Okay. I planed my NB and while I was at it lapped my NB hsf and my Volcano 12 ( I know that shoulda been done ages ago but eh. ) .
So far I haven't noticed any increased stability with my 250x9 OC ( was unstable before and still is atm ) . Gonna change a few more settings arround for the next...
You flame me now its my turn noob.
When it comes to overclocking ram its better to have the warranty and be able to get a replacement than to willingly void the warranty and have it die during an OC. I would never buy ANYTHING from you as you are so fond of voiding warranties. I would be...
For your Price range this would better suite you http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817153023 .
Many people all over use that PSU for 7900GT's, X1800XT's and other power hungry cards ( though its +12v amperage is lacking for Sli ). Plus it has a $10 rebate :eek:
Uhm. Outta curriosity. Why would you want 104gbps memory fillrate when there no chance in hell the GPU can fill it ? 2x the bandwidth you'd need probably 175% more GPU power to make use of it.
( Spokeperson ) OCZ not only looks good but it's good for you. Packed with the latest in Nano nutrients and monohexipeptides, OCZ products give you a refreshed feeling.

I'd like to have one. As many people that talk shit about how they performed almost everyone wants or wanted one baaaad at one point. I still want one.
I think it would be amusing to liquid cool it and see what it might have been capable of. Or maybe just mod the hell out of one and see how...
I'm going to repost this thread becuase ITS NOT A FN COMPARISON THREAD !!!! For those that can "READ" I have a problem here.
I do not need to know what cards is better. I already know that. I do not need to know the power requirements of the cards. I already know that. What I "DO" need to...
I sent an amail to Biostar but I'm currious if any of you know if DDR2 533 will work in a TForce4 AM2 board ? Trying to help a friend build a decent PC but I know squat about the AM2 systems yet. The board says the standard is DDR2 800 but I know standars are just that "standards". You guys know...
Heres a few ideas.
With current gas prices get your hands dirty and port/polish the heads on your car ( $50 kit ) and you'll get more HP, Torque and better MPG.
Pay back a debt you have ( If you think hard enough almost everyone owes someone money, just a matter of time till they come to...
Get a biostar Tforce6100 754 from newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138268 . It's one of the best Pci-E Socket 754 boards you can get. It OC's like you wouldn't believe for a Matx board and in a worst case scenario it has decent onboard video.
Most people with stock HSF's only get those to like 140* F . HSF. Don't worry till it closes on 180. The Palomino's just run hotter. If it scares you that much get a decent copper HSF.
Personally I use 180, 320, 800, 1000 and 1500 grit wet/dry sandpaper from the local hardware store and I always use it wet ( gets the job done faster and improves the finish ).
Guy above me : Yes, I planed the SB ( MCP-T South Bridge chip ) itself. It no longer says MCP-T on it :D
I've suffered no adverse side effects. My optical drive is still registering as well as all of my input devices and my Pci card. My Silicone raid chip handles my drives so thats no...
Abbreviated subject matter at the bottom.
I was just wondering how many people if any are fond of the idea of planeing chipsets ? I got soo sick and tired of the audio issue with my NF7-S 's overheating SB that I put an active cooler on it. . . nothing. After a month of still getting sick and...
I know methods differ for this due to availability of supplies, time and prefferences so what is your method for lapping heatsinks ?My method is 5 pieces of wet/dry sandpaper from a local hardware store. I use all of them wet for best effect. I don't polish as the benefits after I'm done just...
Considering it won't void the warranty can you remove one side of the heat spreaders on the "unknown ram" and give us the markings on the memory chips ?
I have a 1gb set of OCZ Platinum EL Rev 2 PC3200 2-2-2-5 1T @ 200mhz with 4ns chips rated for 250mhz @ 3-3-3-8 1T though it runs 250mhz @ 2.5-3-3-7 1T. Basically you can run anywhere from PC3200 to beyond PC4000 with good timings. I could prob ship this to you for like $130 shipped as newegg...
I'll trade you DOOM 3 in its orriginal jewel case and the discs are in great condition for either HALO, ARCANUM, Pools of Radiance & DarkStone ( I don't need the boxxes as they'll just get tossed anyways, they take up too much space ) or the AVP set ( AVP & AVP II )
