    Official Athlon 64 X2 preorder/instock thread...

    I hit DFI street a couple of times a day, myself. And yes, the moderators are getting kinda burnt. I remember around the first of the year, the forum still had a fresh feel to it. Now, it's getting kind of flat. But, it has to be a tough job and they probably should take a break from it and let...

    Monarchjoe I just checked Monarch site and the 3700+ now show 19th of May. It was the 6th of May this morning. Does this mean that the second shipment of 3700+ has been delayed, or that the second shipment is gone already? I checked my preorder status and it still shows at the warehouse.

    A8N-SLI VCore BIOS Modding?

    mofrack No problem. I most certainly am not here to put the hate down on ASUS. I STILL have a box with an ASUS CUSL2 mb that has a PIII 850 o'clocked to 1.2GHz. I use it as a media server for the upstairs bedrooms. I have done nothing but put bigger drives in it for the last four years. Who...

    No current bios allows for more than 1.55vcore on A8N SLI or MSI!

    Kensai Just for info, have you tried your Winchester on the MSI? And, how do you like your ATI mb?

    Not everyone with a Winchester core CPU can get even 2.5 at the 1.5 vcore. 2.7GHz is in the top 1% on all the Overclock databases that are available to peruse on the www. I am glad if you can, but don't be making that statement just because you have one and it gets a good overclock at low...

    Big Bunny As I posted earlier, I did get 180mhz higher (2674 to 2854) by doing a volt mod on my MSI SLI, taking it from 1.53-1.55 to 1.62-1.64 vcore as measured by several software monitors. I do watercool, so only seen 2 degrees C increase in CPU temp. I do the same thing to cars. Buy fast...

    Amen Brother donnelly. testify! After doing the vcore mod, my bitch about the board is done. Should not of had to do it, but so far it's good. I am watercooling the cpu, chipset and both 6800gt's, so I felt comfortable putting the 1.68 volts to it. Still have a DFI coming this week, tho. Too...

    FastEddie and Tanclearas I don't have a problem using hacked bios'. Or doing mods to the hardware. But, I actually do appreciate the info he put in this post. I wouldn't take just one man's word about a problem like this, but this isn't the first time I read it. I will pass on the ASUS unless...

    Tanclearas Well, lucky you. Here you are, overclocking, and then giving guys who are overclocking sh!t. That is a close minded and arrogant attitude. In fact, you sound like a 10 year old. Go play with the rest of the little boys and leave the overclocking to the real men who don't mind...
