So I just bought an upgrade and installed it into my Arctic Cooling Silentium T2 pc case. This is the stuff:
* ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
* AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Toledo 1GHz FSB 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Dual Core Processor
* MSI NX7800GT-VT2D256E Geforce 7800GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO PCI Express x16 Video Card
* CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model Twinx2048-3200c2pt
So what should I do to get the most out of it? I have set the timings on the RAM to 2,5-3-3-6 in BIOS and it's running on 2,75v like Corsair recommends. Currently I only have the standard fans but I plan on getting the CPU Freezer Pro and the NV Silencer from Arctic Cooling for the CPU and the Video Card. Anyway, I ran 3dmark06 basic edition and scored about 4200 which I thought was a bit low compared to other users. So, any tips on how to squeeeeeze everything out of the computer (OC or not)?
