@kabukiawie
Lol.. Now changing to GC topics again? Ya socket A also on OC mode? Really hardcore.. All ur rigs been OC.

@Ray
Ic.. Hm.. Not really know about ATI stuff eventhough i had use it for past a year. Btw, i never use software OC for my previous 9550 and 9800. I used to used soft modded by dump the original bios of the card then mod it and reflash it back again. Play safe without flashing in other card bios in.

long live intel p4 478 socket

btw guys...just got my HDD cooler....i still duno da temperature yet...just reformat comp

@fylon,actually last time my brother mis-flash bios into his MSI 9550 and end up can't boot up. But somehow he used a PCI base card to boot up his pc,then log into Windows to re-flash the 9550.Then the 9550 was alive again.I also not sure how's the way he did it.My younger brother is indeed more superior than me. Hehe.

i tried a trick before to solve similar issue with yours. It is called 'blind flash'. Powderful.

actually i have read bout that sumwhere last nite .... if u flash with wrong bios, u have to use other pci gc and then flash back the back up bios for the gc .. for expert, it's gonna be easy i think ... but i don't think that i dare to do that ...

@fylon
not hardcore la, just curious that how well this gc will go. i cant oc my axp. i wish i have a nf2 mobo...

oc for fun only, i think after this i will run it at stock. hehehe.... for long term use.

Just finished 3 C&C 3 NOD mission. Gosh.. Now then i feel the pain of gaming at high resolution. Currently run C&C at 1280*1024 full high resolution. Feel the pain when whole bunch of army and car rush at a time. Need some powderful GC now..

@raymond5105
Yea.. But provided u owned at PCI card on hand 1st. Otherwise, never try this trick or else ur card will end with wrong bios been flashed.

@edministrator
Blink flash? Meaning flashing the card without the monitor? Thats what i can think off. Mind explain it?

@Kabu
Lol.. All got OC. Not bad lo.. But rarely too see Socket A user around now. P4 still strong yet Socket seems like disappear already.

@edmin,oh blind flash.But sadly i'm not familiar with it.Else i can share with you all.

@sang,I heard my brother said it's pretty safe and easy to do it.Before flashing any bios,make sure it's compatible or lese just softmod them.Softmod is the safest way.

@kabu,NF2 mobo.Once a legendary mobo with good o/c.Now quite hard to get the mobo even 2nd hand.

blind flash is a simple method of having a backup copy of the bios copy with an autoexec.bat that will autoflash with backup bios copy when your system boots. No need for PCI card.

btw, nf2 was previously reign supreme that topples the sales of i845 and i865 mobo. i love the nf2, especially the ones that comes with soundstorm. SWEET.

@fylon,
u do not need a more powerful card for cnc3. trust me, its the CPU bottleneck. tried running high details on an AMD A64, 2GB DDR400 and 7600GT AGP before. butter smooth with lots of AI units on screen.

Wowo, V6 already. Cool, we still can survive very long. That is a good point for our old school rigs.


@ray
Looking for new card? Hehe.

@raymond5105
Lol.. No la! This will be the last upgrade already.. Unless can find 79GS with RM200 then upgrade again. But that will be in dream lo..

@edministrator
Ic.. Thanks for telling me about. Learning something new again. Ic.. still thought can get a good fps when gaming with 76GT & 2GB of ram. Who knows.. Gotta clock more!!

After changed all the thermal paste and rearrange my cable and then plus in some DIY fan. My GC temp drop by 2'c.. Is now run cooler then my procs. My cooler lacking of high cfm now.. Temp on idle @ 3.68'c around 41-43'c..

@KahLooN
Wanna let go ur X1950PRO to ray? I guess ray gonna get crazy if u sell it to him. Haha..

@fylon
Haha, if i sell my card to him then i no need use also.
Currently the card already come back from warranty and i haven't had any time to claim it back. Probably this coming friday will go lowyat.

Also try change to a noisier fan such as the delta, LOL. Sure will decrease the temp.

@fylon,79GS for RM200 i think that will be only happened after 2 to 3 years i guess.Then your 7600GT would be properly less than RM100 during that time.

@kahloon,your X1950pro really a great card.No need to o/c playing games at stock speed can feel the power already. By right now you are the king here in GC as your card is the strongest among all.

@edmin,that's for explaining the blind flash method.But my brother wasn't using this way to flash back the bios.

guys, i see tat u all love to OC your p4 rigs... too bad im on an intel board where the proc speed is locked...
there is one thing tat i can change though, the RAM timings...
i hav a pair of mixed KVR DDR333(hynix) and DDR400(kingston), wonder if i make them run at 2-3-2-6? is it safe to do so? will it burn my rams / mobo?
thnx again sifus =)

@fylon
my axp no oc(no chance), but i oc the gc. i oc my p4, downclock 73gt(no choice). wahahaha.....

@Edmin
you reminds me your quadro last time. wahahahaha..... blind bet + blind flash.

@redundant
it wont burn if running at that timing, but i think it hardly run at that tight timing unless your ddr333 hynix ram is CL2 high performance ram. correct me if wrong.

@raymond5105
Dont think in another 2 years time 79GS will drop and hit RM200 price thou. Until now.. A normal entry level 9550 also cost around 150 lo.. Haha!

@KahLooN
Haha.. Delta fan? Gosh! That is a kill man. Cant tahan for the noise. Ever saw my cousin use it on XP90 with fan control and run full speed! Phew.. The sounds is killing. But nice performance.

@Redundant
Owh? Then ya DDR400 only run at DDR333. Abit waste. Btw, make sure ur ram can cap the CL2. Normally VR are clocked to hold CL3 or CL2.5 thou. CL2 is kinda tight. If both of ur ram cannot take this timing after u set it, ur mobo wont get bootup. But fear not, just switch off everything and take off the bios battery to reset it.

@Kabu
Lol.. both of ur rigs ge vice versa. Able try to slot ur 73GT to ur Axp? Can that mobo hold the factory default clock speed? Hm.. Was wander how come P4P800-X were having alot of compatible issues. Ram ratio, GC speed..

@ReaperOfSoul
Hi.. Welcome back to visit this thread. Btw.. Ur proc temp seems scary abit. Ever think off get a better cooler?

Scary meh 51 C only wor...the 78C one someone told me its nothing ..

@fylon
haha... dont want la....lazy to cabut test. and 73gt is bottlenecking the gc, no point. not p4p800x having prob, is me out of luck.

@reaperofsoul
at 51C is still acceptable but keep an eye on the temp. even though not too high but need attention. if got chance, grab a 3rd party hfs to tamp the temp down. i believe you will enjoy the cooler cpu temp and quieter experience.
