why, what you got now?
i just posted that quite literally above…[/quote]
oh sorry, i’m an idiot lol, yeah, i don’t blame ya now
anyway. posted yours here yet?
edit: nvm it’s 2 pages back
that HDD. running RAID?
also r7-200 doesn’t tell much. r7-270?
260x and no I just haven’t thrown any hard drives away, most of those are like 7 years old by now, I have a really old 120G ide drive in a external enclosure that’s gotta be 10 + years old.
10yo+ HDD that’s sata compatible? O_O
Ide drive in a external enclosure, it runs off USB.
SATA was available in 2004, my K8N had two SATA and two PATA ports.
Specs:
CPU: Athlon II X2 255 (Slower than a damn celeron but gets the job done okay)
GPU: HD 7750 (runs automation pretty well)
RAM: 6 GB DDR3-1600
SSD: Kingston HyperX 128 GB
HDD: 500 GB Caviar Blue
Core 2 quad 2.8Ghz, 8Gb ram and a GTX 660Ti, I’ve been running this PC since 2008, don’t think I can do any more upgrading with it to keep it up with modern requirements, will need a new one soon
AMD Athlon II X2 260 3.2 GHZ 8Gig ram
AMD Radeon HD 6800
yeah its a bit old.
Two Asus Radeon 7970 graphics cards in Crossfire mode, Soundblaster Audigy, 8 GB of OCZ Reaper 8500 DDR2 RAM, Asus M3A79-T Deluxe mobo, all that stuffed into a CM Stacker STC-T01 case with dual 500W Seasonic PSUs and powered by Phenom II 1100T BE @4.0 GHz waiting to be pushed a bit more when I finally find some time and eagerness to swap the radiators…
Back when I had my 1100T the highest I could get her to go was 4400mhz on 6/6 with 1.504v under load.
Skys the limit!
Well, at least until AMD Zen comes out. I was flirting with an idea of switching to FX-9590 and running it at fixed 5 GHz but it would require buying new mobo and RAM (mind you, not the cheapest ones) which would still be Zen incompatible. Switching from AM2+ to AM3 and spending like a $1000 equivalent for stuff that would still be a stopgap setup half year before Zen CPUs being brought to the market is obviously a poor investment so I have to wait and enjoy what serves me well for 7 years now

Rule number 1 of Computers: Don’t buy shit in advance. Take Broadwell as an example, it was hyped to be a big thing but turned out to only be marginally (and I mean marginally) better than Haswell so far.

Keep in mind, that the Stars final stepping E-O (Aka Thubans) are much faster than even the Piledriver C0 (Vishera) at instruction per clock.
Fastest My 1100T would do was a 4400mhz core clock, 3300mhz CPU-NB, and would handle DDR3 speeds of 2090ish. I had it on a M4N98td EVO, and it was running two GTX-480s.
Keep in mind that Skylake is very, very very fast. If Zen doesn’t deliver I will have no quarrels with going to Skylake-E

still how did you managed to run 2 PSU at the same time??
CM Stacker STC-T01 ATX/BTX case is designed to house two PSUs. There’s a special passthrough cable that turns the secondary PSU on simultaneously with the first one with a single button. Just plug them in as you would with a single PSU in any other case and it works.
oh there’s a special connector. so it’s running in parallel right?
