Hey what r peoples thoughts on the new 900 series from Intel? - i've heard of a few OC's on the net, i think some guy got his 920 from 2.8-4GHz per core, and it is claimed it had higher performance than a A64 X2 clocked at about 2.6GHz per core.

I know this may sound like a bit of a quick n' dirty way, but its probably easier to fix it just by reinstalling windows with the cpu running at the level of OC you want it at - there by avoiding what appears to be appareant corruption of the OS from the OC, which is obivously causing windows to...

Yes & No! - You see having your ram running at 173 as u stated will of course be slower than running at 200, however in my opinion they great to use because it means u can run your HTT at a much higher setting without causing your ram to become unstable, and anyways if u run your HTT at 240...

Its the ram thats stopping u, clear and simple! 1:1 ratios in most cases just don't cut it most of the time - I'll say to u what i say to most people who are new to OC'n read this thread, and also read the other thread in this forum "First time OC'er, have some questions".

I would say leave the rest of the system as set with 5:6 for the ram, and just focus on upping the HTT/FSB as far as it can go in amounts 5-10MHz, or if u want u can consider lowering the cpu multi and raising HTT even higher - just remember if possible at the first sign of unstableness, before...

well, if your that hardcore then why haven't u went and gotten yourself a cheapass watercooling kit for the cpu, i take it your using sktA and do remember there being quite a few cheap kits for that skt.

Well my suggestion are for best OC: cpu: AMD Opteron 146 2.0GHz 1MB 64/32-Bit skt939(Retail Box-w-Fan) = $215 from MonarchComputers mobo: DFI Lanparty UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert =$185.99 again from MonarchComputers total: $400 Edit: You should be able to get that to about 2.8GHz, if u...

Unless i'm mistaken u cannot unlock the cpu multi on any amd cpus with the exception of the FX series - and if the mobo appears to allow u to raise it, the multi will actually remain locked at its max setting.

You may find this link a bit informative as well http://fab51.com/cpu/guide/opn-64-e.html , also at the bottom of the page, there are some additional linkage with more info regarding the skt754,939 & 940.

Yeah, sorry i'm so used to using DFI boards that i kind of forget - so yes LDT = Hyper Transport (and 1.20v is default voltage).

Yeah - so far you've done well there Orr, i would think raising vcore by another 0.5v and setting HTT to 235 (2.58GHz core), and also don't forget to make sure u raise LDT voltage by 0.5v (if u haven't already) to maintain chipset stability as you increase the HTT. Edit: One more thing in...

6200 TC =crap (pci-e), 6600LE(pci-e) - 6600(agp/pci-e) - 6600 GT(agp/pci-e), 6800LE(agp/pci-e) - 6800XT(pci-e) - 6800GS/GT(agp/pci-e) - 6800 Ultra(agp/pci-e), 7800 GS (agp) - 7800 GT(pci-e) - 7800 GTX(pci-e), soon to be 7900 GT, 7900 GTX (both pci-e). Out of those the best in terms of price...

Well it kind of depends on the quality of the ram u purchased, however from experiance i would say it can be anywhere from fsb 210mhz (i.e. 420mhz ram) to fsb 230mhz (460mhz ram). Edit: Don't worry about asking too many questions, thats the whole point of this place - keep asking, i know how...

Ok read this then - http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvidia_geforce_6800_gs_performance/default.asp - the main reasons are its performance is the same as a stock 6800 GT and it has 256MB of 256-bit memory and supports shaders 3.0 - also have u considering getting an Opty 146 instead of that...

P.S.- If need advice for a new skt939, i would recommend the Abit KN8 Ultra for $76.99 after rebate (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127222), and here's the link to the 6800 GS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130271) $154 after rebate.
