Can not access For Sale/Trade Thread

Hi, I cannot access it either. I haven't logged in to my account for a few years, but I checked my post count and it says I have 74. Do I have to wait 7 days because my account was inactive, or something? Thanks. *edit: ok I guess it can take an hour or so for the system to update, so I'll...

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

@tman7: Did you do the CPU voltage mod OR the BSEL 266Mhz FSB mod? There's a big difference between the two. The 266Mhz FSB mod does nothing to the CPU except trick the motherboard into thinking it's a 1066Mhz (QDR) FSB cpu. I recommend trying the BSEL pin mod before purchasing the other...

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

@2fast: First of all, here's a link to how to do the CPU pin voltage mods (which I didn't do): http://sg.vr-zone.com/?i=3904. Also, here's how the 200Mhz to 266Mhz BSEL CPU Pin mod looks after using the same techniques as in the link above (Which is what I DID do)...

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

Well, guys...I have to say Success! I owe it all to the 200->266Mhz BSEL CPU pin mod! All my fears about unluckily getting a bad MB and/or bad CPU went out the window when I was able to overclock this baby stably to 300Mhz. For whatever reason, the motherboard did NOT like overclocking the...

is HDD led connection to motherboard a must??

My stupid case has a 3-pin connector for the Power LED and a 2-pin connector for the HD LED. And, of course, the MB has two 2-pin connectors for both :P. So I had to choose whether I wanted a constant green light or a flashing red light. I went with the HD LED, as in the long run I figured...

adding eSATA

Bonanza, if the enclosure you purchased has an eSATA connection, then it should have come with a PCI backplate. This backplate plugs directly into one of your MB's onboard SATA connections. Right when you boot the system up it treats the HD just like if it was an Internal Drive. You can...

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

Had a little setback with another quirky little tidbit about this board: After doing the BSEL mod, I reported the MB recognized it as a 266Mhz cpu running @ 2.4Ghz in the BIOS. Well, CPU-Z said otherwise. It reported it being underclocked @ 2304Mhz, running at an FSB of 256Mhz. Turns out...

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

Just a quick update on my status. I went ahead and performed the fairly easy BSEL-VSS pin mod, and the motherboard immediately recognized the CPU as a 266Mhz FSB chip. Additionally, just as I had hoped, the MB changed the way it's operating quite significantly. It seems like it reset...

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

@Mr. Vain: I'm not sure this is correct. My MB doesn't act like this at all. When I have my DDR1 memory set using the DDR400 setting, the system ALWAYS runs it at the ratio of 1:1. It never changes that 1:1 ratio, even if I overclock the FSB to 240Mhz. According to CPU-Z, when I run the FSB...

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

Well, as similiar to alot of other people's here, my 4CoreDual-Sata2 board also seems to have a life of it's own, never ending to surprise me with it's extremely quirky behavior. Here goes my experience: I've tried the board with both DDR and DDR2, with two different AGP cards, IDE hard...

Hmm, upon reading a bit more about the model, it may not be as hot as I thought. It's a LVM-37W1, which apparently only has a 12ms response time...

Staples ad for 2/19/06 - 2/25/06... President's Day specials

Ah, yes I just noticed that myself. However, the Hard Drive didn't list the coupon as indicated in the picture below! http://www.8dn.com/dkb/upload/staples_nocoupon.jpg Oh well, it's good to know for future purchases, but it's not worth driving 20 miles for $13 in Tax. Not to mention I...
