Yet another QuadCore

Yesterday I assembled another QuadCore computer, this time it is the one from Andreas, a friend.

However, the components are nearly the same as last time, except CPU, power supply and harddisk + multi dvd burner:

• AMD PHENOM 9600 4x2.3GHZ Black Edition AM2+boxed
• Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 Single-Slot, 512MB GDDR4, 2x DVI, TV-out, PCIe 2.0
• Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4, 790X
• Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB
  
• Kingston KIT 2048MB DDR2 1066
• Power supply 550W with 14cm fan
• SAMSUNG SH-S203D SATA black bulk DVD Writer

This time the boot process and the setup were not the problem, the problem, in the end, was the DDR2 RAM. Seems that it is unstable with the full 1066MHz, after manually changing it to 800MHz it worked, before that it crashes all the time. We have to bring it back and get new one for those.

For more detailed information on some of this components, look down to the other assemble thread.

Not more news for now, ... before the assembling I was at another job interview, after the assembling I have been to a grillfest organized from our organisation HagenbergerCircle. And yes, I still write on my master thesis.
