775. Had time to do a quick benchmark at 3.73Ghz with the e5800. Tried 3.8GHz but got BSOD in 3dm99. Might see if the other e5800 has more headroom, though at these speeds I’m also borderline on the chipset

The E7500 still edges the E5800 in the lobby benchmark, despite a 600MHz clock disadvantage and a much lower memory clock (but tighter timings, realised now I forgot to put those in, but they are the 3-4-4-8 for the E5800) tomorrow I’ll see if I can tweak these a bit

2.5-3-3-6 is as good as it gets. 2-3-3-6 also works but doesn’t seem to provide a benefit in any of the benchmarks. I’m not sure this setting is actually applied in the bios

Seeing if I can find any stability problems now with this setup at stock everything.

I might use the case from my i7 for this build and find another for that. The i7 doesn’t need to have any drives, which gives some more options

Somebody stop me! (It will probably be the wife)

I’ve accidentally bought another PC. I wasn’t planning on it. I was innocently searching eBay for a case for the 775 system - I decided to list the Athlon system to see what would happen: So far, absolutely nothing.

As i said, I was only searching for a case. Preferably something matx. I found a couple of dell OEM cases that would have fit the bill, nothing as fancy as the Antec case I found for the Athlon.

I started looking at Antec stuff. As far as i know, they don’t make much in the way of matx stuff. But I was looking anyway, when I found a sonata case. Complete with some vintage hardware

Can anyone guess what spec it may be from these images? It’s taken me a while, but I have been able to deduce what the board is and what the GPU is. It was much harder to figure out than the MESH PC I bought containing the FX5900XT was
