Great! So my CPU temp is right where it should be? I still need to consider improving my case airflow though. When i get home i'll touch the heatsink to see if it's hot or not and be sure that it's really at 36C. I might try to OC it this weekend. You say that i can get to 2.4Ghz? Any...

Ok, I managed to download core temp. It reads 36C for my CPU. So i guess it's alright then? Why such a big difference from the mobo temp sensor (50C)? I also tried speefan, and it gets 3 sensor readings: temp 1 is stable at 38C (idle and stressed with SuperPi) temp 2 is at 48C (goes...

Mucker, Here's my Evercool fan: http://www.2cooltek.com/Evercool-92mm-x-25mm-Cooling-Fan-Medium-Speed-p-559.html The airflow is rated at 40CFM. Not the best, i know... I was looking to buy one of those Panaflo, but i just couldnt find then here. I'll probably get one in the US. My...

Mucker, At stock speed my cpu is at 50C (using the motherboard temp sensor), even with the XP90 (maybe because my 90mm fan is crap - evercool - but it was the only 90mm i could find around here). That's the reason for my cautioness. You saying that the mobo temp sensor is not reliable...

Thank you all for the quick replies. So the best option would be: get the 3800 X2 first and more RAM later, right? I might get both while Im in the US, it'll just depend on how things work out there, since i won't be able to buy online. @Mucker: I live in Brazil and it's somewhat hot...

Hello there, I'll be travelling to the US on September and would like to buy an upgrade for my computer. Right now my config is as follow: Epox 9NPA+ Ultra AMD A64 3000 Venice (Thermalright XP90) 1Gig of Corsair Value RAM (512 x 2 on dual channel) Leadtek 6600GT Seagate 120Gb And...

Yep! Me too. Fan is deadly quiet IMHO

I would go with Epox. This is my second epox motherboard (first was a 8kta3+ - i dont upgrade my computer too often). All i can say is that their quality has impressed me. Both boards have been very stable and very easy to setup, specially the 9npa+. I also like their support very much. My...

I second that!. The 9NPA+ is a superb motherboard with unbeatable value!

I built my new system with an Epox 9npa+ and 1Gb Corsair Value RAM (check my sig) last week and so far im loving it. Rock stable, and very fast (still running at stock speeds). Like MadScientist, i also used a XP90 and found a little bit of trouble the get the power connectors in place after...

Hmmm. I didn´t think about that possibility. It makes sense now. Im gonna see if i can tweak my rig a little bit. Thanks for the quick reply, Spilson

Hello, I just built my new machine, as you can see in my sig. I ran a 3dmark045 default test to see if my score was in the same level as everyone else who has a spec similar to mine. Everything is at stock speed. Nothing is tweaked, and the 3dmark test i ran was the default (ie i didnt...
