Stable Motherboard for AMD?

[eden]

I'm sorry I didn't understand what you meant with that Asus OCed AMD?
I am reason? Heh sorry you remind me of juin, and that guy is a hard time to understand.

I have an ASUS A7V266-E MB XP 1800+. I have had no problems at all. I installed a Swiftech MCX-462 HSF @70$
that works as advertised which is great. Stock idle 35c 1 hour toast 39c.

Well Ray, you've asked quite a question(s). People have their favorites, and I'm no different. I love my Ali Magik chipset, and if the C rev. of it is more refined, and no "quirks" were introduced, I go with it. It might not be the <i>fastest</i> but it should be 99.98% stable. The board company is really of no consequence, as long as it's one of the well-known ones.

As to heatsinks, I'd have to say watercooling for overclocking. It's the only thing left right now that can efficently cool a beast like the XP 2000 and still have room for overclocking, without violating noise pollution laws.

Swiftech is the best. I personally won't get the MC462A because it is too expensive for my taste. It seem heatsink with cooper core is very effective with heat tranfer.
recommend: Swiftech MCXC-370 ---> under $50.00

recommend: CoolerMaster HHC-001 Heat Pipe HS ---> under $40.00

sorry you dont understand. lol
yes you're right, juin guy is a hard time to understand.


if you know you don't know, the way could be more easy.

CoolerMaster HHC-001 Heat Pipe HS

Great cooling for a low price, around $40-$50.

Crap, all the good ones are already taken.

thanks for new dividers infos.
my mb has "just" a 1:4 PCI/AGP divider.


if you know you don't know, the way could be more easy.

...faster because of DDR RAM latency.
why?, what it is for eventual DDR 333 or DDR 400 ?

huh?

AMD technology + Intel technology = Intel/AMD Pentathlon IV; the <b>ULTIMATE</b> PC processor

 

[balzi]

he means, "Thanks for the info. on MBs with other dividers for the PCI and AGp buses - i.e 1:5 and 1:6 for high FSB speeds (333 and 400 MHz) "

then he says his MB only has a 1:4 divider for the PCI/AGP bus..

wasn't as hard as some of the other posts from our non-English-1st-language friends.

I spilled coffee all over my wife's nighty... ...serves me right for wearing it?!?

ray, i would go for a volcano 6cu or the thermaltake sk-6 or either of the new swiftech models, MCX-462 or MCXCX-370.

the volcano would obviously be the cheapest, followed by the sk6.

for extra cooling, leave the side of the case off 😉 hehehe

P.S. whatcha planning on doing ray? u got me interested

strange, maybe it's a rear voice which told you

1.67ghz has got to be pretty close to the upper limit of air cooling for an Athlon/Athlon XP. I don't know how much overclocking if you are already starting at 1.67ghz.

If you want to try, the Thermalright SK-6 (with Delta fan) always seems to be the top 1 or 2 in any comparison (assuming the SK-6 was part of the test). You might want to try it with the "super" Delta (whatever it's called). 8000, air-shattering, RPMs.

<A HREF="http://www.newegg.com" target="_new">WWW.newegg.com</A> charges $27 for the bare sk-6 heatsink and $33 with Delta fan (the standard 38 CFM unit). The don't seem to carry the 50 CFM fan.
