm a huge BOEING fan and I love to go spotting at my local airport Miami International (KMIA for all you aviation freaks). Other than that don't know what to say.

I got two rigs, one is the main rig (cruncher), and the 2nd one is just a cruncher, below you'll find the stats of my main rig :)

Core i7 920
EVGA X58 Motherboard
Nanya 6GB (3 x 2GB)
PNY 9800GX2
PCP&C 860W PSU
CPU Under Custom Water Cooling

I have already came across a few and I'm enjoying my stay already :D

I am on stock cooling as of yesterday, took apart the i7 rig to inspect a few components, but everything is fine. I am going to wait a few and order some new BP Compression Fittings to redo the loop before putting it back in a case.

Check out my thread, this will give you an idea of what components I have, below is the latest pic of the rig before it was taken apart and after I took it apart. The res you saw in the log and the res in the pic are different, I traded the EK 250 for a EK 150

Just FYI, If you guys followed the link to my log on TPU, the post with the pics says I am RMA'ing the board. I was, but everything is working as it should so I won't go through the hassle unless I have a reason to.

marcam923 09-16-2009 10:36 PM

Wow what can I say, this is the thread dream forums are made of, big enough to leave a footprint, small enough to know your name.

With that I shall introduce myself to those who may not know me as of yet.

(p.s. this darn illness I have has me up in pain...)


Nik: Marcam923
one and only nick, broken down, first name - Marc middle initial - A Last name starts with M D.O.B. 9-23

Marcam923 ;)

Forums: I float around all forums, recently through some life changes, I have been away for a bit, but my main homes are Evga, 411overkill, here, also find me at TPU, [H] forum, overclock.net, anandatech, angora, and i'm sure i am missing a couple...

Real name: Marc

Profession: current: VOIP at EVGA, also me and my father have a business, car detailing (custom graphics, pinstripes etc...) and of course signs, fleet vehicle lettering, custom decals etc... if you are looking for anything of that nature, hit me up, I give the best deals you can find. :Hi: :good:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b5...r/DSC01196.jpg

4' x 24' signs, vinyl lettering, custom printed spray gun and spray pattern

A couple more:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b5...s/DSC02880.jpg

Hobbies: modding/overclocking/benching, movies, and many many more

Benchmarks: my fav of all time has to be 3DMark06
I can tell you by heart where FPS will drop, and I love the third 3D bench where the dragon jumps out of the water and trys to swallow the airship (also the highest point for FPS through the entire benchtest. ;)

I remember one night, on a forum not so far away, me and the big guys, Soups and Foamer, having a little benching night so to speak, through a thread. We were pushing our rigs respectively, definitely a night that one day may go down in OC'ing history :Hi:

Current HW:
Evga x58 LE
i7 920
2x GTX275
150gb raptor
HX1000
Cosmos 1000
case custom modded, and I must say my best work to date. It's funny when we create something or achieve something that makes us sit back and just stare. I am in awe fellas, and lady :Hi:

Prefered SW: WIN XP of course, should be installing WIN 7 shortly and from what I hear, should be a new fav for me.

About me: Well back in 94 me and my sister's ex husband built my first computer. I then bought 2, and forgot what a joy was building them. Got back into it around the release of Evga's 680i, built me a little system that could, and modded the hell out of what started life as one ugly case.

It became the Superman case, and kind of got me some attention.
Here she is:
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b5...r/DSC01196.jpg

That is when the modding with purpose began. I love working with my hands, and took a little $40 case, that I bought when I knew nothing of manufacturer's and made it into something that looked good, but most of my mods were to increase airflow, hence performance.

Well I am at it again, and have just finished something that I think alot of you will like. Let's see if Soups can figure out the hidden meaning behind the project name - Krypto

When I put a name to something I like to tie the entire mod together, if it does not all flow, it just does not fit. Check out my thread in member's rigs for a full final explaination after final pictures are posted, here is a teaser.

Glad to see everyone here, and welcome all and hello to those I have not yet met. :Hi:

marcam923 09-16-2009 10:44 PM

side note, that's my kitty Bailey in the first pic with Krypto, he always seems to find his way into my shots.

Third I am competing in this years case mod competition over on the Coolermaster forums, judging will begin Oct 1st and I would love all of your support!

Chicken Patty 09-17-2009 12:09 PM

looks like you've been around a few. Anyhow welcome and enjoy your stay.

Is that mobo tray painted, looks like it.

Neuromancer 09-17-2009 12:32 PM

I think its a painted screen on the back side you are seeing inside the case.

Yes actually the only part of the mobo tray remaining, is that behind the mobo, check out my worklog.

On the back side panel, there is a printed graphic, that I printed on vinyl, on the exterior of the case and on the inside of the case. :thumbsup:

Neuromancer 09-19-2009 09:51 AM

Real nice job on that.

Wish I had that type of artistic skill. Never could grasp it. Logically I can do it, body just does not cooperate lol.
