Try the Gigabyte 880G-UD2H - I used to use it with a 1055T and it is a) cheap and b) has all the features you mention.

Max height for cpu cooler in the v-351 is around 112-115mm. No idea about AMx though, I'm afraid to say. I'm running a Noctua Nhu9b-se on my 1055t at 3.8ghz with decent results. Does AMx support the same mounting system as am2+/am3?

Regarding your drivers - Go to Nvidia's website, to the driver download section, then select the option labelled "beta drivers" or similar, the 260 series should be found in there and, as previously mentioned, they are pretty much rock solid and will be best for your situation. Regarding...

Don't want to jack the thread but I do have some information that might be relevant. My Gtx 480 has consistently produced 16-17k ppd since I got it over a month ago (850/2050 for folding). Also running the smp2 client on my 1055t. It's a hex, but obviously not doing anything near what you...

Card still under warranty? Because there's a 90% chance it's busted. It happens. But - to exclude that unfortunate probability: 1- Update to the latest drivers. 2- Ensure your card's heatsink/fan isn't clogged with dust. Check temps and adjust fan speed if necessary (the 4850s run hot but...

By way of an update, I ended up blowing my first Gigabyte 880g ud2h with a 1055t. It's a cheap little 4+1 phase with no heatsinks on the mosfets but I was still a little surprised. Was doing ~3.8ghz at around the 1.4v mark. This system folds whenever it's not being used to game so it's under...

Thought I'd way in on this issue with my experience so far. Running a 1055tt at 3.85ghz on a cheap, cheap Gigabyte ud2h matx board. It's an 880G chipset I believe. This board has no heatsinks on the mosfets and 2x 4 pin 12v connectors. Have been running it at this speed, with around...

I faced the same dilemma just a little while ago, that is, choice between the nh-u12p and nh-u9b. I discounted the H50 (though i loved the idea) since when you mount the rad at the front it is going to be starved for airflow, as the vents at the bottom and front of the case aren't exactly...

Hi Guys, Been having some trouble with my smp2 setup over the last week. Running an i7 920 at 3.6ghz, 6gb, win 7 x64, gtx 280. The other day I noticed in hfm that ppd on the smp client was reported as 700. Didn't make much sense as cpu load was at 100%. Thought it was a problem with hfm...

This is the EXACT same problem I am having with my new build. OP, did you find a solution?

Gskills are rated at 1.5v - I've tried them everywhere between this and 1.65. Vtt I've kept in line with vid, everywhere between 1.2 and 1.35v. I've never had such problems after having a bios reset before...

Hi guys, and thanks again for the advice. I've run chkdsk and memtest. Memory passes everytime, as does the hd. Last night I disabled everything in the bios that could be causing trouble - onboard lan/audio/ide, eist, turboboost, ht. Tried high voltage, low voltage, auto, everything. No...

Thanks for the clarification re ahci/ide. Superflower is actually the oem for a number of reputable psu companies. I did my research as I was dubious at first. It was not a cheap supply and has 60a on the 12v rails. I double checked with a tt 550w and got same error. At this stage I think...

I'm having a few problems with my newly acquired system and was hoping that someone here might be able to help me come up with a solution.+System contains an i7 d0, 3x2gb Gskill NQ PC12800 ram (9-9-9-24), a DFI Lanparty T3H6 mini atx motherboard, noctua nhu9b se cooler, gtx 280 and a couple of...

I ended up getting the noctua nhu9b-se as the h50 wasn't in stock where I live (brisbane, au). I'm aiming for a 3.8-4ghz oc at around 1.3v loading no more than 85 degrees c. Didn't have too much trouble dremelling out the optical bay for the psu cables, and some superglue will solve the...

Hi guys, My build is complete except for CPU cooler. I'm tossing up between the Noctua Uh9b-se, the Noctua C12P and the Corsair H50. I'll be running an i7 920 @ 4ghz and 2 gtx 280s in SLI. It will be a hot little box. I was initially tempted by the H50 but looking at the design at the...

Thanks for the replies guys- Winhyun - I hadn't given much thought to the issue of the H50's airflow through the front of the case - it's a good point. In the main v-350 thread I had seen a couple of people using 1x120 or 2x120 rads at the front of their case. Won't be any use forking out for...

Hi All, I'm seeking some advice on a SFF build I plan on completing in the next week or so. I will be using the system for a mixture of productivity work, gaming, ripping / encoding of SD/HD movies and folding. I will be using the system with a 24", 1920x1200 monitor, which I have already...

A few thoughts on your proposed build- 1. As others have observed, those 60mm Deltas will be mighty loud and, due to their size, don't really add much to the case's airflow. The 60mm fans which come with the Lanbox are equally rubbish at shifting air but are dead quiet - I would stick with...

Typing this right now on a 9550 @ 4.025ghz on 1.29v (load) on a Lanparty P45 Jr. 4ghz without a worry in the world!

Many thanks Zero for your help. Fixed it!

Hi there, Until very recently I had been folding on both my cpu and GTX 260. For the CPU I was using the SMP MPICH client, as I am running Win 7 x64. Everything had been troublefree with that installation. However, after I changed graphics card and cpu (gtx 260>4850, q6600>q9550) folding...

Well, got the Q9550, new motherboard and some G-skill 1066's installed last night. All I can say so far is that the upgrade from the Q6600 G0 was absolutely worthwhile, despite my previous concerns. My old Q6600 was a low vid 1.2v version, which I usually kept clocked at 3.6ghz (9x400) on...

Hi there, In two days I'll be putting together a very similar system using the LP P45 Jr, a Q9550 E0, 6GB of G-skill PC-8500 and a 4890. Will all be going into a lanbox lite. Will update this thread with my oc results shortly.

Hi there, thanks for your quick response. I'll be using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 build. It's valid through to March 2009 so I'll keep using it until then. What kind of problems would I be likely to experience if the kits use different ICs? Seems this is starting to get more complicated...

Hi all, I recently purchased a 2x1gb set of G-Skill F2 8500 DDRII off ebay (were basically free). I was wondering that if I purchased the matching 2x2GB kit, whether I would be able to run all 6gb in dual channel mode on my p45 lanparty jr motherboard? The kits are same voltages/timings...

Do also consider the AXP-140 and Scythe Mini Ninja. Both are proven solutions for quad cores in the Lanbox Lite.

Depending on your motherboard, your best choices are (validated and confirmed to fit, ranked in my preference): -Scythe Ninja Mini (running one on my LL right now, Q6600 @3.6, JUST fits) -Thermaltake AXP-140 (watch out if you're using memory with large (tall) heatsinks or running on a...

I had similar problems with my MSI 4850. First time I installed it I ran 3dmark 2006 and noticed some artifacts on the last two graphics tests - no overclocking at this time. I thought it may have been some kind of driver problem or an issue with my windows installation, but tried replacing...

Agreed. This thing came out years and years ago - no heatpipes, has a copper core but really has no place on a modern quad. That said, I'd say you have another issue here as idling at 64 on a stock Q8200 is unusual even for a blueorb. I would suggest that you have either a) applied thermal...

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1377614 Judging by this thread I'm pretty sure it will fit. I've also read a bunch of other forum threads where users have the same combo so I'm 99% sure it's compatible. Which case are you using it in? You mention that you only have ~6mm of spare...

Running 'winver' on x64 build 7057 tells me mine's due to expire 02/03/2010. Pretty nifty.

Just thought I'd give my 2c on this one... Wouldn't have bother with Win7 but for a catastrophic virus attack on my Vista installation (AVG problems+temporarily disabled firewall=monumental stupidity). Anyway, I tracked down the recently released 7057 x64 beta and installed it on a fresh...

You have yourself a decent chip there, 1.2125 will get you a long way. With low vid chips like this you'll find yourself with a fair bit more overclocking headroom than someone with, say, a 1.3v vid. At the moment I'm running at 3.4ghz on a g0 1.2v vid. It's being cooled by a Scythe Ninja...

I'd say you'll probably be out out of luck, at least with the AXP-140. In the two configurations you can install it in, it hangs over either the whole northbridge and at least 1 of the slots, or in the other config it covers all of the slots. If you want to fill all the ram slots with this...

1. I'm running the patriots at the moment on my Q6600 @ 3.4ghz (8 x 425mhz) on the Lanparty p45 jr. They've been running faultlessly on the 333/800 divider at about 1020 something, I believe, at 2.2v. I would recommend. 2. W/c you ram? As [H]ard as that is it's fairly common knowledge that...

+1 on Extremetech hate. Hasn't been worth a read in at least 12 months now. The best PSU orientation will depend on your hsf setup and rear fan setup. If you're using a 'blow-down' type cooler you'll be best off with it faced upwards since it won't fight your HSF for cool air. If you have a...

PSU grill is unfortunately part of the casing itself. It's an 'adequate' PSU, a TT 550w which has served me well thus far. I've found that facing it so the fan exhausts air from the top of the case does wonders for case ventilation and temperatures. A lot of people choose to invert the PSU...

By my measurements I had 110mm of clearance for the heatsink. Also, if you note the design of the PSU bracket by itself it wastes about another 10mm due to the way it mounts the PSU. At the moment I'm coming up with a more elegant solution which involves folding down certain parts of the PSU...
