Hey chew, PC Partner will likely lock all overclocking options out of the bios. Unless there is a reference bios they can use, as there were no options in their xpress 200 boards for overclocking.Quote:

hey, i glanced through a few pages and didnt find any info, does the board have 3 or 4 phase power?
4 phase. It actually works really good to. Temps don't get out of hand and overclocking dualcores is a breeze.Quote:

Unfortunately i woke up late today and I had 2 opened boxes on my steps. Someone had opened them up and stole a swiftech waterblock and the gskill 2x 512mb tccd. I will be watching for the x1800xt coming like a hawk now..........as I already took about a $150 dollar loss today in hardware.........
Thats messsed up.

Overclocker thieves! sorry to hear that chew*. Why do the postman leave the packets on the steps? Here in Spain if you're not at home (or you're asleep), they leave a notice then you pick the cargo at the post office :confused:
Yah that's what's gonna happen from now on.....I had my mailing options changed. Its a PITA though that i have to do that now. I'm working on getting another set........Sucks though to have to spend enough for a 2 gig set just for some testing purposes.
Exactly. How many people in a one mile radius would recognize a water block for what it is, let alone have a use for it? Totally senseless. The RAM has wider application but even still. That just suxxorsQuote:

Any way a little update. My second x1800xt 512mb card arrived today and is available for pickup tommorow at 10AM after recent mailing preference changes. Tccd will probably arrive next monday I'm guessing. Should have results sometime tommorow for the x fired x1800xt's.
I'm hanging out for this as it will dictate where a lot of my money will go :p: I have a 256mb x1800xt on its way now, and will be getting that sapphire board and another identical card if they perform for chew* ... I have a feeling I should save quickly :toast:Quote:

Test config will be.
X2 3800 water cooled
2x1 gig OCZ plats ddr 400 2-3-2-5
seasonic S12 500 watt PSU
ATI reference manta (obviously)
2 X retail ATI x1800xt's 512mb
First will be stock scores.
Second will be with cpu at 2.9 gig to eliminate the bottleneck of cpu.
Third if the new card cooperates will be OC'ed (my original card does 823/981)
What GPU coolers are you going to use?
Well the one Has the Zalman Gaytality and the other stock ATI cooler.Quote:

is that seasonic 500w gonna supply enough power for not only 2 x1800xt's, but a dual-core, and overclocking?
I'll stand by my seasonics :) It's just for testing anyway. I never planned to run x fire 24/7
Does going xfire reduce ur overall cpu overclock?
is the xfire without mastercard working
