You lucky dog....Just curious what do you do for a living? Are you a professional hardware tester? I want your job Saint...Whatever it may be...

 

[saint19]

A8-3850 plus A75-UD4H challenge canceled, not enough money for the contest this time but the new CPU project keeps alive.

Regarding my job, it's a normal job with normal schedule and low salary. 🙁

 

[aznshinobi]

? What happened? I hear the Gigabyte boards OC pretty well (especially according to that THG review.

 

[saint19]

Yeah, but I need buy the components from newegg and import it to my country...the problem isn't the importation and shipping cost, the problems is that I don't have the money now.

 

[aznshinobi]

Ohh..... I thought you meant the competition was giving it to you for free.

 

[saint19]

No, I go for the final awards at least one of them

@stenpenny90-->What namebrand RAM is that and what config 2x4GB or 4x2GB

BTW table update....just need that above info to finish data entry

 

[lowjack989]

Check out the table I made the background black and the Top 5 are highlighted Yellow throughout.....Any feedbacks are welcome and appreciated on table format and ideas

 

[stenpenny90]

@stenpenny90-->What namebrand RAM is that and what config 2x4GB or 4x2GB

It't Gskill ripjaw series, and its 2x4gb. On cpu-z it says dram is at 668 mhz, seems low for the ram i have but i dont know.

 

[aznshinobi]

It's correct. It's dual-channel so although it is 668 a piece. Total it is running 1333, just split between the kit. 668+668= 1336, you're getting a little more XD

 

[aznshinobi]

As for coolers. CAN ANYBODY FIND A US DISTRIBUTOR SELLING THE NZXT HAVIK 140? That cooler looks and seems like the very best for the buck IMO. After all after these reviews. Man.... $75 better and quieter as the Noctua D14, I think it's a solid buy.

Hi all!

Ok i see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm1pr58Uh5I

My Sys PC is:

AMD PHENOM x 4 2.6 GHz BLACK EDITION
ASUS ATI RADEON HD4870 1GB DDR5
HDD 500GB SATA II
MOTHERBOARD M4A78 PRO
MEMORY 2 x 2GB DDR2 800Mhz KINGSTON 1600+
LC POWER 550W
MONITOR Acer V22.3HQ FULL HD

Looking at the video tells us the settings related to my CPU.
But I am not able to stand on 3.5 GHz All coreS.

I use program ASUS TurboV. I managed to raise my all 4 cores to 2.9 GHz and that at 100% load are stable!
With 1.35 V CPU Voltage or 1.45 V. And CPU frequency on 200 Mhz.

As soon as I raise my CPU frequency on 231 MHz my pc restarting 🙁 not stable.
I could not touch CPU frequency or what ?!

What's the problem? Why can not raise my cores to 3.5 GHz to be stable? Give me any advice!
