Thanks

thanks op

I have zalman 7700-cu heatsink.
what thermal compound do you guys recommend and where?

I've used artic silver 5 before... one dangerous thing. While I was pulling my heatsink out to clean the dust, processor came right off the socket bending the pins

what and where can i buy a good thermal compound for cheap?

i'm pretty sure the reason that happened was cuz the seal created by the paste was just really really good...im pretty sure that's actually what you want to go for, and can happen with any thermal paste if it's applied well enough. just be careful when you take the heatsink off.

:beer:
nice

 

[BIGFOOTPI]

since no one mentioned it.. its OEM.

 

[AznSensation]

It's 2.4ghz at stock speeds.

I wonder how much I can overclock this thing with my Asus A5N-deluxe mobo, 1gig DDR-500 PQI RAM, and 7700-cu heatsink.

Is 3.0ghz possible?

Use AS5. As a general rule you want to run your comp for a few minutes to warm up the thermal grease before removing the heatsink to help prevent problems like that.

What Motherboard should I get for this CPU?? (I'm looking for one with SLI)

 

[touchmyichi]

wow, single cores are cheaper than dirt now.

 

[pioneercrazed]

My 4000+ rocks!

I run it at 2750 @ 1.45v, this is with the multiplier set to 11x250... Stock multiplier is 12x200; this is on a DFI LP SLI-DR and by someone who barely knows what they're doing... Oh, and I'm using an XP-90 HS/f

in general it's hard to get K8's up to 3.0 ghz without some serious voltage and cooling. 2.8ghz is more realistic.

got one in the last deal... it's stable at 3.0 (250x12) with the geeks $40 msi board and cheap memoryat 6.6% overvolt (cpuz sez 1.442, more volts didn't let oc higher)... stays under 50c with a 3 pipe copper hsf with quiet fan...

the nice thing is the 250*12 is a nice 'natural' number... u get 4x htt and the mem is at 200 with a memdiv of 166... and it's fast... 10000 3dmarks with a 1800xt...

if u r slightly lucky u ought to be able to get 3.0 without much grief with your pieces... a good psu helps, tho...

 

[postmortemIA]

they have 2.2 versions for both 754 and 939 sockets for around $55....

 

[worldcomingdown]

Great! trying to get on the FS/T board but this will save the trouble!

 

[kaxx]

I have to recommend the 3700 for overclocking. I and many many others have got it up to 3.0 ghz , and it's a little cheaper

Cubeless: I'm about to build a cheap gaming rig with that same setup ... what 'cheap memory' are you using and which PSU?

Here's my planned config:

4000+ that OC posted: $80
Thermaltake HSF $30
Geeks MSI board: $48
G.Skill 2x1GB: $175
Antec II @Fry's(450wpsu): $40AR

I have all other peripherals/optical drives including an XFX 7900GT and Raptor 74 GB.

"For a little more (or little less) I can/should go with....." thoughts anyone?

Thanks --- hanging around this hot deals board is gonna save me some $$$

Yes if you get lucky. Mine can do 3.2GHz at crazy voltages, though I'm running 3.12GHz because of lower voltages plus can tighten up RAM timings.

how does this compare to Opteron 165?

They don't really compare at all. The Opteron 165 is a dual core....this is single.

compare

 

[Dynamyck]

How does this 4000+ compare to the Opteron 150 Venus (single core)?

They're both 2.4GHz and (from what I can tell) same in all respects except the price (4000+ = $80, Opty 150 = $140) granted the 4000+ is OEM while Opteron is retail.

Sure it is single core, but if app doesn't take advantage of dual core (and many don't), then 4000+ is way faster.

At the same MHz they will have identical performance.

damn after i saw that the original deal was dead i spent the money i had saved up for this before :|

 

[psykohog]

For $70 less I got the 4000. I am running it at
3.0 now with no problems on air.
