and this

If no money, get CCF like me

user posted image

it does the job well...+- 3c from TRUE and not to mention half the price....RM150 extra just for 'ooOOooohhh' factor??  rclxub.gif
*
CCF fin too thin, and too soft.
Copper easy oxidice.

like Bob say, WC is a good setup. and if u own one, u can use it for a long time.

for d amount it cost, i beg to differ. sir antonio super value d9 ram can do equally well while cost less.  notworthy.gif
mind to share d new settin sir? i can sense record breakin soon w d post of d peekture of d pot. goin subzero eh?  brows.gif
el cheapo = cm hyper 212+, mid range = ccf, high end = none unless u can find proper mountin bracket for true which can let true seated @ east-west config.  nod.gif

most big boys coolin company like tr, xig, ocz failed in designin a proper cooler for amd...  shakehead.gif
2nd that...  biggrin.gif
tak nak to true, d rate of gettin oxidize is wayyyyyy to fast if compared to others, even true black oso d same...  rolleyes.gif
goin for i5 eh bro? too bad geil ultra ddr2133 not available there, else it's recommended coz so far it's doin not bad on my amd rig, which is overkill coz amd can never make use of those bandwidth that d ram is capable of.  sad.gif
*
this might shows that TRUE have a higher transfer heat... in another way, means a more powerful fan, so still failed, too noisy. doh.gif
Not going I5, i think will stick wif amd 1st.
next year will decide.
or playing xeon better.

for a thinner cooler, i think noctua will be good:

is d ram capable of 800 @ 6-6-6-x sir? i think d9 should have no problem, major concern is d volt needed only. mine can't do cas 6 which is very disappointin...  sad.gif
problem is, noctua costs a bomb bro...  sweat.gif

this is when i say money is not a problem laugh.gif
coz getting a wc, base on my setup, 1k something

d problems w/ wc are:
1. cost > not much ppl can afford forkin out > RM500~ 1k just for coolin only
2. hard to upgrade part by part > u must atleast have rad, cpu block, pump, let alone chipset & vga block, even barbs are expensive to poor ppl like me
3. must be extra careful w/ leak test > u aint wanna fried ya precious pc parts just becoz small mistake in leak test
4. hard to maintain
5. availability of parts

apart from all those listed, i have no complaint...  smile.gif

so that's y ppl willing to pay more for high price air cooling, if they hv budget. laugh.gif

i'd rather to have pc w/ "cool" (best bang for bucks) hardwares than to have pc w/ "cool" (w/ lotsa expensive stuffs like wc) look.  tongue.gif

@ teckhooi:

u mite grab a 2nd hand premium board @ RM400, if die die need brand new, RM400 is insufficient, i can assure u that. unless ur willin get biostar boards which nowhere near "performance" class...  yawn.gif
*
for modding ppl sure that is good, like in million dollar pc.
but the cost is too high. laugh.gif

i think even jetway board can't have such price, might be some albatron.

Demmmm, n here i was hoping to see more competitor chipset for the AMD platform to drive more innovation..  sad.gif

That means 780a and 980a are the last nVidia SLi chipset.
I think ATi fans should be happy, at last nVidia have to surrender also.
Dunno future will nVidia re-enable PhysX for ATi chip?

time to clock it. laugh.gif

finally found out why can't run 4 SP2004 together.
because, still not enuf memory to run... laugh.gif
running 3x Blend mode token 6.23G of ram.
and each memtest taking 1.84G of ram.
so if running 4x Blend, it will failed dramatically.

bro, 4 or 2 instances of orthos not goin to stress as much as an instance of p95. thou u mite knew it ledi, recommended memory allocation is 25% of ya physical memory.  nod.gif
533 @ 5-7-7-x is not acceptable sis, that's for ddr3...  tongue.gif

joke aside, how far u can go @ 5-5-5-x?  hmm.gif
*
a bit lazy to install prime95
those s/w juz a backup in thumbdrive, easy to use is more important than stressing.
mine d2 only; now testing on 5-5-5-18 @ 2.1v @960 wif 240x13 @1.4v. laugh.gif
it is a bit different when increase voltage, higher voltage to proc IMC perform better.
adding voltage to HT will increase bandwidth also HT clock above 2000, by setting auto mobo recognized it as 1.3v.
not sure is normal, coz not familiar wif am2 setting.
still testing various timing, voltage and frequency.

This thread suddenly has increasing number of Ultraman's meh tongue.gif

so far, M'sia Convergent can't compare with SG, from the speed of getting product.
might b some feedback needed...

but it looks like dfi doesn't really involve in push their board @ here.
u may saw asus board flooded the market.
but rarely saw dfi board, the design of dfi still tradition.

Off topic,
Ultraman Agul exist since Sept 1998. thumbup.gif
can u see the different of it, since it got v1 and v2

owh...okok..i give it a try then..
may i know the suitable voltage for my setting?
Vcore?
Cpu to NB?
NB 1.8v?
NB 1.1v?
SB 1.2v?
HT 1.2v? sweat.gif  sweat.gif
*
very depend, i think u should hv try out few combination.
or start from begining, set all to auto, speed to default, monitor wat value u get in windows.
then enter bios manually set those voltage, start to increase frequency and prime it to check stability
keep voltage maintain and raise by 5 mhz until u hit d wall.
after that u can start increase voltage for cpu, ram etc..., keep other default if not going too high frequency...

experience gain while u work on it
so juz try out urself.

think of changing my board and proc.
Mobo lack of mem settings and cpu freq setting weird, 240-243 will always detect as 240.61x13 only.

proc can't allow anything above 240.61/960 using 1:2 divider prime stable.
