yeah I read that, thats the DDR3 board though(I think?), not the DD2 one.

I would hope its VERY similar, but I am not sure

thanks!! great info to have

Why? I can't see the point. What the reasons? Do they believe they live in Iraq? Do they believe they aren't protected by policemen? Is it just a penis envy, just like Freud said? Selling guns should be forbidden, by the way, but I can understand (or said better, I can't understand but it's my faul...

clean!!

love it

So have you seen you seen the federal government impose new laws or limits on handguns since Obama? All I have seen is states loosening restrictions. It just seems like a waste of perfectly good hysteria, no? he signed a ban on recycling brass from ammo for public sale, but that was repealed shorty...

needs to be ddr2 compliant

I was looking at the gigabyte GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H

with the second core unlocked how much faster is the 240?

interesting.

Im willing to clock it down some too

the xigmatek cooler and my ram got here today

thats as much as a 5770

It ain't passive if your huge case fans are blowing on the heatsink! I think it would be interesting to see what temps you get with the fans off. With the CPU underclocked and undervolted and a case that's vented at the top, it might work. :lol: shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I would be willing to try it, fo...

its a possibility.

I'm not all that familiar with them however.

aren't they a little pricier?

Do any of you know the low-wattage efficiencies of these PSUs? Any experience or links for passive cooling experiments with that CPU? I doubt it'd work in every case, even with a huge heatsink. I have seen posts from a few guys wth the x2 240 running them at stock speed at <.9v I figure with .8ishv...

thanks for the suggestion. newegg needs to put it on a free shipping sale so I can snag it! my current PC is idling at ~125w. by idle I of course mean running the junk it always runs, none of which is very intensive. if I could get this new one to to do 45w that would be great. save me 11 bucks a mo...

a second LAN card should work fine

were you able to find much info on undervolting/clocking on that motherboard?

Low power means quiet almost by definition!

it sure does!

I plan to put a nice large HS on the CPU and yank the fan.....


I have some OK cooler master i think fans that push good air and aren't too loud.....
COOLER MASTER R4-L2R-20AC-GP

and me

updating the 2.5's would be cool too!
