Project: PrometheusCu

Sweet build, looking forward to the finished product. Good luck with it.

*Watching.*

811BPIW over avg chip =)

I got a goody one, 3 ghz @ 1.255 V =) not an issue for you prolly cause water, i run air atm.

@cheezeit - Thanks a lot mate... I wish I had the funds to spend on this project too, hahaha. I projected about 1/2 that before I got going.

@zero2dash - Thanks man!

@Bucnasty229 - Muchos gracias!

@bsoltan - Thanks mate, I'll need it to get this thing running like my vision.

@ZMTToxics - Appreciating - Thanks.

@AtkinS - I haven't done any research on the subject yet, as it hasn't been a focus until the OCing starts. Is the 811BPIW stepping a good one for the Phenoms?


I'm bloody fed up with my machinist and his constant excuses so I'm hunting for another free tooling source. I know quite a few people with the equipment... I just have to get them excited enough over PrometheusCU to lend a proper hand.

Lookin good so far! Keep us updated.

Must.... have.... update....*gasp*

Or.... I.... will.... die....

Second that

[QUOTE=luddha;1033092023]Second that [/QUOT

Make that a third!!

Updates are under way.

Mips has solved my memory cooler dilemma be re-engineering their RAM Freezer 4 unit for me, to fit the Dominator RAM.

Corsair is doing it's best to track me down some naked RAM

My Machinist is MIA, so I've been teaching myself machine code, and researching the finite principles of CNC milling. So I'll be doing all my own machining now - which I find very exciting.

Sorry I've got nothing tangible, but at this point I'm not rushing anything. I want to have this project done within the month - which I feel is very possible (TBH I wanted to have it done before the end of Aug, but my 3rd party involvement had other ideas).

I also just got my first car:
For those of you who have been reading over at Bit-Tech... you may remember my desires for a 1987 Buick Grand National earlier. Well I've got one now, it hasn't yet been delivered but it's on the truck right now on it's way from Florida.

Here is the very car I purchased:
LINK

She sports over 500HP and rocks low 11s in the 1/4 mile. (More details once its delivered)

Here it is being loaded for delivery... I CANT WAIT FOR IT TO GET HERE!








More to come... hopefully more relevant things... and hopefully soon.

Thanks for reading.

OMFG. I JUST CAME!!! I am in LOVE with your car man, treat her well, As for me:



Lets say it would be a close race, buahaha.

Nice car. I'm not trying to flame you but... I don't think that should be anyone's first car. Anyone remember Nick Hogan?

Congrats though =]

I'll take the Shelby

wow nice, cant wait to see more

Hahaha. I would have to say



=D

Someday...

@SDMorris - Thanks mate... er, bring it? haha

@ben chi(f4) - I've been driving for years, but never owned a car before. Being that I was born in November of 1987, I told myself years ago that a 1987 GN from November would be my first car... and hopefully something I can hold on to for many years.

@chrsharvick29 - 1969 Mustang BOSS 302 is 2nd on my list... but it's the difference between $25,000 and ~$85,000. Plus the GN would be a close race.

@-(Xyphox)- - Thanks mate, more to come.

@Bucnasty229 - Yeah, but mine was only $25,000 and would be a close contender.

The car has had almost $20,000 in upgrades put into it. Everything from alcohol, to drive shaft, and even a $3500 rebuild on the the tranny. She glistens chrome in the engine bay and recently had the interior completely redone and a $6000 show quality paint job to top it off... pics of all this soon.

Muahaha!

Here is a video made by the man that sold me this car... hes a walking quadriplegic and is an incredibly kind man.









Below you'll note the hand controls put in place my the previous owner (these were removed before I got the car)

Stock GN rims that have been widened to accommodate super wide racing slicks.

SOME RELEVANT NEWS!


I've got Watercool Germany on-board now. They've generously offered to provide some waterblocks from their new 'Heatkiller' V3.0 lineup coming at the end of October. With this addition I'll be removing the D-Tek Fuzion and perhaps cooling the motherboard as well.... which calls for another Aquastream XT pump IMO.

I'm very very excited about this - I have to give some credit to ModSquad as I've never heard of the Watercool Heatkiller before he posted the image of one of their blocks in his CopperHead mod. Suffice to say I fell in love and had to have them.

For those of you not familiar with the HeatKiller blocks, here's a tase:







More to come, thanks for reading.

Fords suck anyway....Yeah i said it....Always knew that coming from a family thats big into Muscle cars. My dad owned a 67' GTO Blown and a 69' Mustang Mach 1 with the 428 Cobra Jet when I was growing up. The cars his bothers went through sounds like a Christmas wish list. Brother in law is a manager of Pep Boys in Daytona Beach florida right across from the track and he said the number one car coming in for repair is Ford right next to VW's. They also sell the most replacement parts for Fords. 69' is a nice body for a Mustang, but Man... You got a deal and a real nice find!

Dang...thats some nice looking blocks there! Congrats on the sponsership!

A note on the car deal... In the 80's growing up, the two cars i wanted to have was 1 1977 Firebird Trans Am, and 2 was Grand National. Right now Id like to have my hands on a 67-71 Barracuda.


Question about your build... When your finished with it, Any Major events it may see?
