    IP35-E or DFI Blood Iron for 500MHz & Wolfdale??

    My vote is for the DFI Blood Iron, I've built two with this board so far and it is rock solid. Don't waste your money on anything else unless you need SLI. $115 is cheap at Newegg for a high performance MB

    IP35-E vs DFI Blood Iron

    I was a novice when I wanted to first start over clocking (weren't we all) but I read that the DFI boards were the best at it so I went out and bought one (during the NF4 era I bought a total of 3) all of them worked like champs. I am currently using one and it's great. Since then I've purchased...

    Best case in town? Antec 900?

    I've built a case with an antec 900 just cause it looked damn cool. And it seemed to be a fine case.. but a little expensive for my taste. Personally I've fallen in love with the RAIDMAX SMILODON cause its PRICE/SIZE/EASY TO INSTALL STUFF!!!! of the tens of high class custom builds I've done...

    OVERCLOCKING Q6600

    wow, that cooler looks like a blast. I think I can sacrifice 200mhz-300mhz for the added trouble and weight of a water cooler, but defiantly something I'd like to get my hands on someday.

    OVERCLOCKING Q6600

    I dont agree. I've clocked others much farther than they've ment to go and had em run like champs. That said, right now i have it at 1.45v 3.5Ghz, hasnt dropped multi's. Would not run stable at 1.5v 3.6Ghz hav'nt tried 1.48 3.6ghz. Will do that if i get the 3.5 stable. Thanks

    AMD X2 3800+ temps

    Worth selling a Opteron 165 setup and going to AM2?

    I would sell it, buy the C2D 6600 in 2 weeks, overclock the crap out of it and buy a 8800GTS\GTX. Defanetly dont pass up the chance to sell your old hardware for that NICE OF A PRICE you won't be able to give that hardware away in 6 months P.S but if you dont sell it, and need someone...

    XP-90 for E4300

    I think the temps should be fine for it, and if they're a bit to high, LAP IT! My CPU temps dropped 10c Load after I sanded that guy to a mirror polish. like above said, its worth a shot, a new mount for LGA775 is only like 8 bucks

    GOD I HATE IDIOT BIDDERS ON EBAY

    somethin ive also had a little success with is bidding on items with wierd spelling or checking for mistakes in syntax or not browsing to the area the item is supposed to be sold in. Catch things that no one else finds so they have very few bidders.

    appreciate it. I just cringe at paying upwards of $30 for a good fan, it seems that it shouldn't be so complicated to make a stupid fan rotate at a high speed and low volume, but obviously this is the case. More words of wisdom, and cheap good fan advice is appreciated. ALSO what do you...

    Overclocking Opteron 2xx 940's

    thats a good question. I suppose the answer is that the amd64 is still more than enough power to run a server of the calaber we're looking for, and if its cheaper.. why not? The core archatecture did not change except to allow for DDR2 and suposedly someday there will be affordable 4core...

    Overclocking Opteron 2xx 940's

    Has overclocking 940's ever been something that people have done? obviously we want maximum stability with server CPU's. But from everything I've seen of the amd64 and opty series, they shouldnt have any stability problems whatsoever at around 200-500mhz OC. Starting from 1.8ghz-2.2ghz. 2nd...
