Awesome work schot. Would love to see sacred wiki again.

Got my attention! Can't wait to see and hear more. cheers folks!

I second Etherian on this one. I have gone through soooo many mice I can't count until I bought a Razr Mamba. It has been the best mouse I have ever had.

Salute!

or at least the devs do!

That new rig is pulling a few more amps than the old one eh? I have a APC 1200 that pulls about 140 watts on browser and 225 in game. Which is less than 30% load.

Are you running CM patch?

I use a free utility called HWMonitor from CPUID.com It will auto detect all your system temps automatically. Depending on the motherboard. As far as heat goes, the case is a huge part of that equation, along with proper ventilation/fans. I have and Antec Nine Hundred Two Case with a total of 5 case fans. 3 low rpm 120 mm intake with filters and 1 120mm exhaust plus 1 240mm exhaust built into the top of the case. A Thermaltake CPU fan and my 700w ps has a 120mm fan as well. Before replacing my case, the old cheap case I had could not let me overclock due to temps and I had CPU temps ranged 45-70 C when loaded and GPU temps above 120 C. This can actually slow down performance with Mobos that have automatic temp throttles. Now with a good quality case and ventilation my overclocked CPU temps range from 30 C to 48 C and my GPU maxes at about 85 C and that is all on air, no liquid cooling. When I had dual GPUs my PC would actually raise the temperature of the room by 5 degrees or more.

I think your choices of components are pretty spot on for a game machine. That Mobo chipset is 3 channel so 3 sticks of 4 gb is good. I have 4 sticks of 2 gb in mine and I never see more than 50% used when running multiple instances of Sacred2. On my last build, I started with 2 SLI GTX 260 GPU cards and found that the heat produced was not in proportion to the performance. Plus, Sacred2 got a little screwing in some areas where ground textures flickered really bad. I ended up seeing a bigger boost in performance (Frames per second) by tweaking my processor speed ( i5 750 is 2.66 stock) up to 3.4 . I got more bang for my power and heat than having 2 GPUs. So I installed the second GTX260 in my kids Box. Also I found 3 500Gb Sata2 HD for less than $200. So I set them up in a RAID that ended up boosting my speed, giving my about 700 Gb of HD space, and I am protected from a single HD failure. Most of the ASUS/ASRock Mobo support Intel chipsets with built in RAID controllers. So RAID set-up was a breeze. Good luck with the new rig. loco

Bridgette Nelson that stared in the Rocky move was very tall at 182cm. 195? wow, that is taller than me. At 6ft 3in I would come in at 190.5cm
