nice

im buying the parts for my new comp soon

someone is going to teach me to build

Dead easy to chuck um together the hard bit is selecting the parts.

Nice desktop pic . Is that a program to find the temp of your processor?

[johneva]

The one showing the temp (Ai Booster) is also used for overclocking it is a program that comes with the MOBO, gives the option to change voltages and frequencies. They also give you a diffrent program for checking temps (PC Probe) which checks all temps rather than just CPU.

I find Ai Booster very handy as a newbie overclocker as it saves going in the BIOS and changing it then trying your new settings and then doing it again and again.

When you use Ai Booster you can also have a stress test like Pime 95 running wilst you overclock so you can see temps when under full load and check stability.

Is there just say a program that shows the temp as a icon in the system tray when you hover over it?

Sleeve your PSU wiring

That's about my comment on the computers.

On the webpage now: Nice, looks pretty good, but you should align and resize the pictures a bit better, more like a photo gallery. Should keep your page cleaner, and in more order.

Nice pics, very nice machine.

Do you measure temps of your hard drives? They are close to each other, I would recommend you to make more room between them. Temperature shouldn't be higher than 40-45 C.

Thats quite a good point there I dont have any HDD temps but they have never been very warm when I have been inside the machine after hevey use.

The top HDD is right infront of the front of air intake which is a 120mm fan though so any heat from the lower one would not really transfer to the one on top anyways.

I have also seen more than I have all together before just as close with no probs.

[nighthawk]

Take Everest or Dtemp (drive temperature) - free programs which can read temp from hdd sensor.

Having a 120 mm fan in front of hdds is a good thing, and it's probably enough to keep them cool. But it creates another not so big problem - more dust will attach on your drives. (when you squize air through narrow passaga pressure drops and particules of dust attach to any surface that creates drag)

[johneva]

I do have Everest but I still got no temps for my HDDs.

Good job the case has a filter on that front intake then.

Also I am planning on cleaning often too with can of air as there are some rather expensive parts in there and I plan on looking after them.

I know I did build the rig meself and you also have to be careful of static then too.

I did not know that using compressed air was a bad idea though, that is how everbody else has advised to clean.
