There's a test of Mars II in SLI configuration at a Sweclockers. It's in Swedish, but let me know if anyone wants something explained or translated. http://www.sweclockers.com/recension/14358-asus-rog-mars-ii-i-sli

Sandy Bridge - Quad core vs Dual Core for 13" notebook

Unfortunately many of the newer notebooks actually cannot handle the heat, at least not during heavy gaming, and they will throttle the cpu. One example is the Acer timelineX series 3830GT/4830gt/5830gt http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/ These are only using i5 2410 so I don't see how they...

Strange Buzzing Sound coming from my computer

It could well be the PSU. I have a buzzing sound coming from my PSU (Hiper type R 580 W), sounds like a camera flash loading up. After shutting it down hard and switching it on again the noise is much higher for a while. Try pulling the power cable or switching off the psu with the button on the...

PD-805

I too have a 805d and would I be shopping today I would not buy this chip again. It runs very hot and has already killed two cheap mobos I had (Asus p5p 800se). A 915 seems to be a better choice, but as you already know a 6300 is a better still. I'd get a conroe, you're going to feel the urge...

What a good cheap LGA 775 mobo for use w/ Pentium 805 Dual Core

Look at the power supplying parts of the mobos you interested in. Here in Sweden they are selling out high quality mobos of the last generation at quite a good price f.x Abit A8w. These will possibly not be conroe campatible though. I was considering that mobo, but opted for an Asus p5w dh...

What a good cheap LGA 775 mobo for use w/ Pentium 805 Dual Core

Long-term oc'ing with a cheap mobo will be difficult. I have just gone through two Asus p5p800se mobos that burned; the first one after two weeks the other one after just a few days. They simply cannot supply the cpu with enough juice and quickly disintegrates if you put the cpu uner prolonged...

ASUS P5WDH or gigabyte 965P

The p5wdh has two IDEports, but only one of them supports hd's. I just got this mobo today and I'm running a hot 805D in it (currently at 3.5 ghz@default vcore)

4.1 GHz 805D???

After running it a few hours, I came back after lunch only to find the computer was dead. I pressed the power-on button once-nothing, pressed it once more and a nice shiny spark flew out from the mobo. The power transistors are fried, and I am returning it as soon as I get the rma no. Hopefully...

4.1 GHz 805D???

Well changing the psu didn't help anything. :( I don't know how reliable Asusprobe is but I still get those dips in vcore when both cores are stressed no matter what I put the vcore at in the bios. It goes down to c. 1.05-1.2 V under stress. It will go into windows at 3 ghz, but craps out as...

4.1 GHz 805D???

yes, perhaps a bit low, it's because the specs for +3.3 and +5V are 280W together, the 12V rails are 360W together. But I don't have a high performing gpu so I think it will suffice. I would rather have bought the seasonic 600W, but it is too expensive here in Sweden (almost double the price of...

4.1 GHz 805D???

ok, I'm ordering a a Hiper 580W tonight it has 20A + 18A on the +12V rail http://www.hipergroup.com/English/products/hpu-4r580.html. The 68 C was when I only had one low speed fan on the radiator (my old, silent Papst). I have now attached another fan on the other side of the radiator and it...

The Power Supply Thread

Very informative thread, thanks. It made me realize my old Zalman apf 400 isn't cutting it anymore. I just did a cheap upgrade on my work computer and replaced my old socket A system with an 805D on Asus p5p800se, cooled by a waterchill watercooling setup. I could overclock to 3.6 ghz and...

4.1 GHz 805D???

For my work computer I though a 805D would be a nice cheap upgrade with a possible decent overclock. I bought the cpu and a cheap Asus p5p 800Se, that uses ddr and apg, which I thought was great as I could use my old stuff. I have an Asetek waterchiller to cool it with. Anyway as I tested...

Who still remembers their childhood home phone number?
