Recall N2Gaming making a similar switch for Black n Blue Baby. It should make for an easier time overclocking, you have no excuse now not to push that DFI to its limits!

The stock voltage on a Socket 939 CPU is 1.350 V. AMD permits up to 1.400 V while keeping your warranty in tact. In an email to them, they told me not to exceed 1.450 V or risk damage to the processor.

WHAT? Then my Manny must be dead since I surged 1.95v through her

We should call pio a traitor since he's using Intel.

BLASPHEMY!

Jk pio. Did you pull the trigger on that Neopower yet? And what ever happened to that motherboard you were selling?

I already sold the mobo a few weeks ago

. And no I haven't pulled the trigger yet on the NeoPower. Looks like I'm stuck with nothing for a while longer (other than this PSU that randomly catches fire). I have no way to pay for it as I'm $5 and some change short, and newegg won't take my paypal. Even though in the end, newegg is giving me $35 back from it....I just can't pull off the initial purchase

.

Long story short....pio's still screwed for now.

Haha, oh so true in all respects. I spent quite some time after that post determining my max FSB. So long as I was doing it right, it's not higher than 335. I do remember hearing about "black holes" from joe (iirc) where sometimes there'll be a gap of FSB values that for whatever reason don't work/boot.. then at a later number it picks back up briefly.

Highest number I attempted was 360, and no go. I got sleepy and decided to hit the sack, so I restored my stable OC via CMOS Reloaded and called it a night (..er.. morning?). I'll try and find my limits once again when i'm a bit more awake.

Newegg refused your paypal? That happened to me when I was trying to buy a HD 4850...see how well that one went, eh?

Yes

. Newegg won't take it as its not tied to a credit card (or something like that). And I'm $5 and some change short, until they give me the $35 rebate :/.

Your paypal and New account have to use the same credit card and address. I tried that once before and that's what they told me over the phone. That was about a year ago so it may have changed.

Timxirish, that is quite impressive

What troubles are you currently have with your OC now? I understand 335HTT was your max but did you test your memory as well?

Good luck
