I see you're running your 750 Duron at 900,why not run it at 933 & use the 133mhz fsb since you have a A7v133?

I've hit 900 once, crashed at 950🙁 It's at 800mhz at the moment.

I'm waiting for my extra fans to come in before I really go for it. BTW, what should I set the voltage at (1.85v?)? And can I change it in BIOS also?
 
Congrats! 😎 Isn't just great when you hit the power button, everything spins-up and the screen comes to life? You honestly feel like you accomplished something, right? Welcom to the &quot;My Dell/Compaq/HP is Now a Paperweight&quot; Club! Best of luck with your new rig. Looking forward to reading your &quot;I'm looking to upgrade my XXX/YYY/ZZZ posts in about 3 months or so! 😉 Cheers.

It's my mom's &quot;new&quot; PC🙂



<< Looking forward to reading your &quot;I'm looking to upgrade my XXX/YYY/ZZZ posts in about 3 months or so! >>



Hehe, yeah I'm already looking forward to the Athlon4🙂
 


<< Adding windows or painting or lighting. >>



dont stop there. blow holes. fan bus's. making ur own case and power supply! haha. jk.
 
I hope to get mine working flawlessly sometime in early July. I guess the only part to be worried about is the cpu. I mean ensuring that you take off the plastic, apply the thermal paste and attach the heat sink properly. I'm worried about accidently frying my cpu.

I'll make sure i get you guys to assure me step by step that i'm doing things right when the time comes. Can't wait.

I love you all.(no i'm not gay)!
 
That was what I was scared about the most. Honestly, it was one of the easiest parts of the build. You'll be fine.
