My current rig specs are in my sig.....and at nearly 3 years old, I feel it is time to build again! I really haven't been keeping up with new hardware lately, so I am asking you guys for advice. Looking to spend about 1500 or 1700. Interested in Vista 64...but dont know if needed. It will be a...
I need 2 x 1 gig memory sticks, I am upgrading from OCZ EL Plat. rev2 2x 512. Really don't want to spend more than 250 and they must be able to OC decently. Any suggestions?
I don't know if anyone is still talking about it on the thread, but I went over to OCAU to check oput the thread that Duvie was talking about. That Chainbolt guy should be the intel poster child. Or a pretzel company poster child. His logic is certainly all twisted up like one.
what slots are your memory in? dual channel usually offers no significant performance gain ( unless using onboard video ) so that shouldn't matter, but i would keep them in slots 1 and 2. how is the overclock progressing?
go into BIOS. cell menu, then press enter on DRAM configuration.
1T/2T set to 1T
CAS# Latency set to 3
RAS# to CAS# Delay set to 4
Min RAS# Active Time set to 10
Row Precharge Time set to 4
let us know how it goes.
i agree also. but that's the ram i got, so thats what i am using. zebo did an interesting post that showed the value ram to perform every bit as well as more expensive except in winrar, i think with the a64 chips. i think if he just loosens his timings a bit he will get a good overclock. the...
here's how i have mine set up. agp set to 67. memory in slots 1 and 2. if you are using SATA use ports 3 or 4. cool and quiet disabled. memory set at 2.5-3-3-10 1T 1:1 ratio. FSB set to 250. htt multi set to 4x. vcore and vdimm at stock.
can you post a link to those 2 cpu's please? As far as I knew, the 3200 s939 .9 @ 2.0 GHz was a winchester, and the 3200 s754 .13 @ 2.2 was the newcastle...... wonder if it is a typo?
How about a Lian-Li PC-65 and a Super Flower Fan Master controller that you addyourself?
Lian-Li PC-65 http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=11-112-024&depa=1 $110.00
Super Flower Fan Master http://www.xoxide.com/suflfanma4po.html $33.00
And nowhere near as funky looking as the Xaser.......:)
i would partition the raptor with OS and apps/programs. no performance gain, but you could reinstall your OS if necessary and your other programs would still be there.....
I've heard good things about the xp-90 and the zalman. for the extra money, is there gonna be a big difference between the zalman and the xp90 and a 92mm fan? this is one area on my new build i don't mind dropping a few extra bucks ( unlike the cpu.....i'm not dropping 8 bills on a fx55 :)
Just curious what some of you would recommend for a heat sink and heat sink fan on a AMD64 3200 skt939 on a MSI neo2 platinum board all going to be inside a Lian Li pc65 case. THanks!
Okay, here's what I have selected to put together at the end of the year, and Am gonna start buying chunk by chunk soon. Any recommendations/advice is appreciated.
AMD A64 3200 939
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum
OCZ EL PC4000 1 gb
nvidia 6800GT ( not sure which maker yet.......)
Fortron 530W psu...
