    Watercooling a Video card

    Small block plus ramsinks?

    Looking for a case to fit my new Gaming CPU.

    Where did you mount the fans in the stacker? I'm thinking about getting one of these for my next watercooling setup.

    IC7-Max3 LEDs can I remove?

    cause everything else in my case is blue, I guess I could just cover them up.

    IC7-Max3 LEDs can I remove?

    Dumb question, is it safe to remove the 3 green LED's from the mobo?

    Your first overclock?

    So that was what 20 years ago I had my 8088, 3.66 Mhz, we're at 3.66 Ghz or better now (Well some of us) Pretty amazing leap in computing power if you ask me... but I doubt we'll make that big of a leap 20 years from now...

    Your first overclock?

    lol nice, my first computer was an 8088 3.66 Mhz, I played King's Quest ^^ I was just a kid then though and didn't really understand the technical aspects of computers, much less how to overclock :( I did however always try to get the girl in King's Quest to undress, unfortunately it always...

    Your first overclock?

    Yeah, mine was more of a curiosity thing too, I still have that processor actually :)

    Your first overclock?

    I was still on Prodigy back then, only ISP with a local number at the time :(

    Your first overclock?

    Aye, Quake ran better on my stsyem after the overclock :D

    Your first overclock?

    Just curious as to what everyone's first overclocking venture was, mine was a Pentium 75 I overclocked to 90, I even put a fan on the heatsink! O.o I had to mess with jumpers too! lol Anyone remember having to set IRQ's and DMA's with jumpers on ISA cards? Things are so much easier now...

    Worth Upgrading 2.66 (533) to 3.0 (800)?

    Might want to run some stability tests... what's your temp at full cpu usage?

    I have my 2.8E Prescott w/Abit IC7-G

    On a side note, is your IC7-G modded? Cause I got some OCZ 4000 gold that won't go over 255 bus 1:1 even with loosened timings at 2.8v

    I have my 2.8E Prescott w/Abit IC7-G

    I hope you guys aren't upping the voltage on your Prescotts too much... I'm not one to stop an overclocker but hardocp has an article about it. http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NTg5

    IC7-Max3 Memory Voltage

    Found a site with a ton of mods for the IC7-Max3, although I can't really do em myself :P Anyway, here's the link, 400 Mhz FSB with these mods :Q http://www.thelab.gr/reviews/ic7mods_en1.php

    IC7-Max3 Memory Voltage

    Well, through some searching I did find some mods, but I don't think I can do any of them myself unfortunately... I do know some electronics geeks though, they should be able to help me here :P Or I might just get a true control and turn the 3.3 v up a bit... I'm kinda at a loss on what to do...

    IC7-Max3 Memory Voltage

    Need some help :P I'm having a major problem with the memory voltage being unstable after 2.8v and the board has already been RMA'ed, DDR voltage fluxuates +/- .1v constantly... is there anything I can do to stabilize voltage after 2.8v? Or should I just get a P4C and mod it?

    HYNIX vs MOSEL chips??

    I'd have to agree, Hynix.

    Gigabyte GA-8KNXP and IC7-Max3

    Just wanted to warn anyone that's thinking about getting a Gigabyte board for overclocking... Don't do it :P I got a GA-8KNXP in about November last year, got a 2.8 Ghz P4 at about the same time. I tried everything I could think of, but couldn't get the thing to go over 229 FSB (3.2 Ghz) Just...

    first overclock, very little success

    what are your current voltages and timings etc...
  21. T

    Since prices Change daily I need an opinion

    Unless your MB has issues with the Mushkin, I'd go with that. At lest you have a little room to play with a slight overclock with the Mushkin. They look to have the same exact timings.

    Check out this case/cooling system i built

    Hey It's the Milennium Falcon :D

    P4 Temps Too High??

    depends what kind of cooling and what mainboard he has.

    P4 Temps Too High??

    That temp is perfectly fine if that is your actual temp.

    SNDS

    Aye, I don't remember the last time I had a light bulb burn out on me except when I turned the lights on lol Good analogy.

    SNDS

    Exactly why I posted here, I thought SNDS was because of heat on the chipset, but suspected otherwise, now I know better :P Thanks
  27. T

    SNDS

    Well you explained everything I needed to know, thanks :P I'm going to be OCing a 3.0c P4. I'm trying to hit 4 Ghz with 1:1 timings, and my 2.8 just won't do it lol we'll see how it goes here next week hopefully :)

    SNDS

    Just wondering here, what voltage should I stop at to aviod SNDS? I think I remember hearing 1.65v was about the highest you could go. Also, will a water block for my NB help any here, is it worth it to get one if I have a HS and fan on mine?

    Prescott- AT calls it a flop??

    I totally agree with ya there

    POLL: How awesome would prescott have been with only a 20stage pipeline?

    I'm thinkin towards the end of the year I'll get a 4.0 Ghz Prescott, that's when I think it'll start to really be worth it to have a Prescott over a NW unless you wanna seriously OC that 3.4 Prescott now... no one here would do that right? ;)

    my system is SHOCKING!!!

    Just make sure you didn't put any extra standoffs in that are touching the mainboard, I had to fix that once lol :)

    Thermaltake Giant II

    The Giant II works, but it's not really good for OCing IMO. You can probably squeeze an extra 10-15 Mhz out of the core, but the RAM you'll have to leave at default unless you have some extra cooling. I beleive this is mostly due to the Giant trapping heat on the RAM. You might want some...

    Problems with an OC

    Ok, now I just crash whenever I up the voltage on the processor above 1.550. With the exact same configuration that it's stable at at 1.550 volts. Is this a power supply problem?

    Problems with an OC

    I'm down to 1 gig of RAM, took 2 sticks out last night and got better results. The timing is 2.5-3-3-7 still because the Gigabyte board won't let me move it from 2.5. Maybe just a BIOS update, I'm not sure yet as I didn't have much time to hunt for updates last night. I'll hack at it some more...

    Problems with an OC

    Well, I took 2 modules of the RAM out and after a night of testing I'm stable at 3.444 Ghz (246 bus) The processor is still cool and I'm looking to get to 3.5 tonight if testing goes well while I'm at work. I did have to overvolt a little, the stock voltage was 1.525 not 1.25 like I thought...

    Problems with an OC

    Yes, the watercooling is run by the PS. Can you give me the name of a good program to monitor the voltage? I was also under the impression that the Thermaltake power supplies were pretty good, if testing proves otherwise I would have no qualms about going out and getting a good PS and throwing...

    Problems with an OC

    The memory is rated to run 2.5-3-3-7 up to 250 bus speed, so I don't see why that would be the problem, but that's not to say it's not the problem either :P If taking out a couple sticks of RAM doesn't do anything I'll try toning down the timings.

    Problems with an OC

    The memory is in my original post, OCZ 4000 Gold, it's running at 2.5-3-3-7. Processor is running at stock voltage, which is suprisingly low at about 1.25. (don't remember the exact number, I'm at work) Memory is running at 2.8 volts currently, I did bump that up a little. I've tried the...
