Olham 164 Posted April 19, 2011 My rig is now completed - the mobo got exchanged, and I can fly again. The ASUS P8P67 (Revision B3) seems to be a very good board. With the EFI BIOS you can tune / overclock it very easily - it's like Windows. It even offers three choices, one of them a rather save overclocking. You only need to press that button, and my 3,3 GHz i5 QuadCore CPU would run on 3,7 GHz, which must be a very safe solution, that even a caveman like me can get done. Unfortunately, social duties won't allow much flying until Friday. But then Easter is my big time Between Heaven and Hell! Mmuahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!!

Shiloh 12 Posted April 19, 2011 That's good news Olham! I know what it's like to have a downed rig so welcome back to the skies. I'm going to attempt to OC my CPU as well but first I may have to upgrade the heatsink as the stock one that came with my CPU is kinda' weak. It seems like a really easy system you have there for OCing...must be nice. Good luck with your new rig and enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 19, 2011 Thank you! I got watercooling on the CPU now. It cost 60,- Euro, but hardly makes any noise at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themightysrc 5 Posted April 20, 2011 Olham, Have you got any screenshots from the new rig? Assuming it's a better setup, particularly graphics wise, they should be very nice indeed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 20, 2011 I have upgraded Mobo, CPU and memory - the graphic card is still my ATI HD4870. The first screenshots were made without changes in ATI Catalyst Control Center. I will check all AA settings and max them out today. I may leave Terrain Detail on 3, cause it gets very grainy and sharper on 4 or 5, and I like it on 3. I may be able to have more Scenery Detail now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
