Well, finally got it all put together. It comes with a plain Jane AL heatsink and fan, no smooth finish on the bottom of this puppy! But it does have some decent TIM on the bottom...
Mounted the 4850e on the Gigabyte 780G MB, got Vistax64 all loaded in and all the drivers etc. Loaded up...
please put celcius temps on here so we can guage better. BTW, 98f is great temps, that's 38c at idle. Don't bother lapping anything, unless you have
a VERY flat standard you will not have as flat a surface. Get a better HSF if you are worrying about temps. You can hit 55-60c at full load...
I got mine yesterday and put it on Gigabytes 780G matx board. Got two of my awesome sticks of GSKILL on there, but no other
nice accessories. I'm trying to get my vlited Vistax64 Ultimate the way I want it, then it's OC time on the factory heatsink. I'm
making this an HTPC.
I have a measly dual core Opteron 1210 @ 2.7ghz Vista x64 and x1900XT @ 1680x1050 medium on most setting, 4xAA and Crysis is very playable. I can hardly believe that with the super high end hardware that people have, that they complain about not being able to play the game at all. lol I call...
what's the point? I saw no real deals at any stores this year.... I guess people don't value their time very much to be lining up at stores 5:30 am? that's nuts. Black Friday blows nutz 2004
Just ran into a great price tonight at my local BestBuy and thought someone else might find it at their store. It didn't look like a sale price or clearance item. The Dynex is going for $89.99 so this is a hot deal if you can find it.
Maybe a hot deal for some of you, and it has a happy ending so I decided to post here.
After deciding to give rebates a try once again after several failed attempts in the past, I yet again hit a roadblock with Staples saying the UPC was not valid and they couldn't send a rebate check. I tried...
had pricematched BB at CC for $99 otd , but returned them because I heard that Kingston is kinda flaky. I got the Hynix 4.3ns Kingston PM for $69 otd instead. Pretty decent memory, despite the brand name
had maine for a couple weeks or so, and I was glad to run across it after just buying one at BB w/o cable. Needless to say I am impressed with it. Why spend more on the 960? same dang printer
Very YMMV... but I scored one 512 kit with the Hynix D43 chips. At least the manager let me have a limit of one box, told me they didn't pricematch rebates but let me have it anyhow. I also pricematched the 512 HyperX PC4000 for $99 amir @ BB plus 10%. Now that guy was really happy to get...
well uh... the specification is 166fsb and it's always a crapshot any higher. Some will do 200, some 225+, and some won't do 180. Then again, I think you should start at a lower multiplier as that might be past the limit of the chip. Try raising the voltage higher, might be just the thing...
no, to raise the default multiplier. I started mine at 10 because of my MB. I have a jumper that lets me go either 133-166 OR 166-200mhz fsb. So I chose the 166-200 jumper.
10x166+1.66mhz. Then I made a config to run 1.66@ low voltage (cool&quiet web surfer).
Then two or three more configs to...
I am not sure, but I do know one thing... I got a 2500+ mobile rated at 1.45v and it wouldn't do that speed at 1.45v. I had to raise it to 1.65v to get anywhere above 1.9ghz.
"Actually, 1.6v is the most you should give to a mobile Barton. We "old-time" overclockers believe that it's safe to overvolt any cpu up to 10%...."
The voltage on the mobile Barton is only 1.45v if you are at the default cpu speed of 600mhz. The Powernow! specs say if the cpu speed is to...
