Another Great Mod Bill :D Slay

The Wormhole

Here's my Vantage score with the VCore at 1.125v and the fans at 100% :D

I like how the pic's of the base came out by using graph paper, a brilliant idea :D It looks like the base is still slightly concave, or am I just getting older? I just fold a business card in half and use it as a washer.

Count me in :D

Comcast Hi-Speed $45.95 Glen St. Mary, Florida 32040 (about 30 miles west of Jacksonville)

Here are my Black Beauties :D

tankguys.com has the D0 stepping back in stock. I just ordered mine with 2 day shipping. It was $319.99 + $20.03 s/h = $340.02

Here are a few pictures of my new case and ever expanding upgrade cycle. It's a Custom Lian-Li A70 by Bill Owen aka MNPCTech.com.

What kind of temps are you getting with that 9800GX2 at idle and load?

Well I read this review and a few others the day before my EVGA 780i upgrade came in. They all said the 780i NB ran hot so I added a few different fans to mine right off the bat. So instead of using the supplied NB fan I attached a fan from a Athlon XP heatsink. And I was surprised that there...

Count me in :-)

I don't need proof or a patent. I don't charge for my advise. I don't post a lot here at HardOCP to have a reputation but I Luv the site. If you have problem with my opinions just do a google search for Slaymate. I'm well Luv'ed and I know it. Edit: I'm the one at HWHell, GamersHell, PCApex and...

Once again, Hello Guy's, you may know me as Slaymate from a few other sites. I luv'ed the review. As always HardOCP rocks :-) I'd like to make a comment or 2 about the CM GeminII. I reviewed this heatsink back in April and my 1st observation was how it was designed to be used with (2) 120mm...

Hi Guy's, some of you may know me as Slaymate from a few other sites :-) I recently received this exact same PS to review for another site (HWHell, part of the GamersHell Network). I can only say I wish I had the test equipment that you guys have, HardOCP rocks :-) I was extremely impressed...

I've gotta agree. Not many Grandma's buy Need For Speed now do they :-) Go SteveRacer Go :-)

I'm using a Scythe Mine without the backplate.

I have my evga 680i running over 450 with no problems so far. And I'm sure I can push it farther :-)

It sounds like a flashed 9500 Pro. Thats exactly how my 9500 Pro was after flashing it. I bought a good Cooler for it and it's still running in my nephew's machine @ 325/300 with RivaTuner.

I don't have a XL model but my PowerColor X800XT oc's to 600 core / 610 memory. I haven't seen many others keep up. This Futuremark link shows my speeds. http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=679708 . I would recommend PowerColor to everyone. I'm more than happy.

For $126.50 you can get a brand new 9800 Pro w/ a 256 bit interface. It's got 3 good reviews and I just bought 1 for a friends update and I rate it excellant also. It can't keep up with my X800XT but it plays all the games well. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102362

1:1 will give you the most memory bandwidth.

For the Celeron I'd get the 865 board, but if I was going to upgrade to a 800 MHz P4 later down the road I go with the 875 as they seem to have a higher stable overclock. With a 2.4C I've tried 2 Abit IS7's and I could go to 3 GHz with the IC7-G I got to 3.2 GHz. I guess it could be luck but I...

I agree the heatsink may not be attached correctly, or the thermal compound is improperly applied or missing. You may also have the CPU fan attached to the wrong power header. If you have another fan from an old unit try it. Just looking it's hard to tell the difference between 100 rpm and 1500...

I'm a big Intel Fan. I love my P4 3.4C @ 4 Ghz. It totally rocks and I'm a multitasking fool. I'm planing on going dual core in the next few months but I'm leaning towards AMD. Not to consider AMD is just !!!!!!ish. I would recommend reading the reviews posted by Kyle a few weeks ago.

Ive got a external USB Floppy I plug in when I need one. It's as stealthy as you can get sitting in a drawer til it's needed.

Actually, I think 5700 is way to low. My P4 3.4 is OC'd to 4 GHz but that won't impact 3DMark 2005 much. My spec's are all simular to yours with the exception of Video Cards. My X800XT scores 6701. ATi maybe a little faster but not a 1000 points.

3DMark 2001 isn't going to stress your card like 3DMark 2005 (newer feature add more heat). I use ATiTool but I don't think it will work for you. I use Prime95 for CPU and Memory stress testing. I would have to finish up with. Use your most demanding game. Play it for 20 minutes (or less) and...

It sounds odd, so here's a odd answer. Maybe the yellow fan wire (speed monitor) is broken, almost broken or a bad solder joint. The fan's power joint could be the same. Just because it's spinning it may not be enough to cool your heatsink.

Well I was just hoping for a few good recommendations. I appreciate the offer but trying to figure out the exact volt/amp use per item is a little more time than I got. Instead I've order a Enermax All In One Noisetaker 600 watt(Dual Rail) Power Supply from NewEgg for $176.98 and a Powercom King...

I've bought $1000's of Dollar's worth of stuff from NewEgg. It's the only place to shop for computer hardware. Besides great shipping (and it's fast) they have the best average everyday prices and there extremely reliable. Of the few items purchased that didn't work they replaced them quickly...

The 875 chipset is gonna cost more. Asus and Abit both make good boards. I don't really know about either particular model but the Firewire is only good if your gonna use it. I've had Firewire for a couple of years now and I've never used it or enabled it in the Bios.
