I think I am late to this party. A repeating reboot, with an AMD system particularly, makes me think of the RAM timings trying to stabilize. Have you tried forcing the memory to the defaulting voltage? Maybe force 1.35 volts and also maybe a lower clock speed. I had one system like this and...

I've had a similar problem one time. It was my parents PC. I built it and it worked fine, no issues at all at my house. Took it to my parents and it would fail within 24 hours. For their computer, I would have to pull out the Video card, and then put it back in. Then it would work for a while...

Ok, figured out Pipatch with everyone's help and a HEX editor. I use WinRAR. It renames the unzipped file automatically. Problem was, it was zipped twice. The second nested archive was never identified as a zip file. I'm a happy camper. After tweaking for the past weak with a new water...

I think I need some help with Super Pi & pipatch. I downloaded the files and ran Super Pi . Then I put the unarchived pipatch file in the directory and ran it again. The results were almost identical. I think I am missing something simple here because both times were only a couple of seconds...

I'm getting to the point where I am thinking about the Vdroop mod myself. Here is the link if you want it. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=50940 For the AS8 mothrboard mod to work right, I hear you have to chant "Hipro5 rocks!" Slacky

It is not the PWM temprature that is holding you back. I think you just might be at the limits of that CPU. I went to water this weekend and my PWM temps shot up again until I put my fan back to blow on them. In each case, I still hit the same overclocking walls with the fan and without. Putting...

I've had the same problem with my Abit AS8 board. Once I hit over 4.0ghz it just really cooks the power coils. I had though it was bleed over from the CPU, but I setup a duct work to vent the hot air from the case and that actually made things worse. Once I put a 80mm fan blowing on them, it...

Watch those temps! I had to do some special duct work on mine but it still runs at around 60's Centragrade at 4.1Ghz with a monster heatsink. I also posted before, once you hit a certain temprature, your CPU will start to slow itself down. There is a new program on the front page of Hardocp.com...

I built one yesterday and posted my results on the A64 OC thread Just now. basically, my results were 10*256 with 4X HT multiplier with Stock+3% for voltage for my A64 3200+ OEM 90nm 939 chip. Slacky

I just checked Monarch's website and they show it as a valid option for the combination you want. I just bought the MSI K8N Neo2 Plat also, it is a very nice board. There is one bug in the BIOS versions though. Don't push <ENTER> on the selection for choosing the HT multiplier. If you do, you...

I just joined the AMD crowd again. Just bought an Athlon 64 and I am happy with it. I went cheep since this won't be my primary PC, but I am very supprise at how it runs for the money. Right now here is the current setup. CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (OEM - 90nm - 939) Heatsink:Thermaltake A1838...

Yes, you missed it. It is on the root of your C: drive. Since it is a small file, I've posted below what the Windows XP Pro file should contain. Be careful though, this is for my hardware setup single drive setup, if you run your multiple drives, your disk, rdisk, or partition could be...

I just tried to disable the thermal throttling through the Motherboard BIOS as suggested by Naplam_Fire. It didn't make any differance on the AS8 motherboard. I think that the BIOS options are for only when the motherboard CPU sensor passes the thermal temprature set in the BIOS, the motherboard...

All, Just wanted to let everyone in on some knowledge I gained this weekend. I have a monkey on my back. I just got an Intel 3.4E LGA775 CPU, it normally runs at 17*200FSB. It is nice, very nice. Tempratures were in the low to mid 50's at peak CPU load. I started pushing it within the...

At first I thought you might be hitting a thermal alert, but you said the sound changes during games. That makes me think that there is a wire rubbing against a fan motor. As the part heats up, the fan control speeds up the blades, that changes the pitch of the sound. Check All fans. Make sure...

I couldn't handle the waiting anymore. I terminated my order, went to Compusa and bought a PNY 6800 GT and easily overclocked it to Ultra speeds. I am most happy. Good luck to those to try who wait it out. You have more endurance than me. Slacky

Just got an email from Gateway about my x800xt. I didn't really understand it so I called. While they said the order is not canceled. The Rep said that they are no longer carrying it and will not carry it in the future. I was willing to give Gateway the benift of the doubt, but now I am...

Check to make sure Motherboard is not shorting with the case. Assemble it on a nonconductive table or floor. Also remove fan and heatsink. Unlock CPU, check for bent pins. Replace CPU and WIGGLE it just a little bit to make sure it seats. Lock it down and assemble the minimum needed to test...
