This was a new delta though....

http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8565/ ... 1212D.html

I have to re-test it on my new board to see if it operates the same though.

[diedemus]

no idea then, could have just been a defect

i personally haven't had a bad one in 20 years though

[3X00-Modified]

My old board could be the defect... but it reads the RPM from my xigmatec fan so who knows, I'll try it again on my new board and then return the fan if its still not working.

I take it back, I got a little over-zealous there. If you've got that thing at 4.6, stable and at that Vcore, I'd actually be pretty damn happy!

Nerds. haha

Mine's a box-stock HP dual core 2.Xghz from about 2006. haha Still works great though...even for Photoshop work, etc.

get out. just get out.

I just havent tried 4.8 yet, I think I can get it stable on less V-core though... But honestly if this sits like this and runs fine I probably wont push it much further... hell the 3.3Ghz with the 3.7 turbo boost is fast enough for me, and going to 4.6Ghz really doesn't gain me that much. Played my first real game last night, haven't had the time, Tried Homefront... Damn I suck lately... I need to get my N52 setup to work better than the keyboard, but currently the keys are not assigned to work well, I couldn't sprint or crawl because I couldn't find the key.

Where was your processor made and whats your stock multiplier VID? lower the better... Mine I think was 1.26 at x33 and made in Costa Rica I guess which is the preferred location I've read.

Mine's also Costa Rican, I think.. I didn't check actually before I installed but yes, Costa Rican chips are the ones to get. Malaysian chips tend to run hot. I wonder why that is?

Stock it's 1.184V @ x33 on mine. From what I've heard from some people on OCN, that's damn good. They tell me that if were to put it underwater custom setup, it could easily reach 5.0+. I'm not gonna try it though. I'm fine where it is. Well, till my tweaking bug kicks in again and I want to push it even further.

Ive decided that I am going to replace the motherboard with a sub $100 board and hold off on the upgrades till i get more money back from financial aid in march. at that point I am going to switch over to an intel setup most likely, unless the bulldozer chips are performing correctly then.

just for the hell of it I did a 3dmark06 run on this loaner, amd athlon2 x2 2.9ghz, 4gb ram, and my 9600gso card

ended up posting 87xx, so the faulty board definitely wasn't helping


here is a pic of the case at least, the bottle is a 2 liter

[99GaGT3X00]

I5 2550k 4500 at 1.29v got it with the microcenter coupon for $160
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
16gb mushkin 997005
120gb mushkin chronos deluxe SSD
once i swap the drives over i will be swapping my gtx460 over too. in the very bottom slot is (not in picture) a 7950GT to power the 3rd monitor. it's a low power card and doesn't make more heat than it's worth.

watercooling stuff
Danger Den Monsoon "Premium"/ MCP655 Dual Bay Reservoir
Black Ice Xtreme II Dual 120mm Radiator
Black Ice GTX Xtreme 120 Radiator
Monsoon Free Center Compression Fitting - 1/2"ID x 3/4"OD
PrimoChill PrimoFlex PRO LRT Tubing 1/2"ID 3/4"OD
EK Supreme HF full copper
mix of mostly distilled with some anitfreeze. never had a problem with this mixture and have been using it since i started watercooling. the last loop i pulled apart was together untouched for over 2yrs and had no buildup anywhere.


haven't swapped over my drives and 460gtx from my main rig so for the time being i threw the 8800gts 640mb in there.



the 74gb raptor was just being used for a temp download dumping ground till the other drives get swapped over. if anyone has ever used one of these knows how loud they are, with the rubber grommet mounting system for the drives it quiets it down like a normal drive.

Just finished doing some cleaning and installing some hotswap bays. I upgraded to an i7 2700k and 16gb of ram about mid summer and got a closed loop liquid setup on sale at the time.

Anyone here remember when all the computer cases were beige plastic that turned yellow in couple years?

I feel old.

Oh I remember that... I think I still have a few floating around work like that... LOL

As I turn to my left and see the "original" server this company started with... LOL Gateway 2000 G6-200 BISH!

I still do have bit of geekery in me, even if i left the scene years ago.

My current rig, built couple years ago, still happy with it:


And yes, the wireless box is at stupid place, but I was too lazy to hide it.

Specs for nolifes:
Case: Lian-Li PC-A04 full aluminium micro-ATX case with dust filters I've added sound insulation
CPU: AMD Phenom2 X4 965
GPU: Nvidia GTX 560 Ti
RAM: 6GB
Mobo: Asus crapmax
HDD: Ocz 128GB SSD
HDD: 500GB Seagate (for /temp)
Sound: NuForce uDAC2 (using it for headphone amp)
PSU: 850W silent



And my current desk for the past year+. After i finally decided to get rid of the old desk I had for 15 years. (huh)
I'm going to extend this at next apartment where more room is available.

Also, this picture is staged since I rarely have all laptops at the same desk, they are scattered around the home most times

Since these days i have better use for money, I rarely get any upgrades, but recently I've been swapping out the HDD's for SSD's. Only one left

Funny, I thought I had posted the newer build in here. Oh well.













i5 2400 (yes I know its not a 2500). 16GB, 4x500GB & 1x2TB, Blu-Ray burner, 3x500GB Ext. 2x140mm $ 2x120mm red fans, 1x120 high performance rear fan (with speed control). Fractal Design Micro ATX (nothing micro about it honestly) with the silent padding, etc. Has sound absorbing material. Makes it quite quiet. Oh and an nVidia 550TI. Works well enough anyway, coupled to the 600W PSU. Case is entirely black with the white accents. I panted the I/O shields for everything white to match.

[3X00-Modified]

All those fancy fans and a stock CPU cooler... WTF... LOL
