Upgrade System

longam · 11-18-08, 06:21 PM

The beast has arrived and I'm posting from it now. Very impressed with the quality and looks, it reminds me of our dell server at work as far as the case size and interior setup.

The polished aluminum case with black front and blue LED's is a very nice touch and not to distracting for normal use. Every inch of the case was covered in protective plastic.

I have noticed is how quiet it is. I'm use to my 3 fans blazing with the vid card running its fan up and down. Going to take some time getting use to that. Installation of my spare hard drive was way to easy, no tools needed.

Anyway, just getting into it and I know this will give me many years of gaming and upgrades. Install - Install - setup - time to watch progress bars for a few days....

I never did know how the TC would be above 2400. Now I know! No more do I watch the blip cross the screen, fantastic.

Signing off.

Dell has them as Dual channel already. Dells altered nForce 790i boards max support is 4 gigs. not 8 like Nvidia's Nforce 790i boards.

You could try it manually but I don't know what will happen. I found this strange too.

Wait till your warranty expires before you play with it. Or kiss it goodbye if something goes wrong.:hmm:
