AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE Unlock and Overclock on GA785GT-UD3H

[gothicfighter]

I've seen that too buy If I want to get it I'll have to wait a bit longer. Economical crisis is at high peak rich now. I don't even get my allowance ) Anyway, in a month or so perhaps I can gather some money. My PC won't die until then.
Thanks!

This is what should get, it has very good airflow and comes with dust filters.

Wierd how that website prices their cases. The raidmax here in states is 39.99$ and the Antec 200 is 59.99$.

Yea, another problem. The 4 pin 12V CPU Power cable from the PSU is extremely short so there's no way I can put the PSU on the bottom of the case and make the PC work. I need another case with the PSU slot on top. Or some kind of 4 pin cable extension or something.
edit: My motherboard has an 8pin 12V connector. My PSU has only one 4pin 12V connector. Yet, the PC is still working. Should I get some kind of 4 to 8pin or should I leave it this way?

You should be fine

I have never had that issue but I know a friend that says it will work fine as long as you put the 4 pin in the correct slot (Asus & Asrock boards) in not 100% sure if it works the same for all boards. So if you PC is running fine I would leave it alone. You can always stress test to make sure its 100% stable.

What about the lenght of the cable?

 

[OvrClkr]

this is what you need, my bad was trying to do too many things at once :

Bollocks... I don't think my local shop or emag has one of those. Anyway, I'll go in a few hours to check. I think it's just me but do they seem a little short?
Thanks.

 

[gothicfighter]

So it's long enough, right?

 

[OvrClkr]

It should be more than enough, I use an 8 pin extender on of my PC's and I have way more than I need. You need to measure your 4 pin to get an idea of how much cable you need.

 

[OvrClkr]

The first one is 7.25" inches and the other is one foot long (12 inches)

 

[gothicfighter]

Here's a photo in which you can see the length:

It will work as long as you get the 12" cable. You want to run that cable along the side of the board and not across.

 

[gothicfighter]

Okay, thanks.

 

[OvrClkr]

should look something like this :

 

[gothicfighter]

Wow, that's long. I still didn't go to the shop but I doubt they'll have such a long wire if anything at all.
Can you please recommend me a better case with the PSU on top, just in case?

 

[OvrClkr]

I don't recommend cases with the PSU on top because of a few reasons, first the can tip over very easy because of the center of gravity, second the cable management is more difficult becuase you have no where to hide the cables, third with the PSU on top you have not TOP exhaust.

The best case you can get for you money in my opinion is the Antec 300 Illusion :

http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066&cm_re=Antec_300-_-11-129-066-_-Product

it already comes with all the fans you need.

The regular 300 is also a great buy but you will need to buy at least 2 extra 120mm fans for the intake.

 

[gothicfighter]

Haha, great news mate! I don't need any extra cable. I wan dumb enough not to notice the KNOT right where the cables got out of the PSU. The un-knoted cable is more than enought(i think more than 30cm). So darn happy. And another great new. I've found an offer at a Romanian site. I can get the antec 200 at almost HALF the price . And it's new.
Thanks a lot!

im glad it worked out for you, keep us posted =)

I've measured the distance between the motherboard and the edge of the case. It's only 15-16cm so the 212+ won't fit. Should I look for another cooler or is it okay to just remove the side panel(I've removed it to see if the case temp will lower but the temps were the same. This is a good sign because it means the airflow is not messed up, right?

212+ have less than 16cm so it might fit. To be sure mesure the back of your case, it must have 19cm or more.

If you want to get something, get the cooler, a good PC case will cost you more. I couldnt find any with a fan on top for less than 190 RON. But I dont know most of those cases that cost less than that.

If you want better air flow, go to a mecanic and make some holes on your case. A good hole should look like this: http/www.photobox.co.uk/my/photo/full?photo_id=740940090
