the world is gonna end

damn :p I sold my amd machine and picked up a cheapy D920 setup >_< but I have some high end OCZ DDR2 800 @ 4-3-3-8 and a 975X mobo I'm going to play with :)

goodbye amd :( for now

btw I sold it cuz I wanted $$$ :p

people who are just concerned with extreme overclocking and other synthetic things typically don't run a "normal" memory setup. Instead they'll often just run with one small stick of highly overclockable ram.


Anyway, welcome to the fun realm of intel cpus, eclipse. I've had a lot of fun with my 560J since I got it. 4.0ghz on stock voltage/stock cooler :cool:
 
the x30 series are really good Ocers... the 805 is really sweet too.. However outside of the 6 and 9 series Intels are ovens..

I AM NOT KIDDING.

Right b4 spring and the nice weather came to NY... I left my PC on priming or even idle... WARMEST and actually most comfortable bedroom in the house!! :)

haha, it's more my temp stick of ram, the 2x1gb ballistix is what i'm supposed to be testing out.

that 256mb stick is hella sweet though :p

I said huh because of the choice of wording the guy used, it was lame.
 
Just a hint:

I notice that raising the PCI-E on certain mobos will do a lot more for overclocking than raising the voltage on 65nm chips. My particular 631 does exceptionally well undervolted, but with PCIe punched up as high as possible.

yes that's a good point too. I don't know about 955x or 975x, but on the 945 chipsets bumping the pci-e frequency to ~118mhz gives a lot of extra room on the chipset in terms of fsb speeds. My Abit IL8 wouldn't even post above 224fsb with the pci-e at the default setting, but setting it at 118 makes it run perfect.
