The New Mainboard
Thanks to the great service at http://www.msy.com.au/ replacing the UD7 with the more ATX friendly UD5 was no problem.
Nothing much included, but a few SATA and IDE/floppy cables.
The 890FXA-UD5 in all its glory
The Powerplant
As power plant, the HX650 from Corsair has been selected.
The contents of the box. This power supply is 95% modular, leaving only the 24pin ATX and the ATX12V connector.
The ratings of the Corsair CMPSU-650HX
The CPU Heatsink
The heat sink comes with some random thermal goop.
Bobba Fett Original Space Gold gets rid of that with ease.
The CPU
The AMD Phenom II 1055T six-core processor in all its glory.
Some quality thermal goop to choose from.. Arctic Silver 5 seem best suited for this job.
An extremely flashy image of the 1055T mounted.
The AS5 has been applied.
CPU all sorted.
Memory Bonanza
16 gigabytes of DDR3 1333MHz..
The memory specs.
All banks filled, and the board is maxed out.
The EVGA GTS450 in all its glory.
Mounted.
