Sweet ram!

[SgtM]

That black mobo is gonna give a good contrast for the red RAM.

Agreed.

What cooling are you gonna be using?

[Twigsoffury]

Agreed.

What cooling are you gonna be using?

same cooler as i was before.

Getting 86F idle and i played some GTA4 for about 40 minutes and it hovered around 104-110.

Loud ass cooler though, i'll upload some pics in a bit. busy with the fam at the moment.


(beware of my crap cable management)

First benchmark, Ram oc'd to DDR3-1600

Holy **** it loads stuff fast, XP boots in two of them status bar scrolls.

If anyone wondered what the Exact ram limit on XP 32 bit is.

3,328MB.

30 minutes munching on prime 95 Hit about 114F

Not bad for a lil' compact cooler.

Incorrect, that's still a varible. The maximum addressing limit on XP 32-bit is 4GB exactly. This includes GPU, caches, interrupts and RAM.

Turned it into a 965 X4, will sprinkle some higher multipliers on it in a bit.

2nd Benchmark 3.509.9Mhz CPU / 802.2Mhz (1600Mhz) Memory

Lol i don't know if i want to go any faster.

What do these processors typically get to,anyone know?

[edit] running prime 95 for 45 minutes got the cpu upto 114~115F stable. But i don't want to push it before the TMI sets up i suppose.

[SXRguyinMA]

nice

[Twigsoffury]

nice

I thought it was pretty slick my system ram is 100mhz less then my graphics memory...


man times have changed since some PC-133 ram hahahhaha


[edit] so im still at 3500Mhz and im pretty happy with it. it's uber stable and the temps are really decent for only having some 24hr hold ceramique TMI. I can still back the CPU fan off to 3,500~3,800Rpm out of 7,000rpm (pretty much silent) and keep the processor under 100F watching movies and stuff.

I'll probably upgrade to a CoolIT Vantage A.L.C when them suckers come out.

But if any of y'all out there are thinking about a processor upgrade..man these are some gorrila data fighters. and i'd recommend them so far.

So i guess thanks to everyone for all the advise and tips (lol especially when i was wrong about something, need to know that sort stuff) really appreciate it.

GTA4 and Crysis run teh awesome now

There's a vid on Youtube that was posted here around the release of the Phenom II chip where the AMD geeks OC'd one to 5 GHz on liquid nitrogen IIRC.

lol i've seen that one. always thought it might of been bs.

got the rest of the doo-dads in the computer and fiddled with the cables a bit. but i need to re fold and pack the cables back into the 5.25" bay.

came out pretty cool looking!

hah i VHB'd that little 40mm fan hiding between the processor and chassis fan to blow on those mosfets.
