Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

I have an e2200 that I am trying to get the best OC out of that I can with stock cooling and no voltage mods. I did the BSEL mod and it posts at 266. 1. Is it possible to select a LOWER multiplier with this motherboard (i.e 10x seems to be about perfect because my board will go to 290 FSB...

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

I can't read anymore.... sorry if this has been covered. I have a 4CoreDual-SATA2 Rev.2 board that will hit a FSB of 290 (and no more). I have a BSEL mod'd e2160 core2Duo that does boot at 266. I am trying to decide whether I will have better performance keeping my fast DDR (OCZ that will...

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

What about 2GB in the first slot and 1 GB in the second ? Will it correctly recognize 3 GB of DDR2. That is enough for almost anyone. Would that configuration be dual-channel or single? I remember on my old system, dual-channel only something like 7% memory throughput boost with a few apps and...

Please recommend a good socket 775 mobo for cheap. FSB OC is a priority.

Hi, I have an e2160 on an ASRock 4coredual-SATA2 Rev.2 motherboard. Well, I have found that the mobo will go to 290 FSB which I think leaves some unused clocks on my CPU. What I want to do is get a cheap $120 US or less motherboard that will allow me to take this CPU as high as it will go on...

If running DDR2 at a slower FSB, can timings typically be tightened ?

Hi, Yep, I am pretty sure that I can change the ratio from 1:1 to something else, but the overclocking guide in this forum says not to if I understand it correctly: found here: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2057083&enterthread=y "DRAM Frequency - This the speed your RAM will run...

If running DDR2 at a slower FSB, can timings typically be tightened ?

HI, I have an ASRock motherboard that does not allow for much of a fast FSB. I have overclocked an e2160 to 290x9 and that is as fast as she goes. I have some Kingston ValueRAM, KVR667D2 1 GB sticks running dual channel which is able to run on a FSB of 333 at 5-5-5-?. Well, since I can't...

HOWTO: Overclock C2Q (Quads) and C2D (Duals) - A Guide v1.7

so, when running Prime95 for a dual or quad core CPU - there should be a check mark next to the "round off checking" option in the advanced tab, right? Thanks, B

Please answer my dumb question about RAM

Hi, Dumb question but I really don't know and don't have the time to research it. If my CPU hypothetically (and it will after I increase FSB with motherboard) has a FSB of 300MHz which DDR2 do I buy 667, 800 ? I just need 2x1GB sticks. I don't want to spend any more than is necessary...

Is Intel e4300 at $105 US a good deal compared to other options ?

I just bought an Intel e2160 and the Asrock board. I have two pairs of DDR RAM. One is a very pedestrian set of 2x1GB Centron and the other pair is 2x512MB of OCZ platinum EL-DDR433. Which RAM would you use and what FSB and multiplier settings would I be likely to get without modding...

Is Intel e4300 at $105 US a good deal compared to other options ?

I am going to buy (just bought) one of the Asrock boards that allows for upgrading because it has AGP, PCI-e, DDR, DDR2. My RAM is DDR400, so I can only have a FSB of 800, right ? I have never had an Intel rig since the Pentium Pro days, sorry for the dumb FSB question, but I have to ask... B

Is Intel e4300 at $105 US a good deal compared to other options ?

Hello, I am just trying to get a good deal on a CPU for light use, probably no gaming at all. I will be running Win XP and probably Vista, eventually. My application use is Office stuff, surfing, video editing and picture editing (Adobe). I recall reading that this CPU is an awesome...

advice on which Intel CPU <$200 US

Hi, I am upgrading from a pretty old platform. I will run XP for sure, maybe Vista. Mild gaming, but primarily office, surfing, video editing and photo editing (not professional). What I am looking for is the best bang-for-the-buck Intel processor that I can get for $200 or less. Consider...

Advice on a low end A/V (adobe) & gaming CPU and mobo., please.

I have been happily using an AMD Athlon XP overclocked to a 3200+ with a Gig of RAM and an ATI all Wonder 9700 Pro for a few years now. I have all IDE drives, AGP video card and good OCZ platinum DDR RAM (2 x 512) and some stable generic DDR 400 (2x512). I am not all that into games, I just...
