Did you connect all of these sockets?

Yes i connected all, only that the 24 pin connect is using a 20-to-24 pin convertor, i dont have native 24 pin PSU!....

and the very strange thing is why the PSU is beep?? this is first time i hear that the PSU will beeep...... and beeping for long time.... changed two PSU, Enlight 420W and Enermax 300W, both beep when using the convertor and connected to the DFI.

you sure it's your psu and not your motherboard beeping?

dude do yourself a favour and get a proper psu before complaining about the issue..

if you go over to dfi street the first thing they will do is ask you to change your psu before proceeding further.. and u'll make some of them pissed because they specifically said that u need a native 24pin and at least 480W to power the motherboard

the reason why a 20 to 24pin does not work is because the extra 4pin should come from INSIDE the psu and not an extension from the previous 20pin..

i've seen cases where the use of 20pin psu killed memory and motherboards..

it's up to you in the end.. my opinion is if you're blow so much cash on a dfi, x2 etc why save on the psu?

think of it as the heart of the system...

just my 2c..

Yeah, try to get a 24 pin PSU. The last 4 pins that you are missing supplies power to the PCIe slot if I'm not mistaken. Normally, a 20 pin PSU is not sufficient enough for a PC of your specs.

Abit out of topic here but just wanna ask how does X2 perform in folding..? Is it better compared to FX..?

Haven't done any comparison yet. Before you ask, I don't know how many points per day the FX-55 have been producing

arj hows the gold stuff u bought earlier today...

Will try to install them later and compare the numbers with the AMD stock HSF.

If you guys are wondering what neuvas is going on about, I just picked up a Thermaltake Golden Orb II HSF

i am wondering which CPU and RAM combination is good combination for OC.

Purpose: to produce a 1 full DVD (from DV format) in Pinnacle studio 9.4 in the fastest time possible (the old rig athlon 2400+ dual proc took 12 hours). multitasking ability needed.

Currently plan to use stock HSF first. Later may add heatsink.

Mobo: DFI NF4 lanparty UT ultra-D (no SLI)
HDD: WD 200GB sataII (no $$ for raptor) need lots of space. 1 hour video is 13GB.

procs:
1.AMD64 X2 (MANCHESTER) 3800+ (RETAIL) = RM 1280
2. AMD64 OPTERON 165 (DUAL CORE) SOCKET 939 (RETAIL) = RM 1260

ram:
1. CRUCIAL BALLISTIX 2048 PC4000 3-4-4-8= RM 1500
2. CORSAIR TWINX2048-4000 PC4000 3-4-4-8= RM 1180
3. CORSAIR TWINX2048-3200C2 PC3200 2-3-3-6= RM 1145

lol... arj, since when u r interested in those bling bling stuff?

i'd be interested to know too between the two which would be a better choice

Tukar selera once in a while

The general consensus is under 60 degrees for 24/7 usage, 60-70 if you're feeling lucky

hmm..alright, my X2 is running at 59 deg @ 2.4ghz @ 1.375V @ 2kRPM @ Full-load...

thanks, i feel safe now

edited: when i maxed my fan to 5600rpm (tm venus 12), the temp went down to 46 deg

My X2 is HOT!

Looks like I need to watercool it before I can do some serious overclocking.

2.5ghz!!!!

70C...you gonna kill ur X2 soon if no water comes in

What mobo and ram ya using?

It can pair up with FX-55 @ 2.5ghz right?

arj sifu , please advise me which hsf to get. Planning to get ninja sycthe but freaking big .

Hey, any software that can adjust my chassis fan speed or CPU fan speed?

speedfan.
just google it

Right now I'm using the X2 with DFI Ultra-D and OCZ VX.

The best heatsink would be the Thermalright XP120/XP90C. If you're looking for something less expensive then I can't really recommend you one because I'm a bit clueless about heatsinks.

other than XP-120/ XP-90, cheapo HSf tat can be compare to them is TT DIY PIPE101
last time b4 switching into XP-90, im using it & the performance almost same wif XP-90
IMO
