gline wrote: due to the overheating problem id say 400 maybe, youd really need to get that sorted before you sell it, get an artic cooler on the card and some case fans if u can, then maybe sell it for €500?
Zith wrote: Good advice. I think the main reason is the case which for some reason has the PSU upside down (i.e. the cutout on the back part of the case means you can only put it in upside down). That in turn means the PSU fan that should be sitting above the CPU is instead facing the top of the case. Might just move it all into a different cheap case.
masteroftherealm wrote: Oooo yeah thts kinda dangerous.
gline wrote: yeh thats not good, surprised the psu didnt overheat
Zith wrote: Everything ticks along fine. What happens with the case closed is the CPU shuts down automagically when inside the case gets too hot. Vid card and psu are not really hot at all just the build up from everything without enough venting

riptide wrote: Gline - quick question(s)? What ram did you have? Was it DDR400? At what latencies? What voltage did the Prescott take to keep it at 4Ghz? Did you lock the memory speed, or just ramp up the FSB? Thanks
masteroftherealm wrote: Its Gline youd be suprised wha he can pull off. 2-2-2-5 Id say(",)
gline wrote: the ram was only Corsair 3200XL, so i ran it @ about 420mhz 2-2-2-5, but it can do 4400@ 2.5CL, i ran with a divider and ramped up the fsb, the bus was running @ over 1ghz Voltage was set to 1.5v in the bios, but it spiked to 1.6v sometimes i noticed in cpu-z. I find asus the best for oc'ing after dfi. I also used twinmos PC4400 ram cl3 to get 4ghz previously thanks man
