I'm looking at getting an Antec NeoPower 480 for my rig. I haven't found my answer after a few searches on the forums although I'm sure it's been brought up before. MSi K8N Neo2 Plat has a 20 pin connector and the Neo supplies a 24 pin and a 24 to 20 pin relay. I know this will work, but...

I've never used a shuttle but I have a feeling others would agree with me if I have my facts straight. Venice/San Diego cores have a smaller default vcore and therefore should run cooler than the Winchester core. So probably those would be your best bet. Winchester at the absolute worst I...

Yeah, 9x for 3000+ I'm pretty sure. I don't think the multi changed from the Winchesters. Is it the same in the bios? Or on the my computer properties does it say its running at 2.2 ghz as well? Maybe you lucked out /shrug

I actually got an xp120 for $42 not too long ago. I would say find an xp90 for $25 or so. With shipping and fan will probably be around $40.

Eclipse has a great guide out there somewhere that may help you find your max overclock. I would first try setting your cpu multi down to 5x and see how high you can get the htt on board to post. That will be the highest your htt can be. Then you can start raising the multi till you find your...

I would suggest the Neo2 Plat if you can't wait for the DFI. I will be switching to DFI when the new board comes out probably. The DFI will be more of a challenge to setup than the MSI. I have gotten my board to post at 300 htt and I've heard of others able to post higher. The problem I'm...

How are Intel duel cores compairing to Athlon X2's?

Unfortunately the last company I remember trying to work itself out in the cpu market was Cyrix...maybe theres been others but you don't see them around any more. I'm still trying to figure out what I think about this. In terms of the gamers point of view I would love it. Think of what...

Interesting. Single short beep normally comes to signify that the computer has posted. I do know that this happened with an older laptop I had from work. There was a specific button to change from LCD/Monitor/Laptop display. This may be the reasoning behind using the insert button Eclipse?

Hmm, let's see... Intake 80 x 3 1 front, 2 side Exhaust 120 x 1 Rear CPU 120 x 1 Video/Chipset 60 x 1 gpu 40 x 1 chipset PSU 80 x 4 (yes, stupid and LOUD AS HELL) Total: 11

My guess is that you will have the same problem as with the XP-120. There is a "capacitor in the way" that makes the XP-120 "incompatible." All any one has had to do is slightly bend the cap a little bit(it really didn't have to move much for me) to the side and the XP-120 fit. Then again...

Glad you like it! I have the same board and love it to death. By the way, what are you running your memory at right now? I was thinking of getting some new memory...either cruciel or twinmos maybe /shrug

I would assume all will support the X2. They may need a bios upgrade but should support it.

Yay paper launch and pre-ordering on Monarch :rolleyes: I just hope I can scrounge up the $$$ for one of these CPU's sometime soon.

My understanding is because the A64's have the memory controller on the CPU that running memory dividers will not affect performance as much as it would have on Athlon XP or Intel chips. If you can crank the mhz out of the cpu with a divider running on the memory that's probably your best bet.
