Haha.. Why not give a test on intel burn test? That beast 2 mins priming is enough for finding the error for OC ady.

@Kabu
No no... IBT can on run old school rigs as well. Here the benchies... Hand quite itchy liao.. OC abit abit. Push my working rigs from 2.4Gh to 3.0Gh today, but keep got restarting issues. i guess vcore not enough. So down to 2.8Gh and run IBT. Anyone care to tell me the save vcore for Northwood?

Leve 1 is max stress And i found that, IBT seems like only utilized the virtual core (correct me if im wrong).



@bai1101
Whats ur prime setting? Did ur rigs on OC mode? Hm.. IF mobo issues then u gona prepare liao.. I guess should me the PSU.. Whats ur voltage reading? Try get the screen shot from speed fan.

Lol.. IBT really burn the procs eh... My rigs got around 12 degree temp rise during priming. At aircon room usually is 28-30'c for my system but once it got BURN, temp is around 40-42'c..

Seems like P4P8x has better OC setting.. In bios P4P8x can have vcore range up to 1.85v if im not mistaken.

Haha.. But for old schools, gaming experience is far important than benchies right?

Pity windows XP only able to detect 3.5G / 4G ram.. Time to move on vista!

@Ray
Yea.. Just done house keeping. Haha.. Time to migrate.. Grabbed an old version of blink blink tracer. Using 2nd generation of BH-5 chip.

Ya prefer nvidia cos the driver issues?

@Ray
Din manage to get the card? So sad.. But well, recently there are alot of EOL item on sales! Dun give up man.. Sure there will be second chance.

Yea. Running Vsita x64 now.. Finally ram are fully optimized. Hm.. Nop! DDR2 punya BH-5.. D9GMH! Haha.. That gem can do from 667 boost to 1200 without sweat.

Haha.. Yea! quite alot o EOL item on sales. I got my DFI P965-S for RM200.. The best 965 mobo ever.. Can do BSEL without mod the processor. Hehe..

O/T: Yea.. D9GMH can hit almost 2x of its stock speed without sweat.. Haha!

@bai1101
Haha... Same case as my office rigs. PSU always give the abnormal problem..

Huntkey psu not bad also right? The price quite reasonable as well..

Thought AVR issues were mentioned before? I think few post back. Its around 70-100. Depend on model and brand. Recommended will be APC or KOSS.

@ColourShadow
what mobo are u using?

@dlwl
Ray is aiming for 6600GT which is below 100.. But just pity he is 2 secs later and the good offer been snatched.

6 series card use to have heat issues.. Even my old 68GT on idle is around 6x'c... When load near 80'c..

2.5-5-5-15 seems like the time is for DDR2 and its quite weird for DDR anyways, that what im asking ColourShadow what mobo are he using.

Haha.. LG775 P4 belongs to here?

Anyways, the about the siggy, if im not mistaken its from warcraft trailler. Din u see the Orc?

Get the highest end of AGP card, 79GS or ATI1950 series sure can last u for another few years in gaming.

Haha.. Say TAK NAK to SM3 liao if upgrade, better make a hugh jump! DX10.1 + SM4.0/SM.50..

Haha.. OT lo.. Yea! Cause i saw it before in the game shop during the time i went window shopping.

@Ray
Yea that why i say, if going for upgrade then give the best shot for the new rigs. Atleast get some up to date part for 2-3yrs future prove.

Hahah.. Yea! That why the IF were there. Anyways, im downgrading as well. Going to let off my P35 mobo after warranty. Save some bucks!

Haha.. P35 now masuk hospital liao.. Sent to RMA! LAN port been kissed by uncle Zues. But then the P965 can do soft BSEL with modded bios. Haha.. Dilemma.

SOS Kurang Asam

The lower the CL (cas latency) the more responsive the system was. But then not all ram chip can take high CL lo. 2 is better then 2.5, but for DDR ram, unless u have BH-5 + 2.85v and above then the ram can run on CL2 @ 220fsb and above. Normally 2.5-3-3-5 will be very good already, my office rigs run on 2.5-3-3-5 @ FSB233 with 2.65v..
