I posted a thread in FS/T today to see if anyone had a video card for sale that met my needs. I also replied to a handful of threads with offers to sell, from the past few days. Amongst various PM conversations I was hold, I got one from a guy named ' jthriller '; I asked him some...

I need a second card, so figured I'd see if anyone had an older 6600GT or better they're looking to clear out. I live in Canada, but I promise it won't be more than $3-5 extra to ship to me, it always is. Paypal payment, liquid funds in the account. I'll even consider sale offers of...

I need to bump up a cheap laptop I just purchased (Acer 3623NWXMI Cel-M 1.5 w/ 256mb PC2-4200 DDR2-533mhz). If anyone's done an upgrade and has their older sticks kicking around, PM or email me. It would be paypal - non credit card. Does need to be shipped to canada but I'd pay the...

nvm - bought something locally.

I just don't get it. As per the specs in my sig, I've currently got my Opty 165 at 289x9 and have tried anything from 1.275-1.350v for vcore - and always the same results. Running SP2004 at any priority (1 through 10) will make it a full 12hrs stable without erroring out. But running...

So after having the new Opteron 165 and my new ram (also listed in sig) for just about two weeks now, and having run them at stock (with a few quick checks at 250 HTT and 275 HTT just for kicks) I figured it was time to start throwing curve-balls at the hardware. The CPU and ram were both...

I've recently upgraded my processor and ram, so these are sitting on my desk ready to find a new home. I'll pre-face this by stating that I may not actually be able to ship the items out until mid to late this week (ie; Feb 9th or 10th). I may get lucky and have a break my otherwise hectic...

Finally got my Opteron 165 and PC4000 ram as shown in my sig, so I threw them into my current machine (without needing to reinstall windows I might add, and so far so good) and gave a quick test run. PWM IC was wavering between 36C after a semi-cold boot according to the bios, up to about 44C...

My Opteron 165 arrived today (well, failed delivery with a timestamp according to Purolator exactly SIX MINUTES after I left for work) so tomorrow will be upgrade time. I've read a few reports of instability or screwyness when replacing a single core chip with a dual-core. Is this...

I've got a DFI Ultra-D that I know is prone to PWM heat issues. I've been thinking of a few options to try to cool it, but am hoping to find an effective passive solution. First and foremost - does the PWM IC have a temperature register? Is it in the bios and I've just been glazing over it...

No current need for SLI - and I do have a bookmark for unlocking the SLI capabilities if the need arises. I'm grabbing an Opteron 165 or 170 - depending on what info I get over the next couple of days, but I know that I had some hassles trying to overclock my current A64 3000+ Venice...

I've been doing some digging and am trying to decide what to replace my Artic Cooling Freezer 64 with (the fan is a bit gummed and noisy now, and I figure it's time for a change). Everyone and their dog recommends the SI-120 and the Scythe Ninja - but I've not seen a lot of comparison between...

I posted a thread a while back for some suggestions / info on PC4000 - and the day of reckoning (Feb 1st when my fiscal situation is ready for my purchase) is fast approaching. I've been looking at a variety of ~$300 CDN PC4000 3-4-4-8 / 3-4-3-8 ranged 2x1024mb kits. OCZ, Crucial, Corsair -...

As you can see in my sig, all of my current hardware is running @ stock values. I had a thread going in the OC forum last spring/summer with my trials and tribulations of overclocking the very same hardware in question, and after many months of semi-stable performance I finally got fed up and...

I keep hearing / reading reference to "OTTC" in regards to burn-in / stability tests yet I've not been able to find it. I've been googling all day and have come up with nothing but a few forum postings in another language (german, spanish, russian).

I've been digging around DFI's forums and found this stickied thread. In there, AngryGames & RGone (both DFI employees) seem to state that 1200-1800 HTT is perfectly fine if not recommended. Yet I've been hearing a lot of indication both here and on other forums that you should not under any...

I know this thread really could be placed in the AMD or Motherboard specific forums - but as this pertains directly to overclocking but generalizes the way the parts operate - I figured I'd stick it in here (the Overclocking forum). I've got a variety of questions that have been plaguing me...

My employer is currently working on a billing system transition and with the software came a new provisioning system. We've been having latency and I/O issues for the past 6 weeks or so, and they've been plugging away at the software core trying to solve those issues. I discovered today...

I've read about it on DFI's forums, I've heard about it here and on various other forums - but there seems to be a lot of debate (and a lot of input from unproven voices who, although they may sound knowledgable, can't give more than "a friend of a friend told me") as to whether or not the...

I'm at work and antsy to get home to try out my new ram. I've been digging around looking for possible modifications, flashes, specific tuning or overclocks, etc for the PCI-E video card I purchased found here. I know with my previous card, a Radeon 9800pro, I was lucky enough to have the...

I know I could probably tack this on to the end of my current thread in this forum, or perhaps should put this in the AMD forums instead of the OC forums - but it seems relevant enough to remain here as well as to warrant it's own thread. What if any differences are there between the two...

Is it possible? Is it a bad idea? Should I forget about it already and just keep living with the x9 on my 3000+? I had just thought of it, in reference to past attempts to overclock but wasn't entirely sure if it was even possible anymore.

I'm pretty much a begginer when it comes to overclocking my cpu, and although I've made the attempt before with previous machines - I usually get frustrated and give up leaving it at stock. So I've now got my 3000+ Venice purchase specifically for it's overclockability, and the DFI LanParty...
