Hi. I heard that it's not safe to FSB overclock when using SATA hardrives. Is this true? I have an ASUS A8V mobo with a 3000+ Athlon64 which I was hoping to eventually overclock to 2400-2500MHz. I currently have it clocked at 2160MHz (240 x9) with the voltage at 1.456. It's perfectly stable...

I ordered it about a week ago and installed 3000+ Winchester without any problems. Currently Overclocked to 3500+ level, 2.2 GHz. It also came with 1006 but i now have it flashed with 1007 bios

Hi All, Well, I just built my first rig. The current setup is: Asus K8V Deluxe Athlon64 3000+ 90nm Zalman 7000A HS/Fan 120GB Seagate Barracuda 72000RPM IDE 120GB Samsung 7200 RPM IDE NEC 3500A 16x DL-DVD-Burner ATI 9600XT (will replace with NVidia 6600GT when it comes out in AGP...

the only ghosting i notice on my BenQ 951 is at the gamespot site. Their horrid background gives me ghosting headaches.

Ok. I also doubt AT sold out to NuTech. That is besides the point (please look past the sensasionalist title, it's simply a means to get your attention). The point that I was trying to bring up is that the NuTech drive has no redeeming qualities minus it's 6 dollar, (cough), advantage. But month...

I am refining my e-mail to Wes right now. Thanks for posting on the article CH.

Now just for fun. I would like to analyze the articles reasoning for recommending the nutech drive. Here is the relevant excert: "For a few months there, NEC's 2500A was a pretty hot buy for those who wanted a sort of cheap stopgap between today's 8X DVD+/-RW technology and tomorrow's 16X...

Dave. The title is a sensasionalist. I apologies for that. Nevertheless, I'm on my second run with this drive and although it's functioning well. It still is underperforming. Also, in the original review of this burner, it's suggested that AT went out and bought this drive on their own (at least...

Here's my comment on the article: I generally believe that AT does a great job at putting forth excellent recommendations, but there is one recommendation in this article that is simply ridiculuos. I am talking about recommendation of the NuTech DDW-082 burner. This burner has been recommended...

If you concurr that the Nutech drive is a piece of crap, please take the time to post a comment in the mid-range buyers guide article. I would hate for AT to become a sell out industry fanboy site like cnet. I know that is a bit of a stretch, but ya never know.

Hmm, I guess I should. Thanks for the positive feedback

Read speeds are also awful with the Nutech model. It takes 12 minutes to read a dvd movie on to my hard drive. But with my regular old dvd drive it only takes 8 minutes to read the same movie. (Using anydvd/copydvd combo)

Perhaps. But I just find it difficult that anyone could recommend this drive above the NEC 2510A. Just a quick peek at newegg would reveal the popularity of the nec over the nutech model. I guess I am a little upset that I took Anandtech's recommendation and purchased a NuTech DDW-082 burner...

I just finished reading the mid-range buyers guide at Anandtech and I am shocked that they continue to recommend the Nutech DDW-082 burner. Thier argument is that the burner is cheap, but the far superior NEC ND-2510A is only 6 bucks more! Plus, the NEC drive supports Dual Layer burns, whereas...
