    Ga-k8n51gmf-9 (onboard 6100 Gpu) User Notes

    I got this board about 2 weeks ago. Got AMD X2 3800+ with 6600GT & a PCI wireless card. 2 x 160Gb Samsung SATA drive in RAID 0. I got it to overclock to 230Mhz frontside bus and ran dual prime95 stable for 6 hours. Ran Memtest and was stable. (2 gigs of ram) But when I run 3d games...

    Asus intros 32X nForce 4 SLI boards

    on another note, I hope this m/b has HD audio like Azalia.. that would make it pretty much perfect.

    Asus intros 32X nForce 4 SLI boards

    I could be wrong but I believe SLI x16 chipset is actually two Nforce4 chipsets, like the nforce server chipset configuration. Or it's using original Nforce4 chipset with 430 southbridge chipset which either way, should give it theoretical 8 SATA 2 ports possible. If I am right, you should be...

    X2 3800+

    I got mine up to 2.3Ghz stable with 2 instances of prime95 for about 5 hours at default vcore with just bumping front side bus. When I bump it up to 2.4 ghz, the computer crashs in windows at default vcore. Vegeto456, what m/b are you using and what idle/load temp are you getting with artic...

    Temp on X2 3800+

    if I don't overclock, if I remember correctly, idle was at 46c and load was around 65c or so... but I didn't burn test it with dual prime 95 instances like I am right now... I didn't raise the vcore so I'm thinkin it's probably about the same...

    Temp on X2 3800+

    thanks guys for the tips. When I get home, I'll give it a try. But I'm pretty sure that heatsink is on correctly, as the copper base of the heatsink was pretty hot when I was testing the computer out.

    Temp on X2 3800+

    So I'm guessing 74c is a little too hot for X2 CPU?

    Temp on X2 3800+

    Guitar Daddy, Do I touch the copper base part or the aluminum blade part or both?

    Temp on X2 3800+

    Been a long time Northwood user and couple of days ago, took the plunge and purchased a X2 3800+, my first AMD CPU. I put the system together and have successfully overclocked it to 2.3 Ghz and everything runs rock solid. However, the temp reading I am getting is quite alarming. From my...
