    lga775 mobo overclocking question

    lga775 mobo overclocking question

    Hey guys, I'm looking for an lga775 mother board ~150US that can run at least a 1600mhz fsb. I'm going to put a q9550 on it with either ddr2 800 or 1066 memory. My goal is 3.6-3.8ghz, so i guess what im really looking for is a mainstream stable overclocking board. Where i struggle knowing...

    DDR2 Overclocking w/ q9550

    finally upgrading from my s939 fx-55 to the q9550 (can't justify spending so much on the i7) and i have a few questions before i purchase memory. I'm looking at getting 2x2gb (still running xp, might get another 2x2gb when upgrading to vista/windows 7) but im not sure what speed i want to get...

    upgrade time!

    Well i guess the only thing that would stop me from buying an ultra would be, don't you think they will have at least the first round of geforce 9 out by the time nehalem comes out (a little under a year from now, probably)? Also, do you really think spending $300 more for an ultra wouldn't...

    upgrade time!

    @ Jpangelo - a top of the line gfx would fit a new mobo a year from now (i don't see why it shouldn't) the only thing is, if i got say an 8800ultra instead of 8800gt, i would spend $300 more, and probably wouldn't see that much more performance (b/c of my cpu). When i upgrade to nehalem, the...

    How much power will these specs need

    will the hx620 be able to power as much as the gxs700 with one less 12v rail? Also where is your source for those ripples bbq? Reviews for the gxs700 seem quite stable at high loads.

    Sorry bradyapba, i was in the middle of posting when you replied. i loosened the timings, and kept the command rate at 2T, shouldn't that help at all?

    Can't get FSB over 216mhz?!

    Hey guys, Ok, after reviewing everyone's responses (thanks again) i tried a few more tests. The first thing i tried was setting the PCI bus to 33.33mhz and trying again. That time i got a FSB of 220mhz before a BSOD occurred. Then i tried loosening the timings to 3-3-3-6 2T and upping the...

    Can't get FSB over 216mhz?!

    I'm pretty sure that 216mhz is a ridiculously low FSB overclock value. This is what i did: First i set my HT multi to 3x, then i set my cpu multi to 5x, then i set my ram freq to 100mhz (ddr200 speed). As i gradually overclocked my FSB i could only get to 216mhz before my computer rebooted...

    X-Fi xtremegamer fatal1ty vs xtrememusic

    currently on newegg both these cards are on sale XtremeGamer Fatal1ty XtremeMusic both are for a pretty good price with the rebates. I know the fatal1ty has the xram, which would be the main reason for getting it over the music, but from what i've seen some think it's useful, others...
