QUOTE(Cyrus2k @ Aug 25 2006, 10:33 PM) Thats my setting now  I already OC'ed it to 2.4GHz and ran through priming for 8 hours already  Maybe I will try to push it higher, but only scare the temp would go out of control Trying to tighten the timings for RAM now...  @Jealousy For RAM, you could get 1GB kit for Corsair XMS or Mushkin EM for that budget... As for cooling method, depends which type you want. You could get a pretty good air cooler for about RM200, for liquid cooling it will be much more higher. u r using original HSF or wat ? i think ram i will buy 512 DDR800 enuff liao , coz if i buy 1 more 512 ddr800 will out of my budget, so the cooling method i think i will use back my xp90c , izzit will be ok ?

QUOTE(Cyrus2k @ Aug 26 2006, 02:40 AM) Ya, original HSF  You could refer to my earlier post for the screen shot of my cpuz and temp  You are buying value ram or performance ram? Its better to make it dual channel  I'm currently using 2x512MB Mushkin DDR800 value RAM, so far so good.. As for PSU, I think its quite enough, since I remember I saw somebody in this forum using ACbel 450W and have identical setting with yours. But I guess its better for you to check how much energy your x800XT eats。。。 i think i will only buy one 512mb DDR800 mushkin brand , coz 1 ram already rm230 ,if buy 2 will out of my budget ...., and DDR800 the cheaper is mushkin. haihz.....duno want choose athlon x2 3800+ AM2 or athlon x2 3600 am2, and duno whether one 512DDR2 800 enuff , or buy two 512DDR 2 800 x 2 to put Dual channel...so fan ....need a lot of money ...

QUOTE(Cyrus2k @ Aug 26 2006, 12:20 PM) haha, just the same condition as mine  Anyway, if you are really tight on budget, then just get X2 3600+ since you could actually OC it to 2.4GHz or above (with better cooler). I saw an article before that manage to overclock X2 3600+ to 2.6GHz and the performance already nearly same as X2 5000+ As for the RAM, you could just get one stick, then later get another stick lor.  btw, ugpm  izzit big different between x2 3600+ and x2 3800 ? i just know is Catch memory different only

QUOTE(Cyrus2k @ Aug 31 2006, 05:22 PM) hmm, haven't try 32M yet... But, when I try to push my clock spd higher than 2.4GHz, the whole system become unstable and will restart automatically... Is this the sign of not enough Vcore? I tried to put 1.5 Vcore and push the clock to 2.6GHz, then my comp restart automatically while I try to stress test... cyrus2k! u r using am2 3600+ rite? how the performance? catch memory only have 256 x 2 wor...izzit good?
