Called local OM and asked if I print out and bring in the online coupon. They said no problem. Get the rep's name and then go in and get the camera and CF.
Thanks for the deal!
There are so many different theories of human nature. That, we can all agree.
The correct (universal) theory is .... That we can all agree to disagree.
The odds are not good. For a pretested cpu, just post a WTB thread in the For Sale/Trade forum. Or just send a private message to compuwiz1 or bonkers325. They will take good care of you.
Its nice to see that Asus has added some jumpers to address cold boot. These are missing on the CUSL2. Never been a problem for me, but a real pain in the behind for some others.
I've heard of similar stories with the CUBX. I ran a 633@950 and a 533a@800 on my CUSL2 with the original final bios (1001). Each cpu booted right off, no messing around.
Hey - We need more suggestions here!
What bios revision are you running? I don't like advising people to flash their bios because of the possibility of a bad flash. But, I have heard of cases where people were having trouble running celerons on Asus motherboards, and a bios flash helped them.
miniMunch - Your heat transfer description is exactly what I mean by the orb was not designed with heat transfer in mind. The fins are to far away from the heat source. That, coupled with the low fin surface area, results in poor heat removal. Having said that, I own one too.:o
Well then, on a warm boot, you should be looking at windows at 1.75. Try reseating the cpu and HSF. I'll let some other people take a stab at this.
edit: Did you reload windows after you changed motherboards?
What voltage were you running at 850 on the BH6? The CUSL2 does not immediately apply an increased vcore upon powerup. Try this:
Boot up at 66. Go to the bios setting for vcore and increase it. Then exit. It should go to windows now.
From what I've read, the A7V133 has a good selection of FSB speeds through the bios.
edit: The best price I've seen for this board is in the For Sale\Trade forum.
The orb was not designed to transfer and remove heat. I think it was designed to look good, and sell big. TC is now releasing a more conventional design cooler which doesn't look as good as the orb, but will keep a cpu cooler.
I have not heard of anyone gaining anything with 4x. I may be wrong. There is a real world gain from doing the memory tweak if you run higher than 140fsb.
You will have better luck at hitting the 100 FSB with a C2 566@850 or 600@900. A pretty good percentage of 633's make 950. But I would try retail 566 or 600.
I just had a 17in go bad. It works fine for about 10 minutes, then starts flickering on and off. I allow it to cool, and it works for another 10 minutes. Any suggestions to fix it? I love to tinker.
I just received my NEC FE700 from Staples.com. Final price was about $140.00 with free shipping. I needed an inexpensive replacement. And I must say, for the price, the quality is good.
Edit: I'm sorry. There is sales tax. So my final was about $152.00.
Go to your motherboard's manufacturer's web site. There you will find a flash utility, and the latest final bios for your motherboard. You better read a FAQ about flashing before you just try it. A bad flash can render your motherboard useless.
This is a long shot, but here it is anyway: On the CUSL2 there is [SDRAM driving mode] -> [Normal/Strong] bios setting, where you set to strong if you are using more than one bank of ram. I don't know if there is a similar bios setting on the SA6R.
If you are sure that the TNT2 is your problem, then yes a new video card may be in order. I can vouch for the GTS cards handling 89Mhz. I wouldn't change motherboards or wait for newer video cards.
BTW: I have run TNT2's at 89 before. You may want to verfiy that is indeed your problem.
That 600@927 is a nice overclock. A 633@950 is not going to buy you any performance gain. And as Tates said, forget about the celeron 700. If you are unhappy with your system's performance, then you are going to have to move to a P3 processor. I would advise staying with the FCPGA.
Thanks for the info. I've been flashing all along without a care in the world. :Q
Jak - Try this. If this doesn't work, then I think your going to have to send the board back.
1. Unplug the ac power cord.
2. Remove your video card so that the board will boot with the onboard video...
You should have gotten a 600 to go with that board. Hah Hah
Give it a shot. It may be your lucky day. You will definitely need to increase the voltage.
The reason you have equal performance is the 700e needs to run at 133 to give you 933. And that is exactly what 933eb does. A 933eb shares the same multiplier (7) as does the 700e.
