SERIOUS problem with F@H

Yes, I'm very careful comparing the same WU, same machine, same everything, even the same ambient temperature. I'm well aware of the different sizes in WU's. I asked this same question on another forum, I was told it had something to do with a fresh reboot of WinXP and the better compiler in...

Double oops. I'm sorry, believe me, I'm trying to be as low profile as I can

SERIOUS problem with F@H

I guess I've been lucky, I fold 24/7 on two (2) machines and fold, when they're awake, on two (2) other machines. I have never lost a WU. I got smart and started backing up my F@H directory before I reformat. (Duh...). What I was wondering, with the same machine, does Ubuntu or WinXP fold...

Windows XP Activation

My thoughts exactly. Edit: I stand corrected. I tried to activate my PD 805 again (3rd or 4th time), just for laughs, and "low and behold" it activated. If I over reacted I sincerely apologize. Now I can check out the new Microsoft OS called Vista, especially since they don't have the "one...

Windows XP Activation

We got off to kind of a bad start and I apologize, would just disconnecting the IDE ribbon screw things up? ( I think I had the DVD writer ready to come out of the 805 box) Hey, thanks for the heads up. I was sweating it for awhile, I'm not a system builder, but I have been in the habit of...

Windows XP Activation

Man, this is WAY off topic: WTF ! Look, my man or woman or whatever,l I don't really have time to trade flames. If you don't believe me I really don't give a sh*t. I was simply stating FACT of what I did to a couple of machines and NO I didn't change any hardware other than the HSF. ( I was...

Windows XP Activation

Impossible ??? You've GOT TO BE KIDDING. I have both machines sitting in front of me right now and the AMD Athlon64 3000+ is running 29c with a Thermaltake Big Typhoon heat sink fan cooler. In fact, what was was nice I didn't have to take the motherboard out to install the BT on the 3000+ (I...

Windows XP Activation

I agree with the topic, this MS activation is a pain in the a*s. I have four (4) machines up and running, I have purchased three copies (3) of WinXP 32 and one copy(1) copy of WinXp 64 . (I run EdgyEft Ubuntu on my P4) I moved a Tt Typhoon HSF from my Pentium D 805 to my AMD Athlon 64 3000+ and...

Terrific post, indicates someone with a good knowledge of Linux Unfortunately or fortunately (depends on how you look at it) Microsoft Windows is going to have some serious competition with Linux (it may take some time). I'm just a "noob" with Linux. I have used several different...

Need help lapping a Ninja Scythe

I have lapped a few HSF's and only one cpu heat spreader. (PD 805) I have also lapped a few northbridge heat sinks. (fans or not) I use Zallmans compound (ZM-STGI) on the northbridges, it's thinner and has a brush. I use AS5 on all my cpu HSF's. I've never had any problem with cpu temps after...

Pentium D 805 w/ Scythe Ninja temps a little disapointing

Yeah, I wasn't worried too much about my temps (if it got too hot I'd merely downclock) What I was really asking, obviously a little late because I've already ordered and paid for this Silverstone fan, was if anybody knew if it was a good choice in fans or whether it would fit on my Big Typhoon...

Pentium D 805 w/ Scythe Ninja temps a little disapointing

I haven't got a 9xx series yet, I'm waiting to see what the 915 cost after Intel releases their E4300 in 1Q next year. Maybe a E4300. (only 800 fsb, might OC good?) I've got a question about the PD 805. I have one in a Asrock 775DUAL-VSTA board and I was wondering if it's worth my while to put...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

According to a few web sites I have surfed the E4300 will be availiable in Q1 of next year. Evidently Intel had intended to release a E4200, 1.6 GHz core 2 duo in 4Q this year, but couldn't get it to out do the AMD's x2 3600 quite enough so they redid their timeline and decided to up the E4200...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

Is the new E4300 going to work in this board ? (Asrock 775DUAL-VSTA) I'm thinking 800 fsb, 2 MB L2, 1.8 GHz, might be an OCing' monster. Sounds like a E6600 with 1/2 the L2 cache. I don't want to mess with the vcore, what's the vcore on the 6xxx series ? Would the board need another BIOS update...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

Oh yeah, on the flashing the BIOS thing. I've had this MB (Asrock 775DUAL-VSTA) since BIOS v1.50 (Conroe ?) I've flashed all the way to v1.90 with absolutely no problemo's. (using windows flash, still no Conroe yet)

Quick and dirty A64 clocking guide **UPDATE** X2 OC information!

Hey thanks a bunch. I'm currently building an AMD64 3000+, skt 939 box (I upgraded my skt 939 to an AMD x2 4200+) and I need all the horsepower I can get. I'm planning on running it 24/7 folding. I'm starting a small "truck patch" of computers folding. All I have now is one P4 2.60 GHz running...

Pentium D 805 w/ Scythe Ninja temps a little disapointing

I think I posted this in the wrong place. I have a PD 805 sitting in a Asrock 775DUAL-VSTA MB, no vcore adjustment, it's OCed to 3.40 GHz from 2.66 GHz. (stable after 1 hr of Prime95, both cores) I have a Tt Big Typhoon HSF (stock fan for now) lapped to 1500 grit paper. In my case I have 2x 80...

Normal temperature for Pentium D 960

Oops, Sorry, I know, not the best place for this post. I have a PD 805 in an Asrock 775DUAL-VSTA MB, It has no option for a vcore adjustment. I have the PD 805 OCed to 3.40 GHz on stock vcore, running stable after 1 hr of Prime95 both cores. My ambient temp is 20 c (indoor/outdoor thermometer...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

When the prices go down on the PD 915, I've read where it will go down as low as $93 a 1000 units when Intel comes out with their E4300 Core 2 Duo (1Q 2007). I hope to get another MB (one that has a vcore adjustment in BIOS) and with a PD 915 chip, not only should it run much cooler than the PD...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

Mr. Vain, you are a genius. I'm still not too cool about any kind of mods to my board or cpu, but I did take you're suggestions about the overclocking hints. I already had my cpu (fsb) and everything else set to async, I had my spread spectrum disabled ( worthless ) and I had the V-link set at...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

Thanks, but no pin mod, I can get this PD 805 cpu to 3.4 GHZ and 3.6 GHz. I just can't get it to run prime95 above 3.32 GHZ for an hour. I can boot into WinXP okay, just no prime95 for better than 20 min on core1. (core0 keeps on keepin' on) What I'm thinking is it may be my PSU (it's only a...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

OOPs, I goofed on the reply thing. I have a 775DUAL-VSTA motherboard. I got it because I wanted to wait for the Core 2 Duo's to come down in price. (maybe after the E4300's come out in Q1) I first used a Celeron 346 (3.06 GHz) OCed to 3.8 GHz stable. idle: 29 c, load:, after 1 hr of prime95, 40...
