I'd like to know if anyone has successfully overclocked this setup and how much. The most I could get this thing to do stable was like 204 x 11. Unfortunately, MSI hasn't updated this BIOS to fix the following: - Multiplier only allows integers - in other words no 11.5 but yes to 11 and 12 -...

Has anyone here ever used a water chiller to cool the cpu using a water cooler ? I see that BE Cooling sells one in the range of 300 to 400 dollars. The BE Cooling water chiller can be set for a wide range of temps, say from 0 deg C to 30 C. I could set it at 21 deg C and not worry about...

MSI KT3 Ultra mobo. (6380-E) BIOS ver. 5.7 First I bought an ATI 9800 PRO to replace my ailing Ti4200. Love it. Better benchmarks and AWESOME visual quality but I realized my XP1800+ Palomino was a bottleneck. So I bought a XP2600+ Barton (locked) and get just a little more benchmark performance....

Hi, I will be ordering my Athlon64 before this month end. I have seen the Athlon 64 Retail as well as the barebone packages available on various sites. Is it better to buy the Retail package which comes with the Fan and Heatsink or will I be better of buying just the barebone and purchasing the...

Hi, I am planning to buy the Kingston HyperX 1GB PC4000 along with the Athlon 64 3200+ and an Asus K8V Deluxe Motherboard. Is this a good combination ? Also, this RAM has a CAS Latency of 3 instead of 2.5. I wanted to know if its better to buy PC3200 RAM with CL 2.5 or this PC4000 with CL 3....

Don't get me wrong, been using Athlons forever.....I love them....here is my issue: I just started messing around with Pinnacle Studio 8 to create some DVDs from old VHS tapes as well as some AVI's and MPGs. It takes **forever** to render the DVD. I have heard that P4s are better at this than...

Hi, I have a ultra ata/100cmd0649 raid card kicking around. Now, as the older KT7 9not Raid) board/bios doesn't support ata/100, I am assuming that this card would be of no use? Or would it? Thanks, scott
