Get the aqua extreme 50z from cooltechnica.com, Cathar seems to think it is about the best pump out and frankly he know more than all of us. It is great because if you need more flow you can do a 13.8 volt mod wich will give you considerably more flow.
People have been having problems with the latest batches of MSIs myself included as I have one in RMa right now. I replaced it with a epox9nda3+ and my overclock went up almost 100mhz and at .1 volt lower than my max over clock on the msi. The epox board is cheaper as well. Wait a few weeks...
Go with the 50z, from cooltechnica.com, I have it and could not be happier. Now i am waiting on my g5 storm that i ordered but that will prolly be atleast 2 months lol. I think I am going to get a Lian Li pc-v1000 and redo the whole setup with a bix 2.
I have the silverstone tj06 which is the same case and it works well my ambient stays around 27c . You will need longer atx conectors as most power supplys will not reach the motherboard.
My MSI K8N neo 2 platinum fried two of its ram slots so instead of waiting on an RMA on a mother board I was not to happy with i went with an Epox 9nda3+. The only drivers i have installed are the invidia drivers and since the chipsets are both nforce three do i need to reformat the harddrive...
Go with niether, I just bought a 3500 and wish I bought a 3000 or a 3200. I can only get my 3500 to clock to around 2530ghz and almost all of the 3000 or 3200 do the same. 939 is likely the chip style the dual cores will come out on so i would stay away from the 3400. If you are not going to...
I wish I went with the EPOX board rather that neo platinum 2 (hard to get stable to me). I wish i went with a 3200 instead of a 3500 as i probably could have overclocked to exactly where i am at right now and saved 50-60 dollars. Make sure you go with a good power supply like an OCZ modsream...
WInchester 3500
HTT: 250
CPU multi: 10
HT: 4
RAM: 1:1 2-2-2-8 @3.4 volts going to push for 260 in a few days, it is still burning in.
VCore: 1.5 + 5.5% (CPUZ says 1.55 volts)
I will be shooting for 2.6 but I think i will set up water cooling first.
29C idle 42-52C load.
If I put an aftermarket cooler on and the card fried I would send it back lol. Your logic is flawed because a properly installed cooler designed for the right card is not going to cause a graphics card to fail. I would put the stock heat sink on and get a replacement. It is kind of like when...
He is right, I had the same problem, the motherboard manual acts like for dual channel you need the ram in one and three wich does not work. Put them in one and 2 the two slots closest to the cpu it will work as dual channel then i promise. I had mine set up exactly like yours and switching...
Put your sata hardrive conections to sata spot three and 4 on that mother board i was having a hard time overclocking and when i did that everything worked fine.
Have you overclocked your processor? If you have not? Then something isnt right. If you have what is your HTT (FSB)? If your HTT is at 200 you should be able to run your memory on auto at 200. Leave it on auto and see what cpuz says defaults are. Have you raised the voltage on your memory...
Your 3dmark score are right on par with where they need to be. I have a winchester 3500 and stock with a 6800gt clocked at 420 and 1100 I got 4813. I think i finaly found my best overclock today so i will do a bench today. I really need to get the ocz voltage booster. overclock
I just moved mine to sata slots 3 and 4 and mine is overclocking pretty good. I was prime stable 2.498.5 ghz witha 9.5 multiplier. I had it at 2.6 and it was running 3dmark05 allday long no problems. I could not get it to prime though. Cs_source ran fine. Right now i have it set at 2.486...
Thats what i was wondering. I could find the option anywhwere to lower the mhz on pci. I did a google search and one forum said to lower pci to 33mhz. So I dunno. By the way the mother board is a msi k8n neo 2 platinum.
I can not get windows to recognize my motherboards sound device after overclocking. The device is turned on in bios and all drivers are current. what do i need to do?
I am a little confused on how to reflash bios. Some people are saying that these neo 2 boards aerent stable on the 1.41 bios and to go to the 1.36 bios. How do i find out what version I have and how do i flash it. The direction i read where a little bit confuseing
Mine are in one anad 3, that is probably it. I read somethingt about prime not working write on some of the winnies. But i ran it for 12 hours stock as part of the burn in. So i dont know but i figure it is pretty stable if i can get 3dmark05 to run for like 10 times.
yeah cause i did mem test at 1:1 and it need ed more volts. It made it to 70% without errors. I thought most people whee getting 2.6- 2.7 ghz. Any idea why i can get prime to work. I am on my tenth 3dmark05 and still no errors.
Her is my setup on my rig i put together this weekend.
MSiI NEO 2 platinum
3500 WINCHESTER
2xOCZ Voltage extreme max 3.5 volts.
BFG 6800 GT.
OCZ Modsteme 430 watt power supply.
I am haveing trouble getting prime to run. At my current clock i got all the way through 3dmark05 no...
I began overclocking today and i had a crash and now when i turn on my computer nothing comes up not even the bios screen. I unplugged the cables from the motherboard and iturned the power off wich i thought would turn everything to normal. What do i need to do?
If you are going to spend that much I would get this. I bought mine at frys as they where the cheapest. Here is a thread about them. OCZ PC-3200 Gold VX already boasts 2-3-3 timings, but at 3.2 volts the memory is capable of blistering timings of 2-2-2...
