Good idea! Couldn't boot @ 2-2-2-5 or 2-2-2-6 @ 2.8v. I'll try 2-2-2-5 and 6 @ 2.9v after the HS shows up.Quote:

yep, that's the way these chips are. at 2.45 i can boot up, surf the web, run sandra, but as soon as i start a game or 3dmark, it locks.Quote:

Hey guys, I am thinking about coming out of retirement cause these new cards got me so excited. What do you guys think I should pick up for a MB and CPU? I am seriously thinking about switching to AMD :eek:
buying right now or waiting for x800? if you wait, i'm thinking A64 3400 and Shuttle AN51R will be the combo to beat.... if you can wait for 939 then that will obviously be faster. or if you want to have to buy new RAM too you could go for an FX53 940 and an Asus SK8V with some Registered CH5. that would definately be fast as i've seen an FX53 at 3.3 ghz now.Quote:

I'm thinking the 800XT and I don't really want to mess around with an AMD FX. I think the A64 3400 is looking really sweet to me. Thing is I am going to have to lay some serious cash out to retool my cooling to for AMD. I should be able to use my stuff on the VC without problems though.
sounds like you should be set for the NF3 250 then. i just wouldn't get a 150 now because you'll only have to half as many mods on the 250, and being limited to 1.7v on the CPU right now sucks.Quote:

What kind of cooling do you have? I thought you sold off your wcing stuff -- I know alot of it can be converted for A64 use.
I still have both of my swiftech waterblocks, a pump, rad and res. I have enough to run 1 loop, but would end up picking up another pump and rad so I could run 2 loops like before. I would also need to pick up another meanwell.
But like I said, none of those blocks would work on an AMD:(
OS-Wiz, I can't update your score coz I can't get to the site to update the score, guess we've gotta wait for good old Vert to handle this.:)
All this talk of upgrading's got me excited too, I'm waiting for Socket 939, x800XT/6800U and PCI-Express to hit the scene before making a move. No FX53 for me coz of the ram - darn fricking expensive!:eek: - but I have seen a pic of a mobo with AGP, PCI-Exp (16x), etc :
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/edi...express_2.html
BTW, guys, nobody's clarified this yet - Would two setups, with exactly the same specs, except for the fact that one is AGP 8x and the other's PCI-Exp, end up with similar score? Or would the PCI-Exp version score higher? :confused:
No problem updating my score. About AGP vs PCI-Express, I would think its still vidcard dependent as, if my research is anywhere near correct, even the newer 420 and 6800's can't even exploit 8x yet. So I'd think we're at least one more generation away from needing PCI-Express vidcard-wise.Quote:

Sorry guys. I renewed the domain with a new company and paid for it. But apparently I did it 5 days before the domain was going to expire so they canceled my order. Now I have to register the domain again with my original registrar. Don't worry, the site is still there, it's just a DNS problem.
I'll resolve it promptly.:)
Thanks Vert.....knew you'd be on top of it.;) :D
Thanks Vert; need my Louisville Slugger to help speed things up :D Those folks can be pretty thick headed! :eek: I'm still fighting with folks to get my website proxy setup after 3 months! :eek:Quote:

Yeah, I've been in registrar hell with this. Looks like it should be back up shortly.Quote:
