but i was just playing with u, i'd never hate on someone's pc for real. i'm sure there are a hundred things u could say about the way mine looks.(cd's do u have a laptop with super battery and satalite dish network card or something? ur like always on here lol. sometimes i can immagine u at the checkout in the supermarket responding to a post while the cashier is scanning ur box of frosted flakes)

lol. naw, i don't have a laptop. I want one though

. I'm always here on DH pretty much 24/7 minus when i'm sleeping

. reason being is because when i'm at home i'm on my computer (obviously

), at school, i'm taking two computer classes which let me go online

, and then here at work, when it's not busy (like now), i'm on DH

. So i can oversee, post, post spam, moderate, well...just browse DH in general from anywhere i am at

NUCLEARWINTER · Sep 12, 2005, 01:43 AM

i was on earlier at work using the uber crap computer in the supervisors' office. oh man i think moses used to play oregon trail on it for sure. it has windows 98 still(although in its day i loved 98) and it has fatal errors like every 10 minutes. that thing blows majorly. whats ur major cd's?

NUCLEARWINTER · Sep 12, 2005, 01:46 AM

ROFL i wonder what score would be in 3dmark05? -12,256 marks i'd wager

bought and installed a new videocard cooler today, so of course i need pictures

Kind of angry though, the cpu never gets above 55°C now but didn't get a single MHz out of the core.

NUCLEARWINTER · Sep 14, 2005, 07:40 AM

is ur computer upside down...or is it a btx and the motherboard is upside down??? im confuzled @ that pic. its like looking at that painting with the steps that go everywhere and nowhere all at once

NUCLEARWINTER · Sep 14, 2005, 07:44 AM

mine gets plenty hot enough for the both of us, 55c idle 70c+ load(damn prescott) get that new zalman heat pipe cpu cooler. it looked awesome. i'll bet it'll drop a lot lower and u can clock it higher.

Its a BTX style case with an ATX board...

I was talking about the GPU

and I have a Swiftech Storm sitting on my desk here waiting for my cpu to arrive, which is a lot better than any air cooling.

NUCLEARWINTER · Sep 15, 2005, 02:39 AM

That's Cool U Can See Top Of Ur Vid Card Like That. What's The Point In Having A Nice Looking Video Card If All U Can See With The Atx Cases Are The Solders Of The Capacitors And Crap? Smart Idea Also With Btx To Have Proc Up Front To Be First To Take In Fresh Air. Wonder Why Its Taking So Long For The Switch From Atx To Btx.

Lowfat · Oct 7, 2005, 10:26 AM

new system, new pics

My pump died on me (again) so i am using air (again)

specs are in the sig.
Even though there isn't a good bios at the moment for my cpu/board (multiplier can't be changed, so I am stuck at 14) I am impressed with it so far. @ 166FSB, 2.3GHz, its running faster than my Althon XP @ 245FSB,2.7GHz.

check out these temps

and that is with very crappy stock cooling.

CDsDontBurn · Oct 7, 2005, 06:14 PM

nice dude

. the P-M is an excellent single core processor

. In several cases it can keep up w/an FX-55 in terms of gaming

. What do you have your memory timings set at? what about voltage?

Lowfat · Oct 7, 2005, 10:28 PM

Well thats also a problem I am having, I have an OCZ DDR Booster here, but can't get it to work right, I stick it in the stock, and it turns on i think, but the led goes out right away, so i don't know what voltage it is at. So currenty its at 2.5-3-3-8.

CDsDontBurn · Oct 7, 2005, 11:50 PM

check the dimm voltage in the BIOS

. that's what i do when i up the voltage using my OCZ DDR booster

BulletTheory · Oct 8, 2005, 03:55 AM

I had a question for ya CDs, if I overclock my comupter wut do I need? how I do that? its kinda n00b but i need to know :P

you need several components actually. you need to have some RAM that has some tight timings (like 2-2-2-5). Then, you need to have a good enough PSU that will have stable rails so you can yield high overclocks. Just a couple things to get you started

No where does it say the actual DDR voltage

I'll play with around with it tomorrow and see if i can get it too work. It really doesn't matter though since with my current bios, i won't be booting higher than 166fsb

usually to check what the voltage your CPU and memory are running at, you can find it under the "system health" section of your BIOS. Unless your BIOS is lame and won't let you check that.

its lame

all i have is 3.3V, 12V, and Vcore

CDsDontBurn · Oct 8, 2005, 09:49 AM

oh, damn....that is lame. you have the latest BIOS installed right? usually that will help

Lowfat · Oct 8, 2005, 09:49 AM

ya i have the latest bios.. going to try differernt bioses from a P4P800SE and a P4C800-E tonight, to see if i can change my multi's though, don't think it will give me a Vdimm reading though.

CDsDontBurn · Oct 8, 2005, 01:18 PM

so the P-M will allow you to change the multiplier? if true, i never knew that. if true, i thought that all P4 chips had locked multipliers, and that holds true to the best of my knowledge.

Lowfat · Oct 8, 2005, 02:08 PM

It's not a P4, its more like a revamped PIII. It doesn't use the NetBurt arcitecture like the P4, and has a much shorter pipeline. Its more like an AMD64.

and yes it has an unlocked multi. Both the P4C800-E and the P4P800SE boards can change the multi, however since my motherboard isn't on the support P-M list, I have to use beta bios' which aren't that good
