    AMD 4000+ dead; what to buy?

    You might get lucky with a 146 oem from monarch, rumor has it they are cabne. cabne is the best so far but from what I can tell getting an early week like 0530 or before is the key as the cabye's from that time are good. One guy who ordered a 148 from monarch got a cabne 0528, they probably...

    OCZ or Patriot 2G Set?

    You might need the microsoft dual core fix if you haven't applied it already for stuttering.

    Club OpterOWN 144-146 (CABNE) Unite!

    also got a cabye from monarch 0536. I also was hoping for cabne but I think ewiz is king on that. My box was blown up too. It has a crease down the right side and I can see the green stuff everywhere. Hopefully the chip isn't toast.

    You should always overclock pretty much everything.

    Whats the average STABLE oc for X2 3800+?

    I'm contemplating maybe getting a dual core and I'm kind of torn between 3800 and an opteron single core. Unless the 3800's can reach over 2600 pretty regularly I doubt I'll get one. I don't rip cd's or do anything else while gaming. I see all the posts " I'm burning a cd, emailing my mom...

    First OVERCLOCK ever on my X2 3800+

    He's right about the chipset v. Most of the time you shouldn't need to change it. The most important thing about oc'ing is to start at stock volts and turn up the clock in increments then test. When you crash you raise the voltage on the chip or ram as little as possible then test again and...

    Current Overclocked AMD 3800+ X2

    Considering you got that oc without having to raise the voltage much it's probably a higher quality chip than it's rated for. Most of the low end chips can run higher just fine. They spec them for whatever speed they need and if they have good chips but need lower specs then they just rate good...

    First OVERCLOCK ever on my X2 3800+

    Are you at 1.55 in the bios? My smartguardian always reads .03 low. I think they pretty much all do so your probly at 1.55 actual. I'm scared of voltage so I wouldn't go any higher. Temps look good but you'll have to test when you're running prime or occt to make sure the load temp isn't...

    I Feel Bad

    Suicide screens are retarded. If it don't run games or benchmarks it sucks. Tell your friend that and maybe you can save him posting suicide screens and us from looking at them.

    Smack up that Celleron

    Where does it say move jp5? Are you looking in the manual? Ususally the best thing to do is look for some writing on the mobo. If it's a semi real motherboard and not a dell or something usually the bus and voltage info is printed on it. Often during manufacturing they change stuff from what it...

    Sempron 3400+ 64bit (754) or Athlon64 3000+ (939)

    Don't waste money buying 754 or agp anything. Get an opteron 144 when it comes out and pci'e mobo, you may not need sli but don't even consider buying stuff that you can't upgrade. "I'm never going to upgrade"? Never say never cuz you probably will. You will probably oc also once you see how...

    Supreme Mag Drive Pumps (half-off) for watercooling

    it's also too big and produces too much heat into the water. MY load temps don't go up much at all and it has been good but if I were to get a new pump I'd look at one of the 12v models. From what I understand you can put a rheostat on them and control flow, noise and heat. Check some of the...

    Unstable Venice help me out!

    you should probably leave your htt at auto though you can try setting it maually. You probably shouldn't be running 3-10 bios with that ram. Why 8x? You should definitly go to dfi street.

    be careful with silver thermal compounds...

    Some of you may have heard of colloidal silver. Its basically water that has very fine silver particles in it. Sound familiar? Silver kills many types of germs and it used to used in some medicines. Some people drink water with silver in it even today as it's often promoted as a "miracle...

    Apparently some of the peeps here smoke a lot of crack from some of the posts of I saw on this thread. Dude wants to put a couple of tecs in his loop and everybody starts going on about ammonia and building a phase change....rofl Having open vats of alchohol and spraying r22 all over the place...
