I just got a MA790X-UD4P here, and so far it seems like a really solid board. I love the beefy PWM, the passive heatsink, the ESATA bracket, COM header (I work with Embedded Systems a lot), and the...
Any K8 based chip should work (ie all the dual cores except the Kumas). As for the best CPU, any G2 stepping Brisbane should do, although personally the BE 5400+ is probably the easiest to OC.
No...
Let me get this straight. You're running on a motherboard with a visibly burnt mosfet and you're wondering why you have instability?
The power going into the processor is probably nasty as hell,...
Is Cool and Quiet disabled? I know Anandtech has had stuttering issues with video when C&Q is enabled.
I would go for this one:

Out of the ones you suggested, I would go with teh Gigabyte.
Also Asus owns ASRock.
Thanks for the advice on the ICs. I went ahead and got the Reaper's since they were the cheapest and the heatpipes won't interfere with my CPU heatsink. Between that and the Palit 4850 coming in,...
Right now Newegg is running a sale with $20-35 in rebates on most of the OCZ 4GB kits and I was wondering which would be the best overclockers/most reliable.

450W is enough for most systems out there. The problem is that many of the no-name psus lie about their ratings. A lot of companies like Powmax sell 200W power supplies as 600W power supplies. If...
Can you point us to proof that it is invalid? Ed admittedly offered an educated guess as to what these 6 "magic" pins do. All you have offered is "knowledge" that this isn't the case along with a...
Its actually CPU->HyperTransport->Northbridge->PCIE1.1->Southbridge.
Really its not a big deal, Anandtech would like to see a PCIE2.0 link because Anandtech would like to see a bigger number. The...
There is a PCIE1.1 link between the NB and SB, this is what Anandtech was complaining about. It's not a big deal as PCIE1.1 is PLENTY for the amount of data going through the SB. The Northbridge...
In this case the Super I/O chip is closer to the actual temperature. Whatever the cause is, the value read from the register is inaccurate.
My point is simply this, you cannot have sub-ambient...
Those temps sound right, VVJ's do not.
Thank you, with a 22C Ambient temperature, CPU temps of 11C and 21C are impossible. I would suggest that NextSensor's "Processor" sensor is actually...
I believe TheCoolest when he said AMD acknowledged the problem in an email. I also believe the proof of temperature readings that defy the laws of thermodynamics (ie a temperature reading below...

Whatever the reason is, the Brisbane DTS reports temps that are way too low. This goes for any software that reads the sensor including NextSensor,...
The on-die thermal diode on the Brisbane chips is defective and will read 10-20 degrees lower than it should.
It is physically IMPOSSIBLE for the chip to run cooler than ambient temperatures on...
As far as the games are concerned, they are working with one GPU. The driver handles management of the cards. I agree that you should get a new PSU.
As for the 4GB of memory question, XP will...
Even the cheaper C2D's like the E4XXX series will outperform any X2 when both are oced to the max.
duploxxx, your argument makes no sense, the only downside to the P35 compared to the 770 is the...
Try cooling the mosfets
Honestly I would get the G2 Brisbane 4000+ an undervolt it, you'll save like 40 bucks.
The 560+ is the better clocker of the two, but the 7050 is plenty to max out a 4200+ HT wise.
Yea its best to use the motherboard sensors with these chips, I'm not sure why AMD hasn't fixed this yet, my guess is that they don't really care about it.
Then it might as well be L2 cache, the whole point of cache hierarchies is that the lower levels of cache can be slower and therefore have higher capacities without jacking up the cost.
The Biostar TF560+ is a great board for overclocking AM2 chips at a nice price. It isn't really an AM2+ board as it doesn't support HT3 and split power planes. In reality its an AM2 board, the +...
