im planning to get these for gaming and overclocking soon;
AMD AM2 X2 3800 Biostar TForce 550 Corsair XMS2 1GB kit PC6400 DDR2 800 Galaxy 7900GS 512MB GDDR3 my questions are; 1. is it worth for me to grab ddr2 800? or maybe i should get ddr2 667 instead? 2. which motherboard is very good in terms of oriented budget (under RM300) - Abit KN9 or Biostar TForce 550? |

QUOTE(zamree7 @ Jan 15 2007, 02:19 PM) ya.. as others forumer said biostar is a great choices around that budget.. ek..no stock?thats weird  but. last time i cant find tforce 550 at lowyat as all out of stock.. then they suggested me tforce 570U which is newer chipset and still a good mobo and the price i get for that mobo is RM325 only..   ive searched for 550 last week..and almost all shops have it..and it costs around RM290.. |

QUOTE(penapis @ Jan 24 2007, 11:20 PM) this PC that i used to reply to this topic running on TForce 550 with AM2 3800+ retail with egate 7300GT ddr2... [my wife using the wireless laptop, so i'm locked in PC room] and everything really nice....with that amount of budget.... mobo rm280 + AM2 rm494 + gpu rm308 not running this PC too much on games...coz doesn't have time after work.... and very steady OC up to 2.3 currently...and still do some OC to get it higher...but dont know the result yet... dont know about 570..coz didn't assemble it...not much comment.. and shoot straight to 590...that currently working on... i wont go for branded one if i have limited budget...coz the purpose is the same = playing game + donloding + interneting + some office works... just an opinion.... [attachmentid=185847] this pic on 550 QUOTE(allenultra @ Jan 24 2007, 11:26 PM) kalakatu, consider the board soulfly using. thanks for the suggestion given For an around RM300 board, that will be the best overclocking board available.(if u into OC) If not, just get the cheapest option available. so i think ill grab TForce 550 then.. but just one more question - can CM Hyper TX fit nicely on TForce 550 without problem?

QUOTE(allenultra @ Jan 24 2007, 11:35 PM) tf550? DFI Infinity nF-M2 is wayyyy of from my current budget..Not the DFI Infinity nF-M2 ? Is HyperTX bigger than XP90? XP90 fit nicely on my TF550. I would get the DFI Infinity nF-M2 if it available when I bought my tf550. plus i like the appearance of biostar more.. yes hyper tx is bigger,plus higher..  thats why im asking here if it can fit nicely without colide with my side panel |

QUOTE(allenultra @ Jan 24 2007, 11:53 PM) If you don't mind, would you get the specs of XP90? here u go bro UTP internet connection is slow like snail now. I'm using casing Coolermaster Centurion 530. Thermalright XP90 + 38mm think fan. And there are around 5cm space between the fan and the side panel. Hopefully the height of [xp90+38mm+50mm] > 136.5mm  http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/main_product_xp90c_p4.htm |

QUOTE(allenultra @ Jan 25 2007, 12:02 AM) Well....u can calculate it urself don't you? yup..ill calculate it.. 75+38+50 = 163mm Its way more than the height of Hyper TX. Unless u using micro ATX casing, I don't see a reason hyper tx will hit the side panel. well actually i saw some pictures showed cm hyper tx fitted on a mobo,and its so huge and tall.. anyway thanks for ur reply..really appreciate it |

QUOTE(teckhooi @ Jan 25 2007, 12:12 AM) @allenultra maybe he replied considering my budget is below RM300..Why No One Take 570 & 590? Or 570 Is Not Worth To Take? 570 is priced above RM300 i guess |

QUOTE(camedemac @ Feb 1 2007, 05:08 PM) yeah.. bcoz after overclock, your system seems to be 'change' a little bit. i've experiencing this before with my tforce550. For the first time i assemble all the items, see the clock speed, vcore, htt etc throguh cpu-z, it shows all correctly. e.g Core speed 2000.0MHz, HTT 200.0Mhz, vcore stay at one voltage only. but after overclock, then set it back to stock, it's not stay at the stock speed. *sorry for the bad english. not in the good mood  QUOTE(coolblade @ Feb 1 2007, 05:15 PM) @camedemac but it never happened with my previous athlon3000...so, is it will effect the mainboard, cpu, ram, gfx after overclocking? I am planning to overclock my computer, but after read kalakatu's post here, i am a bit afraid.. any workaround? my last venice will go back to the normal setting after set it back to default.. but this 3800 am2...i dunno... any bad effects with these non-default setting? |

so far this is only the result..maybe will push more next time..
currently no time to run the stress and stability utility...will do it later 
update - but sometimes the voltage will go lower...weird???

QUOTE(IEIE @ Feb 2 2007, 12:46 AM) can i kno biostar TForce 550 n 570U different alot ??? not a big difference..570U has more SATA and newer chipset..which 1 is more recommended ?? and of course the new one is more recommended.. QUOTE(davidletterboyz @ Feb 2 2007, 03:35 AM) That's bcos biostar tforce will revert vcore reading to VID when it exceeds 1.5V. Tforce tends to overvolt than undervolt....u must be putting 1.475V at BIOS...am i correct? yup..how do u know that... plus,my vcore keep changing between 1.488v and 1.25v.. any idea whats goin on?
