I am very happy with my VF700Cu and wouldn't trade it out for anything. I edited my VGA bios, and am now able to get it a lot higher, I can do 460core @ 55°C, stock is 325core.

Sandok I have that case but in Aluminium, the weight difference is incredible. Done a couple of mods to it firstly ive fixed a 120mm fan to the rear of the bottom HDD holder making sure all the yummy cool is directed straight onto my GFX card. Secondly ive removed the useless PSU metal support at the top and took out the 80mm fan and bracket, in it's place you can flush fit a 120mm exhaust fan. Thats 4x120mm fans (2 intake, 2 exhaust) and the normal 80mm (exhaust) behind the top backup HDD cage all controlled with my Coolermaster Aero so it's nice and quiet. Im still waiting for TT to release the additional HDD/fanmount theyve been promising for the front but to be honest my Venice 3200+ Idles at mid 20oC and my X800XT runs above platinum overclock so im happy.

Sandok · Nov 2, 2005, 03:18 PM

Damn man can you take a pic of ur system? I'd like to see those mods up close

I modded mine by adding two front intake 120mm fans.

Bit messy as my attention is on my new Honda Integra but here goes:

There we go, bit of a thread stealer but 2X Akasa Amber PaxPower and 2X Thermaltake blue LED 120mm fans. All running at a whisper quiet 18db or less and a sneaky shot of my Akasa Evo-33 CPU cooler. Quick check of my temps and my CPU is running 10x220 overclock giving me 2.2ghz @ 27oC.

Edit That overclock is running at 5HTT effectively meaning my memory is clocked at PC3400 or more. Not bad for 1Gig of Geil value ram running 2.5,3,3,6

i would like to post some pis of mi rig but i dont know how to post them

Lowfat · Nov 13, 2005, 09:49 PM

take pictures, then find a picture host (i.e. photobucket.com), then click the go advanced button, then at the top of the post box, there is a little image of a picture click it, then put the image's address in it... i hope that helps, although i suck at explaining.

if you host photo's on imageshack they give you a 'direct link', which you just need to copy, then use the 'add picture' button in DH and paste the direct link you saved into you prompt box, and bobs your uncle!

unless you're being really dial-up friendly, you don't want to be using the 'add picture' button in DH to put a thumbnail up.
for 'thumbnails for forums' just copy paste direct.

edit: just seen the rest, my bad......

Richie-b · Nov 15, 2005, 01:04 PM

nice rig dude !
can I ask what what cooler u r using on the cpu ? I can't get my 3200 to go any hgher at the moment on stock cooling

jasonbourne · Nov 15, 2005, 01:10 PM

why not!!??whats your cpu temp at the moment??my sits at 26c idle 32 ,34 full load it never goes any higher even when overcloking , im using a akasa cooler and high perfomance cooler master compound kit.

Richie-b · Nov 15, 2005, 05:44 PM

Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks for the info.
I've just checked temps and cpu is at 35c idle.
i tried moving the multiplier but it seems to be locked so i'll have to do a little more investigating before i try again.I'd like to try and get it up to 2400mhz if i can

jasonbourne · Nov 15, 2005, 06:50 PM

first u have to lower your ht and then lower your memory to 166.

Hi Jason, a fan of the Akasa stuff im guessing. Take a look at the Evo-33 I have on the last page, I moved up to that from the cooler you have now. I use it with Akasa silver paste. I have in the past ran my CPU steady at 2.5ghz+ for months at a time and only had to stop at 2.5 because my memory gives up first.

Lowfat · Nov 26, 2005, 05:01 AM

Still waiting for a replacement pump, so i went out and bought a temporary heatsink fan. I was also sick of the annoying high speed Delta tri-blade in my PC Power and Cooling 510 Deluxe, so i swapped it out for a much more soothing Zalman (34dB versus the scary 42.5dB). I also took a few more hours, and re-polished the insides of my case.

The o-so-loud PSU fan before

the new PSU fan

My nice few Zalman CPNS 7000B-AlCu LED. I am quite impressed with this HSF. Only cost $39CAD. I now idle @ 33 vs 40 before and full-load @ 49 vs 59. These temps are with the fan on the lowest setting too.

I'm not usually into the lights in stuff, but it doesn't look that bad, imo.

CDsDontBurn · Nov 26, 2005, 05:53 AM

rig looks nice tulc

. what are you using for a southbridge heatsink though? looks pretty neat

CDsDontBurn · Nov 26, 2005, 07:07 AM
