I still can't believe this cpu block!!!! Bio you need to test this block...!!!! I'm no watercooling guru or anything but this this is amazing! Look @ my temps....the NB 37C --> 4C over the CPU and the NB is on the lowest voltage....to me this means the cpu block is working very well, as the NB is n...

I normally refer to this when purchasing WB, but you have to take in how restrictive the WB to decide on the pump.
It's a bit outdated and doesn't inlcude WB like your Alphacool.

Is that the software from the CD or the latest one from their website?
Stuffs that comes on CD are usually junk.

ATI Multimedia Center 9.13 is currently the latest

Memory is DDR 400 [Crucial, Balistic]. 4 sticks of 512. SPD tab is reading the info correct. CPU multiplier is at 14. CPU voltage is at 1.5125. Everything else is on auto. At these setting,everything seems to be running fine. Prime 95 torture test is runing fine with no problems so far. CPU-Z is ve...

Just curious about the Alphacool Nex WB you're using. How well does it compare to top WBs like Swiftech Storm, DD RBX/TDX, DD Maze4, D-Tek/Whitewater? And is it a high or low restriction waterblock? I'm in the market now to find a new WB for my upcomming rig. My current rig uses a Silverprop Cyclone...

but how about an entire new build would I be better off getting the asus a8n32 or the expert?

A8N32 doesn't even stand up to Expert when overclocking.

Choosing between ASUS A8R32-MVP and Expert would be a hard choice tho.

Unless you've got DDR333, you RAM should be running at 200Mhz(DDR400) so it's in sync with FSB/HTT.

Mmmmm... saxah naked core!

Sorry people, but the more I research the OCing info on the "Web" the more confused I get. Seems every one has a slightly different approach on "how to do it". This much I have gotten straight. Do it in the bios, stay away from most windows based apps. NP there as the bios doesn...

Just slighly above 56.7W to be exact according to Xbits for his single mildly OC'ed 7800GT.

I never doubted when I first heard of the Dell Quad SLI rig, it would come out to the mainstream other than via Dell. To much at stake to leave it in Dells hands alone. Besides, that tactic would tick of the custom gaming builders like Alien-ware and so forth. What makes you think we won't see any ...

I used to have a ATI series 200 graphics card on my motherboard. It was alright but I couldnt get any of the newer games work right. After I got jerky graphics on the new punisher game I replaced it with a ATI HIS Radeon 9250. This as made matters worse. Now GTA San Andreas doesnt play at all. The ...

But your rig doesn't even chew over 400W at maximum load. :P I suppose you could compare load vs. idle voltage difference against your original PSU to judge quality. The voltage value you get for each rail through multimeter is irrelavent as you could always fine tune the pots inside quality made PS...

AUV266 Asus with a P-3 1 gig coppermine with coolermaster hsf 1 front case fan zalman and the same in side panel. I installed speed fan and it gives the same reading as MBM or about. bios reads about the same as the speed fan and the MBM probe reads higher than the other ones still stays under 41c ...

Just saw the opposite over at X-Bit.... http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/chipsets/display/20060302124238.html So SLI is for non-nForce users now! Hah! The inevitable has finally happened! :) That's like uhh... under 48hrs for them to work out how the patch worked. Thanx a lot for point that out quickly...

There is one thing that i think intel always has as an advantage. Stablility: the intel CPU with Intel chipset gives a much more stable overall system. There are fewer quirks and hardware concerns when building an Intel based computer. This is not true with AMD systems. This is changing though as A...

That is if someone from a hardware enthusiasts community reverse engineers the ULi patch illegally.
Still keeping an eye out for such a patch...

also have the option for an ATI crossfire setup instead of SLI or do u have to have a different MB?

Wasn't reading the question clearly...

As of now no Crossfire can run on nVidia chipset boards with SLI... yet.

Yep, overclockers need not apply here when it comes to VRMs on current i975X boards.

I know your probably sick of hearing from me but my new drive is running at about 55 to 61 degrees celcius. I have moved it to a better spot with more room, then i put a new front fan in blowing right on it to get all the air out from under it. That only dropped it down a few degrees. HDD Health an...
