Yes, my sentiments match yours exactly. I'll probably take my current machine and either find a new home for it or put it to use as a file server or the like. Upgrading is somewhat daunting with all the current choices but I'll be doing research for the next month or so to see what best fits...

You guys are going to laugh but I am still running my AMD Opteron 146 @ 3 Ghz (stock was 2Ghz).. I built this machine in early 2006 and the processor was the best bang for the buck at the time. I am finally thinking of upgrading (4 years later) to an i7 but honestly old processors are fine for...

I love my 146, best OC I have had to date. 2.0 -> 2.97 stable..on air.... crazy.

Looks like I am prime stable with the with the 146 @ 2700 with 1.4 vcore. So far so good.. we'll see how high this puppy can go. What have your experiences been with the 146? /edit Temps are pretty good too.. so far highest I have seen is 41C with the Big Typhoon HSF.

After more thinking and a bit more researching I went with the opty. Hopefully I am not stuck with a dud.

I do realize that they are essentially the same processor however the 3700+ has a higher default multiplier. I guess I am leaing towards the 3700+ as I can always lower the multiplier while OC'ing. Anything else to keep in mind?

Both are the same price @ newegg but I am planning on overclocking, would the opteron suit me better in that regard or is it really a crapshoot? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103598 vs http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103539 Thanks...

Not to crap on your thread man but silicon doesn't "break in". You can test for stability using prime but your processor is not "stretching it's legs" perse.. I don't think that you'll gain any additional overclocking head room by running it at high voltages / speeds.

I don't believe that there is anything running when windows goes into standby mode. My guess is that somehow the address in memory where speed fan is reading the temp from is getting corrupted or isn't being read properly. When you reboot and you immediately go into the bios does it show the...

It's strange that the 2005fpw has this problem but the 2405fpw doesn't. My 2405 has absolutly no backlight bleeding..

... This is common with all trinitron monitors. Perhaps a little research would have helped.
