That's cool. I was looking at a case in the pic posting WC sticky, this is my fav of all.

That of course is not mine, but it's a great design. My guess is that he has 2 x 120 mm fans on that fanshroud (im guessing that's what the red block is in back of...
If it doesn't work, then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe your power supply can't give the necessary amps to the memory bus....
Other than that, the new memory could have different chips..... I doubt though.
If it doesn't work, then the mobo just doesn't feel like supporting that much...
I believe I am referring to the items correctly. I'm extrememly new to the watercooling lingo rings, so bear with me please. :D
There are 3/8 ID and 1/2 ID fittings that are standard If I'm not mistaken.
So you would use 1/2 ID tubing for 1/2 ID fittings and 3/8ID tubing for 3/8 ID fittings.
That is one thing that does concern me....I want to use 1/2ID fittings, but the 3/8ID fittings I know cause more restriction and therefore resistance. I dont really want to use converters, I would like to keep with the 1/2ID fittings, any suggestions?
I dont' know which to decide on. I'm looking at waterblocks at the moment. With dual outlets, don't you have to Y them back together to one tube?
So far, the little river cascade seems to be the best waterblock, and only having one outlet. But I see that might be hard to come by.
It's best to reformat after installing a new motherboard. There are new address ranges, motherboard resources, etc that the system can't cope with without a new installation.
Again, post the Amperage of the +12v rail...I don't care too much that he's tried a different power suplly, for all I know, that other one could have been too weak too. Please just post the ratings....
And I never said anyone here was ignorant, please do not post things like that. That's not...
I'm a hardcore MSI fan myself, I have this bad boy running at 3.75 and a 1GHz fsb just fine.
MSI 865PE-Neo2 FISR2 is what I run, but I reccomend the MSI 865PE Platinum Edition
I dunno man, every book i've read (and that's dozens) have always stated to never mix ram or you will get hard parity errors. Alot of boards have problems supporting more than 1GB of ram, that's just fact. Although they say they can support up to 4gb;s, I wouldn't even try to put more than 1 GB...
RMA that processor now.
I will NEVER buy a LGA775 ever. If you want that 1MB L2 cache, go with the Socket 478 Prescott.
HOWEVER that L2 cache doesn't make a difference vs northwood, just allows it to compete with the northwood.
I reccomend, if your going to waste 400bux, get the 3.4GHz...
Dont use anything that says INTEL if you're using the promise controller. The promise does not interface with the intel in ANY way.
And have you hit up anandtech lately? Raid-0's are overrated. :D
All PLCC tools suck, for real. I have removed dozens, with a kife. Just go around the ends of the chip, wedging up little by litte. Make sure you come up evenly though, you dont want bent pins.
That's a large, very large mistake. I bum around the MSI forums hard - Ruckus17 over there.
You you ever have any problems with an MSI board, head over there, tons of knowledagable people and I havn't ever encoutered a problem I couldn't solve.
Some advice about MSI boards:
Dont use...
Hrmmm, the more I hang around the [H] forums, the more I realize some people don't know how to correctly diagnose system problems. First step in this would be to assume the PSU is the problem.
What is the Amperage on the +12v rail, off of your power supply. And what brand is the power supply.
I need to correct you on the enermax dual rails. The ATX version 1.2 and 1.3 reference PSU units from enermax have dual +12v rails for the motherboards for P4's, not for video cards, your information is horribly wrong.
One of the +12v rails goes into the motherboard, supplying the motherboard...
I'm an enermax fan myself. They make good power supplies with high currents on the +12v rail, and that's good for modern systems.
Antec, enermax are my favs. Pc,PnC are the best by far, but fork out the bux for it tho. It's really worth it if you can spare the cash, If not, antec and enermax...
Anyone here ever heard of NOT mixing ram???
It's a nono, parity errors, etc. Especially in non ECC ram....if you get ram, you want the EXACT same stuff, that's why you buy dual channel kits to run dual channel......otherwise they would just sell single sticks.
Teh PSU is gonna kill ur system man, 12A in the +12v rail is n3g. You'll need something better, I bet you money it wont boot or will crash often.
18A on the +12v rail is a minimum nowadays, especially for these high powered processors.
Sounds like a power supply problem but the 18A on the +12v rail should be sufficient....see if you can get your hands on another powersupply, a quality power supply too. Antec, Enermax....
