    Battle of the A64 s939 overclock

    I would try benching it with the marvell disabled in the bios and see what happens. At least you can eliminate it as the cause. Also on the mshtml error, what version is the mshtml.dll file?

    Major Cooling issues.

    I have the Tsunami Dream case http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-133-132&depa=0 Has 4 ext 5.25 bays, 5 int 3.5 drive bays, is aluminum, cool, quiet, and cheaper than a lian-li. Here is an interior shot of it so you can see for space issues you might have...

    Northbridge fan failing on my IC7...

    I had a GA-7VAXP gigabyte board that had an awful noise coming from the northbridge fan and replaced it with the nb47j posted above and it worked very well. The adjustable arms made it a snap to fit and install. There are pushpins that snap into the existing mobo holes. Think it was $8.00...

    Neo2 Plat Beta and MOD Bios HELP PLEASE!!! cant get voltage % to stay set

    I have an issue on my Neo2 that if I change the CPU VID number it will not stick either with the 1.4 stock bios. However if I leave that alone on stock and just use the % over setting it seems to bump the voltage fine. Have you tried it at stock and then set like 13% over?

    Why is my card such a bad OCer?!

    I think it is mostly luck of the draw. I have a BFG 6800GT like your previous one that will not go to 400/1100 395/1080 is the most I can get out of it. Sometimes life is brutal. I got a proc and board that will run like a scalded dog and a video card that wants to run stock.

    S939 overclockability?

    I would highly recommend the A64 3000+ I am currently running 2.6 but have benched it at 2.7GHZ. Need water cooling to leave it there though. Temps are a little higher than I'd like. http://home.comcast.net/~jeshaffer/3000OC.xls

    NEW A64 3500+ Benchmark... Decent?

    Nice OC, I think you have more headroom. After the phonomenal experience with my 3000 I really want an FX badly http://home.comcast.net/~jeshaffer/screenshot.JPG

    A good 939 Mobo

    I also have an MSI. The early issues from what I can tell were resolved with bios updates. I am as the former post states overclocking the he$$ out of it and still have no stability issues. I think the ASUS or MSI would be excellent choices. I am not a huge fan of Gigabyte as I had a...

    How much does it help performance wise to Run 1:1 divider when Overclocking? A64 939

    I think your question was the effect of 1:1 vs say a 5:6 on performance. I have some Geil PC4000 Ultra ram but am running a divider due to my FSB speed being 300 and the ram even with looser timings did not want to run at DDR 600 speeds. I saw a relatively stable performance bump...

    New PC Specs - Love some input before I buy

    I have the neo2 platinum and have stability at 290FSB can boot and run windows and most apps at 300FSB with a 166 divider and Geil PC4000 at 2.75 volts. I think I can get it stable at 300 but for some reason my voltage will not go past 1.5. I think 1.55 will stabilize the CPU. Trying a new bios...
