have you gone to the universal abit forums? lots of good info on there including a thread with recommended voltages.. i'm at work..don't have a link handy but there's good stuff there for this board:)

1.5 is what i've seen as outside, but i wouldn't go over 1.4 max, unless you're going for a suicide run:) i'd try upping other voltages that your mobo supports rather than going over 1.35-1.4

my 9450 quad..indeed houston..there's a problem. this is nothing though..when i first installed it saturday it was reading 212-214C all day..this is nothing:)

actually there is this:

and yes, i'd buy it before the thermaltake case:)

i'd buy a case in the shape of a ufo before i bought that thermaltake:) surprised someone hasn't done that already..unless i missed it

i ended up ditching one of my pci hauppauge tuner cards and replaced it with a pci-e hauppauge card to free up a slot for my add on card..you know, when i bought my new gigabyte board and lost a pci slot i was optimistic from what i had read that the onboard had progressed far enough..at the same ti...

agreed..the upside is that realtek releases a ton of driver updates..the downside...realtek releases a ton of driver updates:)

while the sound is decent for onboard, it's unfortunate that in about 15 sets of drivers, they have not correctly implemented the much vaunted dts encoding feature which gigabyte anyways touts. the driver sets either have it, but are locked at 48bit..or they don't have dts, but have the variety of s...

damn, that's ugly..a case that shouldn't be seen..or heard:)

fixed now..yay@

it appears that avast did a major overhaul of scripting and created a false positive issue. they are working on a fix as i speak.

my av (avast) which i've been running for months, all of sudden indicates a malware virus on every thread i click here (not ads..just forum threads). i've come here a number of times and have posted and have never run into this here, or elsewhere?

Virus/Worm

VBS:Malware-gen

is what is coming up.

sorry..never mind:)

tres true..and i agree with the review that if someone had 100 computers in there operation with these boards, the environmental savings could start to be signifigant. then again, if they didn't make boards we could overclock, that would be a sizeable saving as well:)

your correct..i can verify it does not work on 2.0. nice gimmick, but would need to save a heap of dollars to consider it worthwhile to change my board.

in reference to the notion that a bios update would enable this on a p35 board not currently supported, i'd like to see that information. i do know that i get a not compatible message when i try to run it on a p35 ds4 revision 2.0. sucks pretty big time that they didn't implement this feature by the...

i believe they are spec'ed out to .8 volts minimum..i'm running my 6400 at .9 stable. it won't go as low as .8..and .9 is plenty low compared to the stock 1.325. i don't think the temp gains get much lower (from .992 to .9, i only lost 1C on each core)

for kicks while cleaning out my daughters case today (she lives 2 hours from me so it's been...hmmm..never (2 years) since the computer was assembled and any cleaning..and sits on the floor in a house with 3 dogs and a cat..blew it out first at 60psi..thought i got it all. took it up to 100 for a se...

lol..lots of interesting options..i have a leaf blower minus bag..never considered that idea..hell, it would be more annoying to listen to then my new compressor in the house though..i find the darn thing loud outside (yeah, i know..airplugs)..re: moisture..yep, considered that..but oil won't hurt a...

ahhh, i didn't realize that with the EIST..must do some reading:) thanks...yeah, the sense i had otherwise is if you good undervolt decently and run stable that was one of the signs of a good one.

good points..one thing i never do when cleaning with air is start it up right away due to possibility of a bit of moisture but i've never had a problem. my case is 4 ft off the floor, but it's in the basement so dust still does collect (unfiltered intake fans). my wife's by necessity sits on the flo...

some people clean out their system every couple of weeks..me, i'm not that attentive..maybe once every 3 months. part of the reason is the price of canned air in canada (cheapest is about 5.50 a can and i'll go through a can a time to be thorough..but that's not including shipping which is the price...

i agree with nutball. i have both nexus and noctua..tried the noctua because of rave reviews but thought..wow, so pricey..the nexus to my ears are just as good an option without a hefty price.

new guy bumps an old thread...i stumbled across this site looking for undervolting options and love this site already..fyi, played around with undervolting and at 6400 stock fsb of 266 and memory at 400 (4 gigs of ram) no problem running the 6400 at 1.000 volts even. reads on 5 different monitor pro...

i have a somewhat different opinion on the video cards. i've seen the ati referred to and just my opinion, but i see no better pq for tv watching with an ati than a 6600, 7900 or 8800..some people feel the ati's are more "vibrant in colour", some people feel the colour is "phony" looking so it's rea...

i have the silverstone case in question. i have 2 -92 mm for intake (had one until today..added a 2nd, dropped my case temp and cpu temps 2 Celcius with the addition) those are in the front. 2 exhaust fans at the back. one of the new larger footprint heatsinks will block the possibility of using a s...
