With my usual impatience, I stopped the prime run at 8+ hours and will keep my fingers crossed! :lol: Does anyone really know what ACC does??? Just for S & Gs I played with it to see if there was a remote chance of unlocking the 4th core. I had made the attempt in another system with a 720 and w...

Hokay, so you Flashed the BIOS and it worked? I will try that myself. You're saying you did all the clocks through the BIOS rather than AMD Overdrive or such? While it takes more time I like doing most through the bios. Early on when I had the voltage issues I used Biostar's utility through XP. Whe...

Nice. Is this with stock cooling? When you say it didn't 'stick' do you mean that you had to reapply the OC every time you boot? If you do, I seem to have the same problem. Any solution to this? As far as the "stick" thing....what would happen is I would set a new value in the bios to inc...

Installed the WD2000CSRTL 2TB drive in the system with basically 1 x 1TB and 2 x 500GB partitions. This HDD has the "mechanical" jumper to regress to 150. Owner took it home today quit happy.......yesterday was a big b#@*h as his 80GB primary was swapped out for a 160 ( set 2 x 80) and was...

I’ve been having a friend that is fairly familiar with iTunes and Ipods try to figure out some issues and try to setup the wife’s Nano. ”My issue is I’ve tried synching an 8gb I pod Nano 4th generation, the small one with color screen. According to iTunes there should be room for all music (200+) it...

Getting ready to install a WD2000CSRTL 2TB drive in an older system (SKT A!) and was wondering what conciderations are necessary besides how many partitions he would want. Have already set the jumper for 150. The sytem is as follows Enermax EG465P-VEFCA 450W ABIT NF7-S rev2 - Sempron 3000+ w/ Swifte...

10:00 12/31/09 Oh well that was a bust again……..can not repeat my Prime run at 3.55GHz, I’ve dropped it back to Done for now and doing a prime run at 17.5 x 2 = 3.500GHz Vcore at +0.30 (1.58 – 1.60v) Chipset Over Voltage = 1.45V HT Over Voltage = 1.40V 800 @ 5-5-5-18-24-2T @ 2.15v Evening 12/31/09 ...

Somewhere Around December 29th Another side note, I have re-flashed at least 10 times now as this keeps cropping up and have been real happy that the CMOS jumper is easy to get to. Under S & Gs mode and max vcore (1.6v) I did manage to get the system to boot at 17 x 221 = 3.756GHz http://valid....

Mid December, 2009 I have a water cooled mATX system (DreamCatcher v3.5) that I'd gotten the itch to “play” with again, so lets get started (warning I tend to ramble!)…………. The hardware set up is as follows: CASE: SilverStone SOG1 PSU: Enermax MODU82+ MOBO: Biostar TA760G AM2+ CPU: AMD PII X3 720BE...

Thought I’d bring everyone somewhat up to date on this. While fun to play with I have had to get used to doing it the “old way” as I’ve been spoiled by my last four cpus as they were BEs. Initially had major issues with the mobo bios in the fact none of the voltage settings would “stick” and ended u...

To the point of ruining domestic tranquility, I bit on a promo from the 'egg's cyber Monday. Picked up a Biostar TA790GXE uATX and a "AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor".

Anyone done any playing with one of those?

Thanks for the info guys.....didn't mean to steal this thread!! If I can swing it (meaning getting past the wife! ) I'm looking at a combo from the egg using a Biostar 790GXE mATX that is just one step below my 790GXE XE. At least I somewhat understand the bios layout on them.

Okay, friend is looking for mass storage and the egg has this unit with free shipping (180) and it has a 30 MIR. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145276 Anyone use one of these? The big concern though is the old system he wants to use is really that OLD!!! Enermax EG465P-VEFC...

The good Lord decided that children weren't in the grand plan for us but have enjoyed watching and play with family & friends' little one. Yes they never cease to amaze me what they can take and I think part of the response is "parential education" as how to react to things. So you and...

1. The OCZ........ :prayer: they were great!! Guess it pays doing it through their forum as it seemed to make getting the RMA painless and shipped on Friday the 6th. "Officially" received it on the 10th and exchanged for replacement the SAME DAY !!! Left the factory on the 11th (ups) and ...

Currently thinking of "up grading" to a PII X4 from either 7750BE(past) or 8750BE(present) and giving SMP(VMWare) a try along with GPU folding. Currently I have a set of F2-8500CL5D-2GBPK (2 x 1 = 2GB) and would like to go with 4GB. So was wondering what y'all experiences have been with ov...

For now I've by-passed this issue as I'm currently running a Sapphire 3870 from out of my "to sale" pile. Be setting up a thread shortly on the oc'ing side as this set up is just "weird"!

BTW still looking for suggestions on this on board videro issue.........

With my ability to kill PSUs this would be a treat!! Thanks Ultra and LR!!

Good incentive to get off my duff and get some questions and stuff out that I've been sitting on..........

http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=L ... ifications Kinda sorta got it working......just got off work from an unexpected shift so will be crashing and burning. Going to try and work up a thread with the problem(s) to see what I'm doing that may be the issue.
