So, I was on here a while ago and you guys helped me pick out some of my cards.

Well, I finally did build my computer and here is proof:


It has all these parts in it:

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131614

Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102872

Extra fan for my case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185005

Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231247

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010

CD/DVD Burner: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827100058

CPU Cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186134

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129043&cm_re=Antec_1200-_-11-129-043-_-Product

Now, before anyone gives me crap about my CPU cooler choice let me just say this: I hurdled over my budget, so a $90 wasn't going to help the situation.

Now, I have another question. Is there a break in period before you can overclock or can I just start now?

My computer idles at around 38 Cel., if anyone was interested.

It's a 5.9 (out of 7.5) right now, so I'm pretty ashamed of it. That's all going to change soon, though. I believe the RAM is not running at the advertised speeds, so I'm going to change that in the BIOS as soon as my backup is complete. Then I'm going to overclock my CPU.

even if you overclock is still going to be 5.9 unless you change your HDDs

In Windows 7 (and Vista) you can rate your computer. It's not the most accurate way, but it gives you a rough idea of how good your computer is.

overclock in your bios
core i7 920 alows a max overclocking of x20, but don't make too much cause the more you overclock the faster your cpu-lifetime lowers
+ make sure your ghz rate is min. the double of your memory ghz rate, for exemple you have ddr2 1600 your cpu must have 3.2 Ghz (for ex. 800mhz each core)
sry I don't know the specific words in english hope you understand me anyway ^^'[/quote]

Vista's rating system only goes up to 7.5


Vista rating only goes up to 5.9 tops.
And getting the bleeding edge hardware won't guarantee you a perfect (high) system rating.
