mobo touches case causin short circuit?


my new year thread resolution is to spam less. w new toy in d40, i should be able to waste less bandwidth here...

if u know how to oc, u aint a noob bro...

i reckon some x3 720 can do 3.3/3.4GHz w stock volt, give it a try.

that board is capable of unlockin core(s) & run 'em stably bro.

yup bro, as simple as ABC...

btw, off topic a 'lil:

is ya pair of khx runnin on elpida -dj-e chippies bro? thinkin of hootin a pair of kvr runnin on d mentioned chips...

source: @ XtremeSystems

those havin issues are elpida hyper chippies rite? hope i made d rite choice coz i booked d ram ledi...

it's kinda cheap that's why i just hoot w/o thinkin, hopefully they'll do well on d upcomin ddr3 board...

no worries bro, ur not runnin memtest overnite so shouldn't be a problem.

no bro, not goin ddr3 so soon but since they com cheap i just grab. gonna sell off my single core 3800+, backup ram + xtra 120mm fans.

no more loan available...

not so sure bout older 790gx boards from biostar but 790gxe has an imc volt that max out @ 1.25v only...

i think that's referrin to nb voltage bro, which doesn't help much if nb freq is to be oc'ed, what matters most is d cpu-nb vid a.k.a imc volt. i mite be wrong thou...

as mentioned by bro digs, all are under t-series page, try out those available & verify 'em usin biostar hw monitor. u can even use d oc software by biostar to save u some times on rebootin.

optimal setting (for 24/7) for ht link & nb freq is around 2100MHz, with ht link multi 1x lower or equal to nb multi.

nb freq = nb multi * htt.

790gxe is a great board, d only compartment where it's inferior to dfi is ram tweakin capability, but we are talkin bout 790gx vs 790fx here. budget wise dfi is alot more expensive, so go figures...

pros:

1. an additional phase pwm @ cpu
2. an additional phase pwm @ memory
3. chokes are of better quality
4. green power utility (active phase switchin like msi i supposed) for better power efficiency
5. more clockable (my own opinion only)

con:

1. limited bios for core(s) unlockin (still new)

imo, either chipset or chip doesn't like ddr667 divider when htt > 230ish. mine can boot but w/ cmos cleared...

try to find out d max freq ya ram can do, then use ddr800 divider. if ya ram is good then u mite able to reach 280htt which is as ya wish. mine max out near 270htt & i'm on lousy twinmos value ram.

hmm... i had my hands on oem ram w/ elpida 6e-e chippies b4, only managed a 950MHz @ 5-5-5-x. gud luck in ya attempts then...

yup, at first i thought biostar board issue, then end up dfi (be it 790gx or 790fxb) oso d same... it's hard when one doesn't has a chip w/ unlocked multi...

it's ok to sacrifice some clock in order to maximize d bandwidth mate, give & take we must.

nice freq on d ram there, vdimm needed is?

biostar boards are known to be AOD unfriendly, i only use it for ACC adjust most of d time coz it's too unstable for even voltage adjustment. it's a fact that u gonna live w/ it as long as ur on biostar 790gx board. alternatively u can use biostar oc tool to tweak d volts...

blend test fail mostly related to mem, be it timing, vdimm or imc.

a fast google session tells me that it (d error ur gettin) could be page file related.

i use p95 & my habit is run custom, leave everything untouched (min @ 8k, max @ 4096) except amount of ram & time. amount of ram @ 1024MB (i'm on 4GB), time @ 1min (fastest way to complete 1 full cycle > near to 3 hours compared to 15Min which require almost 8 hours to complete 1 cycle). in case u dunno, p95 stresses systems more than orthos does.

u ain't need 28xx nb freq for 24/7 especially when no benchies are ran, a 2200MHz is more than enuf ledi...

what kinda user r u? r u those hardware swinger which changes hardwares alot or faithful lover who only upgrade once every few years?

if ur d latter then there's no harm goin for am2+, else, go for am3. w some luck in gettin an unlockable + stable x2 550be, u can actually save up some $$$ in gettin a real quaddy. d key is to get an unlockable + stable x2 550be.

hmm... i sense a "downgrade" is comin...

btw sis xixo, u want my twinmos ah?

yup, that's d spirit, if u get things done in a harder way, u tends to appreciate it more. i'm not khx hater but imo khx ddr2 aint perform up to d level of performance ram. how bout 26xhtt w/ ddr800 divider on ram? u can shave off some volt for d chip + fully utilize ya ram? just a suggest thou, coz i prefer a more balanced setup for 24/7.

from what i read last time, 785g is nothing but an overclocked 790gx. hmm... but w/ d cf capability coupled w/ sb710 which can do core unlockin tricks, sure it has some sellin points if d price comes cheap...

thinkin of goin back to "B" w/ ddr3 now...

woot, ur gonna be new x2 550be user soon mate? great coz d jr board is capable of runnin unlocked chips stably.

lol... ddr2 khx sure disappoint me... i got a pair b4 which can't do ddr2 800 @ 5-5-5-x even it's rated @ that freq...

off topic: r u from jb mate?

when i see a 790gx a3+ sellin @ RM355 only there was a voice inside my head tellin me i must try ddr3 in order to stay updated...

will see how's d sale of my Devil board 1st, if thing goes well then "B"ack for Good is inevitable...

R & R for ah_khoo nowadays:

1. must not have extra stuffs pilin in d room.
2. old stuffs must go b4 new stuffs come in.
3. no more loan unless old ones cleared.

u see my situation bro...

i thought ur sellin off ya raven? d $$$ can buy more than a board ledi...

yup, that's d latest price from kitkit in garage sale bro. u should have wait for few more weeks...

yup, d el cheapo ddr3 i reserved few days back... cheaper than my ex reaper which is sold @ $110...

i'm gettin more & more el cheapo nowadays.

from what i heard, 1gb module on dj-e is capable of doin DDR3 1800 @ 9-9-9-x on intel, if 2gb module can do DDR3 1600 @ 8-8-8-x that would be great...

can't wait next year bro, else my ddr3 will turn rusty...

u can't just put like that mah... u dun have platic type one meh?
