    Delta 7000rpm fan overloaded my onboard fan connector?

    I've just installed a new heatsink with a Delta 7000rpm fan for less than a week... Last nite I turned on my PC and the monitor screen was blank.. the usual high pitch screaming noice was gone! I immediately opened up the cover and found out that the Delta fan was "dead"!! While trying to...

    SOYO SY-7VCA Overclocking....I need more Voltage!!! How??

    Thanks for the input! :) I'm not complaining...just trying to get some answers and abit of a venting space... hehe :) Well, the +10% Vcore adjustment is clearly a limitation of the 7VCA. I've browsed through several forums and from what I've gathered, many 7VCA/2 owners cannot push their CPU...

    SOYO SY-7VCA Overclocking....I need more Voltage!!! How??

    I have a Celeron 633 CCO stepping 1.7V default. My mobo, a SOYO SY-7VCA allows voltage adjustment in the range of +1.5%, +3.5%, +5.0%, +7.5%, +9.0%, and +10%. With the default voltage at 1.7V, the highest I can get with the +10% is 1.84V! Duh!! :( I was trying to do 950(9.5x100)@1.84V and it...

    VIA Apollo Pro 133A and AGP/PCI bus ratio

    Hi there, Is there any way to change the AGP/PCI bus ratio in the VIA Apollo Pro 133A based mobo? I'm using 83Mhz FSB and my AGP and PCI bus are running at 83Mhz and 41Mhz respectively, according to WCPUID. There's no options in the BIOS to set the ratio and everything is automatically set...

    What is the temp of ur o/c Celeron 466?

    Thanks for the feedback Andy! :) I'm aware that the Celeron 466 tops out at around 600Mhz, and I'm more than happy that I can push it to 581Mhz! Just a bit curious though, since it can runs just fine at 581 with 2.0V, I thought I can push it a bit more by raising the core voltage. :) Bout the...

    What is the temp of ur o/c Celeron 466?

    My Celeron 466 o/c 581(7x83) running at 2.05V core voltage. My AGP bus and PCI bus are running at 84Mhz and 42Mhz respectively...I was a bit concerned but things seem OK so far. I've tried 595(7x85) with different core voltage setting, a mere 14Mhz more but it won't even post... The 630(7x90)...

    Advice needed on System cooling and CPU temp

    Thanks for the advice!! I'll give it a try! :) Yeah...I guess my system temp is a little high, it's quite warm to touch at the side facing down the CPU socket. But my room temp is damn hot especially in day time, and I think it worsen the situation. :( I've tried leaving the case open but...

    Advice needed on System cooling and CPU temp

    Hi there, My CPU is a Celeron 466 o/c 582 using 2.05V core voltage. The room temperature here is a constant 30+ degree C, perhaps a drop of 1-2 degree at night. According to the onboard sensor, my CPU temp is around 36-38C when idle, 42-44C on full load. The system temp is around 37-40C. Is...

    ABIT VL6 , a stable motherboard?? needs feedback :)

    Hey guys, I was considering the ABIT VL6 but couldn't find any reviews on the board over the net. Can anyone give me some feedback on the VL6?I'm mainly concern about it's stability, as I will be doing some overclocking. :) The stability of the Slot 1 version VA6 seems aweful according to the...
