Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Yeah, I've tried just about everything in between 266 and 400. :-P
I forget exactly what the lowest vCore you can set is, but it's just over 1.2v. 1.2125, I believe.
Yeah, I got the 0507 earlier today. Didn't help a bit.
Although, you can now push the NB voltage up to 1.65! That should be a huge improvement, for those who don't seem to be stuck like I am.
So, no one has any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong?
After I couldn't push the...
If a motherboard with a chipset SPECIFICALLY designed for Conroe support doesn't support Conroe, than there is a serious problem.
They aren't just supposed to support Conroe, they don't need a flash - the initial BIOS for these boards are designed with Conroe support.
Regardless of what...
Makes sense. The P5B is listed as:
Memory
CPU
FSB Termination (I was told not to touch this - is that correct??)
Northbridge
Southbridge
ICH
I haven't touched the southbridge or ICH, since they're not affected by the overclock.
See, I just want at least 400 - I know other people can do it, and my week 25 E6400 should be able to get there.
I've seen the same posts, but unless MCH voltage is known as something else, (is this the same as northbridge?) then I have no idea. If it IS the northbridge, I still have no luck...
Ok, so some people have had great experiences with this board. I just read on xtreme about someone hitting over 500fsb without mods.
Does anyone else have MY luck? I can hit 370 without an issue. A hair above that, and the board won't post.
I have the latest BIOS, 0505 - supports changing...
For gaming - There IS an improvement, in memory and cpu limited games. But, 2 issues I have with really extracting this thing's potential:
1 - I have but a single 7900GT. Woe is me. :P All of the newer games are still WAY GPU limited anyway.
2 - Most of the games I actually play aren't...
My question is, in light of NewEgg's "awesome" customer service.... How many of you 'Egg supporters paid the extra $100 or so to get your Conroe from NewEgg?
My point exactly.
edit: Don't get me wrong, I like Newegg. I've never had a problem ordering from them, etc. But there are way too...
Coming from my A64 3200+ @ 2.8ghz, it feels pretty good.
Everything you do is instant - BUT, it really was instant before. My Athlon was definitely not slow.
In general operating, you really don't notice a huge difference. (aside from the dual core/multitasking aspect), but that's because...
I do agree with you, but I also agree with him, to a point. He is right, in this day and age, companies don't care. If one product can go for 2x its MSRP, other companies WILL start overcharging if supply becomes short.
On a typical day at the grocery store? Not feasable. People will just go...
