ah... DDR3... now that's the problem...

DDR2 is juz too darn cheap now...

true, but for now, DDR2 price makes DDR3 to look much more expensive...

generally speaking, which setup is better???

slightly lower clock (eg 3.04GHz), faster HT (> 1GHz), faster RAM (> 400MHz)

OR

slightly faster clock, slower HT, slower RAM (like wat i did for SuperPi in the ss 1 page before)

in the BIOS of my Biostar TA790GX XE, there's this 2 options in the OC page:

ATIG Reference Clock
SB Reference Clock

wat do they mean???

wah... drooling...

i think TA790 series is 4 phase only...

can't expect so much la... afterall it's even cheaper than Giga and Asus 780G mobo...

AMDAthlon:
ve u really updated the database??? i still dun see my CPU in the list...

well, i do put some copper heatsink on the mosfet and the SidePort, but i dun see any difference in oc-ing my 5200+...

juz updated the BIOS of my mobo...

according to Biostar, this new BIOS support 45nm CPU... but one look inside and i found at least 1 difference...

in the menu of SidePort, the speed of the RAM has changed to 400MHz, 500MHz and 533MHz, from the previous 400MHz, 533MHz and 667MHz...

in the old BIOS, using 533MHz will produce artefacts even at POST...

time for some OC...

do u guys use BIOS or Overdrive to oc??? and which way is better???

ya, i think BIOS is more fun to play around with too...

anyway, wanna ask other 790GX users, preferably those using Biostar ones...

i tried to oc the SidePort... the one on my mobo is DDR2 800MHz... i tried running 1000MHz and 1066MHz, both are fine as lon as i dun oc the CPU... once the CPU is oc-ed, artefact will appear at both 1000MHz and 1066MHz for the SidePort...

do u all experience the same thing???

hardware acceleration for virtual PC

Intel has sth similar called none other than Intel Virtualization technology...

my very crude job of addling some small heatsinks on the mosfet and SidePort

those were actually heatsink for GC RAM... i used them on my old X1300 AGP... now that my P4 is dead, i juz transferred them to the mobo...

these even come with 3M thermal tape with them... all for HK$20 3 yrs ago...

went back to HK for holiday back then...

i was window shopping in the computer center there (lowyat equivalent), then bumped into this shop that sells all sorts of hardware accessories, u name it, they ve got it... like RAM heasink, USB charger, cheapo keyboard and mouse, mouse pads, LED tubes, laptop adapters, ATi and Nvidia heasink (lol), blah blah blah...

still remember i bought quite a lot of stuff that time... some RAM heatsink (aluminium ones, although there's copper ones as well), this Video RAM heatsink and some other stuff...

everytime i go back HK confirm will drop by the shop to look for some fun stuff...

6000+, if i remember correctly it's 90nm Windsor with a max TDP of 125W...

that's the main reason y i didn't choose it last time...

true, but 6000+ already 3GHz, doesn't have much room to oc, dun feel so shiok leh...
