I'm really excited about this build! It was way easier to build in than I ever could have expected! I actually finished building this thing in like half an hour with no instructions!
Totally pairing this with a portable gaming monitor!
A new build with classic components from MSI, Noctua and NZXT featuring the MSI P45 Platinum with a Q9550S paired with top-of-the-line 4GB 1150MHz DDR2 Reapers and the MSI GTX 465 Golden Edition, in an NZXT S340 Elite with Noctua fans. I decided it was time for a Copper/Brown/White theme and so I put some old hardware to use, including the beautiful P45 Platinum which I pulled from a scrap bin. This is the spiritual successor my original 3-Way SLI GTX 465 rig, but now focused on the ultimate GTX 465 Golden Edition from MSI. This card retains its original firmware and is still a GTX 465, not a GTX 470.
Full specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550S
MSI P45 Platinum (saved from scrap)
OCZ Reaper DDR2 1150MHz
MSI GTX 465 Golden Edition 1GB Fermi (not flashed)
NZXT S340 Elite
EVGA 750 G2 80+ Gold
Samsung 850 Evo 120GB
Cooler Master Seidon 240M (it has LGA775 support)
Noctua NF-S12 fans
Windows 10 Pro
This intention of this build was to relive the GTX 465 experience in 2022 and play old titles that have been sitting in my library forever, such as Far Cry 1 and 2, Just Cause and other classics. It's admittedly tough going back to a 1GB Fermi card after so many years of using my R9 290, R9 380 underwater and an RX 480 in Chile. I hope this quick build log tickles the fancy of the longtime supporters of the original 3-Way SLI rig, namely, @TheSLSAMG@xTrekStorex @vinyldash303 @JoshM@flibberdipper and others whose names have changed since 2014.
You should use it. It's an exclusive feature to the Dark Hero. As in, it's the only AM4 board that allows you to run an all core OC alongside the regular boost function.
It's funny because a company operating in a free market and making a profit motivated choice to change their name for better brand perception is literally nothing like a totalitarian regime forcing people to conform to the will of the party.

We know that it's a little early to be announcing this project since it doesn't release until January 2023 but we ask you be patient with us, we want to take our time to do it right. Today's forum update added a lot of the back-end necessary for the forum integration with the NFTs which allows us to move forward with the project. This is something we've been quietly working on for some time and we're very passionate about bringing this NFT opportunity to our community. We're hoping to get the community involved in this project as much as possible as it is the community which makes the forum. Without you none of this would be possible. Please share any feedback or suggestions you have.
