Since my last posts got wiped .. I guess I will finish this off for the rest of you that care

This is a long time coming.

The build is technically done, but I am having some issues. The system is stable as can be, but I hear wierd sounds. Like, the video card makes the most awful whining noises when booting games. It seems to go away after a few minutes of play time, and I see no performance issues from it. I am told that other experience this (and have since the 8800 series). I Think I notice it a lot more because I have nothing to buffer the sound. It's in the open, and in mah face.

If I start having performance issue with it, I will send it back .. but for now I am fine with it.

The other issue is my Motherboard is not liking my RAM. I can only use 4 gigs out of the 6. I have (through many troublshoots) determined that the RAM is good, and the Motherboard is good. It is a dislike between the two that is causing the issue. I amd living with it for now, but I think that new RAM will need to be ordered.

Anyway, here are the pictures. I have some more of the finished product, but I need to make sure that those a good pictures .. and not like the ones I have already.

What RAM did you get that's not compatible?

Reason I ask is because I'm having a computer built with the P6T and am wondering if I might have a similiar problem.

Dont worry about that fan, I have the same mobo and an 8800gt, mine does the same.Its automatic to adjust for heat(maybe from loading textures).If im correct, it does the same on startup for a few seconds. I was even going to go with same case, but because of its heatsink compatiblity issue i went with a stacker 830(cheap on the egg).

One more thing, will it only post with 4 gigs, or does windows only show 4 gigs. because 32 bit will show only 4 gigs max depending on other component ram(hd,cpu,vid card, and so on).
