I also did exactly like this with my trusty old core i5 650 and a nice Amd64 Cooler i had (artic frozen64) that did not fit intel specs. Worked very well and got 20C less under load and overclocked to 4.4GHZ.

4ghz its just a psychological barrier... If you reach 3.8 3.9ghz should be great too and maybe way less voltage and heat. It's funny that almost all of of this architecture CPUs are hitting a wall at around 4ghz...even the ryzen7 with way less cores. Wonder what is holding them.

Very nice! Did you manage to unbent the pins and get it working? Edit: the water block did not interfere with the closest ram slots?

Please include outside US too! I can pay the shipping+taxes costs!

Looks very promising! Definitely a must see review!

OMG Steve, you made so much of what H is today, its sad to see you gone :( Your humor to me was top notch and always made a fun and entertaining reading! Very sad :( Although every journey has its end, hope to see you together again, Godspeed indeed!

Is this any faster than my pentium 133????

no brand...i aint going to risk it...ill buy a new 550W PSU with the video card.

Maybe a motherboard problem? Are all the drivers updated? It could be de AGP mini driver...or something like it....what is your chipset?

Well, thats diferent, you got 20/24amps to use. I only have 1 rail rated at 15amps.... Anyone knows how much amps on the 12V a DVDrw, 80gb Maxtor and a sempron 2800+ (venice) + MB can use?

Money's the problem! i'm very tight on budget and if i have to get a new power suply i'm gonna have to cut on other things that i coundn't. this card fits perfectly to me because of its VIVO and good 3d performance...i was going to get a 7600gt but the x1800GTO fits better to my needs. I'm...

I'm going to buy a X1800GTO VIVO and i'm seing some sites listing a 450W for minimum PSU and i got a 430W with 15amps on 12V. In this thread i found a guy (last post) that got a X1800XT doing fine with the same i got, although not the same brand...
