side effect of lapped the IHS 

Well,nothing to regret.There no other F3 that can be replaced now.

straight away remove the IHS already 
but... dunno they solder the IHS to core or just put some thermal paste material there for this F3 proc.

p/s: rumours say with proper mod , you can increase the L2 cache from 2 x 512kb to 2 x 1MB 

i dunno 
just heard that this 3800+ originally is 2 x 1MB L2 cache.
But AMD did some good jobs , made it become 2 x 512KB liao 

Just got my new proc and mobo....... Any guide how to overclock mine here

looks like make it on today is a little bit rush and unplanned
what about friday night? 
should be nice right? 
place at KL central, or any other suggestion?

hehe.. just give a lil bit of time.. i`m sure all kuchings will make a tt soon
hehe.. long time i`m not joining tt. hey kuchings jom buat tt

i can't seems to overclock my Sapphire 3850 256MB DDR3.. any software to recommend?

Db,inform us if its the mobo touchdown in local store.
Good looking mobo with integrated VGA.

Bye guys, Intel user now. Tata.

You also want to join bro?

Thanks for da info Maybe later will try to reach 2300Mhz first
Wanna stick to this for a while, will try to push further later

Wan To Ask ??  Got ppl Post their Oc resuft with Biostar TA770 A2+ Mobo ???

Workin great Just start pushing my proc today

Why ?? Ur Ram Cannot OC ??

Well, first of all , you have to ask yourself
You need the watercooler for short benching or you need it for long term usage?
I assume that your target is to overclock to 3.6GHz above.
Sorry to say but i don't think normal watercooler capable to push the clockspeed to that high. 
We are using chilled water cooling in order to get 3.7GHz above.
and that definitely cannot be used for long term.
(Impossible to top up ice every few minutes for weeks right?  )

For chilled water cooling , that's less expensive as you don't have to get whole set of watercooler.
You need a pump , a waterblock and two tubes , that's all.
Strong and cheap pump can be obtained easily from fish shop.
submarine pumps are recommended for chilled water cooling
For waterblock, get any moderate above level waterblock will do.
You can try to seek for those jet impingement waterblocks.
Pressurized water flow in the mini channel and definitely you get enhanced cooling performance 

Some says isolation is a must for chilled water cooling, but for me i don't think so.
Just let the motherboard stand 90 degree and i doubt that any condensed water can make contact with your motherboard. ( The method was demonstrated by bro DJ.ericzzz a while ago)   

Of course, you can always go for whole set of water cooler for long term,
and take off some parts for chilled water cooling when needed.
In that case, you can have a look at swiftech store.
Their waterblocks and pumps are well-designed and performance proved
(Especially the D5 pump , lord of all pumps  )
Basically can forget about C**lermaster and Th**malt*ke watercooling products
The price for product is high end but the quality / performance is...ahem ahem 

nice setup..
but it`s normal ka if the setup without casing?

is it ur office or ur ehem2

My manual left at college. Thats why sakit kepala abit. Thanks, will try it and let u guys know the results.

if 2 led is no light meant CPU/ Chipset error , if left led oni appear meant memory error and if right meant GC error.
