I just got my AM2 rig 2 days ago....i m kinda new to all these stuff..learning bit by bit... ..i wish to learn more about OC.anyone know where can i get a basic tutorial for OCing? kekeke...here is my rig

Am2 athlon x2 3600+
Gigabyte M55SLI-S4
1 GB Corsair ddr2 667mhz
Msi 7600GT 256mb ddr3
17"Philips lcd monitor
160Gb sata2 Western Digital
Logitech keyboard and optical mouse
Lg DvdRw
Power logic magnum 225
Altrix 5000 casing

You must be blind not to notice, right in front of your face

sorry to say..ur power logic is not suitable for overclocking...
btw..anyone can suggest me nice am2 sli-mobo...(good overclock&cheap)
DFI infinity ultra2 M2 good or not?

why u all DFI mobo so expensive but this mobo just support ddr2 677 only......
no support ddr2 800 wor..

in their site maybe they are stating like that.. but i think DFI support 800ddr...
plz also notice only X2 AM2 support full DDR800 not single core AM2..

DDR2-667 or DDR2-800, that depends on memory controller, not motherboard. I run mine ar DDR2-800 no problem at all, if you saw my screenshot of SuperPi 32M stable a few pages earlier.

Peace be upon you all.

Anyone here use MSI K9A Platinum? I've read the review of this board at Anandtech and it seems that the overclocking potential is huge.




Is there anyone who know how much this board cost? I'm now hunting for suitable mobo for my new rig, which possibly consist of AM2X2 3600+, 7600GT, 1Gb single 677 RAM (Add another 1Gb later for dual channel).

I will definitely going to overclock this X2 which is possible to OC to ~2.4-2.6 region by air cooling. I fell in love with M2N-E but the VDimm as you guys pointed out just max at 1.95 - that is huge limitation for OCing.

If the price of MSI K9A Platinum is right, i think I'll go for it.

The MSI K9A is not available here as far as i can see, just don't get M2N-E if u wanna OC, one of the worst board for OC

Too bad. I think I can just ask any shop which sell MSI products and ask for K9A platinum @vailability & price.

In the other hand, Epox 570SLi is also an excellent overclocker (based on anandtech review). However, I highly doubt I can find this mobo anywhere in Malaysia.

Biostar TF550
good?
how much priceses?

Yo i m new to all these stuff...then what psu should i get to do Overclocking??as for how many Watt? why do we need good psu to OC huh? sorry i m a newbie..

Another question...why my proc doesnt display "code name" in my CPU-Z...lol..

My bugdet MOBO = RM300 - 400
my proc will be AMD Althon 3600+
so what mobo OK ..
must have ... Built-n VGA

Biostar TForce 6100-AM2 ... you wont regret.

Cheap psu often undervolts under stress. Stress here does not refer to your system load, but more on how the whole system struggles to get quality voltage when overclocked or running out of specification.

With cheap psu, +12v rail may only provide 11.3v under overclock condition.

Enermax..Acbel...FSP...Sliverstone...OCZ...
for OC min 450w la

DFI Infinity NF ULTRAII -M2 is a good mobo
nice to oc and cheap
but i dislike this mobo ori no free SLI Bridge

thanx dude..planning to get this mobo....
this mobo no free sli bridge becoz not officially support sli..correct me if i'm wrong

Well here's my rig SuperPi 32M at 2.3ghz :



And here's my rig SuperPi 32M at 2.4ghz :

and this mobo punya bahan is very good
better than other brand mobo and cheap
