At the moment the PC3-720 case draws air from inside the case to cool off the radiator. The problem with this is that it uses stale air that's already heated from the HDDs and motherboard (CPU/Vid are water cooled). Should I take the system apart and swap the fans so they blow air in from the...

Got the X2 3800 today and am very disappointed by the board's lack of vcore options. I basically cannot overclock at all. The board is great, and I'll have to do the vcore mod to do anything above a 200mhz overclock. How lame... I do not recommend this board to any overclocker until ASRock...

Blue is my favorite color.

ASRock arrived today. Had to reinstall windows :( Anyway, mobo is working great, a hell of a lot better than the Asus. OCing is rock solid and memory timings are perfect. It seems the prices of the AMD X2's are dropping almost daily. Think I'll wait a week or so before purchasing, hopefully...

Already bought the ASRock, it'll be here Weds. I hate the Asus board, if I try to overclock it works, and then the next reboot it'll just give me a black screen. There's also no way to keep the memory 1:1. That said, I already have my new NIC card and there has been an increase in performance...

That As Rock seems to have varied reviews, either it works or it doesnt, pretty cheap though.

There's no reason for me to get PCI/E, it's pointless. The video card isn't the bottleneck and SLI is a complete waste of money. I was thinking about getting the MSI Neo F and tossing this board. Thanks though.

Oh, and if it's not worth getting a new CPU, should I ditch this horrid motherboard?

Hola! Como estas? Nihongo ga wakarimasu ka? Right now I have an AMD 64 3500+, it was the first one to come out so it's a NewCastle so it's .13u. I'm having some performance issues with random things, and I'm curious if it's worth it to upgrade to an AMD x2 3800. Here are my specs: Asus...

Yea I have the latest, but no workie. Someone hack the bios so it works for me.

Think I am... piece of crapAsus. Ive tried every timing combination known to mankind and nothing works. Corsair was a big help with this and that, but overall it still doesnt work. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=241143&ps=ho6 that board?

I talked to Asus again and they told me to check this and that, pretty much a generic auto response. I told them that it has absolutely nothing to do with windows and drivers, its a bios/memory issue. I await their reply to that, hopefully it wont be something out of a folder. If anyone else...

I havent read through the whole thread and the search function didnt return anything valid for my queries. Here goes: Ok, I know both of these sticks work and they are fine. I had just used them in my previous setup and they ran flawlessly for a year or so. My problem/issue is this. I can only...

Ive already messed with the vcore, as ive stated, but ill try again i guess...

pack date: 2/5/02 doesnt say the country. I dont think its the CPU, cus im running at 119 FSB right now (1:1) its gotta be the ram, ill just buy some new one this weekend... what kind should i get?
