QUOTE(TaiZi@CCF @ Nov 7 2005, 05:49 PM) just got my DFI LP UD, and a 7800GT. i decided to go for UD instead of SLI-D because some one told me UD is confirm modable to SLI-D, and i will mod it one year later, since modding will void warranty! going to assemble it now, hope can get better result. The bridge will cost you at least RM50 and last time I checked, it's not easily available locally while a conductive pen from Jalan Pasar will cost you RM100+. At the end of the day, it is not cost effective at all buying an Ultra-D to mod it to SLI-D.Then there's also the risk that the mod will not be successful. |

QUOTE(ShuUemura @ Nov 7 2005, 09:17 PM) Whoa great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thx a lot everyone!!!!! Whoaaaa precious suggestion and guides! I really aprreaciate it!!!!! But then i haven't install any cpu fans. I use the orginally fans from the AMD box one...... Is it fine? Yeah, you should be able to do some overclocking by just using the stock HSF. I've just installed my X2 3800+ and I'm testing it using the stock HSF right now  |

QUOTE(babyelf @ Nov 7 2005, 09:23 PM) afaik X2s use the heatpiped AMD heatsink.. those are better than other stock amd heatsink.. should be fine for mild overclock That's for the higher speed X2. The X2 3800+ comes with the normal stock AMD HSF  |

QUOTE(hardyboyz888 @ Nov 7 2005, 09:37 PM) Owh.. I didn't noe.. LoL... So which rig you say is best for performance : price ratio..? AMD Athlon64 X2? Between the FX-55 and the X2 3800+, I'd definitely say the X2 since it's an all-round processor. Excellent for multi-tasking stuff and not to shabby for gaming. Waaay cheaper than the FX too. |

QUOTE(TaiZi@CCF @ Nov 7 2005, 11:49 PM) what a bad news, installed the new DFI-NF4-UD and 7800GT, when pluging the power suply, found out that the mobo is using 24 pin, then go to C-Zone to get a converter, but the fxxking thing is, when i on the power supply, not turn on mobo yet, the power supply will beep for long time, changed to another Enermax 300W, samething happend, I just dont know why the PSU will beep for long time. now take out the whole mobo from the case, put back the old system, everything work fine... i suspect it might be the converter problem, i would like to know is there any differences between 24-to-20 converter and 20-to-24 converter?? are there both same or different? the convertor wiring looks very strange when i compare the actually 20 pin and 24 pin PDU diagram.... the convertor looks like wired opposite way... Power supply beeps? Never heard that one before. Have you tried plugging in the 20-pin PSU directly to the motherboard without a converter? If you have a good PSU, it shouldn't be a problem to use a 20-pin PSU with the DFI board. My friend is using a 20-pin Antec and he's using it with his DFI board for a few months already without any problems. X2 3800+ overclocking update time...... Here's where I'm at right now with stock vcore and HSF. Will let it run overnight with two instances of Folding@Home and will continue to push it further tomorrow   |

My X2 is HOT! Looks like I need to watercool it before I can do some serious overclocking.  |

QUOTE(songhan89 @ Nov 12 2005, 12:43 AM) 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  . 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. |

QUOTE(ah_khoo @ Nov 13 2005, 02:38 AM) is this done usin d tt heatsink? gosh... 69'C is xtremely hot... Yeah, that's with the TT Golden Orb II. Gonna try to reinstall it now just in case it wasn't properly installed. **EDITED** Reinstalled the heatsink and reapplied AS5, same temps. It might go down a wee bit more in a few days time though once the AS5 settled in. This post has been edited by arj: Nov 13 2005, 07:15 PM |

Tak turun pon QUOTE(Lemon @ Nov 17 2005, 01:34 AM) My X2 capable to do 2.7Ghz but the problem is, I need to pump 1.52V in order to make it stable, my question are: 1. will it dramatically shorten the life of the processor if I continuously feed it with such a high voltage? 2. If the proc is dead because of overvolt, am i able to RMA it? 1. Nope, 1.52v is perfectly reasonable. 2. Ethically, no  |
