    Asus P4PE with 2 512 RAM and playing LOTR probs HELP

    thanks for the tips, but the thing is he isn't even playing the game for awhile, it's when he loads the level then it reboots. I think it could be bad RAM, thing is he is able to load the level with either stick in there by itself but when there are 2 in there it wont load the level. I'll have...

    Asus P4PE with 2 512 RAM and playing LOTR probs HELP

    My friend just got a second stick of Corsair 512mb PC 3200 C2 ram and when he tries to play LOTR Battle for Middle Earth the system reboots when he's trying to start a level. He has an older system but is running a P4 2.53 with 2 sticks of 512 Corsair PC3200 C2 in an Asus P4PE MB. I tried to...

    Asus P4PE with 2 512 RAM and playing LOTR probs HELP

    my friend said he wasn't even able to put the ram into slot 3, i thought that it wasn't allowed to put double sided ram into the 3rd slot. he said he already did flash to the latest bios and it still doesn't work. any other ideas? could it be that the ram isnt matched so he's having problems...

    ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe

    I was also thinking of getting this board and read some sprinkled reports of probs with the non -E board and ATI video cards. I have a 9500pro tweaked to 9700 and wanted to keep my video card. So anyone know if it's ok with the P4C800-E board?

    WD HD shuts down automatically...why?

    Well here is my update. It's been two days and I've played my game for a couple hrs both days. Seems to be ok so far with no crashes. I guess it must have been my o/c. I dropped my fsb by 1mhz to something that i knew was stable and so now it seems to be ok. So hopefully it'll be ok from...

    WD HD shuts down automatically...why?

    My system isn't brand new. Had it since Sep 02. Haven't done any changes to config except change vid card from G4 Ti4200 to ATI Radeon 9500 pro. But i made the change to the video card back in January 03.

    That's not too conforting....what did the HDD ultimately do, completely stop working?

    WD HD shuts down automatically...why?

    The weird thing is that I've had my system overclocked for awhile now and played games on my system with it overclocked and never had this happened to me before. So I dunno if it is really the OC that is the prob. But i guess i can try that too.

    WD HD shuts down automatically...why?

    I was playing Spinter Cell and Age of Mythology. Not sure if it's the temp thing, but i'm running 30deg C idle and under load in prime i maxed out at 42deg C. I'm not sure if gaming would get hotter than prime, i'll have to check that out. It's weird cuz this isn't the first time i've...

    WD HD shuts down automatically...why?

    I have a WD 100GB SE HD and when I have been playing a game for about 1-2 hrs the hard drive just shuts down and then the computer reboots as in reposts. It doesn't happen all the time but has happened about 4-5 times in the last 1-2 months. I don't know what is wrong. It seems to only...

    best bang-for-the-buck p4 cooler

    Sweet!!! I just did the mod on the stock Intel fan and i'm at 31deg idle and 46deg at load. And i just applied the AS3. Hopefully it can drop some more when the as3 gets "worked in". That dropped like 5 deg at load from before i did the mod, so that is VERY cool. :D I actually screwd...

    best bang-for-the-buck p4 cooler

    2 deg doesn't seem like THAT much of an improvement. Although it can mean a system is stable or not if u bump it up 1-2 mhz. One thing i was wondering was how much a decent heatsink and fan will lower the temp by compared to the stock Intel fan. Cuz i would rather make a free mod of the stock...

    How well does the 2.53 P4 overclock?

    wow that is pretty good, hooligan. I was thinking of getting the asus -V board, but decided on the -E board cuz it would have future support of hyperthreading. But wow 3.1 is pretty good. What date is ur cpu?

    PIV 1.8A @2.8 GHz!!! 155 FSB, 1.69vCore 35C idle temp!!!!

    Yeah it's that time for the new systems to start popping up again. That's what i did! :D Too bad not that great of an oc. Maybe as others try the 2.53 they can see what they get. Maybe mine chip just not good ocer. Oh well. :P

    How well does the 2.53 P4 overclock?

    Yeah I'm using stock cooling. I didn't bump the voltage higher cuz it didn't seem to help any when i was at 158. I bumped it up to 1.65. Right now I'm at 1.6. I believe that is default voltage and board only goes up to 1.7. I didn't wanna give too much voltage that's why i try to keep it at...

    PIV 1.8A @2.8 GHz!!! 155 FSB, 1.69vCore 35C idle temp!!!!

    No way it's at 158. Can't even post at 158. Only at 149. There is no way u can achieve my OC. Hahahaha :D I dunno. We'll see. I am at 3:4, so no matter what wont be faster than me since i'm at 396ddr right now. ;)

    PIV 1.8A @2.8 GHz!!! 155 FSB, 1.69vCore 35C idle temp!!!!

    Ooops! :o I just checked my bios and I thought I had it set for a Vcore of 1.65V but i was wrong it is actually set at a vcore of 1.6V only!! Ooops. :o So are my vcore setttings ok then, even though there is a big jump from idle and loaded?

    How well does the 2.53 P4 overclock?

    Crap!! I just got the 2.53 with an asus p4b533-e board, 1 stick 512 corsair xms 3200 cas2 ram and can only get 2.83 at 149fsb :( . I dunno what the deal is. Wont even post at 158fsb. Any ideas?

    PIV 1.8A @2.8 GHz!!! 155 FSB, 1.69vCore 35C idle temp!!!!

    Yeah i do have the 4 pin connector and it is plugged in. So i dunno. I would hope that the ps is good, cuz i dont wanna go through the hassle of returning it.

    PIV 1.8A @2.8 GHz!!! 155 FSB, 1.69vCore 35C idle temp!!!!

    well i am not sure how much of a fluctuation is considered okay. But i think it seems pretty "stable" voltage-wise in either the idle or under load stage, it's just the difference between the idle and loaded voltages that seem quite off, from what ppl are saying. I hope it is ok...but i dunno...

    hey all, well i am a friend on Juicy Fruit and i am the one who just got the 2.53 P4. I have the same p4b533-e as juicy does and an enermax 431W ps. Well i just tried the testing of the ps under load and not. And my Vcore drops pretty low too under load. I dont get it. It's set at 1.65V...

    corsair PC3200 part num

    ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the info. Also, do the platinum heatspreaders make a difference? And what is on the CAS2 3200 sticks then, just normal ram with no heatspreaders so that u can see the chips? Thanks.

    corsair PC3200 part num

    Yeah, I know i looked up corsair too, so I am quite confused. Maybe it was a typo, i dunno. Frys is never super good with info on that kinda stuff, but i cna't say for sure. Plus being almost 20 buck in price diff makes me kinda wonder.

    corsair PC3200 part num

    Hey i went to fry's and they have two different part numbers for what seem to be corsair pc3200 512 meg chips. One has a part number CMX512 3200PT (which i assume to be the latest corsair XMS series RAM) and the other part number was CMS512A 3200C2. I dont know what the difference is between...

    PC3200(DDR400) vs overclocked PC2700(DDR333) performance?

    hey i kinda had a question on the corsair ram in general. I was wondering, I was at Frys and i saw that there are two different 512 chips of PC3200 corsair ram. One had a part number that was CMX512 3200PT and the other was CMS512A 3200C2. I dont think these are official corsair part nums but...

    BEST i845* motherboard? for overclocking FSB to the MAX!

    i was kinda wondering this same question. I wanted to kinda know what board would be best. But I kinda narrowed it down to the Asus P4B533-E or the Abit IT7. I know the reputation for both companies are good. But in terms of OC and overall performance which would be best. Thanks.

    WHICH ONE??? --- Asus P4B533-E (845e board) OR Asus P4B533-V (845g board)

    i just had a question. I am about to build a new comp and was deciding on a MB. I was thinking of the Asus P4B533-V originally, but then i recently read that there is no hyperthreading support on any 845G chipset boards. I think i would like to have that so i was thinking of maybe getting the...

    Abit BE6 running with 1Ghz or 1.1Ghz slot1 processor?

    I have a 1ghz (100mhz) P3 running it on the BE6. No probs. I use a slocket adapter. Been running it for a year now and no probs. I know that the Abit website said only up to 850Mhz but the 1ghz is ok as long as u get the 1ghz with the 100mhz bus. I dont think abit made another bios update...

    WHICH ONE??? --- Asus P4B533-E (845e board) OR Asus P4B533-V (845g board)

    hey Jola, when u get ur whole comp up and running could u post some benchmarks so we have some idea how the -V compares to the -E board? Thanks.

    WHICH ONE??? --- Asus P4B533-E (845e board) OR Asus P4B533-V (845g board)

    Ahh...i dont know what to do know. I am so confused. i was thinking of getting the -V board cuz of what u said about the 333 ram, Jola. I wasn't really thinking about OC my stuff but the option is nice (nice bragging rights too ;) ) But achieving DDR400 sounds nice too. U think u can...

    WHICH ONE??? --- Asus P4B533-E (845e board) OR Asus P4B533-V (845g board)

    WHICH ONE??? --- Asus P4B533-E (845e board) OR Asus P4B533-V (845g board)

    Man, so many probs with mem. Do you guys know if there are any probs using Samsung memory on the -V board? So Jola, are u saying u would rather go with the -E board now? I thought the -V board was good cuz it had support for DDR333 without OC. So if u wanna OC the mem then the -E would be...

    WHICH ONE??? --- Asus P4B533-E (845e board) OR Asus P4B533-V (845g board)

    Thanks Jola. I read about u getting the -V board. Hopefully you can finally give some conclusive results on the mem issues as well as how good and reliable the board is. Looking forward to the posts.

    WHICH ONE??? --- Asus P4B533-E (845e board) OR Asus P4B533-V (845g board)

    Hey All, Well I still haven't gotten my new board cuz I wanted to wait for the price drop to occur sometime next month. While I am waiting for that to happen, I've been just reading forums. I thought my decision was pretty clear and i was gonna go with the p4b533-v board but reading the new...

    WHICH ONE??? --- Asus P4B533-E (845e board) OR Asus P4B533-V (845g board)

    I thought the -V boards were having trouble with Corsair memory? I've read several different forums where ppl have been having trouble with the corsair ram in the -V boards. Is this right?
