Original clock was 1400, running at 1800 with 400 FSB. I could get it higher, but I got a cheap low noise cooler. I'm not feeling in the mood for trying and frying.

*can't wait for them to ship it so I can track the package from New Jersey every 5 minutes*

check out these results he was using the same fan in the first test as I suggested and he had overclocked his 2500+ to 3200+

hehe :thepimp:

30c Idle and 34c load... on a high end overclocked system drool

If you were planning to OC, you should've gotten a 2500+ M or 2600+ M.  Oh well, good-bye easy 3300+ speeds =/

Still nice though =)

[Taristin]

I'm not sure if I'm going to OC yet. Maybe once the novelty of having a CPU 4x faster than my current one wears off =p

Oh, that's another issue:  Memory installation.


My a7n8x-e deluxe has 3 memory bays.  I'll be putting in 2 memory sticks. Which bays do I install them to for best performance?

The two closest to the CPU is the rule of thumb.

Enermax power supplies are good quality. I would think that 350 watts or greater would be enough. It is better to have a nice buffer.

Enermax is nice.  The separate voltage rail for 12V means even a 350W one can feed an overclocked 6800 Ultra
