How much further should I go?

syko86 · Mar 6, 2003, 02:40 AM

I think I'm quite lucky actually. Hehe

. I was looking for a cheap bundle, and I got this 1700+ at $6 (It's a bundle. I had to buy a casing + a motherboard). I didn't even plan on O/C it or anything. I just happened to play around with the FSB for a bit, and it just worked. Haha =]. By the way, I'm from Singapore

. thanks for all the help =].

By the way, I'm running my 512MB DDR333 ram at DDR400, timings set at 5-3-2-2. Will it overheat or something..? Sorry if I sound like an idiot.

BWX · Mar 6, 2003, 03:15 AM

$6! wow, I'll buy it from you for $12! Double your money! J/K- think (hope) it was a typo--

166mhz fsb = faster for sure-

Memory won't overheat, but if you get crashes, you may want to slow it down.

You did get lucky on that one I'd say. If you got a TbredB and didn't even try to- good job.

syko86 · Mar 6, 2003, 04:00 AM

Lol, yep $6. And it's in Singapore dollars... So I think it's around $4+ in US. Hehe =]. Anyway, I managed to make my RAM run at 4-3-2-2 at DDR 400! =] Hmm... Any idea why I can't get my system to run at 200FSB?

DriveEuro: Thanks for the cooling suggestion =].

BWX · Mar 6, 2003, 04:20 AM

WTF??? I thought you were kidding! $4 us dollars?!!??!?!?!?!? How what where when who whaaa?

I don't understand. Um, I will take 1,000 -no make that 10,000. Are we talking about the CPU?

JavaFox · Mar 6, 2003, 04:56 AM

BWX, it was part of a bundle.

syko86 · Mar 6, 2003, 06:25 AM

Yea I'm not kidding... I bought the CPU together with the motherboard and casing. =] The motherboard cost around $200, and the casing around $73. (In Singapore dollars). =] Then I got the CPU at $6. It's a bundle. =]

BWX · Mar 6, 2003, 12:11 PM

Oh, I thought you said you got the bundle for that much-- LoL- I was gonna say. But you still got a great deal if it OC's like that and if ya got a Tbred B even better-- Cool

syko86 · Mar 6, 2003, 12:57 PM

LOL. It's IMPOSSIBLE to get a bundle at that price!!!

By the way, any good HSFs to recommend? is the Volcano 7+ better or the Volcano 9?

BWX · Mar 6, 2003, 01:07 PM

To tell you the truth, I am not totally sure on that one. I would prabably go w/ the newer Volcano 9 between the 2. But if I could start new and get one now that I've seen some reviews, I would go with the Thermalright SLK- 800 or 900 and choose my own fan (they don't come with fans attached I don't think)- It's all copper and tests show it is the best or ONE of the best.

If it will fit on your board, go all out and do it right.

I also bought my board/CPU as a bundle last year and could have gotton a Volcano 7 at the time, but decided to go w/ a completely copper unit that the site was selling and it has an aluminum 70mm fan. I am quite happy with it, but the Thermalrights are much better I am sure.

The most important thing to do is get some Arctic silver 3 for that cpu.

See the one I got- not too bad, does a good job, but you should start out w/ the best.

syko86 · Mar 7, 2003, 12:04 AM

The SLK800 costs over a hundred dollars here.. =[. On the other hand, Volcano 7+ and 9 both cost around 40 to 50 dollars each...

syko86 · Mar 7, 2003, 12:09 AM

By the way, I checked the Thermalright website. SLK 800 and 900 come with fans attached =]. 4800RPM fan for 800 @ 55dBA, and 5700RPM fan for 900 @ 52.5dBA. =\

I also checked thermaltake's website... And I think the V7+ is completely copper.. Is it?

DriveEuro · Mar 7, 2003, 03:00 AM

No, the Thermalright's don't come with fans. They just suggest that you use the UTTERLY loud Delta fans.

syko86 · Mar 7, 2003, 03:36 AM

Oh ok. Sorry my mistake. Thanks DriveEuro. ... They don't come with fans and they cost that much?!! What about the V7+? Does it come with a fan? And... Is it completely copper?

-

I just checked the thermalright website, and here;s what they say..

Technical Spec.:
Dimension:

L87 x W56.4 x H48 (mm) - Top, without fan
L57.5 x W56.4 x H48 (mm) - Bottom
L25 x W56.4 - Base

Weight: 505g (heat sink only)
Stock Fan

Maker: DELTA
Model: FFB0812EHE
Size: 80 x 80 x 38 (mm)
Bearing: Dual Ball Bearing System
Voltage: 12V
Speed: 5700 rpm
Air Flow: 80 CFM
Noise Level: 52.5 dBA

AMD: Athlon XP Desktop CPU Palamino 2000+ and higher

Stock fan..? I think they do come with fans.. =\.

DriveEuro · Mar 7, 2003, 04:05 AM

V7 comes with a fan. The base is completely copper. The fan is loud though. I suggest the V9, cuz the fan speed is variable on the V9. V9 is cheaper. The V9 is not that great of a heatsink but it'll work for moderate and mediocre overclocks.

syko86 · Mar 7, 2003, 04:24 AM

Thanks. I might be getting the V11 =]. SLK 800 is just TOO expensive over here. Btw, I think they do come with fans (Read my prev. post) How much is it over there?

V11

DriveEuro · Mar 7, 2003, 04:31 AM

Where is here? Here in the US you can get it for slightly under $40

syko86 · Mar 7, 2003, 11:42 AM

I just bought a Volcano 11 + AS3 =]. I'm now running at 2GHz, 1.725V =]. Temp. averages around 45 on full load! =] Yay! Thanks for all the help =].

That AS3 is good stuff isn't it?

syko86 · Mar 7, 2003, 10:29 PM

Haha yep

. Thanks =].

syko86 · Mar 7, 2003, 11:03 PM

By the way, I reapplied AS3 using WyreTheWolf's guide, and I'm getting better temp. now! =]
