Quad-core Installation Pictures
on July 18, 2008 at 9:14 amMy new quad-core setup arrived on Monday and, after installing it, I took a few pictures. For those with similar setups, wondering if it fits, it indeed does. Here are my specs to-date for people who are trying to compare:
Case: Coolermaster Centurion 532
CPU: Intel Q6600 G0 @ 3.0ghz
RAM: 2x2gig OCZ Platinum DDR2 1066
HDD:
- Western Digital 160gig 16mb cache 7200rpm
- Seagate 7200.10 320gig 32mb cache 7200rpm
- Seagate 7200.10 500gig 32mb cache 7200rpm
- Western Digital 80gig 8mb cache 7200rpm
PSU: Silverstone Zeus 650w
DVD: Some Sony DVDRW drive
Video: EVGA 8800GT 512mb PCI-E 2.0
Sound: Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Motherboard: Biostar TSeries TP45 HP
And, here are the pics. Bear in mind that no parts are touching that shouldn’t be(the PSU is not touching the heatsink and the heatsink is not touching the northbridge cooler… though they are damn close).

Nice, i’ve been meaning to build myself a new rig. Just haven’t had the time.
I like your HDD setup, the only thing i would chanve is I usually like buying a smaller 150 gb 10K RPM disk to put my O/S on.
