KMplayer ah? Can stand is a say is a stand alone player with build in codec. By right it comes with alot internal codec build-ed in it. One of my fav player.. U can add in extra codec such as coreAVC as well. Then just need to did some changes on the setting to uncheck the internal and use the external 1 that u add in to decode the files.

Haha, not OC but more like how much it can take before it goes crazy

msut be cool to know such things

haha if not , it really goes crazy then POOF

@Jcsy

Haha.. No one do blind OC man. Always read the on the guide and find the maximum point before start anything.

haha yes agreed, even i do that

forgot liao, i have left OC scene for 2 years liao

i realized the performance gain i get now is not worth our hardware due to age, performance vs cost, bottlenecks and possible mistakes

@Jcsy

Yea.. Actually not much different with OC and none OC. Just for personal sanctification i presume. Quite OC for life now.. Somehow just did a little bit OC for benchmark purpose. Other than that, stock all the way. Btw, less OC means:

- Less heat produce thus cut down global warning.
- Less power consumption thus cut down eletric bill.
- Pro-long hardware life thus save our pocket from burning holes.

me no more OC. a properly tweaked system and OS is always the best way to go for our veteran system. long live s478, may u serve me well in the years to come. happy cny guys....

me back to stock loh...lazy to OC liao, new platform will continue overclock again XD

Seems like the only one who o/c is only me. Butrarely use my pc,most of the time would be 2-3 hours weekday and 12hours weekend. I don't tweak my system too as i feel the performance of the proc is sufficient to me. Just now i try to load in 3.0E proc to Asus mobo,the proc temp while idle is about 43-44 degree C,quite warm compare to Northwood. I'm using back my Northy stock heatsink fan,not dare to make any o/c. While gaming,the temp will rise up to 54-56 degree but still ok with me.

i'm still with you raymond , OC my 2.8 to 3.5ghz, as i need that speed.
my abit IC7 is the successor. Serve me well thru these years.
really proud to be the owner.

happy CNY guys

dont let ur ang pow make u join the dark side

stay on the s478 platform

Happy CNY to all of you
Well, for one thing overclocking is definitely addictive. The thought of getting extra performance without any additional cost is definitely something profitable, no? What definitely comes with overclocking are new performance stuff to cool things down which definitely offsets the savings that you earn with pushing your hardware in the first place.

I just got my S939 AMD X2 to replace my P4 3.0E for a very, very low price, as of now doing test runs on it and to see what has to be changed to get heat off, fast but with a miniscule budget of course. If you're gonna spend big on cooling you're better off allocating that cash for better parts.

Very happy to hear that you are still with S478 proc. Very nice one,i just change my 3.0E with 2.8C on my Asus mobo. Now temperory o/c to 3.22GHz and run otthos stress with priority 7. So far so stable. My prescott core is really hot as it may goes up 60 degree C while in full load in Orthos. With my 2.8C,max only 50 degree C on it.

O/c needs good cooling to prolong the hardware life span. S939X2 ? Seems like it not a good idea to replace with. Perhaps you may move to AM2 socket??

Sole reason why I got it because it was really cheap. S939 well might be a dead end, but let's see if I can give it a little 'pressure' to work alongside C2Ds...

Sadly, max my setup can go stable is till 3.43Ghz nia....3.6Ghz it won't boot no matter what

But its okay, future rigs will have more overclock headroom :haha:

3.43GHz is a bit low on the Northwood. Now i clock my 2.8C to run at 3.36GHz. Just have a Zero Hour with it,very stable.

Yeah. Planning to lah, but until now still no green light from my dad economy aint exactly good right now, so have to tahan as long as i can.

Encoding 3 movies to fit on my ipod takes almost 5 hours on my rig. crazy man.

Haha plan to migrate only, but no action taken yet. Waiting till funds are available then only can migrate




Happyy Ox Year to all!!

me too. waiting and waiting for the right time to upgrade:lol:
probably will op for a cheap c2d or am2. but so far am2 seems cheaper. but have to wait for green light from dad also, or for the old hardware to give in. otherwise gotta use my own $$$

The thread is getting back to hot now. Anyways, wish u guys happy niu year and have prosperity life! And also, dun forget.. Long life P4!

go AM2+ la... next time go AM3 and DDR3 not so chor also...

Happy New Year!!!

Mooooo...
