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.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads.

    • Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
