thanks for the replies guys. I'm aware that the SLK800 & 900 and Zalman CNPS7000-Cu are the best P4 HSFs but they are well above my $50 target spend and I don't really need them to hit 3GHz. I'm trying to show some restraint after spending a truck load of money this month. the stock HS with my...

I'm moving back to Intel... after having been an Athlon user for the last 4 years, I'm not up to date with the P4 coolers. I've got myself a P4 2.4C with the plan to overclock it to 3GHz and want to spend about AU$50 on a HSF. as best as I can figure , these are my best options: Vantec...

it's given me a 2C measured decrease in temps which, for the money I paid for it, is good imho. two other users on Overclockers.com reported the same result. see: http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=202416 I believe the noise level has decreased a little but not much at...

congrats and well doen to the following for recently reaching some significant point milestones: SteveC - 4,000 Mercutio - 5,000 blakerwry - 5,000

congrats Pradeep. your particiaption has been interesting and valuable. keep it up! cheers.

the NB32J doesn't cover the entire chip surface but hopefiully, being that the it should be a better cooler, it should present no probs. I got the duct from Anyware for $8.

yes, I couldn't help myself :P

I recently met one. not that he was in one or two ways specifically very interesting but the combination of meeting this person at the time and place that I did made him an interesting fellow indeed. his name is Cornelius and he’s is a 22 y/o, married with children, Zimbabwean chicken...

haha! good one :lol: I would think philanthropy would suit The Giver.

I ended up with the followin: the HS is a T'take Volcano 11 which I lapped. the duct is also from T'take and is supposed to help cooling by distancing the fan far enough from the HS so it gets the full effect of air flow, ie there's no 'airflowless' dead spot in the middle HS due to the fan...

slo crostic showed me the site whilst I was at his place and I thought I could outsmart it by picking amoeba but by question 17 it asked if it was a cell! man that's close because techinacally it is. after 30 questions it offered a list of about 50 things of which amoeba was one of them. it...

Dan's always interesting spin on things: http://www.dansdata.com/rcables.htm. this time it's IDE cables... Edited: The link was broken. If you care you can ask me about it. -Howell

I used to work for a Telco... we were always told that 56Kb was the highest analog we could support on unbalanced copper pair over 1Km+ distances before induction and other enviromental effects caused too much signal degradation. the Telco support stance was a pathetic 4.8Kb.

The Sapphire 9700Pro I linked to has it's heatpipe HS installed by Sapphire themselves and comes with a full warranty. This is by far the fastest, passively cooled vid card available from any manufacturer today.

I'm on cable, with a theoretical limit of 10Mbps ... yeah right. :roll: in reality I average about 256Kb both ways. I 've seen d/loads sustain 1Mbps but this would more than likely be direct from my ISP's proxy cache. for AU$64 I get a 3GB limit after which conenction speed is throttled to...

I think this would the card you're looking for. a 9700 Pro with a passive heat sink that utilizes a heat pipe, a'la Zalman's passive cooler.

AXP T/Bird 2100+ Tested stable to 2323MHz @ 1.825v. Temp under F@H load was 57C. A top-of-the-line HSF, like a Thermalright SLK-800 should be able to keep it in the low 50's. I've been running this CPU at 2100MHz (10.5x200) undervolted @ 1.55V Soltek SL-75FRN-L. Works a treat, proven...

nope. RAID 1.5. taken from the DFI website:

despite the god awful colouring, it looks to be amongst the better of the Canterwood chipped boards. DFI make good stable boards (DFI are a long time OEM manufacturer). I've been using/selling DFI boards for years and have no hesitation in trying this one. I like the Gigabit Intel LAN, 2 x SATA...

aw c'mon Merc. we're all friends here. friends don't hide from each other.

man, talk about freaky … James’ post not the movie. I’m of the exact same opinion as James. I saw M/R last night and I was just telling a colleague pretty much word for word what James said and came here to post my thoughts on it, only to find they were already there!

a few reasons but these mostly. Like many of the SF participants, I've lost interest in Folding in general and secondly, I'm selling off my main folding CPU, my overclocked Athlon and going moving to the new 800MHz FSB P4's.

snogging is brit speak for kissing or rather better described as lip-wrestling.

???

sorry to all on the team but I'm soon going to be hanging up my Folding gloves for an indefinite amount of time, perhaps for good. best of luck to the team. cheers.

lie = like

sounds to me lie this board has no chance of getting a fair trial...

I have a WD Raptor arriving on my doorstep on which is all good 'cept the Soltek SATA capable mobo I ordered won't be in stock for another week :(. anyhoo, I didn't really have any intentions of running a suite of benchmarks over it but if there's a few specific tests and/or benchmarks anyone...

lol! not long now then Mark :lol: yay, I'm yella...

righto, will do :wink:

oops sorry Merc, didn't answer your question. my board doesn't incorporate the nVidia Soundstorm component at all, instead it uses a 6 chan Realtek AC97 v2 sound chip. I chose this board because it's a known good overclocker and it's low cost (because it lacks Soundstorm). I didn't want the...

It's not getting too hot ... yet. actually it works quite well at 200MHz as it is now but I'm looking to go as high as 240MHz and before I do, I want to attand to any thing that could be a potential issue, such as the NB getting to warm with the current setup. I've decided to use the Zalman...

thanks for the links blakerwry but Directron won't ship internationally for small orders :( I can't find any 40mmx20mm fans here in Oz so now I'm considering getting a Thermaltake Tiger 1 and just using the fan. I didn't realise that a fan such as this would be a pain to source component.

not really. sorry blakerwry. regards.

hi, I'm looking to better the NB cooling solution on my Soltek SL-75FRN2-L mobo. currently I'm using the stock HSF which I've lapped: although it appears to be adequate at 200MHz, I'd like to install a better solution with a monitored fan for relability sake and extreme FSB...

new reserves: $500 complete or $450 minus monitor.

who would have thought: see: http://www.wixt.com/entertainment/wierd_news/story.aspx?content_id=60A0CF18-B819-4506-B9C6-726BEDDB17C5 someone needs to create a "duh" award and give it to these guys :roll:

thanks for your input Liam but I already went through the process you described last week. also, I have already lapped the "fanned" NB HS. (in fact, this was the first thing I did when I got this mobo home!). having done both these things, I've ascertained that this mobo can handle high FSB...

btw, I'm not convinced it's the RAM because it's good RAM. it's OCZ DDR400 Basic Series RAM, which whilst it's not extreme low latency RAM, it is of high quality design, componentry and construction. it's SPD timings are 2.5-3-3-9 but I have successfully run this RAM at 2-2-2-5 @ 170MHz and...

well I did manage to get to my PC. I slowed it down a little (11x200MHz) and run a windows MemTest for a few hours. the results no errors, I need to run it overnight to be sure the RAM's is OK but so far it looks good. I'm wary to increase DIMM voltage as well, hence I asked the question. I...

OK, will do. thanks a lot Mark :)

hi, excluding the CPU, or a boards ability to run a very high FSB, what sort of stability issues are typical of RAM being run faster than it can cope? I have DDR400 RAM rated at CAS2.5 which I run at CAS2 @ 200MHz (can and will run CAS to @ 211MHz - haven't t tried further yet) I have the...

I only managed to keep hold of my 1800+ 'b' for about 2 weeks heh. I bought myself another B core Thouroughbred, this time a AUIHB 0307 cored 2100+. these are known good overclockers, although not as good as the new JIUHB batch 1700+. this is what I've managed with it so far: HSF is my...
