Gotten a new system due to the old one being half dead. I though it would last a while longer but the ram keep giving me problem and I can’t work on photoshop using 1GB of ram.
New spec is E8400 with mild overclocking done to E8500 + Powercolor Play! HD4850 standby with Powercolor PCS+ HD4670 + Enermax Pro82+ 625W PSU unit + 2GB cheapo Kingston RAM + a Coolermaster to replace the old casing fan as it couldn’t cope with the heat from the HD4850. Down on the luck, the board crap out, 2 trip is needed to CDL to change for a new board. Kudos to Jon from CDL, it was fun xD during the RMA troubleshooting. I meant it, it was fun. Learnt quite a bit of stuff from there and a couple of insider news. Hear this, DO NOT GET WINDOWS VISTA!!! STICK TO YOUR OLD AND TRUSTY WINXP. There is a reason for this.
HD4850 is a power drinker. Nearly a 100w jump during load. (includes the CPU)
Reinstallation is a pain….
In a week plus time, EOY 2008 would be here soon!! As usual with all others cosplay event. I would be there with figu kakis.

It happen just so suddenly, I remembered the anime Byousoku 5 Centimeter and felt like listerning to the One more time, one more chance.
This afternoon I found out why my computer have been acting weird. It been resetting for no reason. I happened to touch the PSU case and found it was hotter than usual, and the second outblow fan is dead. Ouch……. Still runable, but won’t last long. Head down to SLS, and gotten a Enermax Pro82 625W. Only, when I reach home, I found out it was quite a overkill on my puny system. 5 years warranty it came with.
My old PSU is a Antec smartpower 350W which is just after its warrany period.
