I'm fairly certain it's on there...but I can check. I did have some initial problems with the Abit BIOS not reporting correct temps at all-but they released an updated one that was supposed to fix it. I'll have to look into it.I'd be willing to be that the temp issue is not because of the Freezer 64, but in that its either not seated properly, or more likely, his motherboard is reporting temps wrong. I have my 3600+ at 2.53 at stock volts with one and I only see 43c under load. I didn't see more than 48c with my 3700+ Clawhammer at 2.6, with a few voltage bumps over stock, when I was trying to squeeze more out of it.
I stopped due to temps and the fact that 2.47 was good enough for me. I've seen many people around 2.8-3GHz from my research on the whole wrong temps issue.Uhm, you only have it at 2.47GHz (I've heard it's easy to hit around 3.0GHz on the 3600+, any truth to that?)
Edit: Also, remind me never to buy a Freezer 64 Pro, seeing 52c on a 65nm chip running at only 1.3v is insane. I don't push over 42c on my 90nm chip at 1.6v
There's still hope for us yet, just loaded up the Bioshock demo and it runs perfectly with all settings maxed out. Just make sure you can get your single core up to between 2.4 and 2.6GHz, and you'll be good to go.
Yup, you heard that right, an Unreal-Engine-3 game runs flawlessly on a s754 system...I wonder how long we'll be able to hold on to these, Bioshock performs surprisingly well for a next gen game, which bodes well for all games based on the new Unreal engine

Hey, would you look at that? Page 200 on on a "dead" socket architecture! WOOT!
Not sure what you mean. Page 100's 1st post was dated 01-03-2006 @ 12:45 AM. This thread started on page 1 - not page 100 - therefore we have reached our 200th page. Personally I'm glad people are still posting in here. I get bored reading all the arguing about C2D vs. Barcelona/Phenom, ad nauseum. We talk about what matters in here - helping each other get the most from our systems. This thread is the way the whole forum should operate.
was that one of the boards that had SLI but not official SLI support and Nvidia was peeved at Epox for? or was it "official" SLI. Those are nice boards.. If I remember the layout was good as well. I'll keep an eye out for one of those if they pop up again. Ebay perhaps.
Technically 754 outlived 939 in actual production run I think. AMD was too fast in socket changes..754/939/am2 bam bam bam. IMO thier big mistake was forcing consumers over to AM2 for the better X-2 cpu's at the same time C2D was looking really nice. In my understanding a lower clocked 754 sempy or 3000 athlon will clock better than an AM2 because at those clocks they can't overcome the higher ddr2 memory latency.?? Long live 754.
This is page 100 for me also.
I think it depends on your settings/preferences for the forum.
Still cool either way!!
