hmm..
thanks for the advice..

yeah i get your point but i feel for what u r paying for a decent WC setup, the performance is just average if u dont simulate a cold environment though. Coz the system does work off a radiator so having cooler fins will help cooling at a higher rate

Not dat expensive... Around RM20-25 can get 1 tube.... N its cheaper than MX-2....

But, apply diffrnt or better thermal paste juz makes a little diffrnt decrease in ur temp.... It depend also like VCore n casing air flow.... ask @a1098113 he knows better than me....

me just noob la, lol.

Ye laa tu...

So mr a1098113..
should I buy the thermal paste above?

good for you bro, but as a matter of preference, i still prefer flasing using cmd prompt rather than windows..success rate is much higher..


waaa.. your 2180 is a charm dude.. mine ca only get up to 2.9 ghz at 1.36 vcore.. bad bad bad batch..huhuh..

might as well downgrade to e2160 or maybe stay put for now and get a penryn for my future upgrade..and that upgrade will most probably going to occur in 1-2 years time...hahahha.. no money maa.. i OC because of limited budget to get high speed processors.

Its up 2 u bro..... U think worth it or not...

@huh
i can do 3.0ghz at 1.30 Volts with my e2140.

@haz
anyways yeah you can get tx2 thermal paste, its a good buy.

Aik...??? How come??? 3.0ghz also cannot reach???

that is a fact.. OC is a gamble and luck play an important role here.. sometimes you will a get a diamond(like yours) or a dull stone (like mine) which is why 1 CANT compare a proc DIRECTLY to anouther proc.

a1098113, that is even better..unlike my proc...

and about the bios flashing, bad flash MUST flash the bios again from the cmd prompt since they cant even boot up to windows.. forgot to add about that..please learn about bios flashing before trying to flash your bios or else you will end up with a dead mobo.. im not trying to scare anyone from flashing their bios, but please do your research first before doing anything.. knowledge is power..

i believe that bios flashing is something thats easily done if u can do it patiently and u follow instructions. But yes read up.

I honestly think OC is not about gambling. OC is about making calculated efforts in trying to achieve a parrticular goal. Luck only plays a little role in this art. OC for me is an art that is easy to learn but difficult to master. Even when it boils down to picking a processor, its about experience and your knowledge depth. Good OCers will research the processors, learn about their voltages, behaviours, steppings, its of course tedious to find a gem, but its worth the effort. Effort is not luck or gambling.

With what that u have, there should be little goals set for your self. No one reaches big OCing without planning. PPl plan and work out wat settings are needed for what processor. This is where you should read up and sometimes u can learn something new too. The essence of OCing is not about who reaches the highest clocks with the lowest Vcores, thats just showmanship. Its about purpose. like i said in one of the threads.

Every proc is a child by itself. Meaning they are not the same in character and behaviour. so sometimes blindly following other ppls settings will not work for you. YOu have to study and work it out by yourself. What others have done only gives you a little knowlegde of what is possible but the whole chunk of learning comes from experiment.

So OC is not about luck, its about daring to be different and being extreme. Most importantly, be humble about it. Two cents worth of advice from me. Have fun!

FULAMAK.... Bro a1098113 sudah berbunyi....

@huh?
It means maybe ur proc can go higher or like mine..... reach 3.0ghz also ok laa..

Hmm.... I wonder where is Kucingfight n Clawhammer... They r da pros...

@rozz

true true clawy bro and KucingFight are the pros.. i am still learning and noob wonder where are they.

they are out on saturdays, getting drunk and laid, they are humans too you know hahahahahahha

kidding la hahaha xDD

@huh
i try to create 1 win98 bootdisk, but also cant boot the cmd promt.
when i power on, my mobo direct in the award boot menu....
then it appeasr Drive A no media....
i try to insert bootdisk, it said non system disk ....

i'm feedup....
what should i do beside send to rma

Gosh... MemSet screwed up my motherboard I've lost control of the FSB (Stucked at 200MHz no matter what I set in BIOS ) Any Gigabyte users experience this problem?

@dream

good la that number diediediedie is everything working fine now?

Lol... Yea, everything is working fine now. Currently playing with 1:1 after reading bryan's post I can even drop my RAM's voltage back to 2.0v (Might try 1.9v but lazy to run OCCT after every different settings) since it's only running at a speed less than DDR2 800MHz

u can experiment, try 1:1 and then try with dividers

see how much is the actual gain, although all my tests were synthetic, you may try with say 3dmark06 or play some games
