Well anyway I think I need a new chipset fan, if I want to clock this any higher. I remember back in this machines heyday it could hit 2.6ghz, but I also remember having a difficult time overclocking it. Well here it is my Clawhammer at 2310mhz.

purdueman, my first suspect is a faulty/failing RAM DIMM. Accordingly, I would test your DIMMs as a pair and singly using MemTest86+. For a more comprehensive test, I would also test each and every DIMM slot on your board. This would account for the possibility of a bad/failing DIMM slot on the board.

By the way, welcome to the Socket 939 Appreciation Club!

I have added you to our still-growing roster.

Yah i am FAR from paying 100 bucks for DDR memory lol

though I may consider Boonies for 50 bucks lol

i just cannot see more than 50 bucks for DDR 2 gig kit

-- I know Im anxious, Im bored, I want a new computer to build, i freakin need somethin to do!!!!!!
Eh guess I will just hang with my girlfriend

Malicious rumors

OK, It's about time I joined this club

. I've had my rig for 3 years now and it's been running pretty good for the most part for those 3 years. It's made me very happy with amd, and I even got an overclock out of it. TBH, I've only got it stable at 2.41GHz, but I've been running my computer 24/7 lately on 2.55GHz and it hasn't had any problems (knock on wood). The one thing that I'm sure is holding me back is my RAM though since it's mixed DDR333 and DDR400, but the DDR400 is defaulted back to DDR333. And here's the SS:

One thing I've also noticed is that CPU-Z reads my vcore at ~1.52-1.54 even when I have it set all the way to 1.625 (max).

Infineon CE-5/CE-6 RAM

Where can I get these? I will lovingly trample the settings with my Mobo

So long as i can find it cheap =)

Welcome to our 2 new members =)

Yeah Iceman; we know of that link. I have spent literally dozens of minutes trying to find the IMCs of my Corsair XMSs (now in Pio's hands) with no success.

On the other hand, I found my Redlines in about a minute, and they are Infineon CE-6. Now if only I had a DFI to play with... *pokes Joe.*

Welcome to Purdueman and Pez; I will have you two updated on the offsite roster soon.

Another welcome (from the head boob) to our newest additions

hmm so can this PSU handle a second G80 640mb?

iw as thinking maybe i could just sell mine and get even a cheap used G92, GT or GTS
or maybe even a cherap pair of GT's

I am totally fixated on this BTW, and now I need to find those Infineon CE-5/CE-6 RAM

I don't see why your sig rig's PSU shouldn't handle SLI of G80's

. Although selling your current GPU and stepping up into a G92 wouldn't be a bad idea at all. You would definitely feel the performance increase over the G80.

StormX2 · 08-26-08

I have never sold anything, so I am Virgin to the Idea..

- I just obviously want to get more time outof my opty, because its so Sexy.

Those intel's just cant match it's sexiness
