I was contemplating a new build, one list for both sides of the fence. To my surprise I could build either for the same price, including a 24" monitor . Then I saw a new board come out with some great expectations, the M3n-HT Deluxe nvidia 780a. What put my new build on hold is the same ole tho...

Ok, thanks....here's the board I'm thinking about, I see you have the 680i. Thought about that with the gtx. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131232 I also like the p5e but would have to go the gtx or ultra route with that. Want to sli over xfire. I read alot about problems w...

Thanks for your response, that was good to know. Do you or any anyone here at LR know of any 750i boards that perform well? Evga, XFX? Maybe even gigabyte or msi. I had the EVGA on the wishlist and then ran into the Asus for $70 less and I was like "Whoa, what's wrong with this?" I'm using...

I like the fact that this is a 750i and made by Asus, which will allow me to keep my current ram and not have to upgrade. Anyway...I know you get what you pay for, but this is the cheapest 750i I found and that's nice, but will I have a problem overclocking an intell 6600 I want to put in it. I'm al...

I saw some corsiar ram that people are stating have D9 blah blah blah chips. If I got that would it help the overclock remain stable or help with overclocking period? $159, hope it does something different.Thx

I ran 3dmark06 again and it came out to 11817....that sound right? That's what it stated online after running it. Whee. When you go online to view results it states "n/a" 3dmark or something like that. Oh well, the guys above me with same gpu and using athlonx2's have the 6000 or 6400. the...

Ok, I got the timings to work, 4-4-4-12 @ 2.20v. Will 225 work on fsb now? I'll check it out later tonight. Speaking of 6400 price and hs/f, I priced a new build using both platfroms and the difference was only $100. Amd boards were more expensive and the intel chip was more expensive. They offset e...

Cpu-z showing 3.122.......whee

Vista score still 5.5

I just got my 3dmark06 score.....11810! I'm not kidding! WOW! With a radeon 3870? I'll take that! Late

Ram model# is BL2KIT12864AA804 . I got it to 3.1! What a deal! I had to increase cpu volts to 1.35 (max spec's) to do it. Had it at 225 fsb but locked up on me typing you a message. I have it at 223 now. Cpu temp under 33, 33 being max at startup and getting on the net, drops to 23 after. Cpu volts ...

Well Methious, with just taking the fsb up to 219 it gives me 3.06 on the chip. I dwnld'd cpu-z and that's shows ram at 5-5-5-18-?-2t. Also up'd my vista rating from 5.3 to 5.5. This is very interesting. Is there anyway you can get some pic's up on your bios settings, or know of any others are using...

Ok, Thanks alot Methious. The best detail I've ever read and now I can sit back with that info and play around for a while. I want to learn on this 5600 so I have an excuse to get the 6400 if I mess it up. Then again from what you just stated I might just be satisfied for awhile if it can do what yo...

I'm new to overclocking, and I would like to take a shot at it before I purchase the 6400x2. I have ballistix 2.2v ram, the 5600 and a 3870 gpu. Do I just bump up the front side bus? What downloads are there for me to see the results? Would like to go to 3.0 on clock. Also have a seagate 500gig, 32m...
