    Your operating temps

    Paulip, Thanks for your reply. It made good sense, definately. With all the talk of 30s or low 40s, I was getting jealous. :-) btw, I voted for you per your sig. Camille was a cutie, for a CS major. And MikeW, Thanks for your input. I loved your thread on the faults of the Anandtech...

    Your operating temps

    Good, I was going to ask this question myself, my un-overclocked Tbird 900 with SuperOrb seems cool to the touch, but my motherboard (Asus A7V) registers the temp at around 48C with the side off under full load. I even used Arctic Silver, but I think I may have done something wrong, given the...

    Possible to change multiplier with Asus A7v?

    Nice quality board I have to say. I can't find any way to change the multiplier in Bios. Is there a way to do it, or is it just jumpers, or some other way? Never OCd before, it feels like I am getting something for free.. :) -WC-

    TBird 900 & Asus A7V MB: do I need to unlock to overclock?

    Or can I just use the bios to OC? Sorry if it is a dumb question, I am new at this stuff... If unlocking is needed to OC, is there a good URL that points to a good walkthru for doing it? -WC-

    Newbie needs advice on how to convert stock fan to super orb

    nice, thanks. That does help. I am looking for some info on cleaning up the old, as well as putting on the new. I got the new part with this last website. Never did he mention the thermal grease, except that AMD doesn't recommend it. Weird.. -WC-

    Newbie needs advice on how to convert stock fan to super orb

    I just got my Asus A7V & TBird 900, and TCcomputers.com installed a cruddy little low power fan when they burned it in. I have a Super Orb and some Arctic Silver, anxious to get it setup. I have a few questions: 1) I guess I first have to clean off the gunk that is on the CPU. I took a...

    Super Orb flaw?

    Hey all, just got my Super Orb in the mail for my TBird and it's sweet looking. My only issue with it is base of it doesn't look like I imagined it would. I thought the whole bottom base would be perfectly flat, but there is actually a wide circle in the center of the base that is just a...
