280 is nice man! whats your temps?

Woops, didn't see yer question, sorry about that. Well recently made some changes. With the 280 before my cpu was gettin kinda toasty, not horrible by any means, but to me I don't like to hit 55 degrees unless its a short peg. So recently I installed a Kingwin Aquastar water cooling setup(my first time with liquid so went with a kit till I learn the ins and outs, prolly go custom this summer). I first installed with both cpu/gpu being cooled but decided to go with just CPU so I wouldn't lose any effect with the GPU in the loop. The stock cooler on my X850 XT does great anyway even with o/c, and isn't overly loud. So now my best o/c, tho is wasn't quite perfectly stable(still workin with the ram timings and such)was 296x9. Was memtest stable for freakin ever, just not perfect in XP yet. This ram for not being 'high end' ram when I bought it over a year ago(patriot xblk 3200 2x512) is performing great. I rigged up an extra fan for a lil' active ram cooling too. So stable now i'm sittin at 290x9. 2.8v on the ram, 1.65 on the cpu. Idle CPU temps are 29-32, load is 45-47. Nice change from my stock air cooling before, which when I turned up the juice quite a bit would just wanna scream towards 60 if I would let it.

DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.5Ghz

1.4125V

My ram is OCZ 2x1GB platinum, and I have to say it is disappointing. I can barely go over 200Mhz with it before the machine will not boot. I have it at a 5/6 divider

You should be able to get quite a bit more outta that even with 1:1. Have you tried upping the vcore and dram voltage a smidge? I can't remember off hand what type of chips are on your ram, tccd like mine typically doesn't like ALOT of extra voltage, like max 3.0ish, but the other type likes alot of it. Also perhaps you simply need to loosen your ram timings a bit. If your not a visitor already, checkout dfi-street.com ... Best DFI forums out there, lots of guides, as well as a couple actual DFI reps on the board. You may wanna try a different bios too, some o/c better than others. TMOD on the dfi forums created a menu-driven bootable CD with most available bios' that does the flashing for you as well, great tool.

revamped my system (finally scratched my upgrade itch..lol)

retired the p4c800-e and 30 capper northy.

new specs below, testing for higher speeds now, 4.2 stable on air vcore @ 1.4

will let you know what i come up with, one thing is these presler's love to OC.

Good god, 4.2 ... lol... what kinda temps are you seeing at that?

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice

Max Bios stable so far = 3.015GHz

Max Windows stable 2.93GHz

Max load temps 36*C

Idle temps 25*C

Voltage at 1.45V

I'm keeping it at 2.56 until I get new ram

I have Corsair valueselect (512mb) at 233MHz (466) timings are

2.5

4

3

5

And a 1T command rate!

It's stable at 243 but with a lot looser timings and pumping 2.85V through it. So I'm keeping it a bit lower than that

My crappy 6200TC Overclocked to 467/714 from 350/550 not bad.

    • low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.
    • I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.
    • You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
