    F'd up my brand new X2-3800

    Hmm.. so you reckon, if i contact AMD directly, they will take it, even now, even after the 2 pins have broken off? Even though, i am also in australia?

    How do you suggest, cleaning the old thermal paste off of it?

    Stressing My X2 3800+

    Buddy, i would recommend, making sure your memory speeds are timings come all the way down... try a mem speed of 1/2, and set it to like 3-3-3-8 on a 2t comand rate.. and make sure your memory is running at something like 2.6volts. then try and bump up the speed in graduals.. I found my...

    Seriously... AS5 stupid? I've put together countless computers over the years.. i mean, like a good 10yr period here easy.. I've had every problem, and i've always worked it out, one way or another, but the thing is, i like to think i know what i'm doing... Putting a cpu in, is an...

    Hey man, seriously, big thanks.. I'm in Australia, though, and this is really my only machine, so i'm thinking there would be quite a wait on shipping to and from... but if i can't get anywhere.. i'll just take it on ther chin, and send it off... big thanks

    Well to be quite true, the cpu came to me, with what i am almost convinced was 2 bent pins... I bent them back, and decided to give it a go, worked no probs.. then i went and took out the cpu to clean it (prep for AS5) and noticed a pin was missing... I packed it up all in the...

    Thanks for the advice guys..... for the records though, i took the cpu out, so i could give it a good clean, take off all the old thermal pad crap... it actually dropped about 5degree's with the as5 on it... but regardless, the cpu was ok.. it was just how i sat it down in the packaging, when i...

    OKies.. so i've been messing a bit with my cpu, and i took it out again today to put some AS5 on it, and as i'm cleaning the heatsink, i've rested the cpu on the fabric + plastic casing that the cpu actually comes in (the one inside the box) anyhoo, as i pick up the cpu, I find 2 pins have...

    Weak memory controler on X2 3800

    OK well thanks for the advice guys... I just wanted to make a point, that the "quick and dirty" overclocking method, really doesn't apply here, as the highest cpu speed, will not even come close to allowing you to run your memory at it's highest possible speed, because the on-die memory...

    Weak memory controler on X2 3800

    Yeah, I screwed up.. Meant to read: 220Mhz@ 2.5-3-2-5 -2T or 132.5MHZ@ 2-3-2-5 -1T

    Do you know what we're talking about here? My whole point, was that I have tested the ram ok at (233LL) at lower CPU speeds without any problems. But as CPU speed increases the ram must run slower in order to accomidate for the faster CPU. Also, I never said it was 2,2,2,6, it was 2,3,2,2.

    That was a type and meant to be 3. I have no idea what you meant by, "he other timings which would 6, its board specific about which it likes" are you implying the the other timings are all up to the boardboard and the ram and cpu have no effect on them?

    lol... thanks for that very helpful and informative reply :) hehe.. until i read your post i didn't understand what duvie meant when he said: "Week?? Weak!!!" lol.. i completly overlooked it, even though he pointed it out as well.. i thought he meant like "Weak weak??!!!" (being...

    Weak memory controler on X2 3800

    Well that was pretty much my point... i was trying to get at.. when you start to stress the chip, it's memory controller starts to stutter and give problems... I.E. Even if your memory can do 300 at 2-2-2-2 1t 1:1 or whatever, if the chip is near it's limit, it will not be possible. And I...
