    wrong ac cord

    yeah, no switch like on my last one. Does that mean that it adjusts automatically? Thanks for helping. I don't want to deal with the whole rma process over a silly 5 dollar cord.

    wrong ac cord

    I just got my mail order ocz 700 watt psu and it came with the euro and brit ac cords.. I live in North America and was wondering if the model will be different or if I can simply use a spare cord that is laying around. Of course it fits into the back but with thos higher Euro volts are the...

    The X800XT in my kids Newark 3.00 Ghz Fragbox gave up the ghost and I ordered an open-box 3850 from the 'egg for $100. The card was too wide for the shuttle case so I mated it up to the Clawhammer rig. He's playing COD5 nearly maxed out on 1600x1200 with decent framerates. Inspired me...

    Turion spacer/shim

    Well that sucks. I see under "contact us" they have a phone number that looks like a California number.. "City of Industry" looks like... Newegg has a warehouse there. Probably one of the biggest industrial parks in the lower 48.

    That is bizzaro world Bigmac, My kv8 would not boot with the my mobile athlon 4000 but it runs my 3700 claw.. Can you set the bios to auto for the clocks and stuff ect? That is just weird. I'm almost certain that board supports 3700 claws.

    well I don't think I could fetch enough cash to justify selling my 754 rigs.. good school pc's for my kids. i thought I would need to upgrade by now, but I can do BF2 and COD4 pretty maxed so... pllphhpt... and Crysis kinda sucked for me so... 754 till the Nehalem vs 45 phenom dust settles at...

    Yeah, that should go well, I see the ML-40 has the bigger L-2 cache so once you stretch it's legs it should have the torque as well as the speed.

    yeah, good stuff. I wish is was in the UK sometimes because they have some fine brew but those taxes... sheesh... Looks like mine is a mobile athlon instead of a Turion. CPU-Z said Newark core if I remember right. No Turions at 2.6 http://angelfall.s39.xrea.com/area2ch/turion-e.html

    I found the cl-p0312 on the big auction site that won't go named. Guy was in Indiana and his build was flawed by the mobo not speaking to his turion. Sold me the hs for like 17$ used for a few hours while it wouldn't boot. He got it from oc uk or some euro site. I never found one retail...

    I put together a turion rig for my 14 year old and it went to 3.0 effortlessly on that exotic (hard to source stateside) hsf. Let us know how it goes.

    Yeesh... AMD is doing a live webcast of the Barcelona release party. Server procs only I see. I have 4 754 procs. Hmm a little inspiration from Intel and some superglue could lead to my own VeniceNewarklawhammeralona. The decent desktops for Barcelona due out in December or when?

    Ok, got this baby a little more stretched out. Set the ram to 166 to take it out of the equation and ramped her up to 223 FSB for 2.901Ghz. Ran stable for BF2 and Systool's little cruncher. Pulled 1.48V and stayed right around 43-45C. PCI/AGP went from 33/66 to 37/74 and the HT link was...

    http://www.tt-itbu.com/product/Embedded/CL-P0312/CL-P0312.htm Just finished a round of Sharki 64(BF2) with the newly booted Turion. Ramped her up to 2.8 without a hiccup and that's with 1.40V It might have pulled some more; POWERNOW! is new to me. Seemed to hold at 40-43C under load. I'm...

    I believe it is for the most part a Sandy spec-wise but to my understanding there is significant differences in the silicon that allow it to be lower watt. It might do it's 2.6 at a lower wattage than a Sandy and that maybe what allows it to turn up to 2.8 or 3.0 fairly easy.. lower power so...

    No hurry here either. My 754's handle BF2, especially the L2 pig Clawhammer. Quake wars is reportedly tailored to not be a machine crusher (24 player maps) and this thread talked about Bioshock/754 playability. Crysis might be troublesome but who knows; the multiplayer side might bite anyways...

    was that one of the boards that had SLI but not official SLI support and Nvidia was peeved at Epox for? or was it "official" SLI. Those are nice boards.. If I remember the layout was good as well. I'll keep an eye out for one of those if they pop up again. Ebay perhaps. Technically 754...

    I'll keep an eye out for one of the DFI's. In the meantime I found that MSI for 24 bucks intown. I'm gonna rig it up for now and see what it'll do then decide if it is worth pushing over to a more enthusiast platform. I was hoping to get it to 2.8 stable and on air then mate up the x1950...

    Hey guys; I'm a 754 loyalist and I guess I found a place to compare notes. I've got 3 754 rigs one with a 3700 claw on a kv8 pro @ 2.6 The other 2 rigs are a 3000 venice on an ECS and a 3400 on a MSI both of those two are on m-atx's with no pci locks or much oc room. Question is; I...
