It's been priming for just over 35 minutes and temperatures are around 62-65c loaded. I'm happy with those temperatures and knock on wood, it'll be stable too.

Is this with the graphics card running at the same time?

[Mul.]

Nope, I'm verifying CPU stability with an overclock.

That is very nice Mul!

Good luck, this really seems to be achieving a lot from such a small set-up.

*Sigh*

Just one day when I have spare money, I will be doing the same thing.

The 8800GT fitted without any trouble at all. The case supports all 9" graphics cards including the 9600GT, 9800GT, 9800GTX, GTS 250, Radeon HD 4850 and HD 4870/4890. The Power Supply however is only adequate up to the GTS 250 and HD 4850 though, depending on the rest of the PC spec

See now that is cool. I always wanted to do a mini-ITX build, but if I do it will be water cooled. CPU, maybe even GPU and Chipset. I'd go all out.

Interesting move. Issue is a quality watercooling loop along will mean a bigger case or an external radbox. Once it comes to that you may as well just go Micro ATX or even ATX.

How do BTX rigs fare Mul?

Edit: Never mind, just read about it on Wikipedia.

Don't know what Wikipedia has to say but as far as I'm aware, BTX was a form factor that Intel was trying to push with the evergrowing TDP and heat output of their Pentium 4 and Pentium D CPU's. It became fairly popular with some small form factor Shuttle barebone kits and Dell PC's but it didn't get very far in the retail and diy market.

1 error on Core0 after 3hr59min.  

Giving it one more shot for the 8hr mark today and then it's benchmark time!

Mul you selling your PhenomII X3?

EDIT: Infact, you selling the rest of the "geting rid of" kit?

im interested!

[Mul.]

Yep and it's motherboard too. I'm afraid I've already found a seller for both though!

What form factor is that PSU?

It's SFX I believe.

[_TW_]

Great stuff so far Mul.  3.6GHz isn't bad at all considering the size of the case.  Interested in knowing how well this compares to your AMD Phenom X3 system.  Looking forward to more!

Eeeew, sounds like running a big graphics card would be tricky.

[Mul.]

Indeed it would. Silverstone and FSP Group won't support anything north of the HD 4850 and GTS 250, which sounds about right to me.

[tropicalfish]

The only SFX PSU I found higher than the 300W on Newegg was a Seasonic 350W. Nothing higher.

Hi,

The system has been running flawlessly for a week and would love to report about gaming performance but unfortunately I'm tied up with exams. I did find the time to write reviews for the case and the motherboard if anyone's interested

For your slim optical drive, did you have to use an adapter for the power connection?
