Myself and my benching partner TraX will be there along with our skilled friend Neo 8) we of course are hoping to do South Africa proud. the teams: Team South Africa: myself and Tra...

this is what a winning rig might look like in the unlimited catagory :D 100% on cpu: e6300 - 1866 -> 3733mhz (possible on very cold air or normal water) 100% ram: ddr2-533 -> 1066ddr (tough one this but possible with golden modules) 100% fsb/chipset asus p5b-dlx 266 -> 533fsb (i965 chipset air) 100%...

yes but thats both sticks isn't it?

those are 512mb sticks.
i thought something was fishy once it became clear the ram doesn't exist in 2x1gb sets

please post a cpu-z screenshot with the SPD tab open.

edit: i can't find a 2gb kit like you describe on the corsair webpage

as mentioned there is a speed setting for the ram in the bios. usually known as i divider at default the ram is at 200 but you can set it to say 166mhz or ddr333. this means when your fsb is at 240 the ram will be at 240*166/200 or 200mhz (stock again) the same applies at 300fsb using the 133 divide...

join the club
clearly not microsofts finest hour
maybe look for some office updates or windows update.

welcome to the forum by the way

yup it's my main machine
i think it's one of the highest air super-pi's in the country.
heatsink is stock unlapped with arctic silver paste

a member of this forum 'Gouhan' will be writing for this mag. Gouhan also reviews products at solosreviews.net for those that didn't know already

i don't follow too closely as it's pretty hard to keep up with it all. i spotted this for sale and thought *hmmmmmm...that looks like one fine stepping* ada3500daa4bw cab2e0605fpmw 1422609b60025-t 36' idle 70mm fx55fan at 3200rpm 51' loaded fx55fan at 3300rpm 23' ambient 13 hours prime95 8) http://f...

basically the e6 is the latest revision of the cpu.
it is likely to have the best memory controller for compatability with the largest amount of memory modules.

i'd be interested in seing th full bottom line of codes too.
if you havn't installed it that is.

timings not fully tweaked. stock is ddr500 2x1gb kit

sounds fine

backplate was on perfectly, when that failed we even tried without it! no luck...I think the spaces could help, but I wonder if it will solve the problem - i had to literally use all my force to get pins on both sides of HSF to click in, one one the lever's side goes in easy, then the other one is ...

i think that the current ANC plan is to make the monopolies look privetised to fool international investors. they want this place to look like a capatalist free for all while still maintaining controll over all the critical infrastructure. to be completely frank it's actualy hard to blkame them for ...

MTN in controlled by transtel afaik. transtel is controlled by transnet. and we all know who controlls transnet.

let me guess. sentech is also a state controlled company?

they're called snotelekom so the government doesn't have to to have too many brains while working out the accounts for our new state controlled duopoly

sound a bit extreme bud. maybe check that the backplate is on completely aslso check that the hsf clips on both sides are properly seated where they are supposed to. lastly these a64 'sinks do have a higher mounting pressure than older designs. i have seen mobo's bend btu 10% sounds a bit extreme. i...

so what did the mag have to say about this issue?

it absolutely can be right.
you can't believe windoews could waste 25% of the performance through sloppy coding and bloatware?
believe it - they certainly can.

linux is waaaaaaaayyyyyy faster always

pm me if you need one jjtoymachine
i organised webs his one too

the flat crt prolines are nice too. not as nice as the lg flatrons but substantially cheaper.

i would not consider a curved glass monitor

pfffftt............i can beat their pricing any day of the week

Snakker - what brand psu does he have and does it feel heavy compared to a normal psu?

it does sound a bit like he's pushing it.
maybe he should sell it and upgrade for safety sake
