Hey all, I just put together my system: same as in rig except xp-m 2600+ (good stepping from excaliberpc).
Here is what I did with my old setup: I started Priming for 12hrs at 230x5. then 12 more hours at 235x5, then 12more at 240x5, tehn 12 more at 250x5, then 12 more at 250x8, 250x9 and finally at 250x10 is where I stopped.
I am just wondering if I should do the same or just stick it to the max. I dont really want to wait, but I am not sure if I need to break everything in. It just seems likt it will take a long time (and I want to play FarCry and CoD with 5.1 sound!!! ), but I would wait if it would guarantee me that same result. what are your guys' experiences?
EDIT: BTW, had to replace the mobo, memory, and CPU (all same brands as before except for diff CPU) bc they somehow got burnt when I was putting everything back together. but that is just 'nother story.
