    OCing on Gigabyte EP45-UD3P Mobo & C2Q Q9550

    I am just upgrading from a MSI K8N Neo4 NForce4 939pin mobo & AMD Athlon 4200 CPU @ 2.5ghz. I searched on Anandtech for P45 Mobos and found that EP45-U3DP was given the Gold award so I purchased it. It seems overclocking is trickier on the Core2 Cpu and P45 chipset ( I can imagine an X58 &...

    VMware ESX Desktop Hardware Compatibllity?

    Has anyone tried to use VMWare ESX 3.5 on desktop chipsets like Intel P35, X38,X48 or Nvidia 600 or 700 series? I want to learn how to use Infrastructure 3 on Desktop hardware? I can't afford a server just to study vmware.

    Chaintech VNF4 Ultra Users " Getting good overclcoks?"

    I agree with MajorPayne and would RMA in a second just for the sound problem, which may or may not have anything to do with your oc'ing problem. Then I would test your cpu in somebody elses compatible rig, even if its a Nvidia nforce3 or VIA K8T800. Also don't forget the memory. Bring it with...

    What Monitor SW for NF4 (Specifically MSI Neo4 Plat)

    The thing is that Core Center seems to undo volatage settings for memory and cpu I set in Bios/Core Cell. Core Center doesn't show what I set in Bios and it shouldn't change them. I installed Mother Board Monitor. I loaded it once b4 I reloaded OS and it had settings for most mobos except...

    What Monitor SW for NF4 (Specifically MSI Neo4 Plat)

    Trying to monitor and log results on my MSI Neo4 Platinum. Seems Prime95 fails when CPU reach certain Temps. Another problem is Corecenter seems to be overriding my settings set in Bios/CoreCell. Tried NTune and got a PCI Lock warning. What are you using? FSB 260Mhz HTT 4X CPU 2.6Ghz...

    *** Official MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (nForce4 Ultra chipset) Thread ***

    Oops, just wanted to know what if anyone used the MSI Corecenter software or the Nvidia Ntune? I'm having a problem I believe with Core Center setting the Memory, CPU Voltages back to what it is set in Core Center than what is set in Core Cell on the Bios. It's fustrating that I can record...

    MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra

    You rock Kindest! Thanx for posting your core bios settings. I upped the voltage on the NB (northbridge) to 1.65 as you mentioned. Crashed on Prime95 then upped the mem voltage to 2.8v. Ran Prime95 for 2.5 hours without a hiccup while I was using Firefox, Outlook and Gaim. My settings are...

    Nforce4 Mobo overclock to 250Mhz or better (K8N Neo4 Specifically)

    Here is some information which I was told by PQI Memory Tech support because I couldn't reach DDR500 with their product. I set it for 250Mhz FSB, 8X CPU Multiplier, 4x HTT and all within normal operating range of the PQI PC4000 memory and the A64 3200+ (2.0Ghz). I would like to know any...

    MSI K8N Neo4 & PC4000 Ram Failing Prime95 @ 250Mhz

    Lowered everything to the default speed of 200 Mhz FSB, 10x multiplier on CPU and ran Prime95 without a hitch for 3+ hours. I'm betting on the memory being the culprit. Looking at getting Corsair Twinmos XMS3200C25 instead. Cheaper than OCZ EL Gold rev 2.

    Will this be possible on a KT266A?

    I wanted do know if a 100MBz FSB Duron, 266FSB mobo and 2100DDR ram work. Do mobos have the ability to clock the CPU at 100Mhz FSB while clocking the Memory and Ram at 133Mhz double pumped. I know that some mobos can decrease the RAM timings for PC100 memory on the KT133 mobo. I had for 2...

    Are you sure you disabled the jumper free jumper? I rubbed the L1 bridges until the lead glossed over. Make sure the lead does not touch the adjacent bridge contacts.

    Never buy CPU from Overclockerz.com

    Duron 700 install

    HSF's are held down by the socket itself, so the cpu should already be in the socket. The trick is to minimize the HSF moving around while you lock down the clip.

    How do you apply Loctite on L1 Bridges.

    Got a Locked 700Mhz Duron I've got working only at 850 Mhz using the pencil trick. I would like to use the Loctite Rear Defogger conductive adhesive to make better connection on the L1 Jumper. How did you guys apply it? I would like some suggestions.

    Can pencil trick give you less overclock?

    Yeah, I know about the voltage upgrade when it starts to get unstable. It's the same with multiplier adjustments. I think I'll try the conductive pen or loctite. I'll let you know.

    Possible to change multiplier with Asus A7v?

    If you have the 4 switch and 6 switch dip switch near the primary 33/66 IDE port. If they are there you should download ver. 1.3 of the manual for dip switch(multiplier and frequency) and jumper sittings (voltages). Also there is a jumperfree jumper to disable before you can start overclocking...

    Remove & Reapply Thermal Sensor from A7V v1.01

    Duron Overclocking Troubles.. seeking advice...

    My 700 Mhz Duron came with the L1 Bridges intact and to overclock to 997Mhz (9.5x105) @ 1.85v. Did you raise your voltage at 900 or 950 as far as it would go. Did you check the temps at the different speed/voltage? What are you using as a Heatsink/Fan? I could only to 900 Mhz with a Golden...

    FOP38: Good fan... loud noise... I cant tolorate. Need alternative advice!

    I suggest you get a YSTeck 27 CFM fan which is quieter than the 38CFM. Though if you slow the fan it'll raise the temps. The only other thing is you use a new HSF like the Alpha PEP66U /w 23 CFM Sunon. If you look at the FOP38 vs. Alpha at http://www.2cooltek.com/newsocket.html. The Alpha...

    Which Heatsink for MSI K7T Pro2 ?

    I suggest that you get the FOP32-1 which is quieter than the FOP38. For $20 you can't go wrong price/preformance wise. If you really want to push overclocking/cooling envelope get the Kanie Hedge Hog (all copper hard to find) or the Alpha PEP66U (Copperbase inlay base and aluminum fins). I...

    Which Heatsink for MSI K7T Pro2 ?

    If you search the reviews here at Anantech's site you'll find a write up on the board. From what I read the Capacitors are from the CPU socket so I guess any Heatsink/Fan should do. Though the top of the lines if you really want to overclock I hear are Globalwin FOP32-1(Quiet), FOP38 (Cooler...

    Anybody tried A7V 1005-003 Bios

    Well I finally updated to 1005-03E and it sucks. I have a LS120 and 1 Gb SparQ drive on my Primary Master and Slave respectively on the 33/66 ide channel and it refuses to see the SparQ drive. Freezes trying to recongize it. Reverted back to 1004D. Maybe next time.

    A7V and New Chassis Fan - Can't monitor it
