I would guess that it's either your memory or a heat issue. What temperature are you getting when you run prime? Also, if you are testing using the prime blend test, see how long it will pass the prime small FFT test which only stress the CPU. You can also try using one stick of the memory at...

I just saw several boxes in Fry's in Palo Alto.

Hi Everyone, When I first set up my system (MSI Neo2, Winnie 3500+, 6800GT, no overclocking) I had a cheapo Thermaltake venus 7+ HSF. My temps were 40-45 idle, 55-58 load (measured via prime95 blend test). The rise in temperature between idle and the prime95 blend test is always about...

Hi, All the reviews I found on line says the VDIMM on Abit AV8 is from 2.5 to 2.8V in 0.05V increments, but my bios (V1.7) skips 2.75V. Is this the case for everyone else?

Hi, has anyone encountered compatibility issues between the PDP PC3200-XBL memory and MSI Neo2 Platinum? I am getting tons of errors during the test 8 of memtest86+ V1.5 if I run this memory at 2-2-2-5-1T @ 200Mhz, 2.6 or 2.7V (which is supposed to be supported). I thought I had bad RAM so...

Okay I just ran memtest; if I test the memory by themselves in slot 1 at 2-2-2-5-1T 200mhz, memtest can successfully run two passes. However, if I run the memory together in slot 1 &2, slot 1&3 (166mhz in this case), or slot 3&4, test 8 fails with with many errors in the first pass. Can...

Hi, I just spent the last three hours looking over the cases on newegg and reading their reviews; so far however, all of the cases with good fans (such as one 120mm rear and one 120mm front) have covers over the drive bays, which I would like to avoid if possible. Could anyone offer some...

My newly built system (MSI neo2 platinum, athlon 64 3500+, PDP 2x513 PC3200-XBL RAM, Leadtek 6800GT) just started having a new problem. Windows gets BSOD while booting if I set my memory to 2-2-2-5 1T at 200mhz, which is not only according to spec, but also used to work very stably. Loosening...

Hi, After replacing my previous awful HSF with a Zelman 7000B AlCu from Fry's, my CPU temp dropped an average of 7 degrees. Now I know the root cause of my temperature problems, I want to get the best HSF for my system, which is of course the Thermalright XP-90. However, i still need to...

Hi Everyone, I am running an athlon 64 3500+ at 2.2ghz, 1.4V (winchester core) on a MSI neo2 platinum board. I got a Thermaltake venus 7+ heatsink & fan mounted using shin etsu thermal grease. Since my current case is poor for cooling (no fans other than the two on the power supply), I am...

BTW, what is the case temperature that you guys are getting?

I just bought the following CPU/motherboard combo from Monarch Computers: Shin-Etsu G675 Thermal Grease MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum official V1.4bios Athlon 64 3500 90nm at 220x11, 1.4Vcore (MBM5 reports 1.36V) Thermaltake AMD K8 Venus 7+ The whole package came assembled so I just installed...
