Hi people, I wiped my stable as you can get it win98SE and installed XP PRO. There was a hangup in the install and I think that was where the system was confused. Multiple installs later (fresh not upgrades) the system still comes up without my HP burner or Creative DVD-ROM. Devices show...

Ain't that the truth. :D Cheers, Joe

Hi People, Quick one... 1G blue core 1G Tbird, runs at load at 30 C at default clock. Does this sound like a good candidate for OC. 1.2G hardly seemed worth it but 1.4 as a possibility does get my attention. Cheers, Joe

Don't use too much force to catch that clip!!!! Use 2 screwdrivers (carefully), one to push the spring down and the other to keep it pushed out so that it will slip under the socket clip. Patience......, with care it will slip on easily but don't push down hard, you're just not catching the...

People, After making the mistake of installing all 25MB of the SB Live 'software', my system refuses to boot up beyond the cursor and wallpaper. It also takes at least 5 minutes to get to that nonfunctioning point. I can not find a remove for the SB Liveware in win98SE add/remove programs. Does...

Bad Luck, If I told you the number of times I made a voltage jumper adjustment on my board and disconnected the cpu fan and forgot to reconnect it!!! I have a blue core 1G as well and it wants to run real hot. Were you at 52C without any load? I hate to think that you have to supercool these...

Independant of core color, isn't there a designation in the serial nmber that pinpoints Dresden or Austin? Cheers, Joe

Usul, Thought of doing that myself good suggestion. I'm always taking the HS off and mucking around. Can't seem to leave well enough alone. Oh well... Cheers Joe

Experiment a bit. You may have some additional headroom for speed vs temp Sounds like something fun to play with. Good Luck Cheers, Joe BTW My Duron 650@650 rus at 1.6 and stays in the 37C range, my 1G T-Bird runs at 1.75 and likes to settle around 55C. Go figure, someone out there must have...

It would be pretty nasty if they didn't work off the socket A boards considering their price. Hey, no sense to create worries. Cheers, Joe

I run a 1G at 1.75 and it will climb to the mid 50's C. I wouldn't say it's alarm time but you may want to check the whole cooler system, good thermal contact, up to spec fan speed, maybe think about a larger HS that pushes more heat off the sink. My first try would be good thermal contact. Good...

People, Does it make sense to even try adjusting the FSB with PC100 CAS 2 memory. I was thinking that I may have some leeway and that it would have to be tested. Is it worth it to try? Cheers, Joe

Got my 1G T-Bird to boot as slick as can be into windows, thanks to the help I got here. Thanks all. I hope I will be able to return in kind over time. :D Cheers Joe

It's definitely blue but I seem to remember somethig posted about the ID on the chip, anyway, any thoughts on the core voltage prob? Cheers, Joe:confused:

I know I've seen this posted but I'm hoping someone can come up with a link or something that would confirm a Dresden Fab. This is low priority and on the paranoid side of my problem but would be useful info. Also does anyone have a suggestion how I can bump the 1.75 core volts if I've got a...
