Seems like more than enough. For your needs I would probably stay off bleeding edge and save some cash. People often have troubles w/SATA when they don't install drivers during OS installation. ...G
Have the non-UL version from the outpost deal running at 238MHz @ 2.8 V w/a 1:1. I have been running for about a month with a 3000+ ClawH on a soltek socket 754 board. This was my first build and I am not that savy around computers but it works for me!...G
Kaad_g,
I will be getting a new HSF in about a week and will let you know. From what I have seen and experienced, a high quality thermal grease will lower CPU temps 3-10C with most being between 3-6C. Currently, with the stock HSF and arctic silver 5 my load temps went from 61C to 58C. Not...
It guess it really depends on what you want from your computer. Will you be happy with a stable and dependable computer that does not have the fastest game support for S754 or S939. Do you need lots of overclocking options? G
Kaadg,
Well seeing that it looks like your assumptions about temp were correct and it seems that prime95 it a little scary at the moment! You mentioned you lifted the HSF. Is this the stock HSF? If so, did you use a 3rd party thermal grease such as artic silver? By partially lifting the...
What are the temp diode names (you can find it when you go to configure in speedfan) that are correlating to those names? I know this would contridict what everest tells you but it looks like temp1=CPU temp, remote= mobo, local=gpu. This may certainly not be the case but it looks logical. If...
My experience with soltek HW monitor has shown wild swings as well (-8C to -214C). If you have updated the BIOS, installed a separate sensor, and use a third party progam (I use Speedfan 4.19)...Then don't worry about the Soltek HW monitor! Good luck...G
Just got off the phone with BFG tech (which was fast and friendly I might add) and they mentioned that both fans should be running and can RMA it if there are issues. So I will ramp up the oc and see if I get any issues :)...Thoughts? thx...G
Aryeh,
$100 is a decent price. It seems they are often $15-30 more. As far as what you want to use it for. It would seem to be enough video power...though I don't know the needs of B of middle Earth. If devine graphics are not your primary concern...you can also turn down some of the most...
I have been meddling around with this card for a week or so. This includes OC'ing, and benchmarking. While I have left my OC'ing to a point that the card doesnt break 61C during benchmarks, both fans never come on. Is this normal?

Megatomic, I a have not made any mods to the board. Other than some slight mods to compoents running at 9x224 and have the DIMM at 2.8v w/ 2-3-2-10, and OC'd the video card some. I am also running T1.2 (I believe it was from September of this year)...G
