Well, the Opteron is actually more expensive then my 3700 according to newegg.
Thanks for explaining all that to me, btw I heard that I shouldn't overclock for like a week after I get it and I should run prime95 or w/e overnight.
so you're thinking that 1.5v is too much on stock cooling? Hmmm...
I might just start at like 1.4v and see if its stable, then go up one by one.
But what do you guys think of me just going into the bios and setting the stuff to what I posted in my first thread instead of taking the...
as in the harddrive or dvd burners, etc?
also, why are they on the side of the vent duct?
OH, and does adding an 80mm fan to the vent. duct really make a difference?
I'll probably be using the stock heatsink although I have a p180 which is pretty good at keeping the case cool, or so I hear. I'll be going with the ASUS and I'll be getting an enermax noisetaker 485w psu.
I was wondering this too... Also, what are the little things on the other side of the duct for, the things you can pull out that have metal and plastic on them?
I think I'll just go with the ASUS, oh and thanks guys for not being such noob haters, I was expecting all kinds of hate... you guys are awesome :)
Anyways, what do ya'll think of just setting the BIOS to those settings to avoid doing it myself and rebooting 11ty billion times?
Hey guys... I'm about to built a PC and I've already purcahsed some parts, but I have a few quick questions about overclocking, and yes, I have read up on it a lot.
Okay, so I'm thinking about getting an AMD 64 3700+ since I heard its an amazing overclocker and its very easy to get it to...
