Krom and I share a server from http://www.mher.org/ We have the Personal Package for $4.99/m, though I think that will be bit overkill for ur blog :P Really a great service, very fast and reliable, support for any type of add-on feature u can think of. Also the cheapest prices I've seen for what you...

lol feel teh love

BTW, Find out the max VDIMM of that DFI motherboard u are getting, if it is one of the ones that can hit 4.0v VDIMM the OCZ VX Gold might be better ram for u. I'm too lazy to look, read some reviews and stuff :P Scratch that, stick with the OCZ Plat Rev.2 Also I've been hearing on the xtremesystem ...

To me it sounds like it just earned it self a trip to Taiwan.

Anything on ur board look burn't?
Even if it was something u could replace ur self though, it wouldn't be worth it to void the warranty.
Stick the stock HS/F back on it and RMA it I'd say.

Matrix

Yeah in that pic it was overclocked from 2GHz to 2.8GHz
Wasn't stable tho

Heres my 3200 Venice that I just got today, no stability testing yet tho... http://shared.sploitz.com/system/CPUz-2800mhz-280x10--1.5v-2.85v.jpg BTW, Find out the max VDIMM of that DFI motherboard u are getting, if it is one of the ones that can hit 4.0v VDIMM the OCZ VX Gold might be better ram for...

Yeah pretty much all you are paying for is the higher multiplier 3000 = 200FSB x 9Multi = 1800MHz 3200 = 200 x 10 = 2000MHz 3500 = 200 x 11 = 2200MHz 3800 = 200 x 12 = 2400MHz A higher chip might yield u a slightly higher overclock, but if it does, its only guna be ~100MHz The only time I'd recommen...

lol see if u can get them to change that Heatsink too,, UGH @ thermaltake POS :P The retail AMD heatsink would be better I think, no lie :P u can always switch that out ur self later on for a thermright XP-90C/XP-120 tho ($40/$60) a 3800 Venice? damn nice son :P kind of a shame to put that cheap $20...

Between the both of them I would go with the OCZ Gold They run on BH-5 Chips :D OCZ brought them back from the grave it seems... These chips will only be useful to u though if u get one of the newer DFI NF4 motherboards that can do a VDIMM of 4.0v or an OCZ DDR Booster Cuz thes sticks need about 3.4...

roid, what kind of problems did it give u?

Mine seems to be running a little slower now that I installed it, don't know if it's related though.

IDE or SATA really doesn't matter right now like krom said, but just for the upgrade abilities and nice small cables I would go with SATA And the OCZ PSU already has the power cables for it so u don't have to worry about that And yeah OCZ PSU's are some of the best, like I've already mentioned like ...

1 6800GT now and another later when u need more power If u get 2 6600GT's right now, u have no more room to expand, and then when u need more power u have to sell both cards and buy 2 6800GT's :P Plus with 1 6800GT now, every game u play, SLI support or not with run great.

One of the nick names for thermaltake is thermalmistake if that give you an idea.
I would never use one, the only brands I would use for my own system are Forton, OCZ, Antec, PCP&C, and Enermax.

The stuff you picked out sucks ass. Either and admit it and stfu, or just stfu.
You have like 5 people against you, and your still arguing.

Matrix

ace, newegg reviews dont mean crap
newegg removes the bad reviews that people leave, and probably make some of their own

use real tech sites for reviews

Matrix

Ya they jacked the price on some stuff.

But I took advantage of it and bought a new case for my server =D
Also 2 wireless routers since Linksys and Netgear have a bunch of rebates right now, and some other junk

Matrix

haha, well I said something because u should be ashamed for even thinking of buying that crap

I'm pretty sure that the retail coolers that come with CPU will do a much better job then those.
But hey, its ur computer

And its just fun to bust on ya

Even better is a Thermalright XP-120. http://hi-techreviews.com/nuke/xp120/page_1.htm I second that. 3rd Or the XP-90, I run the XP-90 on my A64 3200 with a 74CFM 92mm Delta And its compatible with the P4P800E XP-120 Socket 478 Motherboard Compatibility Information http://www.overclockers.com/artic...

the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI/non SLI?

Those would be my top 2 choices, with SLI
I'd lean towards the DFI though

Matrix

Iâ??ve seen quite a few people running high end SLI systems on the forton 500w, that things a beast. Though it's not a native 24pin PSU, and some people say that can cause problems, I've never seen anyone actually with the problem though... Personally I would go with the 520w OCZ mostly because its ...

Matrix

For the lower end chips 3000/3200 its the older core, was used before the Newcastle and Winchesters came out.

Right now the only lower end chips that use it are the DTR/Notebook chips. In socket 754 only.

And the highend chips still use it. In both s754 and s939.

You want the Winchester =)

Matrix

Dynamite? Sledge hammer?

Matrix

Right now the fastest chip supported by the boards you are thinking about getting would be the AMD64 FX-55. Also supports all of the current 939pin chips. But for future upgrades, some stuff has to match for a newer CPU to work in your motherboard. -The CPU has to be same socket as your Motherboard ...

Matrix

I would go with a 3200 or 3500 s939 90nm. The 90nm gives you an advantage equal to about 200MHz at equal clock speeds when comparing a 90nm or a 130nm Chips. The 90nms are usualy faster then the 130nms, but no where near a 200MHz diffrence. Athlon models increase by 200MHz, and you definetly won't ...

Matrix

ya I've herd a few call the Fatal1ty line of boards either childish or too blingy
with real no added performance

Matrix

No problem =)

I don't think the Fatal1ty has been released yet, if it has, not in big quantities yet.
There should be some reviews on it though.

btw, it doesnâ??t have SLI, its a single PCIe board
and still $200+ o_O
On newegg

Matrix

I agree with krom, ditch that PSU, it wonâ??t get you very far. With a PSU like that no matter how good of a motherboard you buy you wonâ??t be guaranteed a stable system. Especially while overclocked. I second the PSU krom recommend, both me and him run the same one =) Though for a system that migh...
