its too cool ....im holding the processor its sooo small ...all those up close pics really threw me off how can such power emitt from such a small square?

 

[AMDCam]

Well from my experience you've got plenty of potential man, I mean my 3200+ barton hits 2.5ghz with the good heatsink, plus your 9800 Pro should hit at least 430/390, I mean the one I used to have in my system ran at 455/400mhz with a VF700Cu. I've been noticing since I got my new 6800GT, more often than not people have my (old) specs when they run Athlon XP's (the 9800 Pro), which is strange since most people know the 6600GT dominates that class, but it's cool that other people see the 9800 Pro as being great too.

What kind of heatsink did you get? Congrats man, thats a big upgrade

If you want a good overclocking heatsink get a SI-97A, its the best for socket A

 

[AMDCam]

I've got the Swiftech MCX-462V and I got that overclock with the 92mm Tornado, plus I heard mine's the best. But the SI-97A may be better, I just heard the Swiftech was.

[wazzledoozle]

Ive built computers open air on sheets of plastic, not a good way to run them 24/7 though

Probably could get it thrown together on a plastic cutting board if you have one

 

[Velocity]

[Solaris17]

Nothing wrong with setting it up on a table with it on a box or on the Static bag with the foam pad under it. .. you'll need to jump the power supply with a wire ..

 

[Solaris17]

y would u need to jump the psu i wont need to do that w/ my case will i?

 

[wazzledoozle]

Well the power button on a case connects to 2 pins on the motherboard, pressing the button connects the circuit (trips) activating the power supply. Just take a plastic handled screwdriver and touch it to the power button pins to turn it on (Make sure not to touch the metal part of the screwdriver!)

oooo...ok thats cool but now i know i need to connect the psu wow building a comp may get complicated im glad this site will help ...ill ask u guys questions then my mobo manual will prob only get me only soo far..but it will be cool..o and i got my case free u see i have 512 sdram right know and a spare 128 well the kid only had 128 and was getting memory low errors so i gave him the spare 128 abd said try it he did and this mourning u should have SEEN the kids face David it worked and it felt soo smooth....well i said thats cool and i told him ill just give him my 512 if he gives me the 128 back so this comp will still run..he said SWEET and then said ill just give u the case then i have a gig DDR so it doesnt hurt much...it feels good to just help a lesson someone will eventually read and understand. and though when "GIVING" u arent supposed to get stuff back but im getting a case witch is no prob i would have just givin him the ram and paid the $25 for the case i wouldnt need the ram anyways im not really planning a gaming life for this comp any way my other freind has a Radeon 7500 and i told him im going to give him my 9250 and i will all this will happen i just got a good situation in life and it feels DAMN GOOD!

Yeah, read over the motherboard manual a few times before building. Always a good reference and necessary to find out what some things do
You cant use SDRAM in a DDR-SDRAM socket, in case you didnt know. My friend put some in his comp and killed the ram

 

[Solaris17]
