go for it i got a celeron 2.66 to around 3.4 ghz with a crappy heatsink and crappy thermal paste (crappy temps too) but it was stable and no throttling (its only a celeron after all) so who cares if its hot!
i love my stock heatsnk i have the 3.0e and right now its overclocked to 3.46 @ 230fsb im so proud of it :) best thing about it? the fan still stays at the min. rpms unless im gaming.. its set to keep my proc. below 50c so i know that im under that nearly 100% of the time... i can get it to max...
buying new is for no0bs... why do you buy the latest pc parts? because they are better in every way than the previous part you have right? whens the last time auto technology took a leap of even 10% ? buy a used bmw or something .. you can get a 325 for 19,995 buy it now on ebay 27,000 miles if...
thanks for the help i need s478 cuz i have one already and im not keen on spending more $$ then i have too no reason to upgrade perfectly good 3.0e presscott... specially when im running 3.46 with stock cooler and novoltage adjustments... <-- bragging :)
i have it narrowed down to:
this or this
my main question is.. does anyone know about the overclockability of these two boards..
or does anyone have a better suggestion for me?
i think a good pair of scissor would make the cleanest cut..
or you could bunch them up they are very flexible.. and then dremel a few at a time.. think of it like a hair cut :)
i installed a water cooler made by them i thought it was great. it came with everything needed for only $100 including water block for cpu and gpu plenty of high quality abeit narrow tubing 2 radiators.. etc all fits in a 5.25 bay cept the second radiator :-p
i have an asrock board.. i originally set the timings as the sticker said 2.5-3-3-6 then found out one of the sticks is only rated for 2.5-4-4-8.. despite the sticker.. and then on top of that the ram is only rated 2.5-3-3-6 for single channel operation.. anyways it works better at the new...
not my worst per see sp.. whatever.. anyways anyone besides me tried to solder without using flux? i finally used some and i was like HOLY ^^$&%&#%@ this is easy :)
worst would be buying a motherboard with an agp slot and no agp support(865gv by asrock)... ie. it runs in pci mode... fix still...
i have geil value series 2x512mb i ran memtestx86 and it showed errors on a bunch of tests should rma this stuff? i've been getting errors while playing games.. it will crash to desktop after just a few minutes....
you can resize everything in the display part of control panel and i say the smaller the better! its under appearances if you use xp then you'll have go to the "classic" look i think? anyways it isnt a problem you cant work around
ide cables with master and slave devices can be cut :) so they only have 2 total connections... i did this with my micro atx case just this morning works just like normal
ide cable ---> }-------{----{
^cut here
mines about 4 inches ive seen some that...
you can do like i did and break off the tab when youre furious at the pc... then it'll never shut! btw if you press in just the right place it isnt too bad... hate that case
well i built a xaser III sytem and i intend to give you guys my review of it..
its friggin gigantic (i have a micro case)
its super heavy
the front panel is awesome really high quality anodized aluminum ill say its around 3mm at its thinnest to 6 at its thickest.. its very strong ps the...
active cooling = a fan attached to the ram
passive cooling = aluminum "heat spreaders"
when using that high of voltage.. lol yeah i think the fan might be a good idea
you can buy kits in a couple places..
people need to quit talking about how hard it is to apply... anyone who passed kindergarten and knows the basics of using elmers glue can use ANY thermal paste... and do it right... artci siler even has instructions on their webpage...... it most definately is'nt rocket science.. so their is no...
it wont hurt it a bit i set up 2 system exactly like you described just be careful when you plug it in im pretty sure it'll only go on one way (at least easily) :)
right, but the point was that this isnt true --->
for that star maybe but in my book it says that 98% of the universe is made up expressly of hydrogen and helium
ok for the record im 17...
fusion is putting together 2 small atoms hydrogen = h /helium = he
h+h=he simple as that
fission is breaking apart one large into 1 less large and one small
i dont feel like finding the actual "formula" for this
but it stands to reason that you can get many...
"Geologists have long suspected that the seafloor is dotted with deposits of a slushy mix of methane and water, but the Resolution?s crew was the first to measure how much is actually there. The amount is stunning. Along Blake Ridge alone, 250 miles off South Carolina, are 35 billion tons of...
seems like there was an article in discover a few months back about some ludicris amount of solid methane of some sort underneath the oceans they were hauling it up and setting it on fire so i imagine it could be used for power.. and best of all it is produced by bacteria so it would be...
well to me 40gb is monstrous especially for only mp3 storage and especially especially for a young kid.. does he have the 650 cds that he'd need to fill it? after my calculations... 250mp3s = 1gb thats 10,000 songs!! and hard drives are fragile! one drop and i would imagine it would be stone...
if you dont mind opening you psu.. you can do what i did.. cut off any connectors you arent using.. (leave a lil extra)and stuff the extra inside for later just in case you need it..
sodler you connector back on
INSTANT MODULAR MODULATION!

and as far as i can tell they dont even have a website..
which leads me to believe that its not of great quality....
not to...
im just concerned(i may want to upgrade later and im highly attached to this case).. and yes it is a micro atx case.. and yes my linking skills do suck
one site rated the proc at 96watts and the geforce at 65watts... i'll try and fix the link i didnt mention my 2x512mb of pc32000 ram
and i...
ok, i bought a case from liteon enclosure its the tm203b (if you care to look http://www.loeusa.com/great case.. super case! its micro atx... but the power supply that came with it is only 250 watts..
on top of that it is neither atx or m-atx standard.. how nice.. it does work like an atx...
hhmm i perciate it. i "could" handle only two monitors..
im using a geforce fx5200 so that will be my next upgrade anyways...
but firstly.. i need %^$&ing agp support
i bought a 865gv like an idiot.. it has an.. agp slot... or at least it looks like it.. the manufacturer (asrock) describes it as a "gift" and would you believe this.. it runs my graphics card in pci mode! awesome! therefore i need a new motherboard.. fast!
