Thats Insulting...major overkill for an office PC..
Take my F2 also better..sell you for half the price of that F3..

This one almost 100% guarantee is windsor F2. If its a F3 it a super ultra screwed up one, can almost consider faulty already.

No, she's not around..if not he can't come at all..

Count me in, need to collect my proc too.

No @meno got his because epo pulled out.

Hey, if you still want to swap the ram, pass it to one of those going for the TT tomorrow if you're not going yourself. I'll pass the D9DPN to your friend there too.

LYN is slow, so contact me by my hp 016-4936208

I might be able to fetch him, but only if no one else can. Have to go down then come up again.

All are good, but the Biostars then to be horribly limited in vDimm. Memory overclocking is a pain in the ass. Don't bother getting D9GMH/D9GKX to use with these boards. Abit board got its perangai as usual, everything will work, but there will be something that just loves to go 'mogok' once in a while.

How about 3GHz while undervolted? I'm planning on having the best power consumption/performance AMD set.

Its normal for a mobile processor. It only runs at the actual speed when the processor is under load, otherwise it reduces clock speed to lower power consumption.

He will not be able to go above 862 for Core until the modded bios for 3850 is ready.

Modded bios only available for 3870 now, by techpowerup. They're still working on the bios for 3850. 8800gt and 3870 (modded bios) both at full overclock on stock cooler and no voltmods, perform roughly about the same.

Btw, I have a correction to make, at stock speed the 3870 will still lose to the 2900pro/XT under certain settings that utilise heavy memory bandwidth. But for most cases, the 3870 wins. At stock speed the 3850 will lose in all benchmarks to the 2900XT (not sure about 2900pro), but when both are overclocked, the 3850 and 3870 will pull up even with the 2900XT, perhaps even win (even without modded bios, but on stock cooler).

The 3850/3870 use a 256 memory bus instead of the 512 bus found on the 2900pro/XT, thats why they don't leave the 2900s in the dust.

Oh yeah guys, those who want me to try replace the caps on your stuff please drop your stuff with me together. That way I can just go shopping for the caps all at one shot, don't want to make multiple trips hunting for caps.

Well, I'm at home most of the time, doing a lot of clearing up of my PC stuff. Hardnut is also sending me some stuff to repair (caps also). Give me a call when you want to call over. I think you roughly know where I stay, if not I can direct you on the phone.

Looks like a whole gang of broke fellas here..supposed to go work at PC fair but no time to even go asking, never mind actually working there..
Don't even have enough money on hand now to pay for a decent meal..gotta get my garage sales going..

Haha, we must be the stupidest robbers ever then..discuss plans where the victims will hear about it..

The other day I baru taruh the guy at Swisspac, went there to get pricelist, he come and ask me what I'm looking for..to humor him I named some stuff I'm looking for my friend's upcoming C2Q setup, and I was careful to mention each part very specifically (Like XMS2, I asked for version 1.x only, cos its the only one using Micron chips). He was standing there totally gaga..

On full overclock, the E2xxx will make your F3 look like child's play..30% faster clock to clock..at a typical 3GHz the E2xxx will be roughly equivalent to a 3.9Ghz Windsor..

Well, to put things into perspective, a fully overclocked F3 or C2D/PDC is already enough to not bottleneck any graphic card currently available today. For a gaming system, either processor combined with the best graphic card money can buy is effectively among the best gaming systems available today. Even quad cores don't give much improvement in most games over the dual cores I've mentioned.

Got around to overclocking my F3 finally..damn its fun..
Gonna post up my OC log today or tomorrow, its a pretty long one, should I post it here or at the AM2 board?

Use speedfan or everest. Speedfan you'll have to identify most readings individually (it shows lke fan1, fan2, vcoreA, vcoreB, temp1, temp2).

8800GT is better if you want performance without overclocking, 3870 is better when overclocked (need modded bios though). Or you could just get a 3850 with good video ram and overclock it, its pretty much identical to the 3870 except the clock speed is set lower (but can easily clock to 3870 speed or more ).


8800GT is quite hot yeah, anyone seen the new NV92 8800GTS yet? Looking at the official spec by Nvidia it looks all set to kill possibly even the 8800 Ultra. But 8800GTX confirm mati liau And its way below RM2k (then again, I can go ahead and dream that money fall from the sky )

Can la..last time the voltmod repair I did on a board I sold to shahril chin..pretty tough cos got 3 tiny resistors side by side and I only want to solder to 1 of them..

Not quite yet..but maybe someday..

Well, 800mhz ram is cheaper, and often they use the exact same components as the 1066Mhz version (in fact, its quite possible to find 667Mhz ram using chips found in 1066 ram). 1066 ram is just already overclocked versions of 667/800 ram. As long as the components are the same, the overclocking end result is more or less the same regardless of the original speed.. This also applies to all other PC components like CPU, GFX, mobo.

You may need to increase the NB voltage, but only as a last resort when the fsb will not go high enough to achieve your desired ram speed.

Jy14 is selling some nice D9G**, I think its sourced from an A-data batch (includes pics of ram chips). Check his thread, I can't on the internet connection I'm on right now.

Decided to revive an old thread..

If there's a TT, count me in.
Might need transport this time though, will be in USM already, no more car..
