    AMD X2 4400+ O.C. Tips

    well, i tried the settings and all it did was boot at post in a loop (tried to catch what it said but it was something about "skipping the boot...(and that's all i got). Set Mult to 10x set FSB to 250 HTT to 4x bumped vcore up 1 notch only to 1.375 (from 1.35). Ram setting was...

    AMD X2 4400+ O.C. Tips

    Oh, i see. Maybe the 200mhz at post is just a generic reading then? Wouldn't it not be running dual channel then either though? Thank you, I'll try out your suggested OC. Would you call this more of a safe overclock btw? (just interested in seeing what's what, but I don't want to burn...

    AMD X2 4400+ O.C. Tips

    No it's a "socket 939 nforce 3 250" chipset (sorry, i should have added that). Gigabyte GA-K8NS ultra-939 I had to be very deliberate back then in avoiding a nforce 4 chipset (because of my a/v hardware reqs, which are very picky...but, i do like them). Yes on 4 sticks (1gb ea), (not going...

    AMD X2 4400+ O.C. Tips

    Wow, you're kidding...how much for a new socket 939 X2 CPU? i guess i could sell it for something. (so much easier to just pick it up and move it to the extra system room though :) And so the Athlon II X4 630 will pop right in to the existing gigbyte (socket 939) mobo? i never knew that...

    AMD X2 4400+ O.C. Tips

    Oops, Must be DDR 1 I'll try some more searches, but really I'm not seeing any info that relates to my mobo/cpu setup really. Fair amount of info of water-cooled OCs, not so much for the stock HSF settings I can try. I admit I'm confused with the bios settings and which settings apply to...

    AMD X2 4400+ O.C. Tips

    So, I've been using this socket 939 X2 4400+ stock since I owned it and never looked into overclocking it. I'll be ordering a new X6 system soon thanks to help here (likely - no OCing that as well) and so this 4400+ sys will be avail for other things. Just very curious now that I've...

    Please help: building a new A/V system

    Ok, understood. I'm going with the X6. Well, I can utilize both cores of this 4400+ with Sony apps and Pro Tools 8 right now, so I assume it would be able to utilize all 6 cores of the X6. And thank you once again btw!

    Please help: building a new A/V system

    Ok, so I think I'm with ya on the Phenom II X6 2.8, it's only a little more $. But, just checking all this, since it's running 6 cores at 2.8, won't the quad running at 3.2ghz be somewhat close in performance in comparison with the A/V work I'm doing? or are those added 2 cores allowing for a...

    Please help: building a new A/V system

    Thank you for the fast reply! Well, i have to stay Win XP pro :( at the moment (looked into it and stupid Pro Tools MPowered 8.03 (which I have to use for some clients at times) won't fly right in Win7 in my scenario. Plus my preferred audio card preferred "driver version" will work only in...

    Please help: building a new A/V system

    Hi, I've been using an Athlon X2 4400+ for a while now (the system is still somewhat ok and I could keep using for a while, perfect for my hardware needs though and still running great, ... it's just time I think to upgrade get some faster processing, etc.). My hardware needs are quite specific...

    New to AMD X2 OC: info on particular OC settings

    oh thanks. I might be able to get by at stock vcore eh? I'd like to test just real quick. I was thinking if i did oc one day, i'd prob only go for a safe n sane oc (daw system here). Although, ya know...this thing is doing what I need as is, but it's always nice to gain a lil xtra. well...
