Interesting findings from P5W DH FSB wall testing http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=111400 :) seems these findings apply to Intel D975XBX bad axe as well, loosened tRFC/tRD from 35/6 to 40/7 and increased my max 32M benchable fsb from 433fsb to 440fsb! http://fileshosts.com/intel/...

When a PCI Express graphics card is installed in the primary slot (the one closest to the CPU) you wont be able to open the tabs that hold the memory in place (The will hit the video card). They suggest removing the video card to put the memory in. The video card can be installed after the memory i...

saw that the other day.. i just want that retractable LCD bay unit hehe

this Intel D975XBX badaxe fsb max is 430-433fsb... i'm sure cpu has more in her just need a board with higher fsb limit heh

if i can figure out how to mount my other hydrocool 200 unit on MCH/NB maybe get more fsb

Yeah much easier than plastic pegs hehe. Temp sensor there to show ambient temps i guess not cpu temps :) So far nice improvement.. managed to increase my clock from Big Typhoon @3865mhz to Hydrocool 200EX @3878mhz and cut 2.703 seconds of my personal best 32M time :D http://fileshosts.com/intel/Int...

The Thermaltake Big Typhoon was the best investment I made. Why ? Because it's LGA775 mounting gear is perfect for my old and trusty Corsair Hydrocool 200EX unit which uses puny 1/4" OD tubing but still packs the cooling power to beat the Big Typhoon heatsink :D The pictures: First, a pic of th...

drools... uncontrollably

I was well aware of the voltage reading issues as Eva2000 and I worked on that nearly a month ago with his beta BIOS's... we spent weeks overclocking these processors and tried many Beta BIOS's for the Bad Axe motherboard and this is all we could get. We've tried overclocking them on several Intel ...

Thanks guys :) Here's some load tests with less vcore applied (thus colder temps heh) FX-57 @13x233HTT = 3029Mhz at 1.504v vcore Room temp = 23.7C Compressor with probe on top = 40.8C Evap idle = -42.6C MBM5 idle = -24C to -22C http://www.fileshosts.com/DFI/NF4_SLI_D/results/FX57/FrozenSS/Corsair/XM...

thanks guys

doesn't it dump like 90-100+ watts of heat though ?

Thanks.. a bit faster here.. waiting for new 975x motherboard to get past my 231fsb limitation heh New PB for Pcmark05 = 19,177 :) http://fileshosts.com/abit/aw8_max/results/955XE/SwiftechG4Storm/Corsair/5400ULv15/268_284/16bios/21x/231-345-3228-1.6375-1.65-2.2/pcmark05_570-1776_19177_tn.jpg http://...

excellent stuff huh hopefully better performance than their 7200.9 series

How about this managed to gain 6k more with a few tweaks to pull of the highest Pcmark05 score of 17,969 so far :) Note: I removed the submission after i took the below screenies so you won't find it on ORB now hehe http://fileshosts.com/abit/aw8_max/results/955XE/SwiftechG4Storm/Corsair/5400ULv15/2...

wow interesting times ahead in psu market

Hey guys great review

Just got my AN8-32x yesterday... and flashed to the 3/29 beta bios

Guys any idea what the bios option = DDR Reference Voltage control is for ?

water rules

nice was thinking of upgrading my netgear FR114P hehe

very nice review and thanks for the heads up on potential issues...

maybe part 2 of the review, the nautilus accidental dropping test to see how the unprotected radiator fins and radiator securing mechanism holds up to a decent fall ?
