UPDATE: Got the DDR3 fanless (EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR3 64-bit DVI/HMDI/VGA Low Profile Graphics Card (02G-P3-1733-KR)) and loaded it into the HP dc5800 SFF....works just fine! Now, I have only been running tests on it this evening, but everything seems AOK, no "brownouts" or other...

Thanks a lot hang-the-9...as it turns out, the sff hp computers have an odd shaped power supply, however I have found some folks have "McGuyvered" a small power supply into those cases by drilling some different holes....I have also read that the hp motherboards for many of these computers have...

Thanks hang-the-9....do you think the GDDR5 will work? The wattage is a bit higher...EDIT: I also remember that the HP manual said max 25 watts in the PCI-E slot....is this another situation where a manual "plays it safe"?

Thanks k1114!

Hello everyone! Say, I recently purchased a refurbished HP dc5800 SFF, and I would like to boost the graphics capability a bit. HP has their manuals online, and I was able to find out that I can have a max of 25w in the PCI express slot. Long story short, the EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR3...

Hello all who read this...it has now been four years since I built a computer around the D 805...it is still working well! I still use this computer quite a bit, although I now have a laptop that I use for any "heavy" gaming and other important tasks.... I do believe my motherboard is...

Just over two years! Still works very well...because I have not been doing any hardcore games lately (as a matter of fact I've been playing a lot of Red Baron 3d [yup from 1998]), I've often turned off the overclocking, however I have it on right now and have had it on for one week without...

Hello everyone....it's been 1 1/2 years, and everything is still working very well, better than any out-of-the-box computer I've ever had: Pentium D 805 2.66Mhz (of course!) OCZ DDR2-800 2 GB RAM (dual channeled 2x 1 GB) Asus P5WD2 (just the plain version, no E, Premium, etc.) Zalmzn...

Oops....looks like I started an AMD/Intel spat here....or perhaps its more of a philosophical spat....I really don't care! I kind of chuckle at those who were so obsessed with running this chip (the 805D of course) to the absolute maximum...no wonder they burned out! I realized that 3.5 Mhz...

I just wanted to email anyone who tried this, mine's been online now for one year and it's worked better than any out-of-the-box computer I have owned.... Basic specs: running at 3506 Mhz Zalman fan three other fans including an expansion slot exhaust fan 2 GB OCZ Gold ATI Raedon X1600 video...

Thanks for the replies! :D Tom_Shaftoe, yeah, I'm not 100% sure what is causing the graphics issues. Heck, it could even be the game itself! I need to learn more about overclocking vid cards, however, I've done nothing that I'm aware of concerning a manual overclocking of the vid card...

Hi everyone....it's been a week, and things have been going well......however, while playing Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, every now and then I noticed some odd graphic "errors." Not too often, but often enough, especially when rendering blood! :twisted: So, I ran Prime95 and sure enough, it...

OK, here is what I think will be my last update..... I've been testing my system at 3.6Ghz for about 3 hours now using Prime95.....when I first ran the tests, I received my first error statements! I have boosted the core voltage levels to 1.325 (well within specs of the chip, which is rated up...

Cool discussion! OK, first an update....I bought two more fans for a total of $25, and I can see a marked improvement running OCed at 3.33Ghz...... I now have a Stealth 80mm for the rear chassis, a System Blower Expansion slot fan placed below my vid card, and my Sky Hawk/Eagle Tech BAX...

Hi IcBIUsCrn.... You said: I guess that is one of my main questions.....why is the TM2 set so high (~80C seemingly) when Intel's specs say it should be at about 64.1C? Why not set it at 72C? I have been testing for 2-3 hours each time before reporting figures here....maybe not quite...
