  1. I was on the other night an advanced 3 lvls, the whole time, noone else. It is not too fun by yourself, although I did finally group with a couple other peeps for kicks.
  2. I'll jump on a while but I am not able to sign because I am farrr away from you yet. Around 7 pm today EDIT: Actually, I took a boat the Menithil Harbor, and then walked my buns all the way to Southwind. I am waiting on the bank steps in Stormwind for you! 10.00 PM now
  3. UPDATED my info on post #2
  4. See it for yourself from their site. Zerotherm BTF90 specs
  5. Char Name: Syylar Class: NightElf Druid Prof: None yet EDITED
  6. Best do your research on that PSU, I have heard of a lot of incompatibilities with the NEOs
  7. Don't even think about saying I am cheating. What is the point in cheating? You are just fooling yourself if you do. Besides, I even pmed kingdingeling of a way to cheat at some of these stability tests so he could watch for it. Have you gone through the process of removing your northbranch and southbranch chipset cooler and placing AC% under them? Did you add active coooling to the northbranch? Did you lapp your cppu? Did you check your cpu cooler for flatness? I had to lapp mine it was so far out. There are a lot of fine-tuning tricks to do to get the most outof your system. Also, for the Core 2 Duos, don't be afraid to push the volts to them. My board only goes to 1.7 volts for vcore and I give it all to my cpu on numerous occasions.
  8. Well, check my sig. I had a Scythe Mine III first, and I could run it my 6700 (2.66 GHz) at 3.6 GHZ 24/7. I only had to lower it to 3.4 when I tried to run some games for hours at a time. I knew when to back it down when my pc would reboot. But really, I ran it at 3.6 GHz and my ram at 1080 MHz daily. Then I decided to try to get higher clocks and bought the Tuniq Tower because everyone was telling me it would be soo much better. NOT! It did not help me get any higher than I could get with my Scythe Mine III. To boot, the Scythe Mine is easier to install because it does not require you to put a backup plate on the back side of your motherboard like the Tuniq requires. And you have to have the board out of the case to put a backup plate on. Tthe Scythe Mine III all the way!
  9. It should work just fine. The one problem I have seen come up over and over with the higher performance ram (1000MHz and up) is that sometimes your board will not post and boot up with them without first booting with a cheap stick of generic ram so you can get into your bios and turn the ram voltage up a bit. This is happening because the higher performance ram sticks usually run at 2.0 volts to 2.2 volts. By design, all motherboards default to 1.8 volts. Therefore, some ram will not post until you can get into your bios and raise the volts. By using a cheap stick of ram you can get in there. Once the volts are raised, save and exit from bios, then shutdown. Remove the cheap stick and put in your good ram. Done.
  10. Thats an awesome deal for the G Skill HZ ram kit. VERY popular stuff.
  11. From what I see, your board supports 533MHz DDR2 ram, but only in single channel mode. There is no memtion of dual channel capability, just so you know. I see the ram you linked to is PC2-4200. The link shows only a single stick of ram at 1 GB, that is fine for single channel mode. PC2-4200 is the same as DDR2-533. (divide the 4200 by 8, its close) So, set your ram up in bios as 533MHz. Different boards have different bios's so it is hard for me to tell what your options will be in there and if you are able to select different dividers or not. As far as timings, once in windows, run CPU-Z and check out the SPD tab. You can set your timings according to that. You can even experiment with them by lowering one at a time and trying them out. Maybe you got a good stick and can run at lower timings, but not too likely with valueram.

    I am having a lot of fun with it. I think it's pretty good. Lots of missions to go on to help build your stats up. Like I said elsewhere, don't take on too many missions at once because you end up failing some due to the time restraints.(your busy on one misssion and time is running out on the other missions you took on) I installed on my Athlon X2 3500+, 1 gig ram, 6800gt sys, and it would hardly run at minimum vidoe setting (800x600) too jerky. I then installed on my Conroe 6700 overclocked to 3500 MHz, 2 gig, 7600gt, and it runs smooth as butter at 1024 x 768. Anything higher is not much fun when fire fights start I desperately need video upgrade. AI is pretty good, they will constantly try to flank you and work as a team. <when you die!

    Just be sure not to take on too many missions at once. I took on 4 and then later found out that there is a time limit on some as they expired and told me "mission failed".

    I got it from Gogamer.com for $39.00 and Quake 4 came with it for free
