2nd build this month

[yamawho]

After finishing my son's rig, my daughter has her birthday coming up.
So I recycled the cpu, ram from my son's old rig and the case and psu from her's.

System specs:
CPU: Intel E4300 1.8Ghz @ 3Ghz 333 FSB, cooler Zalman CNPS 9500
Mobo: Asus P5K SE
Video card: eVGA 8800GT 512MB dual slot model
Memory: Corsair value ram 2 x 1GB DDR2 667
HDD: WD 320GB Sata2
PSU: OCZ PowerSteam 420 watt
OS: Vista Ultimate 64bit

This 200 fsb e4300 cpu was runnig at 266 on a 4CoreDualVSTA but on the Asus P5K SE a very easy 333 FSB @ 3Ghz was reached.

This mobo has the worst placement for an IDE connector I have ever seen.
Cable management is not easy on this mobo ...

I used the nvidia 177.79 drivers and the fan on the 8800GT seems to be running at 30%.

My e4300 @ 3Ghz (333 fsb) got a max temp of 62C running occt and 57C running 3DMark Vantage. Used AS5 to install the Zalman as well.
I was considering getting a Sunbeam Tuniq Tower 120 or Thermalright ULTRA-120 Extreme to replace the Zalman which should reduce the 62C by about 8C. Still pondering that one ...

I was concerned about using the OCZ Powerstream 420 but all seems well.
I noticed that the max output specs on this psu were better than the 500 watt Xconnect I had, so I decided to go with the PowerStream.

I used two rear 80mm fans and one 80mm in front, I might connect the side fan instead of the front to see if that helps temps.
