I have an Asus x1600XT that I would like to check temps on as I overclock it. The Asus program that came with the card requires the Asus drivers (XP) installed to read the temps, but I have the generic ATI Vista Catalyst installed (not particularly stable drivers, by the way, and some glitches).

OK, so now I am living the good life. I redid my overclocking, but this time I raised the mem V before I ever jacked up the CPU Voltage. I was at like ~2200 or so with MemV at 1.95 and core voltage still at stock before I had to increase the CPU voltage. I'm at 2590 (288x9) at 1.5625. I had...

Command rate was already at 2T BIOS already updated. As far as HTT goes, as I understand it, you want the HTT times the multiplier to be as close to 1000 as possible. The memory, I believe, is independent of that. I have been pleased with the stability of the board, but the BIOS could...

Yeah, but it isn't really a "new" core...

So, It pooped out when I cranked the memory seting up to "PC800". Works great at "PC667". Backed off to 244x9 to ensure stability (although no crashes at 246x9).. I never win the overclocking lottery :( I will try going with stock voltage and slowly going up on the FSB now that I know my...

So, I can't properly select a divider, so I just set the memory to DDR2 400 and adjusted the PCI-E setting to Auto. Set the multiplier to 9. Slowly increased the FSB by increments of 4 from 222. It is known stable at 250*8=2,000. Basically I had to slowly increase the voltage to get the...

Thanks. Well, it sounds like I need to try a divider. I'll let you guys know tonight!

To summarize: Windows told him to call to activate. He called and activated. /Thread

'm using it now as my regular OS. Of course I have a fresh system build... Edit: It was too slow for my old 1700+

For anybody who is curious, ntune does not work in Vista. I took my CPU down to 200 Mhz x 9, (default) and then used the included utility to increase FSB slowly, and it hard locked at about 215 or so. Makes me wonder about memory multipliers and whatnot. So I set it to 222 (~2,000) inthe...

Good thought. The Asus OC utility drops a deuce on me every time I try to use it (hard-lock). Let me look for N-tune. Hope it works in Vista.

Well, I bought this AM2 setup. Figured I would get a good mobo, RAM, and PS, and worry about the CPU and graphics in the future (not a huge gamer). ASUS M2N-E AMD Corsair XMS2 2 GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 Dual Channel Kit AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Orleans 2000MHz HT Socket AM2 Processor MSI...

hrm, with the prices and availability of AM2 now, I just don't see why to buy a socket that is getting long in the tooth (939). DDR2 is here, and the prices just aren't that bad in my opinion. I would be suprised if dx10 required DDR2 on the mainboard, but I could be mistaken.

You have some OC potential in that Orleans, so you might enjoy the extra memory bandwith offered by the 800.

I think that $199 is a good value for the 955DF. I ran it before I got my LCD, and it was flat and sharp as can be. You won't probably run your desktop at 1600x1200, so you will only use it for gaming, where the refresh won't bug you as much. If you do use it for your desktop, you can set the...
