Nice review. I have this case now also. Must admit it was a doddle to work with in comparison to my old CM690. I know I dont have pics yet but my temps have dropped in the new case compared to my old CM690 (will try to get temps). A note on the cable routing on the top: If you have a...

Ambient: 22C 45nm cpu: Core i5 750 stock mobo: Asus P7P55D cooling: Stock for now Temps I/L: 31c/ 68c P95 Gpu: Ati 4870 1gb Oc 800 core 1000 mem Gpu cooling: Sapphire non referance. Gpu temps I/L: 50c/ 79c (Bioshock Cod4+5) All in a silverstone RV02. Just need thermalright to get the...

Hey all. Ok I need 4GB of DDR2 ram but im not sure what to get as avaliabilty seems limited in the UK but the bigger limiting factor on ram choice is that my Ultra 120 cover 2 of the ram slots so higher heat spreaders are out the question which is a shame. I thoguht about getting 4GB 800...

The DFI DK series for AMD are peaches :) I know I have one but from my previous AMD boards this is by far the most stable for overclocking. Ok I only have the ddr2 one and after a minor annoyance with the orginal bios I got it running like a treat and have had this OC for a while with no...

hey curly, nice to see you got the dfi board! +1!! I had similar issues with the original bios and after changing it i got my setup running nicley. Look at my system specs. I personally find that once you get the HT and NB above 2ghz the boost is a really nice touch! Good luck with...

Igg, It might be worth asking scan if they have any B-Grade stock as they don't advertise it on the site. Go to hexus.net and forums as Scan has a customer support there. You might be able to pick up a motherboard and ram too in one hit if your super lucky. :)

Hi all, Ok so I got it this far with bios only..... temps are still fine even with the added voltage for NB HTT etc. Lookie..

Meizuman, The DFI board I have can add .750Mv on cpu special vid add in bios and I believe that when I get the new bios it can go even further! Not that I would ever put more than 1.5v into to a cpu lol :) There are so many settings for the phenom its awesome! I need a good DFI OC...

Not quite Chick, I have had it at 3.3Ghz cpu and HT at 1.8Ghz. I dont get much time these days due to 13hour long days. I will attempt to get 3.2 Cpu and 2.4 HT on sunday night. The strange things is this DFI board has issues booting up on a cold start, takes 3 BSOD's to warm up and...

Hello everyone. Ok I am many pages late with this phenom threah but I thought I wouldpost now that I have the first OC up and running. Specs are in me sig and the results are below :) Let me know what you think please :)

Hi there, Can you drop your cpu multi down to x12? If so try.. Bus: 250 Multi: x12 HTT: x4 or x5 depending on volts ram Volts: 2.1v or 2.15v Latency: 5-5-5-24 Your cpu should end up at 3Ghz, HTT at 1250Mhz, ram at 1000mhz (500mhz x2). Cpu voltage should stay the same but bump...

Hey all, Well I took the plunge and today arrived my shiny new Phenom X3 BE along with a DFI DK 790FX-B M2RSH mobo :) I have noticed that there is not many X3's around compared to the X4's! But I am having a bit of trouble with the X3 and AOD and would like some help if possible? I...

I would be careful about running two of the cards. A decent 750W will give you the overhead for load for two of the cards. The SLI certified sticker with coolermaster psu's can mean two of the low end SLI cards, ie: 8600GT. From what you stated about the rails you only have 2 +12 @ 18A...

Hey all! Hello everyone. I am new here although I am yet another long time lurker. :) I have been following this thread since it started and I must say I am impressed with the amount of info for the Phenoms you have! I do intend to upgrade to a Phenom, probably the 45nm ones along with...
