Inimigo~SPARTA~

Enjoyed very much flying with you (batwing & roach) y'day. And even if I could only take off (and land, provided we would get back alive), there is still much to learn (about everything, actually). Anyway, some screens below: from left to right: roach, me, batwing

Hi Batwing, just read your post. It's been a while for me, but I should be around in an hour or so. 22h25 here right now, so won't be online for too long. cheers edit: right, nowadays I'm in TS as "slick" cheers

I'm game ! just wanna know when I'm GMT+1 (daylight saving time)

well, looking where I'm coming from (old system I mean), I'm pretty satisfied. I'm an Intel fan question about the sandy-bridge, would the SATA-issue actually be able to damage devices (eg a HDD)?

thanks Batwing, much appreciated

thanks for the info. appreciated. I actually have 4 devices connected (3xHDD & 1xDVD). Luckily (I HOPE), my board supports 4 SATA III slots That should solve "my problem", right?

send me the TriXX software if you can ... having trouble reading the S/N

old setup vs new setup

yessir, push-pull config. hey, I used to use EVEREST to check temperatures and stuff ... re-installed it, though cannot read any temp of my graphics card. is this normal? any suggestions?

hi guys, was out the whole day, so couldn't mess with the computer yet. confirm the dual channel ram on those sandy-bridges. will have to look up the programs used to test all my hardware ... if someone has the links at hand, thanks to share them. guess I should test ram, video card, cpu ... not looking to overclock anything at the moment, as I don't know anything about it (and fear I'd automatically overclock my 1333Hz ram as well, right? --> it's value-ram, so guess not suited for overclocking). bios is -to say the least- "weird" ... it's nice looking (you can even use your mouse) ... didn't install the scythe fans yet ... didn't feel like it. as for the corsair H50, it's very nice looking and easy to install. very nice. again, will try to post some pictures asap (you all should see my previous set-up as well --> NO CABLE-MANAGEMENT AT ALL ) cheers

Amen to that. Pre-ordered mine. Steam: INIMIGO cheers

small update: everything put together (stil need to take pics, but had visitors over the whole day). initial problem found (with latest video-card drivers): stutter (like a 1-full-second freeze) in games (like Battlefield Bad Company 2 & Left 4 Dead 2). strange...

Gentlemen, appreciate the replies. Meanwhile I went to buy the computer (right after work). Unfortunately our server blocks forums, so couldn't read the additional comments. This is what I got: Processor: Sandy-Bridge 2500 K PSU: Antec Truepower 750 ATX23 DVD-writer: samsung HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB SDD: Crucial 128 GB (RSSDC300) Ram: 8 GB Kingston Valueram Cooling: Corsair H50-1 Graphics: Sapphire 6950 (2GB) Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD65 Windows 7 Pro (64bit) Case: Coolermaster CM690 II Advanced Extra fans: 2x120 mm fans (Scythe Slip Stream 800) Will add my old 700 GB HDD as well. Hope to have put everything together by Saturday and will post pictures then :-) Let the games begin !

thanks for the info batwing. will keep it in mind, though it's a difference of 100 euro ... still didn't order, as in fact not everything was available. for now I'm thinking of this: HDD: Crucial 64GB or 128 GB (RealSSD C300, SATA600) HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB (2x) Processor: Intel 2500K Cooler: Corsair H50-1 Mobo: MSI P67A-GD65 or Asus P8P67-M Memory: Kingston Valueram 8 GB DDR3-1333 Case: Coolermaster CM690 II Advanced regular DVD-writer Windows 7 Ultimate 64-biz Graphics: MSI 2GB D5 X R6950 PSU: Antec TruePower New Series TP-750 +DVD-writer, 2 extra 120 mm fans, SSD-bracket

right, but it doesn't fit on the socket 1155 motherboards?

Thanks for the reply RViiiper. SSD 60 Gig would be for the basics only (OS, Office stuff & 1 or 2 games). Additional reason for not choosing a bigger one is the budget indeed. Mobo: will look into that again Cooler: I'm not familiar and confident enough to mess with a water cooling, though appreciate the info.

Hey guys, been a while though struggling a lot with my computer (initially needed a fan next to my computer for it not to warmp up from the moment I started a gam -- now I can only 'surf around'). Have put the below together and appreciate comments & tips. HDD: OCZ OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G (Light-Retail, Vertex2 Extended) 60 GB HDD: Samsung HD103SJ (Bulk, SpinPoint F3) 1 TB Processor: Intel 2500K Cooler: Scythe Mugen 2 Rev.B SCMG-2100 Mobo: MSI P67A-C45 Memory: Corsair 8 GB DDR3-1333 Case: Aerocool XPredator Black Edition regular DVD-writer Windows 7 Home Premium Graphics: MSI N480GTX TWIN FROZR II PSU: Antec TruePower New Series TP-750 Thanks /Inimigo

actually does look nice ... I'll be up for a coop as well more info @

that's a fair price. but last time I checked, I couldn't buy anything off play.com here in Belgium. let me check it out again. thanks for the news. coming to the original question, which patches/mods do we need downloading?

understood bud, though not sure I'll be buying Arrowhead as it's been too long since I played ARMA2.

thanks zeno, will think about it ...

I should have some time free this weekend. patch 1.05? Ace 1.5?? PS: I only have ARMA 2, no further expansions

this one is good :-) http://wallbase.net/wallpaper/521199

damn, I fell off that tower this night. Shouldn't watch these things in bed. afraid of heights, jumped out of a plane 3 times, but still afraid of heights. I hope these guys don't have kids, as safety is not in their dictionary.
