Yes, not a typo; really 1.5CAS. However, there's a slight problem - sensor reports the temperature at 69°C, idle (up from ~24°C idle). Seems like a bug (because the heatsink feels cold to the touch, and I didn't reseat it; just changed the vdimm voltage in BIOS). Well, so far, no errors, I'll go...

Intel rules! My Celeron-2 will whoop yo ass.

I can't say I don't like the x800 series. Well, only one card. And that x800xtpe... then again, from nVidia's side I only like 6800U.

Change that to almost never correct. I'm idling at what is apparently, 23°C. Sometimes, I'm idling about about 34°C; but neither reading is close to the actual ~44°C.

Who the fuck was designing this board?! It violates just about every specification. First of all, the 4-pin power is too far from the PSU; I have to strain the cable so much that the socket it's in bends precariously. The Floppy plug is on backwards. The 18-pin power plug is on backwards. There...

Update- who the fuck was designing this board?! It violates just about EVERY specification. The 4-pin power plug is too far away; I have to stretch my cable so hard that the socket bends. The 12-pin power plug is on backwards. The floppy plug is on backwards. The chipset is WAY too close to the...

I just bought it today. Haven't had time to test it yet; but I'm pretty sure it won't disappoint :D. Oh, what's this 4.0vdimm BIOS? excellent.

It's only $450 now, as opposed to over $600 :D

The differences are so small that they fall well into the margin of error... I, too run 4x HT. nF3 250 are supposed to be able to handle 1GHz.. Your board isn't a very good one. K8N Neo Platinum is much better; but then again there's even a better one-- DFI Lanparty 250UT... that board is w00t...

Ha! Mine is better does 2.48 on 1.74... and I was almost worried my ClawHammer sucked...

I'd murder for free :)

Bah! I'm moving to watercooling, myself. Quieter, and more effective.

No, but I can let you stay an idiot. When will people find out that prices for these things are purely arbitrary? They could sell them for much less, if they wanted to.

It only gives him 2.85; and that ram wants upwards of 3.0 to OC well... just a strange thing about Brainpoer PCB sticks; such as those. And, before you do anything; go to MSI's forums, I'm sure people will give you a good overclocking BIOS there... for Neo Platinum; there are only a couple...

Try another BIOS.

He could use a divider. If you want aircooling; Thermalright XP90 is a good heatsink.

Now look what you've done... :rolleyes:

How much voltage to do 2.5?

I got mine to 2.48 on air, and a stupid undervolting board... but yeah, that's not too bad :D

I'm most interested in how the dent got there.

Well, the rad takes up so much space! So, I was thinking; wouldn't it work just as well to have a waterblock strapped to a heatsink (such as an XP90, for example) instead of a radiator? Would it even work? Just for speculation; I'm not going to try it hehe :D

There's no one-size-fits-all CPU. For some things; P4 is better; others- Athlon64, Xeon, Opteron, or even an Apple. I suggest looking around at some benchmarks for the task you'll use your rig most for. [H] has some; other places do have them too. For gaming, for example, A64 is king; while...

Can't argue with that; good choice of memory (TCCD with Brainpower PCB; can't go wrong with those) and a decent board. I'd wait till DFI rolls out their own nF3Ultra board; but that's just me... TCCD is a revision of DDR SDRAM memory chips made by Samsung. And a very good one at that. I've...

3700+ and 3400+ is like heaven and earth. While the 3400+ is just a slightly better 3200+, which makes it a stupid choice whatsoever, the 3700+ is different. It's a new breed of ClawHammers, similar to the FX53. It can attain clock speeds upwards for 2.8GHz on 1.75-1.8vcore; something that...

Slap the stock cooler back on and RMA it's ass. And use the ATiSilencer next time; they have much better mounting.

Do you even know what the hell you're talking about? Because you've listed the features for s939 processors. The boards; however suck. Would you have Neo2, the troublesome, or A8V, which is arguably, even worse? I'd wait for them to mature up a little bit. These are first generation s939 boards...

Agreed. Mobos are a little immature, but you shold find the DFI one sometime soon, if you don't plan on buying right away. Even if you do buy it today, you can always replace the board later; if you happen to become unhappy with the former.

You know, somehow I'd be more excited about the 6900... or disappointed, either which. The 6600 isn't anything to write home about. Why, two 6600GTs in SLi aren't nearly as good as a single 6800GT; and the setup costs about the same.

Yeah, guess I'll stick with s754 untill dual core becomes worth it. And they are, indeed bringing dual core Opterons to the market first.

Cache doesn't help? That's a new one. Why do they even have it, then? Maybe we could get rid of it entirely since it doesn't help. Why, it would make the production costs much lower. As for ClawHammers being bad overclockers; wrong again: 3700+ can reach upwards of 2.8GHz on about...

Just looked at your sig; my idle temps are higher than your load! LOL.

Yes, the OCZ variant has Brainpower PCB, which is slightly better than JEDEC PCB's... Mushkin makes their own PCBs though, you can never tell..

Either PSU, or video card. Try unplugging unnecessary things, like optical drives, etc, and undervolting and downclocking the CPU to see if the problem goes away. Alternatively, you could try the video card in someone else's computer, and see if it behaves the same way. Edit: read that it...

Bwhahahahaha! Brilliant.

Get a better board, and overvolt it. Besides, I'm pretty sure BH-5 won't do 250MHz on 2.9vdimm (that's the most you have) on any kind of timings. However, at about 3.4-3.5vdimm, it can do 250MHz at 2-2-2-X. DFI Lanparty 250UT comes to mind; with vdimm adjustable up to 3.8V

He's not judging current events; merely stating his views. Besides, they are mostly correct. The firefighter protects his interest in not burning alive, while the soldier destroys surplus labor, so that wallstreet can get richer. That's not really his interest. Or, do you really beleive that the...

Oh well, I never liked eVGA, anyway.

The hell? What does dual channel memory have to do with OCing? What do barbers have to do with apples? Edit: didn't notice his n00ber rank. Alright, allow me to explain myself-- dual channel operation has NOTHING to do with overclocking. It requires a 128-bit wide memory bus, which s754...

That's why I used a phone card when RMAing my subwoofer... And a lot of manufacturers have toll-free support lines.

How exactly is the latter statement relevant; or the former, for that matter? "Get off my crack, and stay off it. That stuff isn't for amateurs. :rolleyes: How heavy is the apple?"
