    Dell Inspiron finally died on me. Thinking of building this time around

    Had to wait for UPS to ship the PSU and heatsink last night. Finally finished early this morning. So far, the only thing I've done was upped bus speed to 220 so I'm running @ 2.8 thus far. Could someone please direct me to a link regarding memory/HT/NB timings? Thanks in advance.

    LOL, you're right. I might as well try to put it up on CL. Dang, it how come it's required that I have 50 posts prior to posting on For Sale thread? Doesn't lurking count? :P

    I know but the purchase of the TR2 was mainly for my inspiron so I wasn't even looking into OC'ng at the time. It didn't pan out as the mobo was not cooperating so I just have to accept that as a loss unless someone is willing to take it off my hands on CL for 1/2 the price, lol. Given my...

    Well, I ended up buying the following so the build must wait another two days, lol. CPU COOLER XIGMATEK|HDT-S1283 R - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233003 PSU ANTEC|EA650 RT - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371015

    Someone in the area is selling his for $100. It's off CL so I'd be sorta leery. I suppose I can wait it out a month or so. Thanks again!

    Thanks Danny. Any Newegg/Fry's suggestions? I think I'm going to get the 4870 next month. Oh, also, any recommendations for a good cpu cooler for the 620?

    Well, the board was dead. I purchased the TR2 to replace which I thought at the time was a bad psu. Turns out, that didn't resolve the issue. Mobo was then discarded as a result. Sorry.

    I actually discarded the case but I can look for the internal parts if you'd like.

    Well, I should have paid heed as the TR2 reviews for OC'ng weren't that great. So I'll be heading off to Fry's to purchase either a 380W or the 430W psu. If I upgrade to say a 4870, will either be sufficient?

    Will post pre and post build pics soon. ETA is 02/03. In the meantime, I'm thinking of heading to Fry's for a CPU cooler as opposed to ordering from egg. I've read up on the artic cooling 64 and 7. Any recommendations specifically for the x4 620? Also, is it true (just trying to confirm with...

    Cool, I'm ready to purchase the parts suggested with one exception. I'd like to bump up the cpu to the X4 955. Will the PSU in that case suffice? Thanks again guys!
