) and now I am switching over to AMD. Yes, AMD! Finally. :pimp:

yeah, that's a lot of components to take out at once.

CjStaal · Mar 17, 2006

Well the mobo got fried... I don't want Intel anymore so I need a new CPU and my grphics card hhas shit falling offc, now for how I fried my board.
Ok, I put it in a dishwasher to cleanout the socket, it would have been fine if I didn't forget to take out the CMOS battery and discharge the capacitors

lol

here are some base builds to work off of if you want.

My Base Builds

This was before they had opterons for 939. I have a feeling with your knowledge youd rather do DFI. Just a few setups for you to look at. Not to mention i could use your point of view on the builds

.

Dude, find a wholesaler you can buy from. NewEgg is alot more expensive than a good wholesaler.

MDK22 · Mar 17, 2006

Well i dont know of any good wholesale computer places around where i live. Also do wholesale places give the same kind of warranties and stuff as newegg?

CjStaal · Mar 17, 2006

They use the manufacturer warrenty

MDK22 · Mar 17, 2006

Return policies is more what i mean.

CjStaal · Mar 17, 2006

OOTay · Mar 17, 2006

Best deal on an opteron, anywhere :toast:

And Newegg can beat any retail stores prices, even when the stores have sales. You would be best off getting everything else from newegg (They dont sell 939 opterons)

zekrahminator · Mar 20, 2006

with the exception of ATIsilencer5...zipzoomandfly sells that for $7 less.

CjStaal · Mar 22, 2006

Actually I get really good good prices from a friend. Anyways the mobo would have been fine if I discharged all the capacitors and didn't forget to take out the CMOS battery... it still powers up but it doesnt boot so I'm going to soldier a new BIOS chip omn it and see if that does anything

CjStaal · Mar 23, 2006

heh I just ripped the core off my pent4 by accident... oh well I guess I'm not going to have to solder that chip anymore

AMD HERE I COME!
