I've got a Scythe Ninja on there - awesome heatsink and VERY quiet.

brycejones said:How does the HT multiplier effect the memory clock? In otherwords whats the best way to keep the memory clock around 200 mhz?
Talonz said:That's okay, but I'm not sure what this nForce3 chipset can handle, 800? Once again, you'll have to do your own testing. 3x, maybe 4x will work for 2.25ghz.
Fenris_Ulf said:I've found the HT limit to be around 800 for this chipset, so 3x is most appropriate. I'm running at 266 (using clockgen) which gives me a memory speed of about 220 and a HT of 800. I wanted this PC really quiet, so I've got a Scythe Ninja and a couple of 120mm fans. Mid 30's for temperature, depends on room temp. I also found that the nVidia 5.11 drivers (specifically LAN) would hose my XP install every time. I had to go to the older 5.10 drivers, but they work great.
Talonz said:The HT link can only support ~1000mhz, and your HT link frequency can be calculated by FSB * HT multiplier. So that's one thing you will need to change (but never a limiting factor, as you can use multipliers down to 1x).
The memory clock can be controlled by the force memory clock option in BIOS. This is how you figure it out:
(Forced Memory Speed)/(200) = memory divider
Actual memory speed = FSB * memory divider
So 166mhz "forced memory speed" in bios = 166/200 = .83, or 5/6
133 mhz forced = 2/3 = .66 and so on.
So lets say you're going with a FSB of 250mhz for 2.25ghz (250 * 9, this cpu's multiplier).
a 5/6 divider (forced 166mhz) will get you: 250 * (5/6) = 208 mhz for your memory speed. Now, you also need to make sure the HTT link doesn't limit you, so 4x * 250 is 1000mhz. That's okay, but I'm not sure what this nForce3 chipset can handle, 800? Once again, you'll have to do your own testing. 3x, maybe 4x will work for 2.25ghz.

** I just checked it, shows its still good, in stock, 79.99
Ya, says "in stock, same day shipping" but it doesn't get added to the shopping cart.noobtech said:Deal is dead... it wont' let me add to cart. (been on hold trying to see if I can order, but no one is answering) grrr... I wants it when I can't have it. LoL
*Edit... just got off the phone with outpost, FINALLY!! I ordered 3 Sempron Combos and one 3000+ combo. I am going to be building a pc for my sister in LAW & stuff... cool.

silentnswift said:Really? It adds to cart for me still, maybe its back up? I click add to cart and it goes right to shopping cart.
Fenris_Ulf said:The one with the four pipes is a good HSF. Definitely great for the price ($18 shipped). Roughly comparable to a XP-90. And it will fit, socket 754 and 939 use the same heatsinks.
MiXdNuTs said:Has anyone been able to get MBM5 to work on this? It freaks out and thinks my system is like at 150 C. Also I can't even find this board listed. Also, any one get cool and quiet to work for this board, are these CPUs 90 or 130 nm, and are there any other hidden goodies for this chip? Thanks.
