I want to upgrade to socket 939. So I was thinking of getting this stuff:

aspire qpack
biostar tforce 6100
amd 3200 venice
thermalright xp 90 or 120.

scavenge the rest of the stuff from what I have lying around for now until I can get some more cash for an upgrade.

I was wondering if that heatsink would fit. Also, if anyone has any info on overclocking on air with the qpack any suggestions would be appreciated.
I was wondering what video card would be good. I will be overclocking this machine as far as I can stabaly.

Was hoping to get all the stuff by this weekend to work on.
 
Looks good. Though I'd recomend going with the 3k venice if you're going to overclock and save you some money. I'm assuming that Biostar is the motherboard..which, if that's the case, I would not recomend. Biostar is teh suck. A mATX from MSI would be much better. I'm also going to assume (heh) that the video card you're reffering to is the one in your sig. A 9800Pro is still a decent card.
 
I didn't know nVidia made a 'TForce' series GPU. That's the chipset. *ding* I stand by my comment.

didint say it was a GPU.. all i said was maybe he wanted a TFORCE mobo... and seems to be biostar is the only one that carries it (i look at newegg)
 
I don't know what a 3k venice would be, but I do know the proc ima buy is the e6 which ends in bw which is the newer version of the core.


Right now only biostar and gigabyte have 6100's out. I know 6100 is the name of the northbridge, but im not sure if its also the name of the gpu. In any case that is what is available as the 6150 hasn't come out yet and other manufacturers have not released their versions of this mobo.
I would go asus or albatron for a cut down version as those are companies I trust to be good quality products. In my book biostar is mediocre at best up till now, but I've seen some impressive posts of overclocks with this motherboard as the tforce, as opposed to the regular geforce, is more enthusiest geared afaik.
It looks like I don't have that much time to ponder about it, as I have to sell my comp.
What I really would like to know is if the mobo and case would not have a problem fitting that ginormous heatsink. Guess I may have to just test it out....

Oh, sorry, my bad. Thought you were saying it was the GPU...

'3k' means 3000+. This one. Also, definitely go with the Gigabyte over the Biostar. It'll be waay better.

Edit: The XP-90 probably won't have a problem fitting in the Qpack, but the XP-120 probably will.
 
sc00ter, yeah loved the 9800 pro till it gave out. Replaced it with a 6600gt, but selling everything in my sig cept for 256mb as a slot for a 512mb upgrade is more reasonable. Both those card were agp, think ima have to go with pci-e. When I get some cash ima either go for a 6800gt as the price keeps falling, or a 7800gt if its within range.
 
Yeah, the 6100 is the new integrated video that nVidia just came out with. Looks to be ok..nothing phenomenal though. Here's a link to the AnandTech article.
 
heh 3k venice. Kinda slow :p

want to go with 3200 as the multiplier is higher and its was under 150 on ewiz, but its out of stock now... damn it.
 
Well, gonna call thermalrigt, biostar and aspire tomorow and see if their tech support has any idea if this config would work. If you guys want ill keep you updated.
 
Sure, it'd be interesting to find out if you could actually fit a 120 into a mATX case. Good luck!
 
ordered all my stuff. Should be in by tomorrow.
biostar tforce
3200 venice
512mb ballistix
qpack
nec 3540a

Ima wait get a heatsink cause I need to build my secondary system first, but it looks like some people have zalman heatsinks in theirs, which makes sense cause it'll cool the rest of the system cause its a small case.
 
Hm..why'd you only get 512 megs of RAM? Other than that though, looks like a good system.
 
not enought $ :( Gonna grab another 512mb of ballistix, 6800gt or a 7800gt, and the zalman 7700 in a month when I save up some cash. Then the system will be where its should be. Right now I need to buy another shuttle barebones for some spare equipment I have lying around for a file server. Still gonna see how it overclocks for now though.
 
Got my 6800gt, but gonna transfer my system to my brothers asus sli & coolermaster stacker. I hit a wall at about 230 fsb for the cpu, only stable at 2.2ghz on the tforce mobo. It turned out to be a neat little box though, but couldnt resist the sli tempation, and overclock potential. Plus, not to fond of biostar.
