saw it at my local BB for $306.48... list price was $374.99. Maybe they'll accept the 10% off mover's coupon.

I have an Antec Solo Plus 550 (same case, different color and PSU), and the hard drives get pretty hot without the 92mm fans in front. I ended up adding 2 92mm fans up front, 2 more 80mm fans (zip tied to the 5.25 bay) to push cool air to the CPU HSF. My video card is huge (4870) and was...

Anyone have any thoughts?

Agreed, my PLL was 1.57 in BIOS to get 3.77Ghz stable (450 FSB). It wouldn't boot without upping PLL past 425 FSB.

I usually leave my machine on, its not a huge issue, but I tend to reboot at least once a day, and just started noticing it resetting to defaults (not every time). It doesn't do this when I have it on my 3.61Ghz stable settings. (Notably MCH voltage, CPU vCore, and PLL voltages are all...

Okay, still having issues... at 3.77Ghz it's stable 24 hours w/ Prime95, 10/10 Intel Burn test... yet if I reboot a lot, sometimes it has trouble posting and resets to default settings. Same issue as Copyright... anyone have any ideas about that? I've bumped it back down to 3.61Ghz because I...

I play Mass Effect with everything turned up and 8x AA forced in Catalyst, with no lag or slowdowns. Gaming rez is 1680x1050. Rig is in the signature. I'd say for 1680x1050, the sweet spot would be the 4870s or 260gtx core 216. Both are similarly priced right now.

Yeah, it was the PLL to get the FSB that high. With 6 multi still would get BSODs.

Running Intel Burn Test, I hit 69C max on Core 0 in RealTemp. Passed 10/10 runs @ 3774Mhz! I think this is good enough for me... I don't want to go over 70C. The voltage is 1.275 in BIOS and 1.248 in CPU-Z. Prime95 load @ 55C (57C Max) IBT load @ 67C! (69C Max)

So prime95 currently 7 hours stable and running... going to let it keep going. I did some research on CPU PLL, this is what I found: All clock circuits have a certain amount of jitter. Increasing the clock speed results in the jitter increasing also. By raising the PLL voltage the noise...

Wow this is so weird, but at the suggestion from googling my exact board and chip, I decided to raise CPU PLL one tick. (Have no idea what that does btw) This is what I set my BIOS for 444FSB X8.5 = 3774Mhz, DDR2-1066 (444x2.4 = 1066): ******Motherboard Voltage Control****** Load-Line...

Okay I added a fan to the northbridge and intake in my 5.25" bay to blow cooler air over the CPU. I want to try to make this work. What settings should I use? Here my current settings to get 3.61Ghz stable 24hour prime blend. ******Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.)******...

Tried different dividers, no help. Upping MCH allowed me to boot, but soon got BSODs. I'm thinking its the 8GB of RAM, but I need the RAM since I run multiple Virtual Machines for testing. I guess I can live with 3.61 ghz 24/7 stable @ 1.25 Vcore. thanks for the advice guys... i think...

Hey everyone, trying to figure out why I can't get my Q9550 stable over 3.6Ghz. Here is my config: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 G-Skill DDR2-1066 rated at (6-6-6-15) w/ 2.0V 8GB (4x2GB) Currently Prime95 4 threads "Blend" 24 hour stable @ 425 FSB with 8.5 divider, =...

I went with the 4870 1gb since the GTX260 it wouldn't fit my case either, and it is not supported in "another" OS..
