I see.
With the new fan I got (old fan was dead) I got my idle temps to 21C I changed the FSB to 300(from 266) and it's been running at 2.4 all night with 23C idle.
running prime 95 it jumps to 39-41C i was using Prime95: in-place large FFTs
I use a 9600 can't remember if it blocks the other slot.
found the fsb... It's not labelled how I thought it would be clocked to 2.4 but it was heating up. That's when I notced my fan on the cpu not spinning. Picked up a V1 from thermaltake for 17 bucks
negative I have never OC'd before
I do not see the options in the bios that you are speaking of.. This is my bios version.
Brand American Megatrends Inc.
Version 080014
Date 02/01/2010
says i'm running at a 1066 FSB.
I have speccy so whatever info you need i can provide
then what do you suggest that is a good board that i'm not going to be spending a arm and leg for?
your saying i have to alter the pins to get this to overclock? ah heck
I have not been able to find out where the overclock settings are. Anyone have any ideas? I looked through the bios and nothing. I might just decide to find another motherboard for the 6420 if i can't figure out how to get it to overclock. If this happen anyone have a good/great selection.
I want to thank everyone on here for every single recommendation. I'm attempting to OC my PC but for some reason I'm having trouble finding the settings. I have made a post in the mobo section but nothing yet.
Are the Phenoms that good? Has AMD retaken the lead in the CPU and GPU race? Obviously if I go this route i'm going to be buying almost a whole new system. As I do not deal with AMD much anymore which motherboards are good for them?
Good deal or not
Biostar...
Yeah that 175 is more then I have paid for my last card. Nvidia 9600GT
but thank you for looking plus I prefer New vs used as not everyone will cover warrenties
awesome name as the Battletech Reference
I try to stay away from the Uber high end tech as it changes to fast. Will the 275 be enough of a performance boost to justify the expense? I'm not a rich man and most of my expenses goes into the Web hosting business i started
Morning folks,
I have been building PC's since before 1990 and have built every single one of my machines I currently have but always about 2-3 gen's behind. Currently I have a 9600 GT. a good cards that is playing starcraft2 Beta on a 1680 x 1050 screen and enjoying it.
What confuses me is...
