Pentium Dual Core 2160 incompatible with TAT?

Hi, I have built an HTPC with an Asus P5K-VM and a Pentium Dual Core 2160 1.8GHz (200x9) and I am wondering about the very inconsistent temps I'm getting. I have mildly OC'd it to 2.25 GHz (250x9) and have EIST and C1, auto voltage, but this also was an issue at stock clock. TAT shows temps...

ATT Yahoo DSL ADtastic! Anyone tried Earthkink cable in L.A. area?

Hi, I don't know how many of you are using paid Yahoo mail (either from AT&T Yahoo DSL service or paying directly to them via Yahoo mail plus). If you are, you may have noticed the recent addition of very intrusive ads (see the funny comment development, from before to after people actually got...

ASUS P5K Deluxe

OK, I fixed the USB drive issue. It was Daemon Tools. I just uninstalled it. The sound driver still sucks. No Dolby Headphone, but only a cheap non-working imitation. And it forces you to load a couple of processes at startup (you can manually get rid of one, the contol panel, but the other...

ASUS P5K Deluxe

Thanks, I don't know if it's good to know or bad. Anyway, I wouldn't have taken the bother to uninstall and return it. I am having some other trouble, though. I did a Windows XP repair, after I switched from P5W Deluxe to P5K Deluxe. It went well enough, but now my USB drives don't show up on My...

ASUS P5K Deluxe

Hi all. I just got my P5K. I had to buy something because I'm building a PC for a friend with my used P5W. I wish I had known about the drivers at the ASUS site being corrupt, it would have saved me some grief! As a rule I never put in any CD that comes with any hardware. Anyway, I wanted to...

Help with my first OC...stable but some questions

Hi all, good to know other people are reading all this. Just a quick update. I'm now struggling to pass the Orthos blend test, while at the same time keeping the Vcore at 1.5625 or below. I'm not having much trouble with the temps. I'm not having trouble anymore either with dual-prime 95 or...

Help with my first OC...stable but some questions

Hi, I did run one prime95 for each core. I have two copies on two different folders. I also ran Orthos, and dual-prime95 seemed to get errors quicker than orthos, in both large and small FFTs. From all the tests I ran, it seems large FFTs makes the test crash more quickly, but it could be a...

Help with my first OC...stable but some questions

Hi again, finally, 26-hour Prime95 stable at 391 FSB (3519 MHz). I had to give into 1.5625V, though. At 1.5V, I wasn't stable even at 389 FSB, and I didn't want to have to go below 3.5 GHz. I almost had it, Prime95 ran for like more than 8 hours in small FFT test, but broke down on large FFT...

Help with my first OC...stable but some questions

If you're still around... I've given up on 3.6 GHz. Maybe later on I'll get to a better cooling solution. The Zalman 9700 seems to be pretty good though. At idle there's only about 1-2°C difference between the (lapped) Big Typhoon, but during workload it seems to cool much better, though it...

Help with my first OC...stable but some questions

Well, I swapped the heatsink. What an annoyance to have to get the mobo out. Anyway, the temps show almost the same, maybe 1°C lower. But this is the 9700 un-lapped and the AS5 freshly applied. I assume the temps should go down a couple of °C in the days to come. But that's not enough, so I...

Help with my first OC...stable but some questions

Well, it's probably only perceived, but that its temp is much lower should be at least a vague indicator that it's making less of an effort. More efficient=less effort for the same work, isn't it? Also, my previous PSU was making somewhat of a low, slow-pulsating humming noise. Since I quieted...

Help with my first OC...stable but some questions

Man, that's unbelievable. The Zalman 9500 and big typhoon shouldn't be too far off. But anyway, I already ordered the Zalman 9700, I'll see what happens. Also, to bjp999 (or anyone else) I just replaced my 500 W thermaltake W0093 for a 600 W Coolermaster i-green (supposedly much more...

What's your vCore set at? Are you using TAT to monitor the temps? I assume you are also using the p5W Deluxe Thanks.

Help with my first OC...stable but some questions

Well, yeah hehe, I did mean 2000, not 200. I'm considering, if not water, at least the tuniq tower, it seems from reviews that it has a significant advantage to the big typhoon, zalman 9500 and other similar ones. It actually kinda smoked them on the xbitlabs review. What gets me is that I had...

Help with my first OC...stable but some questions

Well, right now I'm not running 1.6v and 70° anymore. I'm doing 1.5750 and 65° max, and I am gonna wait a bit for the purported break-in period of AS5. The lapping actually was harder than I supposed. I had everything, but the 400 grit took like 2 hours. My heatsink was a bit convex, but most...
