Thanks a lot for your replies. Turns out that it's not quite long enough, which is too bad, because I do think it's an attractive case, but my radiator is 20 inches long. |||synthtax|||

Yeah, it's for watercooling. I'm hoping that my rad will fit up there, but the rad is VERY BIG. No local stores carry it, so I was hoping on the kindness of someone out there who might have the case to measure it for me. Obviously, some people are just idiots. If anyone out there does have...

The dimensions of the case as reported by other websites, make it seem large enough, but there's one dimension I need to know for sure before I get the case, to make sure it's long enough. Could someone who has this case please measure the top of it, as in the pic, and let me know how much...

What do you mean? Do you mean put my finger on the HSF for the NB? I can, but it doesn't feel that hot, but I don't know how well it conducts heat, the thing feels like plastic. Is there some other way I can test to see if it's the NB? Thanks, lllsynthtaxlll

Alright, here's the situation. I'm constantly having problems running games, it seems no matter what I do, they always crash. Overclocked or not, so I decided to just get EVERYTHING to stock, and run 3DMark05, even after a fresh Windows XP install, and it crashes after about 10-15 seconds in...

Kckazdude, Excellent, thanks. That's all I needed to hear. lllsynthtaxlll

What more information do you want? The Zalman would be nice if I didn't want to overclock, but I definately do. And now I'm getting stability issues even when at stock speeds, but only when running graphic intensive programs, which leads me to believe that maybe the NB is at fault, so I...

I want better cooling to because I overclock. How loud is the ICEBERQ4? Does it cool well? Thanks, lllsynthtaxlll

Basically, the title says it all. My NB fan sounds like it's starting to crap out on me, so I think the Vantec Iceberq4 would be a nice way to go: The CCB-A4C @ http://www.vantecusa.com/product-cooling.html Would you recommend anything else? Thanks, lllsynthtaxlll

Hey, I was wondering if there's a way to have the display automatically rotate when you physically pivot the monitor. The only way I know of on my setup how to rotate the display is in the Radeon settings. Having it do it automatically would be pretty swanky. Thanks, lllsynthtaxlll

MikeP, lol. How true. Anyway, I'm gonna play with the BIOSes and see where it gets me. This summer I'm either gonna upgrade to A64 or start watercooling, if I have a really good summer, I might be able to do both ;), but we'll have to wait and see. Either way, I hope I get a chance to use...

centvalny, yes, but after reading my first post, I would hope they see I was just asking for help. I understand that people need interesting subjects to get attention, and it doesn't offend me if they're post is reasonable. I of course expected some negativeness, because people will always do...

Oh my god. Are you fucking people done insulting me or what? After seeing what these sticks could do, and hearing how great the NF7-S v2 could overclock, I expected to get a FSB a bit higher than 212 stable (all i can get so far). Excuse me for not doing enough research into it, but there...

Such is life. It's true. You live, you learn. The only reason I got so upset was because of the extra money spent, as a student, it's worth more than gold to me. If that makes sense. Anyway, I've decided I'll dabble with modded BIOSes after exams are done. I'll be posting in the...

I'm not going to mod my motherboard. I'm sure if I did I could push the RAM farther, but I've dabbled with softmodding and using hacked BIOSes before, and I don't have the money or time right now in case something goes wrong. I need a stable, working system until the end of the month, then I...

diredesire, I know about dividers, Intel and AMD, I know about Volt modding and using modified BIOSes; I've been overclocking for years and nothing you said to me in that long post was news. 230 at 2-2-2-11 is completely out of the questions for my system. Most if not all the reviews I read...

c00z, I very carefully explained that I'm upset that it's the motherboard/AXP system that's holding me back. I understand it's not OCZ, and I was very sure it was not my sticks. I also explained why I was fairly sure that I would get good results, even though I weren't using an Intel board...

Thanks, I will try and take solace in that. How did you know that they test mostly on those chipsets? lllsynthtaxlll

So I tried 230 at 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 with all sorts of different timings, and was able to get into windows ONCE, but then it crashed. It does seem that 2.7 is more stable than higher voltages at certain timings, and sometimes looser timings seem less stable than the tighter ones, so basically I...

I'm not sure where you got the impression that I was able to POST at 240, I wasn't. So far the top I can get is 225 @ 2.9V w 2.5-3-2-6 I'm gonna try to see what I can do at 2.7. Do you have any tips on which latencies are the most important to keep low, and which ones I can play with...

centvalny, That's pretty impressive what you're running it, but I'm pretty sure A64 would have a much better overclock than AXP. Hopefully when I upgrade to A64, I'll still be able to use this RAM. What RAM are you using? Are you saying that if I have TCCD, I should try working at a...

Well, thanks for all your help, but I'm just p*ssed that I spent the extra $$ on this RAM, and was basically mislead. I knew that there was a chance since all the reviews were on Intel that I wouldn't get as good an overclock, but not like this, this is ridiculous. I could have saved a lot of...

So what's with the DFI boards that make them so great at overclocking? I really thought the NF7-S was the one to get for overclocking, but I never looked into the DFI boards, and I already spent to much money on what I did get. Well, I might take off the heatspreaders tonight to check and...

No, most of the reviews were on Intel systems. You're saying that the ones I got are different from the ones that were reviewed. So how come my RAM will actually work at 220 FSB with 2-2-2-5, but above that and it's like hitting a brick wall. Where can I read more about this TCCD 431, 432...

That doesn't really mean anything when others are getting great results at 2.85V. In fact, all the reviews I read (that I remember) never pushed the voltage above 2.9 and got those great speeds, so what is the relevance of you telling me that they only shine after 3.1? lllsynthtaxlll

Seriously, After reading over a dozen reviews, all able to push this RAM really far with great timings, I decided it was worth the extra money (which I don't have) to get them. But for some reason, they won't OC. One reviewer was able to get them to 263 @ 2.85V w 2.5-3-3-6 Another was...

I know based on the subject, it might be obvious what to go with: The one with more cache! But here's my real worry: I've heard everywhere that Seagate is the best, most reliable, and what to go with. I believe it. But these new 16MB Cache drives by Maxtor everyone says are THE BEST 7200...

What results in the best performance? Keeping the timings low and running the fastest FSB based on low timings. or Finding the fastest FSB at whatever timings are stable. This question is in relation to an Athlon XP system, not A64. Thanks, lllsynthtaxlll

Do you think the Corsair 3200XL 2-2-2-5 will run with those timings at around 220 FSB on an ABit NF7-S v2.0? Do you think it can go higher? Does raising the voltage allow the timings to stay low as you increase the FSB? Should I get the OCZ EL Plat Rev. 2 instead, or are they basically on...

Alright, I'm putting together a system, based on an ABit NF7-S v2.0 and an Athlon XP-M 2500+ Barton, and I'm looking for a good pair of overclockable Dual Channel RAM that's the best deal for the $$$$. So, in my search, I've come across all those things I mentioned in the subject. There...

Well, after getting one of those great XP 1700+, [AXDA1700DLT3C, JIUHB] I'm looking to upgrade, and the only way for me is to O.C.! Before I go out and get one, I want to be sure I'm getting a good one, so let me know what steppings and overclocks (with what platform & cooling) you were able...
