Eldonko this is happening on your Frozen rig correct ?

Eldonko · 08-30-2005, 09:34 AM

Yup. Your question got me thinking so I did a close inspection for condensation and there is none. PC_ICE's mounting system works very well.

Primed fine all night @ 3.4v and 245Mhz. Going to jack up to 255 and head to work. I think its the board too, 1 minute its stable the next its not.

Well I RMA's the Patriot Ram I bought from Newegg in exchange for Ballistix 2x1024.

Currently Testing with the 704-2BT:
271x10 @ 1.475v | 3-3-3-8 @ 2.8v

I like the initial results.

Looks good kcstock, system must feel fast.

I think i need to reload Windows (super Pi times are lower), but yeah I am happy with the numbers.

I have been messing with CPU Burn-In to see if it would allow for 2.7ghz with less voltage. So far it seems to be helping, but other variables have changed as well. Originally to get prime stability I needed to set the vCore to 1.55v. My temps were fine (36c idle / 43c Load) but I was unsure if upping the voltage from 1.325v to 1.55v would hurt the X2. This is my only system so I need it to be stable and reliable. I would love to get this 4200+ to 2.8ghz stable for everyday use.

Looks like you have a nice system, kcstock.

That is except the new NEC 21" one that is the first to use red,grn,blue diodes instead of flourescent backlight. That one is like $7,000.

That's the board I chose to replace my Neo2 at my work. Trouble is I think it was DOA, or maybe it was my cpu, in any case I had to send it, the new pcie vid card and the 3200+ cpu all back for RMA replacements. If they all don't work this time I'm going to go postal.

Sierra_abx · 08-30-2005, 02:40 PM

Nice hearing from you again. Sorry about your dead board.

Does this mean faster responce times. Or maybe even no responce times

Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW
ViewSonic VP231wb
HP 2335

I have the 2405FPW. Ubeatable for the price and you can usually get a really good discount by going through Dell business or watching for coupons on it. They come up very often. It's a awesome monitor and beats out the others you mentioned hands down as far as I am concerned.

If they use Samsung chips, don't count on any stellar results.

The only switch I use when flashing the bios is the switch to turn on the computer. Once I used some switches and killed a bios chip.
