Looking for the best "bang for the buck" socket 939 chip....thinking of going with the 3200+ 90nm chip.....any thoughts? Oh I've decided on the MSI K8N neo2 platinum for a board....seems like the best (or at least most affordable for me is the above chip...can be had for about 200 bucks...so total...

Since prices are dropping is anyone thinking on getting one of these bad boys? I can hardly control the credit card right now ;)

I upgraded my system and trying to use my old motherboard in an older system box for a friend. It is a PC chips M810 mother board with an 1.1 Ghz with 670MB of memory, it always treated me well. In fact I don't even see any performance benefits with my 3200+ 64. . It is an old CTX case, I am...

in terms of everyday normal usage plus the odd bit of video capturing and occasional games how would the above cpu's compare to each other ? obviously the athlon 64 would be the best choice but how much difference is there between the barton and the sempron 64 and also the sempron 64 to the athlon...

Please don't be upset about the general nature of this message. I need to increase the speed of my Excel spreadsheet. What can I do to improve speed? I'm running a 2.4GHz machine with 1GB RAM, Windows 2000. Can someone suggest a machine? Price isn't important, within reason of course. The...

I changed the PSU on my computer and its a lot quieter but the sound of my TT volcano9 is very loud. the temp has crept up from 43C last year to around 51C to 52C on idle and god knows under load. has anyone upgraded the fan on one of these for I've seen adaptors to allow a 120mm fan to be...

Hi. I just got my abit nf7-s 2.0 and mobile 2400. Im currently at 2.4mhz . The settings are 11X220 with the voltage at 1.70 I was wondering though, what would be the ideal settings for this and if I wanted to try 2.5mhz ? Settings such as ram timings, ram voltage, cpu voltage, etc. I have...

is there any way to unlock multiplier in that processor?? -- Pozdrawiam ---------------------- Shuttle AN35 Ultra400; Duron 1.1Ghz;2x256Kingstone; Gigabyte Radeon9550;

It is an ex-CPU. It has ceased to be. Its life force extinguished at 12.30am this morning, and while valient efforts were made to save it, including but not limited to asking nicely, I pronounced at 1am. 21 months of overvolting (1.8v) and overclocking (2Ghz to 2.25) appear to have done for it -...

I have been thinking about water cooling this system to make it cool more efficiently and quietly, and I have a few questions: 1.) Do I really need to buy a pre-built water block, or can I remove the fan from my heatsink and encase it in a (very well sealed of course) plexiglass box? I have an...

Do the mobile XP's come with any kind of coating or thermal transfer paste on the heat sink pad? TIA

Hi, I have an xp 2000+ and an asus a7v400-mx mb equipped with 512mb pc2100 ram. My problem is, when I set my fsb to 166 (via dip switch on mb) my computer runs for aout 40 mins, then bsod. Tried it only once, and didn't write doen the error, but it was something along the lines of pci_irql or...

Have been looking at the Thermalright XP-90 (note the XP-120 does not fit on the K8N NEO2 Plat that I am *thinking* will be the mobo) and wonder if: 1. Anyone is using that combo here? 2. If not, WHAT successful COMBO are YOU using? The XP-90 has good reviews with the Panaflow 92mm and I will...

I hear that this will be included in some AMD processors next year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE3

I bought an Akasa AK824 HSF for the AMD XP 3000+. The strange thing is that the step is almost non-existant, it is the correct length of 10mm, but it is less than 1mm in depth. That is not deep enough to step over the plastic thing that says "Socket 462". My other socket A heatsinks (on other...

the sempron is just crap... so want to see if i can still get a 2500+ somewhere... cheers -- Design is all about life improving.

hi i got a new amd64 setup, a 939 3800+ and i have a question. on my watercooled rigg i got a hi temp diff between cpu (mbm5 and msi-utility) and the bottom of the cpu block. cpu is 55°c and block just 25°c (measured with a digital termometer). the block is mounted with artic cooling and have a...
