Wow, any of you that don't think this thing is going to take off must not have seen the physics demos I have. This thing is needed even with multicore CPUs. Running 50000 bones or watching entire building crumble to the ground. Try running just 10000 blocks at 200mhz physics and see your 64-bit...
Wow u guys,
Now that?s some good info. Everyone that suggested 2.8e, you got it. I don't know how I missed it, just never looked I guess. I bought this from one of thoughts places that keep the stock in the back and they bring it up to you. It was the right price, 189 on sale.
BAM right...
Well I would say I might have 3-4 gains of rice worth.
Last night: Sys temp 32c No OC W/ my Apt at about 73F+
Stock HSF: Idle 50-52c Prime95 CPU usage 50-54% 30min. 70-72c
Volcano 7: Idle 50-51c Prime95 CPU usage 50-54% 30min. 70-72c
What the heck. Same temps with stock and the volcano, not...

How should the thermal paste be applyed?
Thanks again.
Thanks for the reply guys. Good to know someone ells got a 2.8 up to 3.5.
I swaped out the volcano 7 and installed the intel HSF.
With no OC my temps still seem to high.
My temps at idle according to abit EQ are still in the 50c range with sys temp at 31c.
Under load I'm still seeing 70c+...
Alright I'm kinda getting the CPU/DRAM timing. In order to reach the full DDR400 spec I would have to run the FSB at 250 because when the CPU/DRAM ratio was changed to 5:4 the DRAM falls below spec at 229 FSB. Okay, I didn't know the FSB DRAM and CPU effected eachother like that.
When you say...
Thanks for the reply I'm going to bring it back down to 2.8 and see what my temp are at. I've got the case open, with the open side right against my desk. It's got maybe a cm between the desk and case.
At stock speed and voltage I idle at 55c and sys temp of 35c per Abit-EQ and Sandra.
In my...
Hey all, I?m just looking for a little advice here. I?m not really new to OC I?ve still got a lot to learn I think.
Anyway, I?ve got a 2.8c @ 3.2Ghz, FSB 229. It?s home is an IC7 ABIT board. I?ve got 4x256Mb Corsair PC3200 XMS 3200LLPT Ultra low latency chips. Sitting in the AGP slot we?ve got...
