My New System: RUNNING, Aquamark score, pics to come

66lemieux67

Yesterday I put together my system. Here's the Specs
Asus P5P800 motherboard
Pentium 4 LGA 775 3.0Ghz ( stock headsink/fan )
XFX 6600GT
2x 512mb Corsair Value Select, running Dual Channel
Maxtor 7200rpm 80 gb HDD
SoundBlaster5.1 Sound Card ( it's old, still better than onboard, I think )
AOpen 56K
DVD Drive
LG 42 24 42 CD-ROM/CDR/CDRW burner
floppy
Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W PSU
"Ogre" Nikao case
with
80mm side intake
120mm front, 120mm back
PCI Exhaust Blower

Have ran Aquamark a few times, day 1 got 28,000-32,000.
Just ran it:
Gfx 6,684
CPU 7,407
Score: 46,061

As for building it, went good until I tried a POST, for half an hour wracked me and my friend's brains, then I realized the powerbar was off

Once we all the drives in, booted it up... Wouldnt detect the HDD, or IDE drives! Got it detecting them and realized CPU was running 85-92 CELSIUS!!! Took a look at the heatsink, peeled off the paste, smudged it around with a debit card, and popped it in hard as I could, got it down to...
39C CPU, 33C Mobo right now

I'll have pics as soon as I can take my camera in, my digital ( cheapo ) cam isn't working right.

Ps: my first build
