Project: Z machine!

** preparing the TBCS rig for gaming **
the motherboard TGS sent me is great and has alota features... but i was worried about heat issues... especialy seeing as i like to overclock
so nevermind1534 sent me a northbridge heatsink from a different motherboard (bigger than the original on mine)
so i swapped them today
and put the original northbridge heatsink on the south bridge (it didnt have anything to rly cool it)

^^ the new heatsink installed and the old one swapped ^^
( i used AS5 )

^^ added 2 60 mm fans from a OCZ mem cooler to cool both of them ^^
(im still tryin to figure out a way to properly secure them)
altho the install is a lil loose... they r performing greatly :)

side note... this rig runs crysis warhead with specs all at gamer with no lag (1024x768 because my monitor doesnt support a higher res) and GoW and CoD4 cant even make it lag... ive tried :P

That heatsink is huge; nice. And the XMS2 is beast. How much have the northbridge and southbridge sinks brought your temps down?

not sure... but with the fans included... went from being too hot to touch... to nice and cool.... cold rly

and the latest addition to our family

we now have 2 kittens.. and they dont seem to be impressed by it
(sitting on the new case i got from my buddy (he got an antec 1200 so he gave me his old one))

look at all that static next to ur hdd :)

ive got a job now... so some money is coming in :) and any of you who whine about workin at startbucks or mcdonalds... i top you.. i work for 8 bucks an hour... in a chip truck... from 10 am till 9...no A/C... hot day.. with a hot grill infront of me... and a hot deepfryer behind me....(rant lol) man you would never wanna eat street meat again if you saw how its prepared.... :)
