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.

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
