    WidowPC WidowFX Evaluation @ [H]

    Is it just me or do the pictures accompanying the article appear to show that the case was actually undamaged at a point after you guys unwrapped it, and then was subsequently damaged? The first and second pictures of the unpackaged case on page 3 show the top of the case in mint condition...

    is this considered stable for an OC?

    well by stable i mean do you think that this OC is stable enough to be considered a REAL OC?

    is this considered stable for an OC?

    y0! x2 4400+ @ 262x9.5, 1.472v, RAM 2.5-3-3-8 2T (i think 5:4 for the divider) 3x HTT okay: prime95 is apparently stable, i ran it for 10h33m on small FFTs and it only just fuxxed up, superpi has no qualms about it but is it considered stable? i can't think of a situation in which my...

    quick one: A64 mem vs clockspd question

    it's me again my question is this do athlon 64's perform better with higher bandwidth and looser timings or higher clockspeeds and tighter timings? the reason i ask is i have figured out that my 4400 can handle 270x9, ram 1:1 2.5-3-3-10 2T resulting in 2430mhz cpu and 540mhz RAM (not bad...

    Can varying voltage damage an X2?

    k, i just finished ~5hrs of prime95 (x2) coupled with winamp running. also finished superpimod 1.4 1M and 8M. i'll call it stable for the time being. i've done exactly what you guys have suggested. i've got the vcore set to 1.425 which the BIOS and software apps thinks is 1.456v.. i've hit...

    killed a cpu?

    call me chowchewchee the merciless :) celeron 333 - it was shit and slow so i coated it in epoxy resin and made a sort of deformed paperweight out of it, it's even got bits of bark and debris stuck to it from me performing the procedure outdoors - it rocks amd k6-2 450 (i think) - it...

    Can varying voltage damage an X2?

    thanks for the reassuring replies. i get the point about how i'm running it over stock voltage anyway heh. my mobo is an a8n-sli deluxe (i'm considering getting a DFI SLI board for the extra overclockability, i have one in my other PC and it rocks) and the highest it got to at ~1.42v after 9...

    Can varying voltage damage an X2?

    Hi. My motherboard seems to like giving my X2 slightly more voltage than what I ask it to. It fluctuates between being slightly above what I set it to, to noticeably more. Example: I set my vcore to 1.4375v, and according to the BIOS and Lavalys Everest the actual vcore is anywhere between...

    Yearning for 1997...

    i loved my p133 (no MMX), 32mb EDO, intel mobo, hercules terminator 2MB, 15" samsung monitor beast. king's quest, syndicate and ultima needed MoSlow :P and that was without using the turbo button :D OS/2 ROCKS!

    OCing Problems with X2 4400+

    I thought about the ram but I have seen it (personally) run at 466 @ 2-3-3-7 1T for an extended period of time (three weeks pretty much 18/7 so i highly doubt its that... i didnt know about the SATA 1-2-3-4 thingo, i'll give it a shot and crank her up. thanks :) I also thought of another...

    OCing Problems with X2 4400+

    bios is 1015, i'm def sure that buses are locked p.s. i have the ram in DIMMs 3 & 4 pps i just saw the link you posted in that other thread about 4400s, AMD64 TCaseMax - v1.14 ---------------------- CPU Information (CPU #1): Standard CPUID: Family: F, Model: 3, Stepping: 2...

    OCing Problems with X2 4400+

    sorry, i'm a big fan of copy & paste - second attempt CPU FSB was 215 :) i've had a look at your OC guide and i've tried to follow it as closely as possibly but my attemp[ts always end up with that damned high pitch sound... i'd love a CPU with 512mb of l2 cache :p but point taken, i...

    OCing Problems with X2 4400+

    yo, a while ago i bought a new pc, and then a couple of weeks ago i came into some money so i bought a newER PC :) i got an X24400+ (JH-E6, apparently there are newJH-E4s out there with better mem controllers - bastards), an asus a8n-sli, an audigy 2 and 1gb of corsair xms3200 2-2-2-5 1T...

    7800GT SLI, X1800XT, or 7800 GTX 512mb...?

    I'd go the GTX 512MB, and then in a year or so buy another and SLi them. ATi can safely be ignored until their next release. Yeah, buy the GTX.

    256mb 7800gt OR 512mb 6800gt

    If you're going to buy a new video card ignore absolutely everything except the 7800 series (including ATi's new waste of money - talk about a new 5800!). Why would you pay money for something that doesn't support Transparency AA? That's like buying a Duron when you could have an Athlon 64...
