    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    Option 1 should give the best performance in just about every program. I think promise makes a pci SATA2 controller, but I would think that it would bottleneck on the pci bus, so you would probly get the same performance just running SATA150 that the mobo supports. Try a PCI-E x1...

    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    sry you are SOL past about 233FSB with DDR1 it sets divider 4:3. This motherboard cant run DDR1 at 1:1 ration at high FSB. If you set it to DDR400, and tighten the timings the performance will be almost identical to running DDR2 at 533mhz.

    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    The AGP voltage mod helps the motherboard get past 300mhz FSB for processors that use 266Mhz FSB (like pentium EE, or Core2duo) It raises the voltage of the agp bus, and the motherboard chipset. ***Raising AGP Voltage will NOT help in overclocking your video card. For that you would need...

    Saarland University Professor says 8800GTX might actually Have 160 stream processors!!!!

    How about their recent drivers that enabled "Transparency anti-aliasing" on Geforce 6 series cards, a feature thought to only be supported on the 7 series. I wouldn't think they would do it to hide performance for later, but if they were worried about the silicon yield they may have added...

    Something interesting I noticed about the new batches of C2Ds

    When I oc my ram too much (or even just wrong timings or voltages) I get stop errors in SP2004, and error messages in programs. When I oc my cpu too much I get system crashes/random reboots, with SP2004, and my games.

    Booted Windows with cpu fan off - how bad is this???

    For the DVD writer... Have you tried updating your ATA/IDE drivers?

    Is intel underclocking it's CPUs so they can release higher clock models in the future without any difficulty?

    the power consumption point hit the nail on the head. With the netburst architecture they got so much negative publicity about power consumption and over heating that they made this a priority

    About to get a x1950 pro

    The ones with the standard one slot cooling solution get loud. pick one with the acellero or the gigabyte version with the zalman cooler

    I've got 2 1gb sticks of (kvr667d2n2/1g) run in dual channel. I'm running 320FSB, using the 533 divider (this one performs better than the 667 divider) so 640Mhz at timings 4-4-4-15 2T

    High load temp on e6600 + HSF?

    That's maybe 6C higher temps than my e6600 on the same board. You should be fine. Don't lap the processor, the couple degree decrease you might get is not worth voiding your warranty on a $316 processor.

    Overclocked C2D freezes during games

    If the PSU is overloaded, then yes it would most likely reboot not freeze. But an insuffiecient powersupply can also cause stability issues. What is probably happening is the added load from the gpu is causing the voltage on the 12 volt rails to droop. This will negatively affect the...

    hitting 3.6 using asus p5n32-e with a zalman 7700 al-cu

    that motherboard is based on the Nforce 4 sli x16 chipset. The FSB will max out in the low 300's probably. You will need a motherboard capable of 400mhz FSB, like a P5N-E based on the 650i SLI chipset, or a 680i SLI based board.

    Make sure you manually set your memory timings, for ddr 400 should be 3-3-3-8 2T or 3-4-4-8 2T. 2T is the key with this mobo

    Can a CPU Fry a motherboard

    I had a core 2 duo, and asrock 775dual-vsta. I modded the northbridge voltage, and possible the fsb term voltage *not sure on that one. Anyhow one night when i was hammered i accidentally turned the knob on the Variable resistor. The mosfets next to the northbridge got torched. So...

    loosen your memory timings. comand per clock needs to be at 2T with this board, even with good ram.

    ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA

    Does anyone know when these might be available in the states? I spilled beer in my pc, and when i was cleaning it out I accidentally hit one of the POT's i had in my 775dual for a mod and a couple mosfets got torched :) If this were out I'd pick one up as a replacement.

    Sempron 2800 overclocking s754 <Update> 300 reached!

    Hey SniperX nice overclock on the sempron. You definitely had to lower Hypertransport multiplier to 3. The bus can not run past 1000mhz which is why you were having troubles at 251mhz x4 would be 1004mhz. I'm pretty sure it will perform better at 2.4 ghz with HTL at 900 than it would at...
