    Few Remaining Questions on Athlon II X4 overclocking

    Hi, I just put one of these in my box. It is the CAYC stepping and from what I have read this is a good stepping for unlocking. Unfortunately my board has the 700 SB and not the 710 or 750 so unlocking the cores is out. It runs stablle 3.12Ghz, stock voltage. All I did was drop the multiplier...

    XP hates me, pls help!

    I have a Hot Rod 100 controller card that took some trial and error to get XP to load. XP ships with all of MS's digitally certified drivers so when I hit F6 and loaded the High Point drivers it hung when loading the OS. So I let XP load it own set of drivers for the card. High Point now has...

    Need your expert opinion on overclocking my AYHJA 1.33Ghz T-bird

    Follow o1die's advice and you should be fine applying the HSF. I just got a 1.333 AYHJA chip yesterday and installed it and was able to reach 1.6G stable. I am water cooling it and opted for 1554 as the speed to leave it at. I am also running a Epox 8K7A mobo. Good Luck!

    Do OEM chips overclock just as well as retail chips?

    OEM chips definitely clock as good or better than reatil chips. I have never purchased a retail chip and have had very good results with OEM chips. What's nice is if you go to a local shop you can check out all the cores in a tray and choose accordingly.

    P4 or 1.33 AMD - That Is The Question

    My vote for the 1.33 Tbird. Put it on a Epox 8K7A board and buy a good watercooling rig with some of the saved money. Probably do 1550 w/o a hitch:)

    Processor Problems?

    Is the core chipped? This can cause some quirkiness like you described. I had this problem with a 900 Slot A Tbird I bought. Do you have a friend that will let you check it out with their chip?

    Arctic Silver on CPU

    Wipe as much off as you can with a Qtip and Alcohol then use a erasure. I've done this many times. Just make sure to rotate the erasure and rub off the paste on a napkin.

    Help Please! Cannot format hard drive with standard MS boot disk in win 2000

    You will not be able to load W2K in DOS. Do like Dyngoe said and copy the W2K ATA/Raid drivers from the CD that came with your board to a disk. Then partition and format accordingly. Before trying to load W2K go into bios and disable the Floppy drive in the boot sequence and enable the CD Rom as...

    Any consensus on whether 1GHz/200 OC's better than 1GHz/266?

    I have a 200 FSB Tbird and bought a 266 FSB chip and compared them seeing no real difference in performance or overclockability. My 200 FSB chip actually matched it and cost less. The 266 chip ran hotter so I sold it!

    is there a known poblem with the t bird-c

    Compuwiz is correct as the c chips are engineered to run at a standard 266FSB (133). To crank the FSB you have to have good ram or you will be limited on how high you can go. I am using NEC VC Memory and running a "B" 1.2G Tbird I bought from compuwiz at 1454 with the FSB @153 and the...

    where do you buy a peltier and will it help me?

    Your best bet is to use a pelt with a water block. You should be able to clock higher and not have to worry about the heat. I have a Overclockers Hideout copper WB and 80W peltier with the shim. That I got a while back in the forum. I was going to use it with my 1.2G Tbird but was advised not to...
