On My New Computer :)

[Conor]

Yay! On the new PC...just finished building.

CPU: Athlon 3700+ 2.0ghz
1GB RAM
80GB HD
eVGA Geforce 6600 GT


Those are main specs...

Got 2 questions:

A) Can I edit my BIOS anytime I want? How?
B) Does anybody have experience with the Ultra-V series of PSUs? My fan doesn't seem to be working ATM...

1.) Yes you can edit the bios anytime. Usually the way into it is by pressing the delete, f10 or Esc key at bootup.

2.) If your PSU is not working correctly I sugest going to get a new one before this one does damage to your new setup. There is no real sense in fixing it cause they are cheap these days.

 

[Conor]

Got it working.

Thanks.

 

[bigguy]

Sounds like a nice pc. Make sure you take care off the PSU though.

 

[Alejandro]

Looks great, 1gig RAM is really good. Congrats Conor!!

CPU: Athlon 3700+ 2.0ghz

you should get some thing like

CPU: Athlon 3700+ 2.9ghz or 3.0

that will keep up with your 1 gig

those specs are alright. but I wouldn't play half-life 2 on that.

 

[MicrotechXP]

Yup...Inetl would have done better...but congrats on your new PC!

 

[Spartan Erik]

those specs are alright. but I wouldn't play half-life 2 on that.

speaking of HL2, would it work well on my comp: its a p4 with 2.6 ghz, 1 gig ram, 128 mb graphics

i only installed HL2 so i could play cs:source, but yeah im just wondering, would HL2 work?

btw congrats to conor

 

[soten355]

yeah, it should work. you kinda sneaked by with the 2.6 ghz, just hope you have alot of memory and a good graphics card.

 

[bigguy]

AmD has beat out Intel on almost every benchmark. That is a fact. Intel IMHO is not the way to go right now. (Just my opinion though)

Yup...Inetl would have done better...but congrats on your new PC!

 

[Conor]

Sorry typo on the speed. 2.2ghz (Proven to run like an Intel 3.4 )

On CS:S I am running 126.53 FPS (frames per second)

 

[Brandon]

126.53 FPS Doesn't beat me with a Geforce 7800 GT!

 

[Phil]

Well I'm not even able to run it on my laptop

 

[Brandon]

Lol... I get 200+ FPS with my coputer.

 

[Conor]

Holy nice...well I getting more RAM now anyways

Anybody got any standard temperatures for me? Right now:

CPU: 37 degrees celsius
MB: 26 degrees celsius
PSU: 29 degrees celsius

 

[bigguy]

Those tempuratures seem about the norm, I dont think theres a problem there.
