REP +++ FOR PIONEERS GIRLFRIEND

txtmstrjoe

Welcome to blitz6804!

And I agree with boonie2: Don't you lose your fiancee, pioneer! She's a definite keeper.

(I'm actually inclined to think she's more of an OCNer than you are... )



j/k, pioneer!

Where can I buy a X2 939 CPU for they price they were used to be??

txtmstrjoe

Brand new retail? These are getting really hard to find these days, unfortunately.

The Egg has a few OEM X2s sometimes, but I haven't checked lately.

Are you looking for a particular model? If I find any, I'll post links here.

New/Used/Oem doesnt matter, As long as socket 939 perferbaly a athy Dual-Core must. ANY model. THanks.

If you happen to have a single core 939 processor...I might be willing to trade you for my Lapped Manny if you're interested. One catch though, the single core processor CANNOT be naked. Will have a stock cooler mounted on it .

I am trying to get the fundage together to get an AM2 system. If I succeed, I will be transforming my 939 into a Linux Box and will be willing to downgrade my CPU back to my Sandy so I could send my Toledo if the price is right.

And question: What is a suicide? Is that any system that will post but not clear Orthos?

POST-EDIT: Nope, cannot get the AM2. Sometimes, you just gotta hate parents. You get a job, you get money, and they tell you you aren't allowed to spend it.

Woot... finally up to date on the archives!

Again I ask, since I think it was missed earlier, what is the difference between CoreTemp and SpeedFan? I show a 16º C difference between the two on my laptop, how do I know which is more accurate?

1. Suicides are the highest bootable OC you can achieve and run light benches...without nuking your chip

For me, I got my opty to boot @ 3.2... but I would freeze trying to run superpi 32m, and god forbid I try to run 3dmark...my house would burn down

edit: just noticed it was your lappy.... check the specs online and see if they suggest monitoring software

2. I am going to catch a lot of flack for this.... but I have never had any love for either program (speedfan or coretemp). Coretemp acts wonky on my 64bit install and speeedfan I just don't like.

The reason you may be seeing extreme differences is due to inconsistencies in the softwares ability to accurately read the sensors on die and on your mobo.

My personal choice is to use everest... and compare with NVmonitor and/or mobo monitor.

You can find out via your tech specs on your mobo what kind of sensor chips are used and then google the best monitoring software for you specific sensor (i.e. ite chips and smartguardian)

I refuse to use Speedfan for its inaccuracies. I'd trust CoreTemp over Speedfan anyday. However you might wanna check out Everest. I love Everest and its never given me an inaccurate reading.
