    x800XL - what are you getting for overclocks?

    For what it's worth, I'm getting 680 core, 610 mem out of my X800 pro, on air with voltage mods. vGPU is 1.9V, vDDR is 2.30V, vDDQ is 2.31v Cooling is a stock OEM Athlon 64 HSF modified to bolt directly to the core. Mini-heatsinks epoxied to the DDR3 chips.

    I broke a cap off =[

    That's an SMD (surface-mount) electolytic cap. Breaking it off the base meant that you most probably damaged the inside beyond repair. That capacitor is pretty crucial for supplying enough stable power to your card's GPU and memory, as well as acting as a noise filter. Your card is far...

    Intel Core 2 Gaming Performance

    That's rather interesting considering your troll-like behaviour with the noobie statement. Put a sock in it, pal, or stay on topic. You're not impressing anybody.

    Need a good HSF for an AXP

    Be sure to post your results! :) I have the Coolermaster Jet7, which worked a treat on my Barton. I modified it to fit my A64 3000+ (with heatspreader removed), and my CPU temps never go above 55'C, even when OC'ed to 2.6GHZ.

    Where'd all the sane people go?

    It's impossible for people to be completely unbiased. That's a simple fact. What annoys me is when someone enters, say, an intel thread, and criticizes the product via some related aspect of the thread but which is somewhat off-topic. Immediately the poster is branded a fan-boy, and has to...

    Intel Core 2 Gaming Performance

    Wow. So much has been said in this thread, and it is easy to appreciate both sides of the argument. From my perspective, I believe that the article did not quite show us what Core 2 is capable of. Yes, I understand that there were issues regarding the chipset used, as well issues with...
