Hello all!
I was back a few months ago I think it was, but the MB died in my main crunching machine, and you know how long it takes for an RMA to be sent out - returned - and actually placed back in the desktop lol.

Current system is an AMD FX-8120, MSI 760GM-P34 (FX), 8GB of Random RAM (bahaha, kinda like the department of redundancy department) :icon_razz:, 60GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD, Power Cooler 6670 Radeon card, no DVD-RW - fresh install of Win7 Ultimate off a USB, it only takes a few minutes with the SSD!
going to play around with some OC on that CPU, I just put in a Cooler Master Hyper T4 (http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Contact-Heatpipes-RR-T4-18PK-R1/dp/B00BSKY1M4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383542315&sr=8-1&keywords=coolermaster+t4), and stock the system is at 26c without a load - I'll crunch for a couple days, and then start pushing it.

see you guys around! sorry if I seem crazy, I have been helping babysit twin nieces for the last couple days - they are 2ish yrs old haha :)

Hello again PcManiac!

Random RAM, sounds like a hard HDD or a solid SDD to me -as far as the department of redundancy department goes. Bit of a Cooler Master coolers and fans fan (again, bit redundant) myself,
having a Hyper Z600 (http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/cooling/hyper-series/hyper-z600.html) (on reserve for OC attempts), a Hyper 212 EVO (http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/cooling/hyper-series/hyper-212-evo.html) and a Hyper 412S (http://www.coolermaster.nl/product.php?product_id=6748), the latter two to bring the level of noise down in the computer room where 6 systems are crunching 24/7 at the moment.

Enjoy the nieces, before you know it they have children of their own!

P.S. That signature is a bit dated, I watched the 2007 challenge but was not active on the forum then as I am now.

Haha, that is a lot of computers in a room.. I think my wife might have an issue with that :P

My contest sig was back when I worked at MS and was inventorying and testing some older workstations - which BOINC was happy to push them! I'm getting a new vmware ESXi host server for my work next year, might need to utilize some un-needed cycles from that :)

I just pushed my multiplier up so I am running at 4GHz. 35c - not bad for air cooling I think.

Hoho, that's just the number of running PCs, that is: powered on puters. No room to run as the room is crammed with PCs (40+) and parts!
