I've got what should be a solid foundation, now I just need to get the rest of it all together and cranking out some hopefully, good....if not great OC's.

I mean, with my old 3200+....it didn't even want to run 3dmark06!

Course...I am tempted to just go ridiculous and get a second GTX, but I think I'll run it solo then sell it to help fund the purchase of a new crazy card.

I would love to have a GTS vs GTX show down me vs you just for fun I love competion I can run against I don't hold a candle to AM2 or C2Q machines LOL I found a home LOL

Well... with some experiments I ran a while ago (several months ago), I found that, once you get beyond a certain point, the extra MHz you get from RAM actually helps you more than the tight timings do.

I think that the ICs in the RAM make a huge impact, as well. Case in point: In my gaming rig, I run DDR500 Mushkin Redline XP4000s. This RAM has Infineon CE-5s, and I've run them all the way up to DDR560 (280MHz). Timings at that speed were at 3-4-4-8-1T. When I had the RAM running 1:1 with the HTT Clock (FSB), that rig made its fastest-ever SuperPi runs (high 26 minute runs for 32M, as I recall). The only problem was, I couldn't run any 3D apps (games, 3DMark06, etc.) with any stability. So I had to slap a divider on the RAM.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is a lot of testing is required to know precisely what your kit will do. You may think you know what it will do, but testing will show you for sure what a component's true capabilities are.

Also CoolerMaster GeminII FTW PPL best cooler for the AMD 939 IMHO!!!!!!!

I do have the read that thread on RAM,but I understand. I am still tinkering with it right now. I'm at 3-4-4-8 T1 currently. The subtimings are a pain...grrrr but on SuperPi I was a shave 1 sec off the 1M run. I believe it's at 28 seconds right now. I'll have to check when i get home.

Heh, it's on Death!
Now....where was my credit card again?!

The only other S939 motherboard that I know about that has 2 x 16x PCI-E slots was the MSI K8N Diamond Plus, a rather rare motherboard as far as I know. I see a few on eBay from time to time, but I've never owned one nor played with one.

Also, please welcome justedbin into the group!

Roster and links on first post updated.

Oops. Moronic me.

I forgot that the Abit AN8-32X was also a 2 x 16x SLI motherboard.

Maybe that'll be an interesting project for this group here: A small database of S939 motherboards detailing their chipsets and other interesting elements, including commentary from users of said motherboards.

What do you guys think?

Death Dealer · 02-15-08

LOL I will have to do some overtime an buy another $130 EK waterblock for my second GTS LOL. Who thinks I should buy that ASUS 16x16 in the 4 sale section???? I am really curious LOL.

QFT

Test, test, test again...and then test some more. If it isn't broken, then you just aint trying hard enough.

txtmstrjoe you forgot my 165 LOL I will dig it up LOL

this is the highest stable clock at 1.5v on the 165 CCBBE on watercooling loop with 120mm rad and 80mm rad

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=307353

Also iandroo88 I didn't know you had a Toledo X2 I think you should be able to get more out of that has the same core revision as my 3800 x2 we may be able to get you to 3ghz son LOL TTYL guy nighty night time

Sorry, bro. My bad!

I've added it to our roster.

By the way, I added some info to Post 106 regarding SLI x16 S939 boards.
