So the cycle is: Get in bios --> up fsb --> run Prime95 --> crash --> get into bios --> Lower fsb --> run prime 95 Get in bios --> up fsb --> run Prime95 --> stable --> get into bios --> increase fsb --> run prime 95 Repeat until system is at it's highest stable fsb? How much do u think my...

From all i've learned so far. To OC, you increase the fsb and your CPU multiplier (if you can). Where the fsb x CPU multipler is the speed your comp runs at. But increasing the fsb increases the amount of heat the cpu produces and without adequate cooling, the rig will crash. Also, the better...

Using the theory that buttered toast always falls buttered side down and cats always land on their feet, you superglue a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat, buttered side up and drop the thing, it should spin faster and faster at an expodential rate until it reaches a appreciable...

Today, i used the program Sandra for the first time and i checked my temps. My board temp was 63 degrees Celcius and my CPU temp was 42 degrees celcius and my room is roughly around 21 degrees celcius, PSU was also about that temp. My comp is running at stock speeds. I opened it up today and...

But it's too damn expensive :( It's like HK$850, which i would have to end up spending HK$1700 on ram, takes me out to around $8000 for the whole system. I wont be OCing the system straight off, i think i might be doing that when i find my comp lacking. So i thought the corsair ram was good...

What's that? Ive never seen it. I live in Hong Kong, so i cant really order it from those websites. It'll cost me a hellava lot of cash for shipping over here. The cheapest stick of DDR400, 512mb ram is at HK$578, which is US$74.10 by some weird company I've never heard of called ACE. Edit...

Im building a new system and im tossing up on ram. Is expensive ram really worth it? Im going to be using an Asus P4P800 mobo with a intel 2.4C processor with 2 sticks of DDR400 512mb ram. How much would i be able to overclock it up to stably using stock cooling? If i used Samsung Ram, how...

u can OC well with the stock heatsink. I think of OCing as a way to extent ur PC's life. If you get pissed with your ancient computer cuz it's just too slow, then OC it and you wont be pissed nemore, for a while. Reccomended for those who are too lazy to buy a new system.

a 7 min video at 200 megs? hell that's way too much IMO. Is he just messing with u? Changing the file extension...

Ok, thx guys, he just lost his last bit of credibility.

my idiot friend started ranting on about how the 9800np is stable when OCed while the 5800 isnt and the 5800 is for someone who dosnt OC. Is this true, or is BS flying out of his ass again?

sorry, idiot friend was BSing all the way. Forget this stupid thread

But evidence points towards FX5800ultra as being better. A friend also says that he could OC a 5800ultra to 2x it's speed. He might be BSing, but who knows... He seemed to really like the FX5800ultra produced by Asus Aside from noise levels, why is the 9800np better?
