dude although it might not seem like it, 3.1 GHz is a very good clock for a phenom 24/7. Be happy and enjoy a stable system h

Yeah I'm happy, of course I am but I also strive for the absolute best I can get. Thats why the MVP killed me. It just wouldn't clock and I wouldn't give up but in end it won. I'll get that 3.2, just need to play with it more, right now 3.1 will do me fine

here are a few pics of the rig back in its case like I promised. Case was painted black, its just temporary so I really didn't worry much about the wire management, although its not bad. However the case is closed now. Also the little missing plastics where the floppy will go is also put back. The pics were when I had just finished it, so it looks undone, but you guys get the point.

its really good man. Keeps the RAM cool, even the Tracers I have now which tend to run hot. The design and quality is really good and it looks great.

I just bought the 2 model of it

Model 1:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16800998118
$20+ $7s&h= $28-30 with tax

Model 2:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835202003
$25 w/free shipping= $27w/tax

The only difference is that the second model its made for DDR3 ( in case i decide to buy some DDR3 ) and the other one isn't

Plus they cost about the same price

Nice, yeah bro you'll love the cooler, it gives the rig a nice look.

No wonder mine came with different brackets, guess DDR3 has slightly different tabs on the motherboard for the RAM.

assasin, here is a couple of pics from a member here on TPU, he is using the OCz Ram cooler also. By the way, where is this dude, I haven't seen him around here in a long time. His rig is sweet, check it out for yourself:

if I remember correctly it took a bit for me. Now that I am using riva tuner for the tuning of the video card, I removed Catalyst Control Center since it was conflicting, and now it loads quick as hell. once the desktop shows, takes about 4 to 5 seconds for it to be done loading.

How much voltage you giving that thing?

I am at 3.2 @ 1.48

H82LUZ73 · Oct 27, 2008

Was at 1.35 volts but anything over it crashes windows

First tried 1.40 then 1.45 then 1.48 then 1.5 still nothing.Found out the limit is 3.250 for this chip to be stable :banghead:

.Might need the M3A79-T Deluxe to push it further and get it stable.

Just the 2.2 volts that the SPD in cpuz says for the ballstix to run at 1066.these are the updated version with metal clips on the heat spreaders.
