My Desktop Finally Running Again.

After two years of not running it took me about 6 days to fully get it back in operation and it now has a bit of a kick to it's Speed.I bought a brand new SSD card for and it boots up in less than 15 seconds.

I overclocked the cpu just a bit and its fully upgraded in windows 7 and all drivers are upgraded.

I keep my big files like games on my secondary drive it's a 1 TB HDD WD drive too keep the speed of the SSD card.

I built this thing back in 2010 show's you how old this MSI build is.It has one of the first AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black edition and i like them be cause they are fully over clock able.

 

I use this heat sink from new egg.

I use my own fans i buy ones that have a high air flow or cfm.I can overclock that cpu to 4.5 GHZ but there is no point.The SSD runs fast enough with out the overclock.

The normal speed os 3.2 GHZ that is stock speed.On all four cores.

I have 6 fans and they are all speed controlled.

Just a fair warning for any one if you buy them Fan's they are loud like a jet.So you must get a speed controller.

At first boot they spin up at Max settings but revert back to your speed settings one you speed fan controller

 

I normally buy a few extra fans so that just in case one burns out i can replace it with out waiting for the replacement fan.

I had a fan all most catch fire due to that the system at the time was under powered.And the power cable to one of the fans started to melt.

So i had to replace my 550 for a 700 watt power supply 90+ Gold on new egg.

I like buying spar parts be cause you never know what might happen.

I have extra hard drives that have never been used just in case some thing goes wrong.

And i have been waiting to see if one of my Hard drives would stop working or burn out.And they are 16 years old and still running lol.ATA and PAT.
