Ive noticed now that it runs at 60 under load the performance is MUCH ...

Well I got the panaflo and also I got the thermalright slk 900a.. Im also using Artic Silver 5 This setup has lowered my temps over the stock AMD HSF.. But not by much.. Seems to be by about 3 degrees C... This makes no sense to me.. My CPU is now running idle at ~ 56C vs 60C.. I put my AS5 about th...

Well I do appreciate the nexus idea but they dont seem to push that much air.. I need a 92mm fan and the nexus 92 pushes only 27 CFM.. My case is running very warm right now along with my processor so I am going to go with one of the louder panaflo fans probably which pushes 56 CFM. Also about the b...

well i fixed it.. it was some weird jumper setting... at first with the pin on the monitor would get no signal then i took the pin off and everything worked.. just at slow speeds.. then i put the pin back on.. and everything works again and properly.. strange..

ok well the first time I booted it said amd 2800+ 2.08,,
then i rebooted and it went to 1.24GHz no model number..
then i put fsb 166 which gave it 1.66GHz..
Then I reset cmos and all I can get it to even on 166 fsb is 1.24 GHz....
Any ideas?

Ok well I fixed it.. just had to change a mobo jumper.. also I got the AMD hsf.. runs at about 60 C no load it looks like.. not quite what I expected but oh well..

ok well i reinstalled my old processor and now it works again.. so what does that mean? Thanks

Will any socket A processor run at all its proper settings on my motherboard? I have an msi nForce2 k7n2 model ms-6570. Thanks! Because i ...
