    Well, I had some problems with my old Gigabyte motherboard (Bios decided to overwrite the HPA of my 1TB HDD and convert it to 33MB), I decided to replace it. With the Mobo replacement there was a chain of other things to change...in short... COMPLETE NEW^^

    Here a couple of shots I made during assembling the new machine...sorry for the poor image quality, Blackberry with its stupid cams ^^

    Cable ...mess

    This upgrade brought a huge improvement ... games like Black Ops, BF BC2, SC2 can now be played in Max setting ...
    When I find some spare time I will do some rewiring, since the wiring now is just a huge mess...next steps are new CPU cooler and maybe new PSU because the cables are bit short to do some proper cableing.
