Love your socket 754?

eh, get an easy job. i could easily make $200 in a week when i was lifeguarding part time at a ymca (never again :p), about 3-4 hours a day, 6 days a week ;)
 
or get a hard job, i made 700 a week working in a lab (never again) :D

Do the math.. 700x8weeks = new computer plus some change

700x52weeks = Early retirement!
 
im still running my a64 754 til weds

3000+ cg @2.65ghz 10X265
1024mb pc5000 ram
ati radeon x800xt (pro vivo flash)
dual 300gb wds



but weds im trying the new dual sata asrock board with an x2 3800 and id i can sell my old setup, which is for sale those looking for a steal on a fast 754 proc.... (wink), then i will be running a7800 gtx and my x2
 
My price tolerance puts the dtr 3000+ claw as the only upgrade for me then. I'd probably get a bit lower core clock than my Sempy but get 4x the L2....for $40 or so extra if I sold this chip. Too bad newegg is out of stock.

A cheap newark would be nicer though.

Agreed. A 3000+ Newark would definately be fun...but don't forget about the Turions. ;)

sempron 2800+!

too bad i don't think we'll ever see the newarks at normal retail stores :(
it's been over 5 months since the newark started showing up.. one would think this would be plenty of time ;)
 
I just happened upon this and thought I should post it here. Many of you may already know of this, or maybe some other manufacturer has even already come out with it, but, when I was visiting the website to look up something about my board, I saw this in the news: http://www.epox.com.tw/eng/news_content.php?serno=50 Apparently EPoX is making a 754 board with SLi. Don't know if any of you even need SLi, but, well, have fun those who do.
 
Forgive the dumb question, but there is so much spam in this thread as it is......


The default HTT speed for my (and I think all) 754 board is 800. Should my target range (when adjusting the HTT multi) be 800 or 1000?

Incorrect. :p 800MHz is stock, but NForce3 can hold 1000MHz LDT fine, just don't go much higher.

Can, and always will are two different things =D I'm talking safe and in spec, with your advice he could set it to 900 and his system be unstable for unknown reasons to him... Best we don't make assumptions on how hardware OCs :cool:

I posted on this a while back when it was first announced and have been following it up since then. Putting epox ep8nsli in yahoo or google will net you some info on it including a review.
Heres the rub. They sent the reviewer a motherboard that included a bridge connector for the 2 cards being sli'd but in the production version they specifically state that they do not include a bridge chip because nVidia's new drivers allow for sli without the bridge chip. Well, after further research, it turns out that "un-bridged" sli does indeed work but the performance is noticeably less than a fully bridged sli system. The good news is that the board performs just as well as 939 systems also using "un-bridged" sli. Also, they have eliminated the sli selector card by making both physical pci-x 16x slots run at 8x full time. On one hand thats convenient but if you bought this motherboard and only ran one card thinking it was sitting in a full pci-e 16x lane you'd be mistaken. Since the current cards aren't using that much bandwidth, it's not an issue but could be one later. I am this close to buying one of these motherboards if I can find a bridge connector that would work and I know their already available in Japan so they should make their way here pretty soon.
Anybody know of a generic sli bridge connector? They are all electrically identical but physically dissimilar because no 2 motherboard makers place the pci-e 16x slots the same distance apart. I have seen pictures of an sli bridge connector made from ribbon cable which is perfect because it could be used with any sli board. I searched Epox's site looking for the opportunity to buy a replacement for their 939 board thinking the layouts look identical to each other (hey, what if you break one) but no luck.
Any thoughts?

@ Ewiz.com Unless people say that this is not a good e-tailer. I've been looking at an upgrade (so to speak), actually, another proccie for my shuttle and my budget is ~ $150.

I've been watching them for months. They've been going down steadily for the past month. Last week they were at $183 and I didnt bite. I'm gonna have to pull the trigger on this one.

also, its too late, someone posted in Hot deals. But its s754 and the attitude is "If its not s939 x2 it Sucks!" applies there :rolleyes:
 
Heh, I sent a "Price Alert" to them for $155. Mebbie they're trying to blow these puppies out. Might get lucky, might not.
 
Where you click and put in the "Price you want to buy it at" and if it ever comes down to that level, they email you. I was hoping that a few price alerts might sway them into lowering it a few more dollars to get me to buy ;)

It probably wont work, but its just an email....
 
That is an astonishing price for that processor. Heck, that's about what I sold my abused 3400+ for a month or two ago to a local friend. Prices sure have dropped like a brick, and for the money you can't beat the performance.

Awesome! That's $22 cheaper than the price I got on Ebay two weeks ago. My 3700+ is purring along in OCCT at 2.76 GHz so far with 1.825V on water. If OCCT is still running when I get home from work I think I'm going to make a run at 2.8. My CPU seems to get along with the NF4X I installed last night.

wow that's ALOT of V :eek:
 
Wow, over two weeks and no replies. All of you 754's can't be THAT quiet. :eek: Although, I've started folding for the [H]orde, so I recommend all of you 754'ers look into it and give it a shot. I also recommend using tsuehpsyde as the username. ;)

Full Folding Ahead!

 
754 is a fine platform for the price.

My little brother is going ultra budget on a new rig so I had him get a 2800+ Sempron64 and a NF4X Infinity. I know he'll be able to do 2.4GHz at a minimum, hoping for 2.6!

I took a 3100+ to 2.7 on that board, he should be good to go.

I'm more worried about the board making it to 337 than the cpu making it to 2.7

If you need help with it, let me know. It has a different bios from the Lanparties (waaay different)

I managed to get a pretty good HTT out of it. The nF3 Lanparty seemed to hit higher HTT's though (I got like 430MHz HTT out of mine)
