Briefly, I toyed with the idea of getting my hands on a waterblock- based 6800 Ultra, simply because such a decision might have made it slightly less impossible to get my hands on this video card. But the snippets of forum text I caught revealed a couple of things about that. First, the only...

I'm looking for a good amibcp tutorial. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks Tom

I'm currently using a ECS K5S7A Pro (latest honey bios upgrade) AMD XP 2000 T-bird (A 6-8-0) Muskin basic PC2700 memory, two 256MB sticks. I can overclock a little to 137/137mhz, anything more and the system sometimes locks up. I want to replace my current motherboard to something that will...

I am going to purchase a new Mobile AMD 2200 . My question is can it still be over clocked to 2.0 mhz. The processors are still open? I am getting the mobile because of the lower voltage so I can run the thing without the high temperatures I have plenty of heat sink for it running at 2.0 mhz It the...

Possible the wrong place for this question, but here goes anyway... I have just finished upgrading my PC. Not a speed improvement, but a noise reduction exercise. I have replaced almost all of my 9 fans with large copper passive heatsinks. I now have 1 exhaust fan (rewired to run silently at 5v),...

I see Monarch has already raised the prices on the new Athlon 64 939 pin cpu's and they haven't even got them in stock,they better hurry and get them or they will be $150 over what the first listed them for. 3000 90nm 939 was$173,now is $188 3200 90nm 939 was $208,now is $233 3500 90nm 939 was $356...

Here's what started the whole thing. My invoice from the guy who put my system together lists the processor as follows: AMD ATHLON XP 2600CPU (2.13 GHZ) You can understand my confusion and rising frustration to find that the Ghz rating is not accurate. Through the gracious help of individuals...

Hey, Anyone here overclocking the Athlon 64's? Any luck?Post some numbers please.

Hi, I have a Amd XP1600+ with Aopen AK77 pro motherboard + Geforce 2Ti. New 512 mb 2700 Kingston memory and the rest is also quit new. I want to update processor + motherboard and video and keep my memory. I can choose between an Amd XP2500+ mobile and for a little more a XP3000+. What is a good...

I have an 3200+ machine that was running quite hot (over 60c) with an Ultra aluminum heatsink and fan so I have returned that to the store and purchased a Tt "Extreme Volcano 12". This has a nice copper heatsink and is keeping the temps down below 60 -- 54-56 running Seti and 57-58 when playing...

I have a mobile Barton 2600+ and have a few questions about overclocking and the FSB ... 1) If I raise the FSB without raising the default CPU speed, do I still need to boost any voltages? Could I go from the default 133x15 to 200x10 without needing to change the voltage settings? I have PC3200...

OK, I want to unlock my athlon XP processor so I can turn it DOWN dynamically so under normal windows conditions it will run cooler. Is there a way to do this without soldering, or tampering with the chip? I hear people talking about cutting bridges, or joining bridges with graphite from a pencil....

Anyone know if you can use a mobile chip with this mobo ?

Just saw a blurb over at hardocp.com about the 939 pin A64's.It was taken from AMD's website. It said that the A64 939 3000+ will run at 1.8ghz and the . Well,my 754 2800+ runs at 1.8ghz(1.95 OC). So,I figured maybe the 3000+ would have a larger cache. Nope.it's gonna be 512.Wtf?These...

To flesh out the subject a bit: I'm going to be putting together an Athlon 64 3500+ system soon. If there's one thing I am not entirely clear on, it's which ram I should get. My current understanding is that an Athlon 64-based system can't really make use of the extra speed PC3500 (or higher) ram...

Would an Althon thoroughbred 2000+ produce the same amount of heat as a 2400+, assuming the same clock speed???

Hi I'm Giuliano (from Italy) How I can take the frequency from 2000 to 2500 or 3000Mhz. Becouse my CPU Athlon XP 2400+ A7V8X-X Bios ver.12 512 Mb Ram Thanks.
