It has been 3 years since my I left my journey with AMD. Well it's 2010 and I'm picking it back up. Also it has been a few years since I started a work log on a PC. Lately I have just waited to post the thread when the system is built. Here is what I have so far.

Attachment 2860

I have lots of work to do starting with the cheap arse side window that came with this case. Need to order me a sheet of lexan and go to town on it. Also need to work on single braiding my PSU or just take the easy route and order some pre braided extensions.

Hardware List So Far:

COOLER MASTER Storm Scout
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition
ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD 890FX
XFX Radeon HD 5450 (Cedar) 1GB GPU
CORSAIR Professional Series AX850 PSU
Mushkin Enhanced Redline 4GB
COOLER MASTER V6 GT 120mm DynaLoop CPU Cooler
Crucial RealSSD C300 256GB
Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB
Thermaltake 3.5" HDD Converter
COOLER MASTER 120mm Red LED Case Fan
ASUS 24x DVD Burner

I know your going to laugh at the GPU I picked. It is just to get me by until the new ATI's drop. It is the same GPU I picked for my HTPC and when done with it, it will go in the HTPC Crossfire style. Hopefully we can get some more AMD going here as all Intel makes for a boring day. Stay tuned... :D

sexy new hardware pron FTW :)

CPU Stepping for those interested - CCBBE CB 1021APMW

I forgot just what a bitch AMD coolers are to install. Waiting on the RAM to show up tonight so I can take a stab at it. Something tells me it won't be easy. This Cooler Master V6 is a beast. I hate to see the V10!!!! It has a 120 mm fan going sideways on it!!! ROFL

Going to have to pick up another 4GB of RAM as 4GB just isn't enough for me. I guess I have been spoiled on 6GB's for too long.

Hopefully I can get this Crucial C300 SSD to act right on this mobo. Couldn't get it to on my Asus Premium or at least the on the Sata III side. Sata II was just fine. If not I know some Mushkin's that will treat me just right. :D

looks nice make me wanna make love to it :laughing: i kidding

but i hate those amd brakets had to order one for my parents nephew kicked the case playing with my other nephew and broke one end to it :Dizzy:

every component in that pc owns, nice pics Nippy.

Sweet looking rig Nip :) I am going back to AMD for my gaymer in a couple weeks so I can start tweaking the classified. Going to miss all the noise and heat.

Getting ready to build almost the same identicle rig Dr Nip. I am looking at these two coolers:

I hear the Hyper 212 is very good up to a point...don't really plan on doing much of an overclock for this gamer. I would like to see some temps from your's before buying tho...:good:

I have the 1st one and let me tell you it is huge!!! Hopefully I have time to get it fired up tonight. It appears that with the cooler in tack I won't be able to put the top 120mm fan I ordered on the window. :( We'll see though.

I use the 212 Hyper on an unlocked 550 at 4ghz 1.5v and it stays cool enough to never crash lol. Don't think it'll handle a 6 core at the same speed/volts though.

Good to know...I may have to reconsider that one then. Thanks!
