You have to actually polish to get the mirror finish, and that also introduces a layer of "something" between the heatsink and the CPU.

Flat vs Mirror Shine

There has been some debate over whether a mirror finish is better than a surface that approaches a mirror finish. As long as the...

I've got a dual-p3 1Ghz setup with 2 old school Tt Volcano 7 heatsinks (no fans) with one 120mm fan (running at 7v) blowing on both - they have been running that way for 2 years now, no problems. ...

OC all depends on the proc, is this AM2 or 939?
XP-90c, SI-120, Thermaltake Big Typhoon, Tuniq tower are all good, just look up some google reviews...

Not possible... You must have ati chipset like rd480 or rd580.

And there are still us fan-boys running around (despite the fact that I have 4 Intel rigs, and only 2 AMD, they are still what I spend on for newer equipment).

Been thinking about one of those 3800's for a backup PC - how does it clock?

Is it true that rd580 can use 2 slave cards? IE, I have 1900xtx, and I can get another of the same card and crossfire? I was under the impression that x1600 and x1300 were the only ones...

Thank you AndreYang!

Well, I just figured that as cheap as you can get 2g now, someone would have done this already...

I was thinking about someday soon getting another 2gigs of HZ and trying out 4x1g sticks. I know it would have to be 2T, but has anyone already done this? I found...

Very nice wwm; this will be my setup as well by the end of the week, a8rmvp and 2gb hz, paired with an x1900xtx and opteron 146 @ 2.9g. well done and something for me to shoot for...

I'm perfectly OK with 2.9, but if I can get to 3 w/out much effort, why not? I am having an issue with my Neo2 only allowing me 2t on the mem. I thought it was the mem controller on my 3200+, but...

I am in the 3GHz club on air! Not stable (yet), and running on a divider... All this on my pos Neo2.

2800 now, just gotta use the divider... stability only tested using dawn of war for an hour, but I play games, so that's stable for me.

@ 1.45v mine is running 45º idle, according to BIOS (who knows if this is right!); I have an xp90 with decent (ie, not a tornado...) fan. I am using the 1.b ballistix bios on my neo2. Have not had...

I finally got my 146... 0530 CABNE... it is only doing 2700right now, crap MSI neo2 won't let me crank up my ballistix to 1t and about 260 @ 3338 timings. Will do further testing and post...

Let us know if you find some... Mine has been backordered for days now.

That would be the 940 socket version...

So how's the 0536 doing?

Maybe Vandi's got too many responses, I haven't heard anything in a while now. Anyone else finding these anywhere online?

If I break the seal on my IHS, does the mounting of a heatsink (xp-90 specifically) need to be adjusted, or will it still work fine just mounting it normally?

ps, is it price gouging if people are...

I have the xp-90 and it does blow over the ram (the first 2, anyways).

I love my ballistix pc3200... 255 @ 2.9 volts and 2.5,2,2,5... with 3.3 they will hit 270 @ 2.5,2,2,5.

this is all with 2x512... my bh-5 wouldn't touch them.

I get about 7000 in Sandra @...

My AK (ch-5) will ONLY do 2-2-3, no matter the voltage (up to 3.3) even @ 200fsb.
they only hit about 230 or so on ANY timings...
I think my stick is crap, though, because I know most ch-5 can do...
