OC is very good but... Remember about good chipset cooling. When FSB goes high, north chip is very hot too. Look for my sig for actual OC status.

Ok. For now (until change PSU) I leave 2400 MHz (10x240). And (thats the best info) at stock voltage - 1.35V). Cores temps are <53 and CPU case <48 after 6h of Orthos (23C ambient). About high temps in eariler settings. I have Q-FAN options enablet at 51C. So the FAN was working at 900RPM -...

myocardia! Please read my sig and earilier posts... I'm not use AMD heat sink and you read about it and reply earilier! PSU is/was not cheap. I agree - its not well known mark but it a good PSU. In spite of this it is too weak for X2 and I have it for three years so it is overworked a little...

Hello again. After few hours of testing I switch FSB to 240MHz (10x240MHz)... Almost 5h with Orthos and it is stable. I have to do 12h test. But I have a question. My vcore is 1.40. And temps are: ambient: 23C, CPU Case: 49C, Core 1: 56-59!, Core 2: 51-53. Are these temps ok? Core 1 is crazy...

Yo! 75 (90 in teoretical too) degree are maybe safe for GPU but... I thing you should to change heatsink with something quiet and more eficient. Look for my sig - my GPU has max 63 C (very hot days -> 28 C room) in stress (1 hour in Real Time HDR IBL - best soft for cook the GPU) / 46...

I recived reply from Asus. It's probably a voltage regulation chip damage. :-( Only solution is RMA...

Hello! I need some advice form you. I have a mobo (in the sig) and I always use Q-Fan feature. Recently I was doing a lot of inside the computer and something goes wrong (I supose). I put the FAN into CFAN1 (hot plug / ups...) and computer turned off. I started it and I everyting was working...

One small advice for OC. Remember about others components of the PC. If CPU+MOBO+RAM works great don't foget about GPU! I run tests like in guide but after that I start Real Time HDR IBL (and pirme/orthos simultaneously) to stress GPU - to achieve max temps - then the in-case ambient are...

I have Manchester (E4), 10x220. HeatPower is the same for toledo and manchester - it's 89W. What cooler have you got? My idle temps are 36-37 (ambient like above - about 27C) but CPU FAN goes only 500-600RPM... Maybe I should turn one of the 120mm fan to flow air on the CPU heatsink but I...

Thanks for so fast replies. First I have to say I know a lot about AMD OC. My A64 3200 Venice knew about it a lot too... :-) But I haven't got experience with dualcore and that's why I'm asking you about it... :-) Procedure of OC is the same for single and duar-core I supose... But I...

I had Zalman NB47 and it wors ok but it is to high! Now I have Termalright HR05 SLI. Termalrtight way of montage is not too stable so I used screws and now it works great. It can moves a little but you can't get better with only two pins. Examlpe of montage witch I used...

Hi! I put "new" CPU (X2 3800 S939 Manchaster) to my rig recently and have a question. I want to OC and don't know what voltage for CPU to use... Everyone are talking about stock voltage (AMD says that is 1.30-1.35). Now I have 10% OC (10x220) and everything under 1.35V is not stable?! Is it...

Hello! I have a question, I couldn't find it earlier. Where is that bloody motherboard temperature sensor on A8N? Anyone found it? And small advice about NB cooling. I have A8N SLI Deluxe since march 2005. I replaced original noisy cooler (after 3 months of usage) with Zalman NB47...
