Yes i have
man I can't believe I missed this thread... I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. :D
Fosco, was it tough? was there any epoxy on the die holding it to the HS? So just cut the sides and use the blade to pop it off from the corners? Did it pop off easy.. or did you have to pre heat or cool it first?
I think you'll find ocz pc3700EB to be much much better than pc4200 b/c latencies are much much much better and will give alot better performance on the A64 setup.Quote:

Edit: beside that, i was thinking of buying some PC4200 memory so i could easily hit high oc with 1:1 ratio :)
And to my knowledge and limited testing ram dividers don't hurt performance provided you can make up the difference in other places. IE running 220ram at 220fsb at 1:1 will not be faster than running say 265-270fsb at PC2700 setting provided cpu is similar in mhz. We have discussed this before, A64 has no true "synch" with fsb as mem controller is on die.

As easy as intel IHS removing.. I cut all the corners first, and then all the sides and it went off prity easy.
No preheat or cooling.

Ok thanks.. heh dont know if i'm that desperate atm yet to void the warrenty.

Np ;)
I have heard about that memory:), buying 2x512MB won't be cheap. 1st i have to know if i will be able to run 1:1 at 260MHz without the issue of reboots at that HTT :rolleyes:Quote:

otherwise why will i spend that amount of money to run it at 209MHz (5:6)
well I'd be farily comfortable betting you could hit 250-260 given enough voltage, might need vdimm mod to do it. But if you run 240fsb at tight timings I think you'd otherwise need 285-290 or more to make up for it at those slack timings on that other ram.Quote:

WHOOOOOO HHOOOO!!
Yeah baba yeah!
I was like well.. i always thought that the HS was never making good contact with the CPU die since my temos never really dropped much when i origonaly went water cooling with this setup.. so that made up my mind to go for it and rip that damn heatspreader off! That plus heh.. ya only live once so go for it!
I got it off no prob! Thanks man!
heh i'll take picks and post it up.
Here she is!
My super early 3400+ AMD64
ADA3400AEP5AP
AAALC 0337MPM
:D
cool... that heat spreader looks like it is copper...
Nice job! Let us know if that helps reducing your temp.Quote:

heh.. well i wish i could tell ya. It seems its much hotter now.. I had probs getting windows reinstalled since the registry got hosed last night.. TOok about 6 attempts to get it runing after i put the cpu back to default just to run the voltage low enough to stablize her.. I'm thinking its my watercooling thats going.. The pump that is.. Its making noises like a fan that rubbin a wire.. So i guess its going out and making the cpu run hotter the past 2 days. Prob even adding heat to it.
i dont see how it would get hotter after removing the HS.. Sucks though that i cant even install a heatsink on this now if the pump goes before i can find a new one.. Anyone know of a great 300+ pump? I have a Hydor 30 now.. Ran fine for about 9 months. :(
Get a Blueline...same as Iwaki, but half the price and actually runs quieter. Search in google for the Blueline HD20.
heh would be nice but since its like 9" x4"x4" i dont think i can squeese it in! :slobber:Quote:

Anything smaller?
i want to get one of these boards cuase my 8rda3+ is giving me :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: but i dont like the idea of having to use clockgen
is there any bioses which have good voltage ranges? and i have adata pc4000 2x512mb, the reason i need a new mobo (incompatible). im probly getting a nc 3000+, they have the 10x multi so im gonna get 2500mhz as long as the board dont bork. any recomendations? and i think ill get a 948u if i can find one here in australia, i can only fid the 8kda3+, but i want the j
The one who dont wanna pull the HS of the chipset for reading the revision.
NVIDIA System utility gives the right revision.
ive got my 3400+ NC

Vcore in bios set on 1.55v
My multimeter read 1.44v on the mosfets... :confused:
Has someone has the same prob, (VOLT DROPS on de 8KDAJ)
2500MHz @1.44v is very very good if the mosfets don't lie....
what's the difference bethween

hmm, got a new proc today:
3200+ nc 0416 rpmw AX core.
Now I'm experiencing this stupid vcor bug too, while I never had troubles with it with my C0 proc. What is making this difference??
@Spider, I thought the J didn't have the 250Gb just the nf3-250 chipset. Thats without the nvraid en firewall.
I've been having that same prob but on my C0 cpu.. I havent noticed it though using the offical 5-14 bios.. Did you flah your bios to somehting newer?Quote:

yep, I'm using the 7-9 now,
let's see what happens when I flash back to 5-14
Update:
5-14 makes no difference here.
under load I got 1.45 (cpu-z) 1.48 on the mosfets
idle I get 1.43 (cpu-z) 1.45 on the mosfets
This while Vcore is set to 1.55 in the bios and I have the mods on which with the same settings gave me 1.6 on my other proc
Its called cold boot it a few times and it should go back to normal.. Just dont go upping that vr more or your gona get a rude awakening when the board desides to pump out the right voltage.
Tried booting a few times but that didn't help.
It was clearing the CMOS that did the trick.
For having a stable Vcore you'll have to flash to 5-14 and clear cmos
