I just setup my first water rig last month, and now after browsing XS, dice looks pretty interesting and intriguing. I plan on running it on the following setup (CPU only though).
Asus Commando
2x1GB Ballistix 8500
9800GTX
Seagate 120GB SATA
DVD-ROM
So I had a few questions.
First off, I've seen the 45nm Wolfdales hitting some insane FSB, and I don't want my RAM to be the limiting factor here so do you think the Ballistix can keep up?
Also is the IP35-E board gonna hold up under dice? Is it capable of a monster FSB? The CPU vcore options are definitely there.
Also can anyone recommend a good temp measuring probe?
I have a HX620 PSU in my main rig, but I need to pick up a 2nd PSU for this one. Considering its only gonna be powering the board, video, RAM, CPU, and a single HDD, could I sneak by with say a 500 watt?
And last but not least, a good beginners dice pot? I checked the classifieds and didn't see any
