Newbe OC question for an experianced overclocker.

Stepping is cB0, So what do you guys think? Should I give it a try and try booting with the pin in the 133FSB position? Or does this chip have a chance of reaching 1Ghz at all, hmmm off to overclockers.com I go. Bob

Newbe OC question for an experianced overclocker.

Right you're absolutly correct. No OC capability with intel motherboards. You're right again the original VC820s did not support 133FSB. However as my manual states they went ahead and added support for the 133Mhz processors. Atleast I hope so. As for the PCI and AGP dividers I'll see if I...

Newbe OC question for an experianced overclocker.

Ok So I'm sitting here with my Intel VC820 motherboard. No OC capabilities what so ever...Or so I thought. Here's where my question comes into play. Normally I used to do all my OC through the bios. Up in 1 MHZ increments. Too bad I blew out my mobo (don't ask ;)) But the mobo has a manual...

HAHA New Video Cards are SUCH A JOKE.

Ahh so true. I remember when a friend of mine got a Diamon Monster. A outstanding 8MB of video memory on a AGP 1x card. How could you go wrong with 800x600x16 lol. Ahh the good ol days. Now we see people who come on and are like "damn I'm getting 247 FPS in Quake III when someone else is...

Keep Radeon 8500LELE ?

alexandersdad I myself just purchased a LE which I thought would be OEM. But the company I ordered from just throws random ones into the box so they can't tell which one I'll get even if I rma mine. But I get my LE to 250/500 rock solid & stable. I've managed to get the memory to 260 while...

Heck no, if it wants a restart it has to earn it, blue screen of death and everything right before I save a project. Then it gets the pimp & gimp smack lol Bob

CD Burner problems burning - Is it trashed?

Hmm recently I started having this same problem on my HP i8100 4x2x24. With everything you said. I thought it was trashed. Made Data disks fine (i never verified) but audio was all messed up. So I bought a new I/O Magic 16x10x40 and now the problem is gone. Happy ending right? Nope, just...

How do I benchmark my Geforce 3

You may also want to try 3DMark 2001. You can pick it up atwww.madonion.com It will test all your cards features including pixel and vertex shading. Hope that helps Bob

Is my fan supposed to be blowing on or away from my CPU?

For the most part yes. However there are some HSF out there that blow hot air off the heat sink (instead of cool air onto the heat sink) and dump the hot air into the case allowing cooler surrounding air to enter the fins. However IMO blowing air onto the HSF is the best approach. Bob

What would you say to a 1.3Ghz celeron system?

Thanks for the temps oldfart, and to the rest of you guys. This has been a warm welcome to the Anandtech forums. It's not like there is going to be no airflow, maybe 2 80mm or 60mms. The layout doesn't have lots of wires everywhere, it's just a very small case to work with once all the...

What would you say to a 1.3Ghz celeron system?

Ok so from what I can see a Celeron Tualatin at 1Ghz or maybe 1.1Ghz is the best option since I'll get more FSB out of it. << said he wants to build a new low heat low profile system. 2nd, cost. >> That is correct. This system isn't a XP1800 killer or a Northwood Killer. It's simply...

What would you say to a 1.3Ghz celeron system?

<< only the TUSL2 and TUSL2-C have the i815 (b stepping) that supports the Tualatins. >> That's true. Hey the Tates TUA266 (Link) Supports DDR memmory along with SDRAM. Would that be a good choice if I want to do a 1.3Ghz Celeron with the Tualatin core setup? I'm also looking into OC it a...

How many case fans should be necessary

I would say to 80mm giving you any cfm from 40-50 would be the best way to cool your system. Just make sure you have more intake then exit otherwise you'll get a negative vacume in your case. DJBOB

What would you say to a 1.3Ghz celeron system?

Hi oldfart, well yes I am interested in OC which is why I'm choosing Asus over Intel. Trust me I'm using a i820 right now and I've never had a problem with it. Hmm you say they make them in 133FSB flavor? I didn't know that. I know the PIII variation came with that but I didn't think the new...

Hi ModelM sorry to hear about your PSU problems maybe I can offer some advice. I don't know of any ways to slow down the RPM on a PSU fan and that would probably be a fire hazard anyway. But I can tell you I myself own a FuturePower 400w and it's as quite at a mouse. I got it from...

Hmm I don't know any place that would build it for you but try going down to like Hugh M Woods, Home Depot, Lowes and see if they will do it, or if they can give you advice. That's great you're gonna build you're own case. I'm gonna do that too with my new Celeron system. It should look like...

Best Dual Slot 1 Motherboad

If you don't want a Via chipset I would have to say go with a 440BX mobo from Intel. It's getting a little dated but it's the best dual PIII board I've worked on. Bob
