nice fan. quiet and bling bling. The airflow also not bad. i would recommand this fan if you aim for silent.

now idle at 38C+-, load prime <55C @ 3.2GHz

Yup, yet the performance is bottleneck by s478 due to cpu, agp, ddr1 etc . Like what irangan use 1950pro on his 3.4C. Not really worth it for the price/performance. Unless you are using s939 then more juice can squeeze. Correct me if i am wrong.

Definitely will bottleneck
For AGP, best is to use the AMD64 with newer GPUs

wow, rather spend big bucks for hi-end AGP graphics (should be around 1K or more), rather spend that cash buy mobo, ram and CPU, best bang for the buck. (of course not c2d rig, but A64 or X2).

everyone's demand on games is different la, kawan. Some would not spend over than 300(just like me ), some game freak willing to spend 2k++ on gc. Agp highend is not worth for sure. high price and bottlenecking the real performance by old tech really a pain in neck when compare to other rig that using the same gc.

I've gotten the rams with kingston chip in it,not the mosel vitelics.yeah it looks like the one above.so correct lah

maybe your ram and mine just cant pair well or it could be my mobo's fault.

now my pc is at 2.6Ghz stable overnight.havent really stress it out yet though.

i found this forumer selling his 3.2C HT 512/800 proc...
but i wonder what revision and stepping he has...

anyone know which mobo are suitable to play with s939 with agp(amdx2)
i may want to try amd 3800+(X2) which will only cost me rm150 but
i need to find a good mobo with agp(to couple with my 1950pro agp).
i have no ideas on amd mobo with agp slot. some said DFI is the best.
could u guys recomen some for me.

thanks

..... still have 939 proc around? o thought amd has discontinued the production. But if really can get a 939 rig, it should let your 1950pro shine.

Wow.... Something even better than Gecube x1950xt AGP. haha.. Wondering how much it going to cost since x1950xt AGP going to cost more than 1300 already. haha..


What is the problem with you? Spam to gain more post?

Keep your useless comment to yourself. Read this thread's Title if you are lost. This thread is for people that still using socket 478. People here are not stupid and they know exactly what they are doing. Dont need you to advise them on how to spend their money.

Previously, I spent a lot of money of previous 478 rig. People like you said I am stupid but like I care, the bottom line is I enjoy it.

Oh yeah... your x1950pro will shine with those x2 (if you still can find it). haha

wao, 1950pro cost 1300?? i didnt know the price is that high. i though is around 1k+ a bit.

relax man, he is just point out his point of views. Like i said before, everyone's demand is different.

if i have 1959pro, i will eyeing for 939 rig to pair it. No doubt that it is the king of agp and ddr1 era.

@overclockalbert
Is your 3800+ X2 is s939? as i know it is quite rare and expensive for X2 s939 and s940. i am quite blur on x2 on 939. mostly is AM2. ops....i think i off topic. XD

maybe i'm wrong about the 3800+ X2. maybe it's a am2 socket. i'm getting it from a frend actually. still waiting for it to reach my hand.
anyway, no hope for me i think. just stick to what i have.....
if it's am2, then i just sell it off.

i refering to x1950xt from gecube. hehe

it's D1 stepping... it's all here.... Procfinder err...it's don't state what revision lor .... maybe have to ask the seller ....

hey bro, sorry to have offended you, just wanna clarify that I never said anything about stupidity, etc, or purposely 'spam' to gain post count, i just got carried away in stating my personal opinions. never meant any disrespect. will stick to thread title next time. no hard feelings, k? i will b more sensitive in future postings.

Just wanna add, I do believe current mid range to high end AGP cards are able to breathe in new life for our s478 rig, or to extend the capabilities of our rig. That's why I got myself a 7600GS AGP for my P4 3.06Ghz in the first place.

Anyway, back to the s478 topic, here is an interesting temperature chart taken from xbitlabs with P4 HT enabled and disabled, and found an increase in temp when HT disabled (especially in idle mode).



more detailed info on the following site for reading pleasure, just wanna share it with all the s478 enthusiasts here. I wonder if the result also reflects the users that have non HT P4 cpu?

i myself feel tempted to get a cheap 939 board and perhaps a X2 3600+ just for fun

sometimes really get annoyed by the bottleneck and slow performance

gonna try to push my proc to 3Ghz now

wa.... nice spirit.

939 not cheap la.......last time it was highend rig. unless is 754 but the performance is not that good.

754 also phase out now with the so-so performance. And yet, our s478 rigs are still alive and kickin'. Need more ways to fully utilise what we have now, like adding RAM, better VGA cards, sound card, etc.

Its still good for many applications, multimedia centre, moderate gaming machine, internet surfing, file server, etc. Many many ways to put our s478 rig into good use. I don't consider P4 2.4Ghz and above 'slow' for day to day usage. The HT technology also helps in CPU load balancing, which is very helpful (cheapskate way to emulate dual core, )

Mods and improvements can be done for S478 rig, like silent the system by using sound dampening materials, silent fans, change stock cooling, case mods. Definately worth the time and effort spent on it, cause I've done it on mine, priceless satisfaction! I trust many of s478 owners here have done the same too.

I am using P4 Socket 478 motherboard.I want to know what is the fastest available processor for my motherboard.My motherboard is Intel D865GBF.

Thanks.

the fastest proc for ur mobo is P4EE 3.4Ghz....

I want to sell my rig...anyone interested?
